GoodReadLuis called Alison, and she hurried to follow him up.
The night fair was crowded, much more people than Alison had expected, and there were many young couples.
Alison and Luis walked together but kept a distance. They looked a little weird in the crowd.
Alison was aware of it, but soon her eyes were drawn to the various ornaments.
Luis was not interested in those ornaments. But when he saw Alison stop, he stopped too.
Alison especially liked a kitty made of shells.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was afraid of breaking it, so she didn't touch it. She just watched it.
Just as Alison was about to ask how much the kitten cost, the kitten was taken away by a girl.
Alison then had to look at other things. She then found a beautiful music box decorated with conches.
The music box looked quite sturdy, so Alison took it into her hands to look closely.
It was a little heavy.
Alison twisted the switch, and it started to play a piano song.
"Luis, is it pretty?" Luis was replying to a message on his phone. When he heard Alison call his name, he subconsciously looked up at her, and he saw the music box in her hand. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Yes, it is.” The music box was indeed delicate. There was a starfish on the top of the conches.
The price tag was on the bottom of it. When Alison turned it upside down and saw the price, she was shocked.
$385.
'It's so expensive!" Actually, Alison had money. Alexis transferred thousands of dollars to Alison's card every month, but Alison never used it.
Except for tuition, Alison had never spent such a large sum of money in her life.
The girl who had just taken the kitten was also interested in the music box in Alison's hand. Seeing Alison not taking it to the counter, the girl asked, "Do you want it? If you don't want it, I'd like to have a look at it.
"OK. Here you go." Alison hurriedly handed the music box to the girl. The girl looked at the price tag and muttered, "Three hundred dollars. It's not expensive." Alison wasn't sure if the girl was deliberately saying it to her. Then Alison carefully picked up the kitten the girl had just put down.
The kitten was more expensive. It charged over five hundred dollars.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlison felt awkward. Just as she was about to put the kitten down, the girl suddenly exclaimed to her friend, "The kitten is cuter, but this one also looks nice. Should | take them both?" Her friend probably thought they were expensive too. She responded awkwardly," Take them if you like them." The girl made a grunt and reached out and took the kitten right out of Alison's hand. " Excuse me. I'll take it." Alison nodded in embarrassment, "Okay." Luis saw the scene, and he frowned, "Do you like it?" Alison shook her head, "Not particularly. | just wanted to find gifts for Alexa and Blaze." Luis understood. He knew Alison would not buy them for herself.
The girl was obviously trying to piss Alison off. When she saw Luis standing at the door a moment ago, she asked him for his phone number. But Luis pointed at Alison and didn't give her his number. The girl walked away with a scowl. Luis didn't expect that the girl would take it out on Alison.
Luis always defended Alison, "They're just so so. Let's keep looking." Alison nodded her head. She didn't mind it.
Although she thought the music box and the kitten were cute, they were okay to give to Alexa but not so appropriate to give to Blaze.
Alison wandered around the store for a while longer. Finally, she bought a jar of starfish shells.
Luis and Alison then went to other stores. Alison found that the octopus box and the kitten were not so special. In the other stores, they were cheaper.
Alison was glad she didn’t buy them at the first store, otherwise she would have regretted it.
However, the girl who was following Alison and Luis was upset. She had spent almost $ 900, but it turned out that she could have bought two pieces for $300 in another store.
Luis and Alison walked on. Luis bought two coconuts and handed one to Alison. Just then, Alison caught a glimpse of the girl from earlier. She realized that the girl had been following them. "Luis, that girl seems to be following us all the time." v
