Chapter 254

Julian packed all day in the shop and discussed with the partners about the fruit cultivation for the new season. It was already evening when they finished work.

The fruit shop was usually open until past eight in the evening, but today, Julian specially closed early and went home.

At this moment, the street lights had just been turned on. The lights on both sides. of the road were strung into a long line. It was rush hour, and the traffic on the crowded road was very slow.

Julian was worried about something and was a little anxious. After driving for a few feet, he realized that a car had broken down and was parked by the side of the road.

Cars passed by from time to time, but it was obvious that no tow truck had come yet. When he got closer, he saw the driver get out of the car and was surprised to find that the owner looked a little familiar. “Hurry up and come over. I’ve been waiting for a long time!”

It was Katherine’s car that broke down. Although she had already called for help, the traffic was too congested and the help was still on the way. At this moment, the horn was constantly honking. She was a little anxious and could only keep urging the other party to hurry over.

The few male drivers who were blocked in the back cursed impatiently, saying that Katherine was a pain in the ass.

When Katherine heard that, her pretty face was instantly enraged. She stopped calling and shouted angrily, “Who was the one who cursed me out? I dare you to come forward!”

At this moment, no one dared to respond, but many drivers still sized her up as if they were watching a joke. They kept honking their horns, mocking her.

Katherine had never been treated this way in her life. Just as she was about to cry from anger, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. She thought that it was a driver who had come to criticize her. Just as she was about to curse, she looked up and saw the other party’s appearance. She was stunned. “Julian?”

“Hi.” Julian glanced at her pink car and went straight to the point. “Did it break down?”

“Yes… it broke down…” Just as Katherine was wondering why she met Julian there, he went straight back to her car. He took a toolbox and a wrench and went straight to the front of her car to check roughly.

Julian said, “This time is basically the rush hour. It’ll probably take an hour for your help to rush over! It’s a small problem. If you don’t mind, I’ll help you fix it.”

Katherine was instantly overjoyed. “I don’t mind, of course I don’t mind. Thank you so much, Julian!”

Julian.nodded and lowered his head to fiddle with it. He was wearing a light- colored coat. In order not to dirty it, he took off his coat and only wore two thin clothes. He became dirty from the repair. Fortunately, it was not a big problem. After ten minutes, he gestured for her to start the car. When they heard the familiar sound of the motor, both of them heaved a sigh of relief.

“It’s fixed. You should go back now!” Julian said as he helped her put down the hood of the car. Then, he picked up his toolbox and returned to his truck.

Julian, thank you for fixing my car.” Katherine was grateful and embarrassed. She was surprised that Julian didn’t think it was a big deal to fix her problem. She mustered her strength and pulled him back. “There’s one more thing. Last time, I almost jumped off a building. In the end, you saved me. I haven’t thanked you properly for this. If you’re free today, why don’t I treat you to a meal?”

That incident of jumping off a building had already been listed as the most embarrassing incident in Katherine’s life.

Now that she had calmed down, she regretted it so much. She regretted that she would ever think about doing such a thing. Because she was too embarrassed to mention it, she did not thank Julian properly.

Julian shook his head. “No need. It’s not a big deal.”

“But this is a big deal to me. Julian, you saved my life. I have to thank you! If you’re worried that your wife will misunderstand, why don’t you bring her and Aiden over too…” Seeing that Katherine insisted, Julian could only say, “There’s really no need. Miss Santos, you’re Valerie’s friend. It’s only right for me to help you. Besides… it’s actually not convenient today… Today is my wedding anniversary with my wife. I’m going to pick a gift for her. I’ve also booked a spot at a gourmet restaurant to give her a surprise.”

Julian had an honest personality. He was very embarrassed when it came to such

things. Due to his work, his skin was usually tanned. However, it was obvious that he was a little flushed.

Katherine was shocked. “I see. Sorry for disturbing you!”

Julian hesitated for a moment. “If you don’t mind, Miss Santos, can you help me choose a gift? I don’t know much about what women like. I’m worried that I’ll choose something she doesn’t like.”

She said, “Of course!”

It just so happened that there was a big shopping mall not far away. Julian entered the shopping mall and went straight to the jewelry.counter. He chose a flower bracelet among the dazzling array of goods. The reason was very simple. On one hand, Katherine recommended it. On the other hand, he seemed to have seen it in Ashley’s shopping cart online.

Since he wanted to give Ashley a surprise, he naturally had to buy what Ashley liked.

Although he had a few disagreements with Ashley a while ago, it was hard for Ashley to stay at home and take care of the child. Julian still wanted to have a peaceful life with her.

“3,600 dollars? It’s so expensive. Is there any discount?” The price of a thin little bracelet was completely beyond Julian’s expectations.

Seeing that his clothes were dirty, the salesperson could not help but be disrespectful. “Sir, this is a luxury goods store. We don’t negotiate prices! The chain in your hand is already our basic model. If you’re not satisfied, you can go and take a look at the cheaper gold and silver jewelry.”

Julian looked a little embarrassed. He remembered that his business was doing well this month. It was not impossible to be extravagant once in a while. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll take this!”

The salesperson did not expect this poor guy to really buy it. At the thought of earning more profits, the salesperson’s expression changed instantly. In the blink of an eye, she put on a bright smile. “Alright, sir. I’ll wrap it up for you now.”

Seeing how pretentious she was, Katherine was furious. She directly stopped Julian. “Wait, Julian, don’t be in a hurry to pay. I have something to say to her.”

After saying that, she dragged the salesperson to a corner not far away. The salesperson was very unhappy. “Miss, didn’t I say just now that we don’t bargain? Even if you pull me here, I won’t lower the price. Our luxury goods store isn’t a place to beg for food. If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it…”

Katherine interrupted, “Since you can’t recognize me, call your manager over!”

Just as the salesperson was about to continue mocking her, she was stunned when she heard Katherine’s words. “You… Who are you? Why should I know you?”

Katherine sneered. “Listen carefully. My name is Katherine Santos. Have you heard of Louis Santos and the Santos Group?”

She could not tolerate being looked down upon by the staff of stores owned by her family.
