Chapter 211
Chapter 211
I calculated the date. Sure enough, Lisa's birthday would be on November 24, which was some day next week.
The days passed so fast. And in the blink of an eye, another year had passed.
I answered with a smile, "No problem. I have money now. Of course, I have to send you a gift."
"OK, deal done"
Lisa and I chatted for a while before we hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but feel a little upset in my heart.
"What should I gift Lisa with?"
I went home, sat in front of the computer, search on Google. Then I heard someone reading behind me, "What kind of gift does a tough woman focusing on her career like?"
I was shocked!
As soon as I turned my head, I saw Patrick, who was dressed in a suit, standing behind me with his back bent as he stared at the screen closely.
"Who's going to have a birthday celebration?" Patrick straightened up, undid his necktie, and asked me.
"Lisa." I didn't intend to hide anything from him. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"It turns out that it is she..." Patrick was silent for a while before saying, "Up to you. If you need to go out to buy something, I will accompany you."
I searched online for a long time, only to find that most answers said that women were all inherently gentle in their hearts and that those women who looked strong on the surface were just guarding themselves by pretending to be strong.
Never would they let anyone find out that they were weak.
So there was no need to treat these women differently.
After reading these answers online, I had some ideas in my mind, thinking that Lisa probably liked what I liked as well.
In fact, I had been sending gifts to Lisa over the years. Apart from the ones which were functionally suitable for her, most of the gifts were chosen according to my speculation.
Of course, it was the most appropriate to gift a woman with a bag.
Because of the injury on my face, Patrick considerably chose to accompany me to buy Lisa a gift on Monday.
We strolled around the whole mall and checked all the bags of famous brands.
I found that each bag seemed to be lacking something. After struggling from time to time, I finally decided to buy a red chain bag.
When I went to the counter to pay the bill, I happened to pass by a counter in which there was a pair of beautiful high- heeled shoes with paillettes.
The colors of both the front and the back of the heels changed from time to time. And there were two colors.
As soon as I saw it, I knew in my mind that it was suitable for Lisa!
So I returned the bill for the chain bag and pulled Patrick to check the shoes. Then I heard someone shouting on the side, "Brother!"
I could distinguish the voice even though I hadn't heard of it for a long time.
It was Roger who was speaking.
It was strange that we, who hadn't seen Roger after such a long time, happened to bump into him when we came out to buy a gift for Lisa.
"Did this mean that the two of them had a special fate?"
I thought to myself. When I looked up, I saw Roger standing not far away with a woman holding his arm...
In the blink of an eye, all my thoughts vanished.
The two of them approached us. When the woman next to Roger saw the high heels in my hand, she said, "Wow, Mr. Roger, I like this pair of shoes too."
"Okay, let's buy it." After saying that with a generous look on his face, Roger shouted at the shop assistant, "Get me a pair like that too."
"I want size 37!"
The woman shouted.
When the clerk heard the woman's request, she didn't go to the back cabin. Instead, she came straight over and said, "I'm sorry, Sir. This pair of shoes is a limited edition in the world. There is only a unique size for each of them. There is only a pair of shoes at size 37 in the world which are right in the hands of this lady."
"Mr. Roger..."
As soon as the woman heard what the clerk had said, she began to shake Roger's arm with a pitiful look in her eyes.
Roger couldn't put up with a woman like this. He looked at me with his glamourous eyes and said in an ingratiating tone, "Sister-in-law, are you... buying these shoes for yourself?"
"No, it's a gift."
I told him the truth.
Hearing this, Roger immediately became confident, "Sister-in-Law, since it's a gift, it doesn't matter what it is. The most important thing is your sincerity, isn't it?"
"Yes." I didn't deny it either.
Roger nodded, "You see, my baby likes this pair of shoes. And the one that you're going to gift doesn't insist on getting this pair of shoes as a present, right?"
"That's right."
I nodded.
The woman next to Roger was so excited that she was so contented, looking excited.
Thinking that this matter was about to be settled, she thought she was one step away from paying the bill.
She looked at the shoes in my hands and said happily, "Well, then I'll try them first, okay? If I don't like them, you can buy them again."
"No." I refused decisively.
"You!" The woman was about to lose her temper. However, with a glance at Patrick, she became instantly discouraged and looked at Roger, saying, "Honey..."
I took the shoes to my back and said with a smile, "Mr. Roger, I want to ask you a question, okay? If your answer satisfies me, I will consider whether I should give this pair of shoes to her."
"Go ahead!"
When Roger heard this, he immediately became energized.
"What's the full name of your baby?"
Hearing my question, as expected, Roger looked stunned.
Patrick, who was next to me, smiled gently.
The woman seemed to have realized what the issue was, saying, "Mr. Roger, you..."
"I know, I know!" Looking at this woman, Roger took a deep breath and then said simply in the end, "Baby."
"Can't you even remember the name of your baby?" Patrick chimed in beside me. He raised his hand and wrapped it around my shoulders, "I remember my baby's name quite clearly."
"Bro." Roger glanced helplessly at Patrick.
The woman, who was indeed angry, didn't hold Roger's arm anymore. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, "Hum, Mr. Roger, it turns out that you can't even remember my name! If you don't buy me these shoes, I won't forgive you."
She was trying to give herself a way out.
Roger had so many women by his side. So, in the woman's opinion, it was only natural for her to seize the chance to take advantage of him.
She didn't sincerely care about whether or not Roger remembered her name.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll buy them!" Roger surely didn't want to make this woman angry. So he looked at me and said, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"
I looked at Roger and said with a smile, "Mr. Roger, do you know who I'm giving these shoes to?"
"Who is it?"
"Lisa is going to celebrate her birthday. I will present these shoes as my birthday gift for her."
As soon as I mentioned Lisa...
Roger's expression immediately changed. He didn't even hesitate for a second before saying, "Sister-in-law, take these shoes away."
The woman was taken aback, asking, "Mr. Roger."
"There are so many pairs of shoes. Why does it have to be this pair?"
I didn't know if it was my illusion. But after I mentioned Lisa, Roger dramatically changed his attitude towards the woman next to him in an instant.
"But I only like this pair. You... You promised to buy it for me." As the woman said this, Roger was annoyed.
He ignored her and said to me ingratiatingly, "Sister-in-law, it will be fine if I don't know that it's Lisa's birthday. Since I know it, I surely have to give her my gift as well."
"There's no need."
I held the shoes in my hands and prepared to pay the bill.
Roger followed closely behind me and said, "Sister- in- law, if you need my help in the future, please let me know. But please don't tell Lisa about what happened today!"
"That's enough. Coax your baby."
Patrick finally couldn't help but speak.
I paid the bill and went home, thinking that this matter should have been settled.
When Patrick came back home the next day, unexpectedly, he brought back two exquisite small boxes.
