However, the small item cost 4,500 dollars, and Enna Clark hesitated.
She initially planned to spend more than 1,500 dollars on a gift.
But even a small tie clip was twice her budget.
Enna bit her lip, hesitating.
The saleswoman, sensing hope, continued with her sales pitch, “Miss, this tie clip also has other functions. You see, if you do it this way, it can be a brooch.”
Enna Clark looked down at the tie clip attached to her chest by the saleswoman and was taken aback.
She could hardly imagine Baron Lawrence wearing a tie clip on his shirt like this; the ‘trendy’ way of wearing it was so inconsistent with his noble elegance.
Just as she was considering her options, her eyes caught sight of the star necklace around her neck.
She halted the motion of taking off the tie clip.
Raising her head, Enna Clark smiled at the saleswoman and said, “Thank you, I’ll take this one. Please wrap it up for me.”
“Alright, I’ll wrap it up for you for free.” The saleswoman didn’t expect her to be so decisive and took the tie clip handed to her by Enna Clark, heading towards the counter.
Enna Clark took out her wallet and prepared to go to the counter to pay. Tobias Clark tugged at her clothes, lowered his voice, and asked in pain, “Woman, are you really buying this for that dubious man?” “Yeah, isn’t it nice?”
‘ ” It looks great, but it’s too expensive!
Bobby was quite frugal; to him, any expenditure more than 1.5 dollars was considered high. A gift costing 4,500 dollars was a tremendous amount!
If he only bought a cake after his wife spent so much on a gift for the neighbor, he’d seem too cheap.
But buying clothes… would be even more expensive!
His inner abacus clicked away, his brows furrowing as if someone had cut off a piece of his flesh, and he painfully muttered, “Woman, we’ll split the cost of the tie clip.”
“What?” He spoke too softly, and Enna really didn’t hear what he said.
Tobias Clark swallowed his pain and uttered with a resonant voice, “I said, I’ll pay for half of the tie clip.”
When he mentioned paying, Enna was more surprised than anyone else, “You’ll
She knew all too well how frugal her Bobby was.
Usually, when buying beverages at the supermarket, he would skip his favorite drinks and opt for a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Just because he could get an extra bottle for the same price!
Her frugal Bobby was actually willing to spend big money.
It simply wasn’t the Bobby she knew.
Her surprised and doubtful gaze deeply wounded Tobias Clark’s pride. But the most important thing was that he had spent money, which put him in a bad mood, so he glared back in anger, “Can’t I? Enna Clark, I’ll pay half!”
He had a habit of calling her by her full name when he was angry.
When Enna heard him call out her full name, she knew she’d stepped on her little husband’s landmine again. However, over 1,500 dollars was too much for a 5-year-old child. She knew that Bobby had a cherished savings book with quite a bit of money in it, which he hid as if he were fighting a tunnel war. Enna didn’t know the exact amount she had in her savings book, but over 1,500 dollars was too much. After some thought, Enna decided to negotiate with him,
“Darling, Mummy knows you mean well, so how about you contribute 150 dollars? That way, this gift will be from both you and me to your Dad.”
Tobias Clark was about to agree. But when he remembered that today was the dubious man’s birthday, and the tie clip was a birthday present, he held back his agreement. With a cool and impatient expression, Tobias stuck his hands into his pockets, furrowed his brow, and declared, “I said I’ll pay half, and that’s what I meant! That’s settled.’
He was generous with money that was going to be spent anyway. At least on the surface, he looked pretty cool. He handed a card to the saleswoman, who was stifling her laughter, gestured like a big spender, and said, “Check,
please..”
