BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 - 71: Enna Clark Has a Temper Too
To prevent him from picking up anything else, Enna Clark shopped quicker than ever before. She quickly picked out the ingredients she needed and dragged him to the checkout counter.
“Hello, do you have a membership card?”
Enna put the purchased items on the counter, shaking her head and said, “No.”
“Okay, let me settle the bill for you.” The cashier hit a few keys on the keyboard, scanning each item that Enna bought, “That will be 29-7 dollars. Do you need a bag?”
Phew- so close, only 0.3 dollars left.
Enna wanted to say no to the bag, but the bags for the seafood were prone to leaking, so she reluctantly said, “Yes.”
“Alright, the total is 29.8 dollars. Will you be paying with cash or card?”
“Cash.”
“Card.”
The two voices spoke out simultaneously.
The cashier had been counting the money, head down. At the sound, she looked up in surprise. When she saw Baron Lawrence behind Enna, her eyes suddenly brightened!
Wow, such a handsome man!
Without hesitation, she passed the card reader over, her voice instantly turning softer, “This gentleman, please give me your bank card.”
Enna had long planned to pay for this meal herself, so she wouldn’t let Baron Lawrence pay. She quickly stepped forward, took out the only two banknotes in her bag, and handed them over, “Sorry, take mine.”
“Uh…” The cashier hesitated to accept.
Ordinarily, she would definitely choose to accept cash over card because cash was much more convenient. With a card, she still had to wait for the customer to sign and sort out invoices later. But now, she preferred a bit of inconvenience just to get a better look at the handsome guy.
So handsome.
Wonder what he ate to grow so tall and have such long legs.
It’s a pity she couldn’t see his face clearly because of the sunglasses and hat. And he has a girlfriend…
The cashier felt a little disappointed and couldn’t help but size up Enna a few times. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that the girl didn’t match the ‘Idol’. She took a closer look at the items Enna bought, a handful of fresh shrimp, a few pieces of abalone, and various vegetables. The cashier’s mood soured further.
Buying so little, is she feeding birds? So stingy.
Displeased by what she saw, her natural tone was unpleasant as she bluntly refused, “Miss, I already took out the card reader.”
“Didn’t you not swipe the card yet?”
“I already took out the card reader.” There was a flash of impatience in the cashier’s eyes as she repeated more forcefully, as if Enna hadn’t heard her clearly.
Enna usually considered herself to have a good temper, but her patience had been worn thin by someone recently. Even now, she couldn’t hold back her anger. She pressed the 30 dollars heavily on top of the card reader. Staring at the cashier, she firmly said, “Sorry, please take the cash! His card won’t work!”
The cashier was first surprised that Enna would show such a strong attitude in front of Baron Lawrence. Then, her eyes filled with grievances as she looked at Baron. As if she had been wronged, she complained with a distressed face, “Sir,
1…”
Before she could finish, the man’s thin lips curved up as he looked at her, “You don’t want to take cash?”
Before she could answer, his low, luxurious voice continued, “Then don’t take it.”
The cashier’s eyes widened involuntarily, not expecting happiness to come so suddenly. She couldn’t help but throw a few triumphant glances at Enna, flaunting her victory, “Then I’ll swipe your card.”
Her hand had barely reached out when the black card was taken away, “You don’t need to swipe the card either.”
“What do you mean?” The cashier was astonished and didn’t understand.
Five minutes later, the manager came over with an obsequious apology. It was then that she understood the meaning, her face turning pale. Panicking, she clung to the manager’s sleeve, “Manager, don’t fire me. I didn’t know…”
Unfortunately, the manager didn’t want to hear her explanation. He was so angry he could strangle her. After shooting her a stern warning look, he bowed and scraped, accepted Enna’s money, and escorted her out of the supermarket..
