Chapter 818 - 106: Buying Something For Boyfriend
Hank continued, "Our family has always been frugal. Money should be spent on the right things, something like this is just not practical. If you want to buy it, you can buy one for ten or twenty dollars on the internet. You are spending thousands of dollars on this kind of thing..."
Hazel was speechless.
Why would she think that this person was a psychopath? The fact that she bought something had nothing to do with him and his family ritual. Probably he was used to a frugal life and couldn't stand wasteful conduct? Even so, it was still unbearable.
"One of my neighbors, an old lady, has lived for ninety-nine years." Hazel couldn't help but interrupt him.
Hank was stunned. He asked awkwardly. "Does this have anything to do with what I said?"
"Does what I buy have anything to do with you?" Hazel said faintly.
Hank's face turned red, "You, you..."
Hazel turned to look at the counter. The clerk took out a tie clip from the counter and said, "Look at this one. It is the latest model in our store, trendy. You buy it for your boyfriend, and he will go crazy for it!"
That tie clip was really stunning, it has smooth lines that were simple yet stylish, and it was perfect for Joshua. Hazel fell for it the moment she set eyes on it.
"You are buying it for your boyfriend?" Hank was a little surprised. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Hazel nodded.
"To buy something for a boyfriend, of course, the more expensive, the better." Hank's attitude suddenly turned a hundred and eighty degrees. He said with satisfaction, "Women should give the best things to men. I think that the latest model is pretty good..."
Hazel's lips were twitching, and she increasingly felt that Hank was a psychopath. She ignored Hank and said faintly, "Help me pack this up."
This one was indeed a bit expensive, but Hazel could still afford it. After paying the bill, Hazel took the tie clip from the clerk. But she saw Hank staring at the box in her hand with a look of expectation.
Hazel raised her eyebrows. What's wrong with this man? Did he want to grab her bag, or was he thinking of grabbing her? She agreed to go shopping with Fanny, but now she really wanted Hank to disappear.
She held the gift steady and saw that Fanny hadn't returned yet. Hazel went to the corner and took out the phone, and called Fanny.
"Fanny, where are you?" Hazel asked.
"Ah, I have some trouble here." Fanny said in a panic, "Sorry, Hazel, please accompany my friend for a while, I will come over soon."
Hazel was speechless. Seeing Hank didn't follow her, she whispered, "Is your friend a psychopath? He is too annoying. Well, forget it. Fanny, I asked my friend to watch a movie with me. How about we let him wait for you here? I have to go now."
"No, no! That... I, I mean, you promised to go shopping with us, right?" Fanny said quickly, "We are also going to the cinema. You two just go to the cinema and wait for me. I will be there soon."
Hazel couldn't help but have some doubts. Why did Fanny stutter?
"That's it." Hazel said, "We are waiting for you at the cinema. But let me put it straight first. When we meet and get out of the cinema, we will go shopping separately, ok?"
Hazel really didn't want to see Hank anymore. Besides, today she had a date with Joshua and did not want to be disturbed.
After hanging up the phone, Hazel simply told Hank that Fanny asked them to go to the cinema to wait for her.
The cinema was not far from them, but the entire way, Hank talked about his family and what his future girlfriend would be like.
Hazel was so distraught by him even being there that she did not want to listen to him. However, she didn't interrupt him out of courtesy instead, she just nodded like she was listening.
At the cinema, Hank pointed to a film that was recently released. "I think this movie should be good. Let's watch it."
Hazel frowned. The film he chose was exactly what she and Joshua were going to watch. She had bought the tickets in advance, so she walked over to pick them up from the self-service ticket collector. She turned around, and Hank had his hand out for a ticket.
"What are you doing?" Hazel looked at him with surprise.
"Give me a ticket and go buy some popcorn and drinks," Hank ordered.
"You are sick." Hazel is speechless. "I bought the tickets. Why should I give it to you?"
"You bought two tickets for the two of us, right?" Hank said. "Hazel, Fanny arranged for us to meet each other today. I am very satisfied with you. But you are still somewhat unworthy of me..."
"Wait!" Hazel seemed to have been electrocuted. She looked at Hank incredulously, "You said that Fanny actually arranged for us to go on a blind date?"
No wonder Fanny had disappeared for such a long time. No wonder Hank scolded her for spending too much money when he just met her. She had wondered why he immediately changed his attitude when he heard Hazel was buying a gift for her boyfriend. Did Hank think it was for him?
Hazel felt like the Volcanoes in Yellowstone National Park had just erupted. She could almost exhale fire out of her mouth now!
Hank was still talking to himself, "We are talking about getting married now. I heard that your family is rich. Of course, I think you should afford the larger part when we buy the apartment..."
"Stop!" Hazel interrupted him quickly. "Mr. Flores, I think you got it wrong," Hazel said coldly. "I didn't know this was a blind date arranged by some brazen people. If I knew it from the beginning, I would never have agreed to come! But you are right, I really don't deserve a genius like you."
"You...! "
Hank was so angry. But Hazel raised her hand and interrupted him again, "The most important thing is, I have a boyfriend, and it is not you. Movie tickets, gifts are for him, not for you. And I am here today dating with my boyfriend!"
Hazel never thought about embarrassing him, but Hank was really disgusting.
Hank's face changed from pale white to red, he was embarrassed and infuriated with the situation. Her words were like a series of slaps slamming on his face! It turned out that he had just toured in a wonderland that did not exist.
Hank was embarrassed, and he yelled at her, "Hazel, it's your blessing that a man like me has a crush on you! How would anyone else want a woman like you? You said you have a boyfriend. Where is he? I don't believe it. Can he even compare to me?"
