"I like this, babe! Can I get it?" Cecilia asked.
"Ok course. You’re going to wear this on our wedding day. It's about 50 million bucks, and it’s all worth it so long as you like it. Just buy!"
Kelly grinned.
"Oh, this necklace is so pretty. It's a little expensive. About 100 million bucks!"
Soon enough, Cecilia had her eyes set upon a gorgeous necklace. It was expensive, even compared to the other items in the shop.
"Hah. It’s not expensive at all. It's nothing. This necklace looks good. You'll definitely b e the brightest star on the wedding day while wearing this!"
Kelly laughed.
After a while, they chose quite a few pieces of jewelry. The bill totaled to over 300 million bucks.
They paid for the jewelry, then they noticed that Fane still had not bought anything. Cecilia smiled. "What's wrong? You're too shy to choose anything? Are you scared that we’ll laugh at you, saying that it’s too cheap? Didn't you just win 900 million bucks from my man here? You should have quite a bit of money on you now. Furthermore, you have your own money, so you should have about 2 billion : n total. Yet you don’t dare to buy anything too expensive?"
Kelly went along with her and said, "Heh, don't forget, my dear Cecilia, that he just boasted about throwing a birthday party that would rock the entire city. If he buys all this and spends hundreds of millions, h e won't have much left. He's spending a lot of money already—reserving the hotel, stuff like that. That's why he's just buying all these jewelry as a mere token!"
Cecilia pretended a look of realization. "Oh, that's right! I almost forgot. He won't even b e able to afford the banquet if he isn't careful with his money. Or he won't be able to afford a lavish meal. He'll be a truly laughing stock then!"
She paused here before continuing leisurely, "Besides, no one pays that much attention to jewelry. So it's enough to simply buy something that's worth ten or twenty thousand!"
