Harrison casually said, "Just ignore him."
As the two Bentleys drove off, Roxanne didn't give it a second thought. "Let's get in the car."
She popped open the trunk for Harrison to load their luggage. Considering he might be tired from an
overnight flight, she took the initiative to get behind the wheel to drive away from the airport. But
Harrison didn't feel tired from the plane ride at all. It was his luxurious double-decker plane, equipped
with a gym and a lounge. He had a good sleep on the plane and didn't feel fatigued at all.
Once in the car, Roxanne asked concernedly, "Harrison, you've been on the plane for over ten hours,
you must not have slept well last night. You should rest, I'll wake you up when we get home."
"I'm not tired, it's fine."
Harrison noticed that Roxanne was driving a bit fast. He couldn't help but remind her, "You ride your
bike like a maniac, and now you're driving like one? Be careful, slow down."
"Don't worry, I've been driving for eight years, I won't drive us into a ditch."
Harrison kept a wary eye on the road conditions.
Roxanne laughed. "What's the matter, are you scared of my driving?"
"Never seen a girl drive so recklessly before." Harrison was actually worried about her safety, as he
couldn't always be there to remind her.
"I thought you'd be tired from the journey, wanted to get you home to rest quicker. Alright, alright, I'll
slow down." She decreased the speed.
Harrison added, "Whether you're riding your bike or driving, slow down. Be careful, don't drive so fast."
"Got it." Roxanne smiled.
So this is what it felt like to be cared for. Being with someone really did have its perks. At least,
someone cared for her.
Roxanne was slowly beginning to enjoy the feeling of being cared for. As she drove, she casually
asked, "Harrison, does your dad like wearing rings?"
"Hmm..." Harrison frowned. His father had deliberately taken off his expensive ring to prevent Roxanne
from noticing. And she still noticed?
He asked, "How did you know?"
"I saw the mark of a ring on your dad's hand, he must have been wearing it before, right?"
"Yeah." Harrison lied. "That ring was a gift from me to my dad. But since my business failed and I
needed money urgently, he sold the ring."
"Really? Your dad is so worried about you, he even sold his ring. Harrison, since your dad likes to wear
rings, why don't we buy him a new one for his birthday?"
That night, after dinner, Roxanne insisted on taking Harrison to the mall. They arrived at a famous
jewelry store.
Harrison walked into the store and realized. This was his store?
The Rodriguez Group had so many businesses, that he never personally checked the smaller
branches. He usually sat in the company's big office building, reading the financial reports of various
businesses. Since there were professionals handling other tasks, he didn’t need to personally deal with
smaller branches. Moreover, he could understand the business situation through reports, so there was
no need to go to the store personally.
Today, he was visiting his own store with his wife. Since they were here, he might as well have taken a
look.
As Roxanne was picking out gold, Harrison observed the business in the store. The staff were very
enthusiastic, the store was neatly arranged, overall it performed quite well. There was nothing that he
found unsatisfactory.
He made a call to the head office. Of course, he didn't call for business, but for his wife's impending
gold purchase. As a husband, he couldn't let his wife buy gold in his own store, and have to pay for it
herself, right?
When the salesperson in the store received a call from the head office, they became immediately
nervous upon learning that the big boss of the group was visiting the branch. But the head office
informed them that the wife still didn’t know the boss' identity.
She couldn’t know. So, the salesperson became even more cautious.
This salesperson was a woman in her thirties wearing glasses and standard professional attire. She
approached Harrison, standing straight, her hands crossed at her abdomen, bowing respectfully.
"Welcome to our store..."
"Don't be so nervous, your boss told you my request, right?" Harrison glanced at Roxanne, who was
busy picking out gold and reminded her without hesitation.
"Yes, I remember. I won't reveal your identity."
"Good."
"I understand."
The female salesperson immediately changed her tone, treating him as a regular customer. "Sir, what
kind of gold jewelry do you need? I'd be happy to show some to you."
Harrison was also good at playing along. He walked over to Roxanne and calmly said, "Just browsing."
Roxanne was looking at some rings suitable for the elderly, completely unaware that she was in a
Rodriguez Group store. She also didn't know how the others were watching her, the wife of the boss,
with such cautious and envious eyes.
She picked up a ring. "Harrison, do you think if your dad wears this ring, he'll look rich?"
Without hesitation, Harrison answered, "It looks a bit old-fashioned."
Roxanne said, "Not at all, it's heavy and looks classy. If he wears it around the village, people will Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
definitely ask your dad who bought it."
Harrison didn't answer.
Roxanne continued, "If Dad says it's from his son, he'll definitely feel very proud, don't you think?"
Harrison didn't continue the discussion with Roxanne, the ring she chose was indeed heavy, but it
looked really old-fashioned, really outdated. This kind of gold also didn’t suit an old man's
temperament.
He just said, "Whatever you decide is fine, as long as you picked it, Dad will definitely like it."
Roxanne asked, "How much is this ring?"
The female salesperson gave the price. A bit expensive. But Roxanne firmly said, "I'll take it."
When paying, the female salesperson invited Roxanne to participate in a raffle.
Roxanne asked, "What's the benefit of the raffle?"
"It's a promotion in our store, you can get a discount, and if you win the grand prize, it's even free."
Well, even if she couldn't win the grand prize for free, it's still worth it if she could get a discount.
So, Roxanne entered the lottery.
She opened the letter. [Congratulations! You've won the grand prize for free.]
What the hell? The ring was free?
Roxanne could hardly believe it. She still had some doubts until she really didn't pay a dime and took
the ring away. She really won the free prize.
"How is this store's promotion so good?"
Harrison replied, “It's not about the store. You are just really lucky."
"Harrison, did I just walk away with a gold ring without spending a penny? I feel my luck has been
getting better since I married you. First, the unfinished property we bought was suddenly taken over by
a big developer, and it's ready now. Then, I got the ring for free.
"Harrison, you are my lucky charm."
Roxanne stood excitedly in front of Harrison, stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his neck,
and hugged him.
