“oh what dollar man are you talking about?”
“you owe me 500 dollars”
“I know, I gave you my calling card, you didn’t even care to drop any call so I thought you don’t need it”
The man crossed his arms in his chest too.
“excuse me?it’s your responsibility to pay me!”
Michaella was pissed now more than she was earlier.
“well how can I ever do that if I don’t have your contacts?”
Michaella stopped, s**t! She realized he was right. How can he call her if she didn’t give him any contact details?
“and you didn’t even care to come back to the museum?”
“why would I? I’m a busy man!that’s why I gave you my card so I won’t hassle myself finding you”
“fine! Pay me now! I need my money!”
“you mean you need my money?”
“whatever! I need it now”
“I don’t have cash, if you want you can get it in the parking lot, I left my cash in my car”
“parking lot?”
“if you don’t want then just call me in my calling card”
“no! I am getting it now!”
“good!miss can I have it now?”
He said as he turned to get the package from the saleslady. He bought something.
“what is it?”
Michaella asked as she was looking at the small paper bag where the package was in.
“none of your business”
He said with a strict blank face. They were walking in the lobby going to the parking lot where he said his cash was.
“hmmm you know what, if you’re giving a ring to your girlfriend just for a weekly gift, she wouldn’t appreciate your engagement ring the moment you give it”
“why do you think so?”
“cause the excitement was already felt this week, why would she feel differently when those are the same, rings given on different time”
“hmmm is that so?what do you think should I give her instead”
“you should give her cleaning gloves so she can take care of her hands and the time you give her your engagement ring, it will fit and blend beautifully”
“hahahaha”
The man laughed as if his strict self was taken away by some theft ghost.
“hahaha I didn’t know you know how to laugh”
Michaella laughed too, it seems like she was just carried away by this man’s contagious gesture. And oh before she forgets, she asked him
“what’s your name by the way?”
“you didn’t even care to read what’s on the card huh? Weird! I am Rex by the way”
“I’m Michaella, you can call me Mix”
“nice to meet you Mix”
“nice to meet you too Rex”
“wait!”
Rex took his hand after shaking hands with Michaella when he noticed his phone vibrating from his pocket. He went a bit far and answered the call.
“hi babe!where are you?..Oh-uh…I see…okay! I’ll see you later, I have something for you...secret…what did you say? You mean rubber gloves? Hahaha nothing! Okay wish granted,love you bye!”
And he walked back to Michaella now standing beside his Ferrari car.
“gf?”
“yep”
“don’t tell me that’s a ring?”
“it is hahaha”
“don’t tell me you’re giving her that?”
“no hahaha she asked for something else”
“like what?”
“rubber gloves hahahaha”
“oh hahaha I really hate to say this but I told you so!”
Rex opened the car and looked for his wallet but it seems like his wallet was left in his pad.
“oh my wallet isn’t here”
“what?how? I mean its your wallet, how can you misplace it?”
“I think I left it at home”
“and I can’t go to your house, that’s not even possible so don’t expect me to come with you”
“what can I do?I don’t usually bring cash”
“you bought something, you can’t just buy without giving out money right? Or maybe you’re trying to cheat on me! Because you can’t afford to pay me 500dollars!”
Michaella is angry now, she crossed her arms in her chest with a face saying she is not negotiating anymore and he has to pay her now.
“then maybe this time you should call me in my calling card”
“excuse me? No!”
Rex was pissed too, they both ended up shouting at each other so he went inside his car and started the engine.
“hey!!!no!!!you can’t just leave like that”
She put herself in front of his car leaving him with no choice but to stop and not move the car or else she will be bumped.
“what do you want?”
He opened the car window.
“pay me!”
“I don’t have cash, call me!”
“no!I want it now!”
He pressed the horn and it produced a loud sound as expected so Michaella raised her two hands.
“fine fine fine!give me your receipt”
“what receipt?”
“the one with the 50% discount coupon”
“why?”
“just give it to me and wait here”
Michaella run to the entrance door as soon as Rex handed out the receipt from the car window.
“bestie!”
Michaella shouted.
“bestie your face!”
Andy whispered and Michaella got it. During work, Mix is a customer and Andy is a saleslady.
“oh sorry! I can buy it now!”
Michaella waved the receipt in the air.
“what’s that?”
“VIP receipt?”
“hahaha you’re kidding!how can you get a VIP when you can’t even afford a luggage worth just 1/8 of the VIP’s minimum purchase?”
“well???”
Michaella was proud, this must be how rich people feels, she said to herself.
“seriously?”
“yeah! Check it for yourself! In fact it says 50% discount so I can buy the luggage now with 50% less”
“can I see”
Andy was skeptical from the thought so she checked it out first.
“omg!”
That was all she said when she saw the amount paid stated in the receipt.
“twenty thousand dollars?what the f*** Michaella?”
“re-really?”
Michaella looked at the receipt too with all the facial expressions of a shock person.
“who is the owner of this receipt?did you steal it?”
“excuse me?stealing is not included in my part time job list”
“so who owns this?”
“a friend”
“now give me my favorite luggage”
Michaella was smiling excitedly.
“I can’t unless you tell me where did you get this”
“come here!”
Michaella dragged Andy to the jewelry section where Rex bought the ring and to the same saleslady.
“hey miss!a man came here bought a ring, this is his receipt right?you remember I was with him?”
Michaella said directly to the saleslady.
“yes madam, were you a couple? You looked like you’re in a lover’s quarrel hehehe”
The saleslady even giggles from the thought.
“no we’re not!let’s go”
And Michaella dragged Andy again back to her position.
“so?”
Michaella waved the receipt again and Andy took it from the air with eyebrows lifted with doubt and suspicion.
“hahaha faster miss!I’m excited!”
Michaella laughed like there’s no tomorrow.
REX POV…
"where did that girl go?hmmm so childish but....
cute!"
Rex was even smiling from the thought.
"hey Rex, she is not your type"
He snapped his face with his own hand.
"but how did she come up with cleaning gloves?"
"is she always cleaning like the ordinary girls from poor family?"
"but her skin looks delicate and pampered"
"ugh!what am I thinking?"
"but she is funny and...
cute"
