Chapter 39
Tobias stopped at the entrance of a lingerie store and uttered, "It's not convenient for me to go in the shop. Go in and pick out some things for yourself."
Natalie hummed in reply and went in.
The lady at the counter noticed someone enter the shop and greeted solicitously, "Miss, what are you looking for?"
Natalie was a little uncomfortable when the shop assistant received her warmly. She usually encountered horrible shop assistants when she visited some slightly expensive places on her own.
She thought for a moment and soon realized that her previously affordable attire attracted contemptuous looks. She currently was wearing the dress Cecilia gave her, which looked quite expensive, and naturally, the shop assistant was treating her differently.
"I'll just look around." It was the first time for Natalie to visit such a luxurious lingerie shop. She was at a loss as to how she should go about her shopping.
She glanced at the price of a bra casually and that made her heart pound.
"Would you like to have a look at our latest product? It's called 'Spring' and the colors are really stunning," the shop assistant asked.
Natalie batted her eyelashes. What a luxurious shop! Even a bra had a name. She used to purchase a fifty dollar bra and a set of three panties for ten dollars.
Natalie wanted to check out the lingerie the shop assistant mentioned, so she followed the shop assistant.
It was a set of mint green lingerie. The color was pastel and soft, which lived up to its name.
"My dear, this set looks great. I want it." Suddenly, Natalie heard a delicate voice that made one's heart tremble.
Natalie was taken aback. She could not believe that she would bump into someone she hated in the shop. Was that not Queenie standing in front of her?
Queenie was surprised as well. She rubbed her eyes and she thought she was seeing things.
This was Boulevard Shopping Mall! Natalie actually came to such a luxurious place to shop?
However, she immediately recalled that Natalie was currently with Tobias, hence it was not shocking for Natalie to shop in a luxurious shopping mall.
She studied Natalie's dress and she instantly knew that it was a lavish dress with just one look.
Natalie, who used to purchase clothes from roadside stalls, was currently able to afford expensive clothing too!
"Natalie, you think you can shop here too?" Queenie's face instantly darkened.
How was that b*tch Natalie qualified to shop in the same place as her? Queenie was furious! "Why can't I come here if you can?" Natalie retorted.
Queenie's face was gloomier than ever. She scoffed, "You're comparing yourself to me? Previously, you just shopped in markets and small stalls but you're comparing yourself to me?"
Natalie sneered, "How am I that different? We are sisters and we're both poor too!"
Natalie and Queenie were born into the same family but their lifestyles were completely different. Queenie was always seen donning expensive branded goods.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Naturally, her family could never provide the money for her to purchase them. Queenie was quite beautiful, so she relied on her looks to make various men pay for her.
Madison was proud of her daughter and she would always praise her daughter for being able to extract money from men's pockets.
"Queenie, what's wrong?" At the same time, a stout man, who weighed over three hundred pounds, approached Queenie. Every step he took seemed to cause a mini earthquake in the shop.
The smile on Natalie's lips turned colder. She concluded, "This is the difference between you and me, isn't it?"
Queenie went ballistic. She pointed at Natalie's nose and exclaimed, "You b*tch, don't think that you can be proud of yourself just because you hooked up with Mr. Whitlock. You're not as pretty as me and Mr. Whitlock will abandon you one day."
"Queenie, watch your mouth!" A trace of anger flashed across Natalie's face.
