Chapter 10 Why Are You Delighted?
"3999 Global Dollars? So expensive?"
Roland could not help but exclaim in shock once he saw the price of the Jolex Yatch-Master watch.
This was the first time he had seen an item so expensive that it could literally buy a small house no problem.
Perhaps, it was due to his previous frugal and thrifty mentality, even though he already had hundreds of thousands of Global Dollars inside the bank, he still hesitated whether he should buy such an expensive watch.
On the other hand, when the male employee heard his surprised voice, he could not help but put on a smile full of ridicule.
Went forward in front of Roland as he did with a tone full of ridicule, "Ignorant. Of course it's expensive. Jolex is one of the top luxurious watch brands in the world, do you think it would be cheap? "
"And besides. As a bodyguard, you're already lucky enough that Miss Stacey is willing to buy you a luxurious watch. How dare you take advantage of her kindness and choose one of the top 5 watches in the store?"
Saying that, the male employee was pleased with himself. He thought that he had already won Miss Stacey's favor for preventing this bodyguard from taking advantage of her kindness.
At the same time, he was even more sure that Miss Stacey indeed has a rich family. Or else, how could she afford to treat her bodyguard a luxurious watch?
As for the thought of Roland being able to pay for the watch himself, it never crossed his mind at all. At this point of time, he was already a hundred percent sure that Roland, who was dressed in simple clothes, was a bodyguard and nothing less.
On the other hand, hearing the male employee's baseless claims, Stacey could not help but put up a frown. At this time, she was already displeased by this employee's attitude. However, Roland had not said anything so she decided not to comment about it.
On the other hand, she was also having small doubts about Roland's identity being a person with a mysterious background.
'Was the 1000 Global Dollars bill actually the only thing he has? Was my assumption about him wrong?' She was having such thoughts as a disappointed feeling arose inside her heart.
She genuinely thought that she had already found the person she was hoping to meet the most. However it turns out that it was actually just a false alarm?
She then recalled that she was the one who recommended the watch, and ultimately led Roland to this embarrassing situation, she decided to try and save him from the situation.
However, just as she was about to speak up for him, she was suddenly interrupted by Roland.
"Huh? Isn't it just 3999 Global Dollars?"
"Arrogant. What do you mean 'just', I bet you can't even afford the cheaper watch in here. Just be grateful that someone is buying you one," the male employee rebuked after hearing Roland's arrogant words.
In his opinion, it was already lucky for him to have Miss Stacey buy him something. And yet the guy even chose the Jolex Yatch-Master. Even if it was Miss Stacey herself who recommended it, as a good bodyguard, he should have declined the offer and opted for a more cheap watch.
Upon hearing that, instead of being irritated like before, Roland merely smiled a mysterious smile as he said with great ambiguity, "And who said that she is going to pay for me?"
"Then who's going to pay? You?" The male employee was taken aback.
He observed Roland again and after seeing his lousy get up, he heaves a sigh of relief before saying, "You can't even afford branded clothing, how can you afford the Jolex Yatch-Master? It's free to dream but there should be a limit to your dreams, alright?"
"And who said I could not afford this watch?" Roland replied, still beaming the same smile.
And even before the male employee could reply again, Roland had already taken out his newly bought wallet.
He opened the wallet and beamed a terrified expression.
"Oh no! I did not bring any cash."
"Hah, figured that out. Don't use that trick on me, just admit that you don't have the money."
Seeing his terrified expression, the male employee could not help but shout in happiness.
However at the next moment, Roland suddenly pulled out a black item from the wallet with a swift motion.
Clipped between his two fingers, Roland flipped the black atm card a few times like a playing card before he looked at the male employee again.
"Oh no! I did not bring any cash, can you swipe this World's Premium Bank VIP card for me please?"
The male employee: (O_O;)
Stacey: w(°o°)w
At the same time, a system screen flashed in front of Roland's eyes.
Ding!
[You have successfully face-slapped a person: +10 FS Points]
[You have successfully face-slapped a person with one bystander watching: +5 FS Points]
Ding!
[You have successfully face-slapped a person in silence: +10 FS Points]
Seeing two simultaneous screens appear at the same time, Roland could not help but be shocked.
'Another one was face-slapped? Who?' He thought as he looked around, searching for the second person.
However the only person inside this shop was the three of them as well as the other employees in the shop. However, it should not be the other employees as they were far away and would not have heard of their conversation just now.
'Don't tell me,' Roland hurriedly turned his gaze towards Stacey.
At that moment, he confirmed that it was indeed her who got face-slapped silently.
The reason why he was sure? Because her face was so red at this moment that it looked like she was literally slapped in the face.
However, Roland could not help but be confused at the next second.
With a red face, she actually donned a delighted smile?
'Huh? Why are you delighted? Oi, oi! Shouldn't you be embarrassed instead?'
