Chapter 347: Snatching for the Sake of It
Cheyenne’s expression was sullen, and she didn’t want to speak to this woman who harbored great animosity against her. Instead, she said coldly, “I have sothing to do now. Let’s talk so other ti!”
With that, she took Lucas’s hand and tried to walk away from Rachelle.
But Rachelle exclaid loudly as if she had just noticed that Cheyenne was holding Lucas’s hand. “Cheyenne Carter, who is this man? He’s dressed in such shoddy clothes. Surely he’s not your husband, right? Is he...”
She deliberately chose not to finish her sentence, but this left a lot more to the imagination.
All of a sudden, several people looked at Lucas, and the gossipy ones even began speculating and making guesses about Cheyenne’s relationship with Lucas. They naturally imagined countless erotic scenes.
Cheyenne was getting a little furious, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Lucas’s hand while saying with great determination, “He’s my husband!”
“Huh? So he’s really that lowly chauffeur embroiled in that hotel scandal with you six years ago... Is that so?”
Rachelle pretended to cover her mouth in surprise and said loudly, “Doesn’t that an that you’ve already been married for several years? Why does he still wear such shabby clothes? I almost thought that he was a servant or chauffeur of your family!
“Ah, I almost forgot again. I heard that the Carters have declined and almost went bankrupt a while ago. I reckon you can no longer afford to hire a chauffeur or servants, huh?! In that case, it seems the two of you are quite compatible with each other!”
Rachelle covered her mouth while giggling.
The smile she was constantly wearing on her face made it hard to imagine that she would make such derogative and sarcastic remarks.
After saying all of this, Rachelle tried to rub it in further, as if she hadn’t upset Cheyenne enough. She leaned against the man whose arm she was holding and acted all chummy and loving with him. She said flauntingly, “Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is my fiancé, Daniel Devine. Despite being so young, he’s already beco a business manager of the Feather Corporation, and he draws a six-figure annual salary!”
Rachelle looked extrely proud and conceited, as if she had found an impressive trophy husband.
Moreover, the man nad Daniel Devine raised his chin with a great sense of superiority.
“Heh.” Lucas couldn’t help chuckling when he saw this.
He just chuckled a little because her words amused him. But in Daniel’s opinion, Lucas was mocking him.
Daniel lost his temper and pointed at Lucas. “Punk, what are you laughing at?”
Lucas didn’t want to bother with the two of them at first because they were just dimwits in his opinion. But even the most good-tempered person wouldn’t be able to tolerate soone pointing a finger and insulting them in the face. Moreover, Lucas wasn’t a good-tempered person to begin with.
Seeing tension begin to build up between the two, Cheyenne pinched Lucas’s hand gently and tried to make peace because she didn’t want the matter to blow up further, as that would reflect badly on all of them. “Forget it. Let’s not bother with such people. Don’t let them affect your mood.”
Lucas always respected Cheyenne’s opinion. So after hearing what she said and recalling that she had openly declared that he was her husband when she stood up for him just now, he imdiately felt that nothing could affect his pleasant mood.
This was the first ti that Cheyenne had openly said that he was her husband and the first ti they were on a proper date with each other. So Lucas didn’t want such awful things to ruin both his and Cheyenne’s mood.
After glancing at Rachelle and her fiancé coldly, Lucas said to Cheyenne, “Let’s go and look at so clothes.”
Then he held onto Cheyenne’s hand and walked toward the display window they were looking at just now.
As soon as the two of them reached the window, a sales assistant in a black uniform with graceful mannerisms walked toward them and greeted them politely.
“Welco to Ernegildo Zegna. Is there anything you’ve set your sights on? You may try so of them on.”
Cheyenne pointed at the dark gray trench coat she had just seen from the display window outside. “I’d like to have my husband try on this coat. Please take it down for .”
Perhaps because she had already called Lucas her husband just now, she could do it with great ease this ti. Lucas couldn’t help taking a few more glances at her with a tender gaze.
But after hearing Cheyenne’s request, the sales assistant seed to be put in a spot. “I’m really sorry, but this is an haute couture piece, and it’s the one and only piece created. We can’t allow anyone to try it on.”
“Oh, I see.” Cheyenne looked at the trench coat a few more tis regretfully.
She had taken a liking to the trench coat at first glance when she saw it through the display window from outside the store. She felt that it would definitely suit Lucas well and make him look dashing. Yet she was now told that he couldn’t try it...
“In that case, please wrap it up. I’m taking it.” After so thought, Cheyenne decided to buy the trench coat without getting Lucas to try it on simply because she felt that Lucas would look especially good in it. Besides, he had a standard figure that would fit most clothes, so she wasn’t afraid that the coat would be ill-fitting.
Cheyenne took out her credit card from her purse and handed it to the sales assistant decisively.
“Alright! I’ll wrap it up for you right away!” The sales assistant was so excited that her voice beca a little high-pitched. Although the trench coat indeed had a particularly beautiful design, its price was staggeringly exorbitant, so many people were deterred by its price tag. Now that it had finally been sold, she could get a considerable sales commission.
Just when the sales assistant tiptoed to take the beautiful trench coat off the plastic mannequin, soone interjected, “Wait a minute! We’ll take this trench coat!”
Rachelle and Daniel suddenly squeezed their way through to stand in front of Lucas and Cheyenne and commanded the sales assistant.
The sales assistant imdiately seed conflicted. She dawdled and said hesitantly, “I’m sorry, but this is an haute couture piece and the one and only one that has ever been created. It has already been bought by this mister and lady over here. Would you like to see other designs?”
Rachelle imdiately rolled her eyes and said with displeasure, “Who bought it? They haven’t paid for it, have they?”
Daniel chid in, “Exactly. They haven’t paid for it yet, so they haven’t bought it!”
Cheyenne was so furious that she turned pale. Rachelle George is clearly vying with on purpose!
She had already taken a fancy to this trench coat when she was looking at it earlier and had already decided to buy it. Yet Rachelle popped up out of nowhere and suddenly intervened by claiming that she wanted it too. She was obviously vying with Cheyenne for it.
Besides, the trench coat was long and would look better on tall n taller than 1.8 ters like Lucas. But Daniel seed to be only slightly taller than 1.7 ters. The trench coat would be touching the ground and look awful on him.
Rachelle was clearly vying with Cheyenne for the sake of it and obviously trying to anger her!
