Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 279

It was quite the twist of fate when Chris, while on a jewelry store trip to pick out a piece for his young mistress, locked eyes with a sales associate. Chris, a man with a reputation for his many escapades and undeniable charm, had a knack for wanting to woo any beautiful woman he fancied into his bed.

During the visit, he dropped over two hundred grand on a necklace for the young woman he was seeing, impressing her and showcasing his wealth to the store clerk. When the young woman stepped away to the restroom, Chris took the chance to snag the clerk's contact info. That very night, they ended up together.

On Valentine's Day evening, Chris had another meet-up with the saleswoman. In a cozy couple-themed hotel suite, after they were done, Chris casually tossed her a card. "Happy Valentine's Day, darling. Spend it however you like."

She accepted the card with a teasing smile, "Chris, you never really put much thought into gifts. It's always just cash. Today, a guy bought a limited edition Valentine's necklace for $999,000 for his girlfriend at our store. It's so enviable. He must really love her."

Chris chuckled, leaning back against the headboard, lazily puffing on a cigarette, surrounded by smoke. Feeling particularly content, he wasn't fazed by her comment and replied with an unusual calmness, "There's over a hundred grand on that card. Buy whatever you want. It's money that matters, isn't it? Love is overrated."

She nestled her head on his chest, her voice soft and playful, "I was just saying."
