Chapter 7 He's My Boyfriend

After purchasing the suit, Lindsey and Domenic walked aimlessly along the corridor of the mall and ended up in the women's wear section.

"I need to go to the restroom. You can look around here first," Domenic said, stopping at the door to one of the shops.

Lindsey nodded.

When she walked into the shop, a dress on display by the window immediately captured her attention.

It was a pure white evening dress adorned with numerous silver diamonds on the waist and hemline. Under the store's warm lighting, it sparkled as brilliantly as a starry galaxy. Although Lindsey loved it at first sight, she figured it would cost her a fortune, so she decided to forgo purchasing it for the sake of her wallet.

Just as she was about to leave, a harsh voice sounded from behind her.

"Hey, Lindsey!"

Lindsey turned around, only to see a woman in a sexy, body-hugging strapless dress strutting towards her, her hips swaying from side to side.

You know what they say—enemies are destined to meet. Sure enough, this woman was none other than Lindsey's high school rival, Mary Bentley!

Back in high school, Lindsey was regarded as the most beautiful girl in the class, which made Mary quite jealous. At that time, Mary had a crush on the school hunk, who then fell in love with Lindsey. Mary hated Lindsey even more and from then on, she was determined to make things difficult for Lindsey. Later, Lindsey got accepted into a university that Mary didn't pass, so the two hadn't crossed paths since their high school graduation.

"Long time no see, Lindsey." Wearing heavy makeup and bright red lipstick, Mary sauntered over and stopped right in front of Lindsey. Glancing at the dress Lindsey had been staring at just now, she sneered, "Like that dress, huh? Why don't you buy it?"

After saying that, she covered her mouth as if she had just realized something. Then, she said in a fake apologetic tone, "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that the clothes in this shop are quite expensive. You probably can't afford any of them."

Hearing this, Lindsey simply smiled. "It's been years since we last saw each other, Mary, yet you're still just as mean as before."

"You are—" Feeling insulted, Mary instantly flew into a fit of rage, but just as she was about to lose her temper, she saw a tall and handsome man walking toward her.

Mary was immediately captivated by his handsome face and aloof aura. She instantly swallowed her anger and smoothed her hair, hoping that he'd notice her.

But to her surprise, this god-like man didn't even glance at her. She could only watch as he went straight to Lindsey.

"Who's this, Lindsey?"

she asked politely, pretending to be a meek, gentle girl.

Lindsey leaned against Domenic and linked arms with him, saying affectionately, "He's my boyfriend. What do you think? He's quite charming, right?"

Domenic spared her a glance and said nothing at all.

Mary was shell-shocked. She didn't expect that Lindsey would land such a good-looking boyfriend. Just thinking about her own fat and balding boyfriend, Mary was jealous to death.

She looked Domenic up and down. Only then did she notice the old leather jacket he was. wearing, and suddenly, a thought occurred to her.

"What's the use of a handsome face if he can't even afford nice things? Men are only as good as the money they make. Otherwise, his woman will only suffer. See? You can't even afford the clothes you fancy. How pathetic is that?" Mary sneered, a mocking smile appearing on her face.

Then she took out a bank card from her bag and waved it at Lindsey's face.

"My boyfriend's different. I told him I had more than enough clothes, but he insisted I go shopping for more. Look! He gave me a credit card and told me to buy whatever I liked. I don't even know how I'll spend all this money!"

When the shop assistant heard this, she immediately trotted over to Mary with a big smile and started talking to her about their store's latest collection.

Mary's vanity was satisfied, but she still glanced at Domenic from the corner of her eye. What annoyed her was that this man didn't so much as glance at her, even when she talked big just now. On the contrary, his eyes never left Lindsey. What the hell was so good about this bitch?

"I can support myself. Why would I need to rely on a man?" Lindsey shot back, though her voice was calm and steady. Then, holding Domenic's arm, she said, "Let's get out of here."

"Leaving already? Why'd you even come into the shop if you don't have any money?" Mary's shrill laughter filled the whole shop, and even the shop assistant couldn't help but cast a disdainful look at Lindsey in secret.

Lindsey gritted her teeth, but she didn't want to argue with someone as unreasonable as Mary. She turned around to leave, however, Domenic unexpectedly pulled her back into the shop.

"Mr. Walsh?" Lindsey looked at him in confusion with her big, doe-like eyes.

"It's true that I don't have that much money on me, but someone gifted me a card exclusive for this mall. Maybe it can be used here."

As he spoke, he took out a shiny golden card from his pocket.

What the hell?! How was that possible?!

Mary's eyes went as wide as saucers. That card was the Supreme VIP Card for the mall. It was rumored that the holder of this card had to spend a minimum of five million dollars here annually. This man, dressed in such shabby clothing, didn't appear to be wealthy. How could he possess such a card?!
