Amelia was stunned. So was Dr. Scarlett, Huxton and the salesgirl.
"Hurry up." When Patrick saw the salesgirl's shocked expression, he kept tapping on the counter with his index finger with his face showing, "If you don't do it now, I'll just grab them from you."
"Okay, Mr. Hopper." The salesgirl who just came back to her sense envied Amelia secretly. She quickly asked her colleagues to help pack all the goods in the display shelves.
Amelia felt her head was throbbing. She pulled Patrick's sleeve and whispered, "You buy too much! They will be expired if I can't finish them!"
Patrick replied, "Just throw them away once they expired."
Amelia bit her lips thinking that she would not throw them away. "Can I give the extras to other people?"
Patrick said in a deep voice, "You can give them to anyone you want as long as they're not men."
Amelia raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "Then I'll thank you on behalf of my friends first."
When they were having conversations, the salesgirl had wrapped all the things that Patrick wanted into delicate boxes one after another. When these boxes were stacked up, it was almost half the height of a man.
Patrick ordered, "Tell the courier to deliver these to the Land of Fragrance."
The sales girls said in an orderly manner, "Okay, Mr. Hopper. Have a nice day, Mr. Hopper."
They did not mention anything about the payment at all. Patrick was the shop's owner. Wasn't it a joke to ask him to pay?
Then, Amelia went to a few more counters. However she knew Patrick would ask her to buy all if she wanted something so she was very cautious this time around. She did not look at any item for too long.
Meanwhile, Dr. Scarlett stopped in front of a well decorated shop and said, "Nail salon! Ms. Amelia. Look! There's a nail salon here!"
Amelia looked at Dr. Scarlett's nails. All of her fingernails were nicely trimmed without any decoration. She asked confusedly, "Are you interested in manicure?"
Dr. Scarlett rubbed the tip of her nails and said with regret, "Well, I have always wanted to have manicure. However, the rule of working in a hospital is that we must keep our nails clean and tidy. So I could only take a look at these nail salon at times." "Aren't you on leave now? Then you can definitely have it," Amelia said.
"Aren't you afraid that my nail polish would suddenly drop into your medicine when I brew them?" Dr. Scarlett smiled.
"Many women have nail polish these days. So they don't need to do household chores when they return home?" Amelia looked at the floral pattern pasted on the glass window and said with interest, "I want to have manicure as well!"
"Great!" When Dr. Scarlett heard that Amelia wanted to do manicure, she was more convinced to have it as well.
When they were about to step into the nail salon, Amelia's hand was suddenly being grabbed from behind.
Amelia looked behind and saw that it was Patrick who pulled her.
He said, "You're not allowed to go!"
She was surprised. "Why?"
"I don't like you having your nails polished." Patrick thought that her hands were very beautiful so there was no reason to do manicure.
"You're so old-fashioned." Amelia mistakenly thought that he did not want her to dress up to look fashion so she could not help but blurted out these
words.
"Who do you mean?" Patrick who was just thirty years old was quite sensitive to this word.
Amelia continued, "You! Old-fashioned!"
Patrick was extremely angry but he smiled and said, "Fine. You really want to get your nails done? Then go and do it. I'll go to have tattoo!"
"Wait a minute!" When Amelia saw him turned and left, she grabbed his hand immediately and asked nervously, "What tattoo are you going to have?"
