CHAPTER 58: SHOPPING AT THE MALL -4

They went back and forth buying Mia clothes and shoes, each one more expensive than the last.

Everytime they expect Yohan to give up he picks something more expensive and pays for it without even checking the price.

"Sir that bag is a limited edition blue sky Hermie bag, just that alone cost $27,000!" The sales attendant sounded like she was warning him of danger.

In her entire life she had never sold as much as she did today, it was probably one of their highest sales for the whole month and it was all because of that man.

’So there are actually rich young people out there who don’t show it’

Her whole outlook of life had been changed.

"That’s $87,000 now," Jasper murmured, his face filled with disbelief

"Since when does he have so much?"

Freddie gritted his teeth, "there’s no way he could have gotten all this money from that his stupid massage parlour,"

"Yeah, maybe his parents had some secret trust fund or this is their life insurance money," Jasper agreed.

They spoke in hush tones so that the people watching the Livestream wouldn’t hear what they were saying.

Freddie clicked his teeth, narrowing his eyes. "How much do you have with you?"

"Only 20k, I spent all the rest last night at the club,"

"okay, send it to me,"

"Freddie maybe we should find a way to end this now,"

"How many people are watching right now?" Freddie asked.

"About 4,000"

"Can’t you see it’s already too late to stop now, if I lose to Yohan my public image would be destroyed,"

"B-but it’s just a game," Jasper was obviously more worried about his money than he was for Freddie’s image.

But one look from Freddie and he knew he wasn’t asking, "Just shut the fuck up and do what I tell you to,"

"O-okay,"

After a while Freddie received the alert, adding it to the $20,000 he had left he now had $40,000 total,"

’This should be enough’ he stepped up.

"To be honest this is the most I have ever spent on a girl in one day,"

"Same here," Yohan replied casually.

That made Freddie even more angry, because it sounded like Yohan was trying to say they were on the same level.

’We can never be on the same level’ his fist clenched.

"Why don’t we change things up a little,"

He led them to the main counter where the expensive jewelry was kept in a show glass.

He pointed at a white stone necklace,

"Sir that’s a cultured pearl necklace, worth approximately $31,000,"

He hesitated, ’that’s expensive’ it became difficult to swallow. In no other circumstances would he have ever bought such an expensive gift for a girl he wasn’t even fucking, it would be difficult to even get it for a girl he was dating.

But right now it wasn’t even about the girl, it was about not losing to Yohan.

"I’ll buy it," he decided.

"Okay... but sir this necklace comes in a set with these pair of earrings and they are worth $7,500 each,"

Freddie broke into a sweat, "So you mean I have to buy all of them together?"

"You can choose not to but we are told to advice clients to buy the set since they were made to compliment each other,"

Freddie knew what he had left was definitely not enough, but he still handed her the card. If he hesitated for too long they’ll figure out what was going on.

Just when she was about to swipe the card he stopped her, "wait..."

"...I’m supposed to have some store credits right?" He tried speaking with a hush tone, but with all eyes on him it was impossible.

"Freddie, are you asking for store credit?" Yohan asked with a raised brow.

"W-well you never said anything about that so I’m not really doing anything wrong... I just figured... why don’t I try saving some money," he anxiously defended.

Yohan wanted to press further but he figured that the people were already doing that for him on the Livestream. For Freddie to ask for store credit was as good as him admitting he was out of cash.

"Fine I’ll allow it, if you really need the store credit you can use it,"

Just then the attendant swiped the card but the transaction declined. The beeping sound was loud so everyone could immediately tell what had happened.

There was a short silence,

"Sir... it didn’t work..." The attendant finally said.

"D-did you use the credit?"

"Yes, it still wasn’t enough,"

Freddie immediately signaled Jasper to end the Livestream.

"Okay guys it seems like we are having a little situation with the payment machine, I’ll be back shortly,"

It was a desperate lie but they had no other choice.

Yohan got closer, "I don’t think it’s the machine, it looks like Freddie’s card declined... Wait, does that mean I win?"

His playful enthusiasm was clearly just meant to further mock Freddie, who just stood in one one spot with his head buried.

His followers Jasper and Hazard were surprised by the final outcome. To think Yohan would actually win against Freddie Micheal.

"Is that why you ended the stream, because you didn’t want your viewers to see Freddie go broke?" He chuckled, his words acting like salt on a wound.

He placed his arm on his shoulder, "Don’t worry Freddie, I’m sure they probably didn’t realize what happened,"

Suddenly Freddie slapped away his arm and grabbed his collar,

"Yohan you think I don’t know what this is? I’m sure you and this girl planned everything. You orchestrated this whole game just to scam me, well I’ve caught on to your little plan and I’m going to make sure you regret this,"

Yohan smirked, "why are you being such a sore loser? It’s not my fault you spent all your money,"

"Yohan you don’t know who you are messing with do you?"

"Fine, I’ll pay for that necklace just so you would understand what is truly going on,"

He handed the attendant his card and she swiped it, the transaction went through.

"Let’s go Mia, see you guys around," he helped her carry some of her items and they left.

Freddie was pretty shaken up to think Yohan still had that much money left.

No for him to spend this much today he probably even has way more. Just who the hell was that person.
