Stephanie lounged in a high–end jewelry store, casually flipping through destay, as if time dufer mater

The saleswoman’s eyes darted in the designer bags weathered around her–each one from the user reclusive brands in the

mall

It didn’t take long for the woman to realize that Stephwie was no ormary shopper.

Her anitude alñted from pedite to overly sweet in an instant

Clearing her throat, she approached Stephanie. “Miss Giovanni, this piece just came in today. It’s the only one like it in Leng Harbor Would you like to try it on?”

Stephanie waved her hand dismissively. “Just pack it up”

The saleswoman practically beamed, eager to please. “Of course. And what about this one?

Stephanie barely looked up before lazily pointing. “Alright, that one, this one, and that one. Pack them all up too.

Each piece she pointed to was one of the priciest items in the store.

The saleswoman’s jaw nearly dropped, but she kept smiling. “Got it, Miss Giovanni. Anything else? I’ll wrap it all up for you.”

It was clear that Stephanie was about to drain the store’s entire inventory.

Two hours later, her total came to a jaw–dropping five million–mostly spent on jewelry and skincare products.

Just after her transaction, her credit card was frozen.

Chris called over, through someone else’s phone. When Stephanie picked up, his voice came through clear and sharp. “Are you shopping?”

“Yeah. Did you freeze my card?” Stephanie answered coolly, as if she didn’t care in the slightest.

Chris froze, his expression hardening.

Chris ground his teeth, struggling to stay calm. He knew if he didn’t freeze her card, she wouldn’t stop shopping.

“Do you have any idea how much you’ve spent?” His voice was tight, barely steady.

Stephanie shrugged, her tone light. “I haven’t really bought that much. How much did I spend?”

Technically, she wasn’t lying. She honestly didn’t think she’d bought that much.

But hearing her say it pushed Chris to the brink.

Hadn’t bought much? She’d spent over five million!

Chris let out a bitter laugh, his voice sharp with rage. “So if you didn’t buy much, how much would you spend? A billion?”

Stephanie’s response was shockingly nonchalant. “Do you think I’m spending too much? You said this was compensation for me. Now it seems like you’re not being very sincere.”

“Compensation?” Chris froze, taken aback.

Stephanie kept her voice sweet and innocent, like a child explaining why she broke something. “Isn’t it? You and I had a big fight, and I thought you felt guilty. I thought this card was your way of making it up to me.”
