Chapter 35
The store manager guessed that the so-called future son-in-law might be the one who suddenly put their store in an emergency.
So, he became more respectful and said, "Mrs. Bishop, there are several other stores of our company in the mall, with all kinds of bags and jewelry. Would you like to go shopping in all of them?" Stephanie's eyes lit up and said, "Mom, shall we go take a look?"
Before Marilyn could speak, she was already taken by Stephanie and the store manager to other stores to shop.
Most of the things they chose were for Marilyn. Finally, in a shoe store, Stephanie chose a pair of shoes and asked them to pack it up. The store manager looked at her with a strange expression and said, "Ms. Bishop, this style is popular with young people, right?"
"Yeah, I picked it for myself."
The store manager couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, Ms. Bishop, I just received a notice from the management that the store's lifetime free service is tailored exclusively for your mother." Just received?
This must be Sebastian's temporary order after things had settled down. Did the guy think she was taking advantage of him?
Stephanie was speechless.
"So, you mean, if I want it, I have to pay, right?"
"Yes, that's right, Ms. Bishop."
Stephanie waved her hand and was about to say she'd pay for it herself!
But she hesitated and asked, "How much was this pair of shoes again?"
The store manager smiled, "Ms. Bishop, this pair is a limited edition summer style and there are only ten pairs worldwide. The price is 160,000, but if it's for you, we can give you an internal discount and it'll be 120,000."
As expected, good-looking things were always expensive.
Stephanie smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Okay, I got it. Just help my mom pick, I don't need this."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Sure, Ms. Bishop."
Stephanie reluctantly glanced at the high heels and forced herself to look away.
It was just a pair of shoes. She would buy them when she had money later.
The store manager saw her reluctant expression and couldn't help but find it funny.
Soon, the news that Stephanie reluctantly gave up on the pair of shoes reached Sebastian's ears.
Sebastian, who had just finished a meeting, felt inexplicably amused. He asked someone to buy those shoes at the original price and sent them to the company. The next time Stephanie came, he would display them for her to envy.
But when the shoes were delivered, Sebastian felt that his approach was a bit childish.
Martin got the shoes and brought the shoebox into the president's office. He took a look at it and said with a smile, "Is this a gift for Ms. Bishop?" "No, just put the stuff down and get out!"
...
In the hospital room, the mother and daughter duo returned with their hands full.
As soon as Stephanie came back, she asked the doctor to check her mother's body, fearing that the afternoon's shopping would tire her out.
The doctor said that the disease
wasn't a big problem, as long as the patient maintained a good mood, the condition wouldn't worsen. Once
they found a suitable kidney sce
and the surgery was successful, she could live like normal people.
After that, Stephanie was relieved.
As long as her mom was healthy, everything would be alright! In this world, her mom was her only family, and she loved her very much. She would do her best to make her mom live a good life.
"Mom, you rest for a while, I have to go to work soon."
Marilyn frowned and said, "Steph, didn't I tell you not to work at the bar anymore?"
