Chapter 320 - NO NEGOTIATION?
Cayenne paid for the bag using her own card. Even though it was her card, the money was still coming from Stefan since he made an automatic transfer every end of the month to her account, making sure that she's not running out of funds.
After buying the bag, they went to the home appliance department to find something that they can buy for the wedding. It was a little early to buy gifts but Cayenne wanted to buy the gift in advance before she'll completely forget about it.
"I'd like to give them washing machine." Cayenne told Stefan when they passed by the washing machine area. "They're always busy with work so, a washing machine will make things easier for them."
"I don't mind giving them a washing machine but it would be nice to give them an oven toaster as well. Savannah likes cooking and she's into baking as well. That's what she does during her free time."
"Then, let's get both of them. Is that fine?"
"Sure."
The two of them chose the best washing machine with economic price as well as the oven toaster. In Cayenne's mind, not all expensive items were good. She really asks a lot of questions when she bought the items even though she's not the one who will be using them. She wanted it to be of best quality instead of having the best style and great color.
"Just deliver these items to this address." Cayenne wrote down her address and gave it to the salesman. "A man will receive the items in my behalf. Thank you."
"You're welcome, ma'am."
After buying the gifts, Cayenne and Stefan went to the department store to buy one matching clothes for this month. Chris was following behind them, looking around to buy Rissy a present as well.
"I'm in a department store right now. Do you have anything you'd like to have?" Chris sent this message to Rissy but it took her a little longer to send her reply since she was very busy as well.
"I'm all good. I don't need anything." Rissy's reply came which was already within his expectation.
"Stefan and Cayenne will be getting a matching stuff for this month. Do you want to have matching item with me?"
"Like what?"
"Let's start with a couple shirt. Is that fine?"
"I don't mind." Rissy's reply was a little faster this time. "We can wear it the next time we go on a date."
"I have the same thought." Chris looked around and took pictures of the couple shirts around him and sent it to Rissy. "Do you want to have the same color and same style or different color with same style?"
"I want white shirt. You can have a black."
"How about this?" he sent another picture of matching clothes which were black and white. While he was busy sending messages with Rissy for her preferences, Cayenne and Stefan were also torn between different items. Stefan promised to have one matching item per month but now that they're inside the mall, he was holding a lot of items in his hand.
"Ayen, let's buy two for this month."
"No."
"We can buy two for this month and we won't buy anything next month."
"No."
"You're not up for negotiation?"
"No."
"Do you love me?"
"Yes."
"Then, let's buy two items this month."
"No." Cayenne was firm with her decision and no matter how much Stefan wanted to negotiate with her, she wouldn't judge budge at all. "If you buy one more item this month, we won't buy anything for the next six months."
Stefan put down the other items he got and chose the thing that he likes the best. He wanted the matching sweatshirts with bunny ears print but he also likes the matching shoes that he found.
"If you can't decide which one, let's just make a wheel of this items and pick and let the app choose one."
"How about I pick one and you pick one. One item for each of us in one month." Stefan tried another strategy to buy one more item from the things that he got.
"That's not what we talked." Cayenne retorted with her hands on her hips. "One item or none at all."
"Wifey, let me buy two pairs this month, 'kay? Just one more item."
"No, you can't." Cayenne waved her hand at him and turned around. "If you follow the rule this month, I'll let you ask me one thing. I'll do my best to grant it."
"Sure." Stefan picked the matching shoes immediately and completely ignored the other items that he was having a hard time letting go earlier. "Let's go and pay for this now."
The salesladies who were watching them couldn't stop but smile. Stefan was really clingy to Cayenne and between the couple, it was obvious that he was spoiling her so much. Her words were the rules and even though he would try to be stubborn and fight his way, in the end, he would still listen to her.
Cayenne paid for the shoes using her own card and waited for Chris to pay for the items that he bought as well. Seeing that they were couple items, Cayenne grinned at him. "Looks like you're learning from your boss."
"Of course. I learn from the best." Chris replied while handing his card to the cashier. He didn't buy that much since he wasn't officially in relationship with Rissy yet. And he didn't want her to think that he was flaunting her money in front of her.
"Wifey, do you want to visit the Clover Hotel? We can have dinner with Luna there."
"Great! I'll go buy something for her." Cayenne went to the cosmetics department and looked for something she can give her best friend. It's been a while since they last meet and she missed her so much. Cayenne bought two shades of lipsticks and have it wrapped nicely for Luna.
In truth, Stefan wanted her to meet with Luna because he heard that she sent her resignation letter. She didn't know when the two will meet again given their busy life. And Luna will be a lot busier in the future. It would be difficult for Cayenne to meet with her. But he didn't tell his wife about it.
