When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 65
The sales assistant thought, âSo what if heâs the king of business? He still has to make his girlfriend happy!â
The sales assistants couldnât help but start discussing.
âWhat a perfect match!â
âIâm so envious. When will I ever get a sweet love like theirs?â
âI canât take it anymore. Iâm going to be a hopeless romantic. Iâll go check out some criminal cases to calm down!â
The staffâs discussion was neither loud nor soft, just enough for both Gina and Gabriel to hear.
For some reason, Gina actually felt a little embarrassed.
She thought, âBut it seems that Gabriel is really eager to give me a gift.
Gina nodded and said, âAlright. I can accept your gift.â
She paused for a moment and added, âSince you gave me a gift, Iâll return a gift to you in the future.â
Probably because she grew up in She
an orphanage, she was not skilled at handling social relationships and worldly atta remembered that when she first returned to the Miller familyâs home, members of the Miller family talked about her behind her back, saying she looked aloof and had no connection with them.
Gina was at a loss when she heard this, feeling unsure of how to deal with this situation. She slowly began to learn the so- called ways of the world. She knew that if she wanted to treat others well, she had to make an effort. Therefore, she began to offer everything she could to the Miller family, which was her so-called family. She did not tell them what she had done. On one hand, it was because of certain aspects of her identity she couldnât reveal On the other hand, she didnât want them to feel like she was trying to please them.
She thought. After all, weâre a family. It is only right to do things for family, right?â
That was how Gina thought about it.
Gabriel found it amusing and frustrating at the same time. He felt like there was a hint of seriousness in Ginaâs words, as if she was afraid of owing him a favor.
Gabriel nodded and said, âAlright, but can your return gift be according to my request?â
Gina didnât see any problem with that. âOf course,â she replied.
âAlright,â Gabriel said. âWeâll talk about the specifics then when I ask you for a gift in return. Is that okay?â
âMm-hmm, Gina replied as she nodded.
A call came in Gabriel glanced at it and noticed that it was a call from an employee of the company. If it was any other unimportant call, he would not answer it. He just wanted to enjoy the time he had with Gina.
âIâll take this call,â Gabriel said to Gina. âTake your time choosingâ
Initially, Gabriel intended to accompany Gina to choose. Now, the sales assistant would accompany Gina instead. As the sales assistant explained the materials and styles of the handbags to Gina, she engaged in small talk with Gina from time to time. âMiss Miller, your fiancé is so kind to you,â she said.
Gina widened her eyes and clarified, âHeâs not my fiancé.â

The sales assistant had a look of understanding things. She said, âIâm sorry. Iâm sorry, I know. The wedding reception hasnât been held yet, so itâs indeed inappropriate to say that heâs your fiancé,
After all, when a big shot like Mr. Jackson holds an engagement party, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire city the sales assistant thought.
Gina opened her mouth but said nothing. She did not explain much either.
The sales assistant saw Gina looking around and not saying anything, so she asked, âMiss Miller, you donât like these styles,
huh
âNot really,â Gina said,
She just had a bit of decision paralysis.
âWhat do you think of these handbags then?â the sales assistant asked.
âNot bad,â Gina said casually. âTheyâre all pretty good.â
Gabriel returned after answering the call and asked, âC n a, howâs the selection going?â

The sales assistant replied enthusiastically on behalf of Gina, saying, âMiss Miller said all these handbags are pretty good.â
Gabriel glanced at the variety of handbags on the shelves and said indifferently. âWrap them all up
C i n a was stunned, thinking. Thatâs not necessary!
then.
The sales assistantâs eyes widened, thinking. These handbags, plus the accessories, will cost over two million dollars at a minimum. Iâm truly shocked by Mr. Jacksonâs lavish spending just to please his fiancée. Is this the kind of boyfriend you hear about in stories, who buys handbags worth over two million dollars for his girlfriend when he does things on the spur of the moment? And my ex-boyfriend⦠he would only buy me an ice cream worth three dollars when he acted on a whim!
The sales assistant wanted to beat her chest and stamp her feet.
Gina quickly said, âI just didnât know which one to choose, and thatâs why I said they were all good. It doesnât mean I want to buy them all.â
He thought, âDecision paralysis? I get it.
Gabrielâs appeared gentle.
âLetâs not choose then,â he said. âWeâll buy them all, and you can take your time picking later.â
He then instructed the sales assistant again, saying, âWrap them all up.â
The sales assistant nodded vigorously and was overjoyed, thinking, âNo need to worry about this monthâs sales performance. anymore!â
On the street outside, Olivia held Ethanâs arm and walked out of Quaria Jewelry Store.
The engagement diamond rings had been bought. The diamond was a dazzling ten-carat stone. She loved it and couldnât wait to put it on.
âOlivia, weâre supposed to put it on at our engagement party,â Ethan said. âYou put it on too early.â
âEthan, I just want to wear it now,â Olivia said.

Chapter 65
When Olivia acted endearingly, Ethan could not resist anymore. He had no choice but to go along with her wishes.
âAlright, alright, Ethan said. âRemember to put it away later.â
âOkay,â Olivia replied.
Olivia admired the diamond ring on her finger. As she lifted her head, she saw a Hosxen store.
She said endearingly again. âEthan, I want to buy a handbag
âHuh?â Ethan said.
When Ethan saw that it was a Hosxen store, he was overwhelmed. He thought, I used my pocket money to buy the diamond ring earlier. Thatâs huge spending. If 1 buy another bag, I wonât have any money left to spend freely this month. More importantly, if my mom finds out that I spend money again to buy stuff for Olivia, sheâll definitely say Iâm showing off.
âEthan, buy a handbag for your wife,â Olivia said. âIâve been carrying the previous one for a long time. Because you gave it to me, I couldnât bear to switch it to another one. In the end, people say Iâve got only one handbagâ¦
Oliviaâs tone carried a hint of grievance.
âEthan, please?â Olivia said.
Under Oliviaâs persistent persuasion, Ethan reluctantly agreed.
As soon as the two of them entered the Hossen store, a sales assistant came forward to attend to them, saying, âIâm sorry, but almost all the goods in the store have been purchased. Are you sure you still want to come in and browse?â
Olivia glanced at the empty shelves with a somewhat sour expression, thinking. It seems that I canât buy the style of handbag I want todayâ
Ethan, on the other hand, felt a sense of relief. He said hypocritically, âOlivia, look, thereâs hardly anything to choose from. Why donât we come again next time?â
Olivia did not want to leave just like that. She then tightened her grip on Ethan and said, âItâs fine. Iâll take a look around.â
Ethan was left speechless.
Even the sales assistant could tell that Ethan was reluctant. She thought, Judging from their attire, they probably came from well-off families. Buying a Hosxen bag shouldnât be difficult for them. But the guy looks very unwilling. Is it because he is stingy? Iâve just seen Mr. Jacksonâs generosity, and now that Iâm looking at these two, itâs like night and day!â
âHurry up and choose then, Ethan said impatiently.
