The Ex and Her Riches

Charles, who was learning to walk in heels as quickly as he could, nearly fell.

Scowling, he cast Nico a stern look.

“What?” The latter was perplexed.

Even the salesgirl at the counter was watching him.

He takes his girlfriend out shopping yet asks her to pay for it herself!

Instinctively, the salesgirl took a closer look at Nico. Having initially found him handsome, she was beginning to think he was a scoundrel.

Meanwhile, sensing the salesgirl’s gaze on him, Nico gave an awkward smile.

As he couldn’t come clean about Charles being a man lest they were both branded as perverts, he could only explain, “She holds all my money. I don’t have a penny on me.”

In an instant, the salesgirl’s eyes shone, and she complimented, “What a good man you are, sir. Miss, you’re really lucky to be with a man who makes good money and lets you spend it.”

Nico felt like he was on cloud nine.

To Summer, he was indeed a good husband.

He then looked at Charles once more, shooting the latter a signal to quickly get over here and pay up.

Charles gazed stonily back at him.

He thought this money should be his reimbursement for dressing as a woman to be the contact for Nico’s mission.

Nico’s actually making me take the fall for it! Is he planning to use the receipt to claim reimbursement after going back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation? What a calculative fellow.

Though Charles was not short on money, he was not going to foot the bill generously every time.

Giving a light cough, he adjusted his voice and complained in that sweet, high-pitched tone again, “What are you talking about? I have nothing left. I gave you my entire paycheck when I got paid, didn’t I? You said your wife wanted to buy a diamond necklace, and I paid for that.”

All of the salesgirls in the vicinity immediately looked scandalized.

He… has a wife? So, their relationship is adulterous?

The salesgirl who had a favorable impression of Nico earlier grimaced at once.

Sc*mbag! He’s a cheating sc*mbag!

All of a sudden, the group of salesgirls started looking at Charles differently, too.

How low can you go to date somebody, knowing full well that he has a wife? This sc*mbag couple is truly a match made in heaven. What a pity that two people as good-looking as they are turned out rotten to the core.

In the few short minutes after Charles spoke, the salesgirls already painted a vivid mental image of a dramatic story.

Nico was rendered speechless.
