Putting down her phone, Rong Shu looked at the manager, “Wrap up these two gowns and settle the bill.”
“Okay.” The manager smiled and nodded, then went forward to pick up the two sets of gowns and put them on his arm, leading Rong Shu towards the cashier.
After packing the gowns, the manager handed the two bags to Rong Shu, “Miss Rong, just pay for your gown, you don’t have to pay for Mr. Fu’s.”
“How?” Rong Shu’s movement of taking out her card paused for a moment.
The manager smiled and explained, “It’s like this, Mr. Fu’s bills are mostly settled annually, at the end of the year on the last day of the year, we will only come to the door to settle all the bills for the year.”
“So that’s how it is.” Rongshu nodded in a dazed manner.
It was true that many of the rich bigwigs in the circle settled their bills annually.
“Alright then, swipe your card.” Rong Shu handed over her card.
The manager took it, but did not rush to swipe it, but looked at Rong Shu and asked “Miss Rong, Mr. Fu said on the phone earlier that your dress could be counted on his account, you”
“No need.” Rong Shu knew what she was going to say after that, and shook her head and refused, “I ordered the dress, I’ve already borrowed his qualifications, so I don’t need him to spend any money.”
“In that case, I see.” The manager smiled and then took the card to the staff at the cashier.
She was actually a little confused.
Weren’t these two people together?
Why do they have to be so clearly separated when buying something?
Although the dress was indeed very expensive, but Mr. Fu was not short of this amount of money, this amount of money, to Mr. Fu, was even more furtive.
Miss Rong, why don’t you want to use Mr. Fu’s money?
There were many questions in his mind, but the manager didn’t have the intention to ask.
After all, this is everyone’s private matter, ask out, then it would be a taboo.
“Miss Rong, please keep your card.” After swiping her card, the manager handed Rong Shu’s card back to her.
Rong Shu took it and smiled slightly and said back, “Okay, I’ll go first then.”
“Take care, Miss Rong.” The manager escorted her out of the shop.
Rong Shu walked out of the mall and headed for her car, ready to go back to Repulse Bay.
She had been in the dress shop for two hours, and it was already past five o’clock, so the group was almost off work, so she didn’t need to go back, so she would just go back and prepare dinner.
Fu Jingting said on the phone earlier that he would be back late tonight and that he would have to go back to the Fu Mansion after work to pick up some things.
I didn’t know what he was going to pick up.
Rongshu shook her head, didn’t think much about it, came to the front of the car, looked down and took out the car keys from her bag, ready to get in.
At that moment, a man wearing a mask and hat and a black jacket came from across the street.
At first, there was nothing unusual about the man’s walk, as if he was really just an ordinary pa*ser-by.
So, after taking a look at him, Rongshu did not pay much attention to him.
However, when the man brushed past her, he suddenly shot out his hand and directly tugged the two bags in her hand, then grabbed them with a fierce snatch.
The bags’ handles were already very fragile, so they could not withstand such a tug.
They broke in a flash.
The two bags fell to the ground, hitting Rongshu’s foot.
The boxes in the bags were hard, and the moment they hit Rong Shu, she let out a stifled grunt of pain.
The man took advantage of her pain to bend down quickly, pick up the two bags on the ground, carry them and run.
Rongshu finally recovered from the shock of being robbed and dragged, knowing that she had been robbed, and not caring about the pain on her feet, she immediately got into the car and chased after the man in the direction he ran.
She never thought that she would be so unlucky as to meet a robber right after she came out.
I’m afraid it was the lo of those two bags that had caught the robber’s attention.
After all, it was a top luxury brand, and whatever was inside was worth a lot of money, so it was easy for people to get greedy.
Rongshu gripped the steering wheel with both hands, her face grim as she stared at the man in front of her who was quickly running away.
The man was running on the pavement, so the car couldn’t get up there, so Rongshu could only chase him in the traffic lane.
As she chased, she took out her mobile phone to call the police.
Because she knew that she could not just stop the car, she could only chase after the man, trying to see where he would run to so that the police could catch him more accurately.
However, when Rongshu had just finished calling the police and hung up her mobile phone, the man suddenly ran in towards an alleyway on the left.
Rongshu’s face changed instantly.
As her car could not be driven in, she had no way of knowing where the man would go after he entered the alleyway.
This would make it more troublesome for the police to find him, unless there was surveillance all over that side.
“D*mn it!” Rongshu slapped the steering wheel in exasperation after pulling over to the side of the road where she could park.
After all, anyone who encountered something like this would have a big tantrum in their heart.
She hadn’t thought she would be so unlucky to be targeted by thieves as soon as she came out, and her eyes were so red with anger.
However, there was nothing she could do now even if she was angry, her things had already been robbed.
The most urgent task now was to catch the man and get the dress back.
After all, tomorrow night, it was the mall party.
Rongshu took a deep breath, barely suppressing her anger and calming down, then dialed the police again, revealing to them where the robber had finally run away from, asking them to retrieve the surveillance there and catch him.
The police naturally accepted her tip and then rea*sured her that she should not be anxious and that they would give her a satisfactory result.
The corners of Rongshu’s mouth barely squeezed as she responded.
What else could she do?
On her own, she would definitely not be able to find the robber, and could only rely on the police.
So now, she could only trust the police with all her heart and soul.
But Fu Jingting’s side, how should she explain it?
He had asked her to bring the dress back, but it turned out that she couldn’t even do this matter properly.
For a moment, Rong Shu’s heart was filled with self-blame, feeling so useless.
She couldn’t help but let go of the steering wheel and covered her face with both hands, guilt radiating around her.
I don’t know how long it took, so long that there was a knock on the car window before she took her hands off her face, revealing a pair of red eyes, and rolled down the window.
Outside was a traffic controller, looking at Rongshu and reminding her “Miss, this is not a place to park for long periods of time, please hurry up and get the car moving.”
Rong Shu nodded slightly, her voice a little hoarse and sad, “Okay, I’ll drive right away, sorry.”
The traffic controller didn’t say anything, saluted her and walked away.
Rongshu took a deep breath and once again let her insides calm down a little before putting the gears in and starting the car.
The police hadn’t called her back yet, so they were probably still in pursuit.
The police said they would call her back as soon as they could, but she didn’t know if there would be any results tonight.
After rubbing her brow in annoyance, Rongshu stopped thinking about it, lest the more she thought about it, the more irritable she became, and the more she affected her concentration on driving, which would be a problem if something happened.
When she returned to Repulse Bay, it was already half past six.
After putting down her bag, Rongshu slumped on the sofa, hungry and in no mood to fix food.
Her mood was all about her dress, and the moment she didn’t get it back, she was in no mood to eat or do anything else.
Rongshu bit her lip, holding her mobile phone in her hand, quietly looking at the black screen of her phone, expecting the screen to light up.
But apparently, her anticipation was not answered.
She waited and waited until it was dark, but the phone screen didn’t even light up, thus showing that the police still hadn’t caught anyone.
Rongshu’s heart grew even more anxious and angry and aggrieved, so aggrieved that she wanted someone to be with her, to wait for the results with her, instead of her facing this terrified wait alone.
The figure of Fu Jingting came to Rongshu’s mind, and her red lips pursed.She missed Fu Jingting.
