The four-figure price on the receipt had me almost passing out. Precisely speaking, it was five thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Oh my God, it’s just a dress, yet it actually cost nearly six thousand? Is it inlaid with gold or what?

My pay was only seven or eight thousand a month, so my heart clenched at the thought of spending six thousand on a dress.

I looked at Michael in confliction. It wasn’t that I couldn’t afford to buy the dress, but I was really reluctant to spend close to a month’s salary on a dress.

“I didn’t know this dress was actually that expensive…” I muttered lowly as I eyed him sheepishly.

 

Upon glimpsing the smugness in his eyes, I was gripped by the urge to slap myself hard. Argh! Why did I insist on paying him back? I’m simply making trouble for myself!

“Didn’t you say you were going to pay me back for the dress? Well, you can do so now.”

Michael stared at me, his voice brimming with provocation.

 

“Um… can I pay you back in a few days? I don’t have that much money right now.”

It’s a king’s ransom of six thousand! How am I going to get so much money to pay him back now? If it weren’t for the fact that I’ve got no clothes to wear, I’d simply whip it off immediately and return it to him. Then, I wouldn’t have to spend six thousand on a dress!
