Debbie returned her a stare, but she wasn’t going to answer her question. She was too embarrassed to tell them that the present was for
Carlos and it was an apologetic present for offending him earlier.
“Spit it out,” the other girls demanded and stretched their arms towards her to give her the bags. Debbie took the bags sullenly.
Kasie instantly felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off her and she felt much happier because of it.

Debbie considered it for a moment and replied, “That sounds about right. I know what I should get him now.”
She handed the bags back to her friends and started walking back.
“Hey, Debbie. What kind of friend are you?” Kristina yelled as she ran after her angrily.
While the two girls walked farther and farther away, Kasie lowered her head with disappointment. Although she was very tired, she quickened her pace and followed them since she didn’t want to be left behind.
Debbie remembered an embroidered box she had spotted lying in a showcase earlier, the contents of which had caught her attention.
Before Long, she walked back into the store that sold suits.
“Welcto Enjoy!” the shop assistant greeted warmly as soon as the customers stepped in.
Debbie smiled at her and pointed at the embroidered box in the showcase.
“I’d like to have a look at that one, please.”
The woman fetched the box without hesitation and handed it to Debbie.
“There is a brooch and a collar pin inside this box. Both are made of sapphire. Miss, are you looking for a present for your boyfriend? You have keen eyes. Every item in the box is uniquely designed and specially made to order.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she heard the word ‘sapphire’, Debbie’s eyes went straight towards the price tag. One hundred and eighty-eight thousand!
Her entire savings were just Less than two hundred thousand.
Debbie was hesitant. She thought about it for a long tbefore she finally pressed her lips and made up her mind. However, just as she was looking around to search for the shop assistant, she heard a familiar voice from behind her.
“Wrap up the accessories I just Looked at.”
“Gail? Son of a gun!” Debbie felt as if she had found a dead fly in her soup. She ignored Gail, and turned around to walk towards the cashier’s desk with the embroidered box in her hand. Much to her surprise, the shop assistant stopped her in her tracks.
“I’m sorry miss, but the other lady has already agreed to purchase this,” she said to Debbie apologetically.
‘What? Gail wants the sthing as me? Since when does she have such good taste?’ Debbie mused, annoyed.
Gail noticed the embroidered box in Debbie’s hand. Having just realized what had happened, she sneered and said, “Debbie, luck is not on your side today. I saw that box first.” In truth, Gail had no intentions of spending money on the items in the store, but now that she had the chance to snatch something from Debbie, the price didn’t matter at all.
Just at that moment, Kasie and Kristina arrived at the scene. As soon as they saw Debbie, they started complaining.
