"What do you mean?" Patrick was serious.
Amelia finally said, "That's... I didn't lie to your grandma! are you happy now!"
Patrick smiled beautifully and said, "Oh, okay."
After that, they walked out of the campus without saying a word. Amelia stood in front of his car and reluctantly said, "I'm going shopping with Florence, and we will meet later. You can go to work now."
Patrick narrowed his eyes slightly. Wasn't it too obvious that she was eager to drive him away?
"Tell me the address and I'll take you a lift."
Amelia did not hesitate. After telling the address, she sat in the passenger seat.
After Patrick put in the car key, he was not in a hurry to drive. Instead, he said, "Come with me to a place."
"Where is it?"
In the phone shop.
The reason why he brought her here was to...
Patrick explained as Amelia had wondered, "I'll compensate you a phone directly, do you mind?"
Amelia felt awkward and said, "My phone is an old model, I'm afraid I can't buy the same one."
It was a small matter that the phone was broken, but his mistrust always nagged at her.
"No one said to buy the same one." According to Patrick's generosity, if he wanted to buy one, he had to buy the best one, of course.
At this time, a smiling salesman came towards them, "Hi, Black Friday is coming soon, recently our counter is doing a buy one get one free activity. Why not take a look?".
"Sounds good." Amelia's soft words made Patrick stop going forward.
The shop salesman led them into the counter and asked them what they wanted to buy.
"I want to buy a smartphone." After a pause, Amelia added, "It's perfect if I don't have to cut my SIM card."
"Okay, wait a minute."
A moment later, the shop salesman placed a few prototypes in front of Amelia and highlighted one of them. "This pink phone is more suitable for you. This brand is doing some activities. If you buy this pink one, we will give you an extra black one, which is just right for this gentleman around you."
Amelia turned over the price tag. It was nearly 800 dollars. She thought, With Patrick's elegant identity and picky character, how could he take a fancy to this 800 bucks phone?"
But it was for her own use, so why think about him?
"I'll take it."
"Okay." The shop salesman turned around and prepared for the bill.
Patrick, who was beside her, suddenly said, "You really need to improve your taste."
Patrick wanted her to look at other phones, maybe there was a better one.
Amelia didn't think so. It didn't matter if the phone was expensive or not, what suited her was what was best.
And she was right. Patrick didn't like this type of phone.
She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Yes, I really don't have a good taste. Otherwise, why would I marry you back then?"
This was obviously a joke, but Patrick had taken it seriously!
