Someone Bought Them For Me

Start from the beginning
                                    

“We have work aprons at work; there’s no need to dress like that. You are free to dress however you want during your time off, but please be more mindful when you come to work. After all, our job is to teach kids.”

She was entirely over on Zhao Xian’s side!

Most of the experienced employees of the art center were also nodding on the side, kissing up to Liu Li.

Gu Shishi looked down at the intertwined C logo on her tee shirt.

Knockoffs?

Nobody knew the cost of each article of clothing better than she did.

“Oh, I am a more straight-forward person. You are not mad at me, are you, Shishi?” said Zhao Xian with a smile.

But, her look was filled with a sense of superiority. She even reached her hand up and brushed it over her Tiffany diamond key around her neck, feeling proud.

Half way through her snickering, she was interrupted by Gu Shishi saying, “I don’t mean to be disrespectful... This shirt cost $5,600 and this skirt was $18,000.”

Gu Shishi twisted the corner of her skirt with a complicated look.

She had just verified them again with the system. Her data was very precise.

Zhao Xian’s voice stopped abruptly but, quickly, her look with filled with even more sarcasm.

“That much? Did you empty out all of your savings?”

They were only making $4,000 per month during the probation period. And one could easily tell Gu Shishi wasn’t from money from the way she dressed normally.

And suddenly she was able to upgrade to a $20,000 set of clothes?

Liar!

Zhao Xian didn’t even need to think that hard to figure that one out.

“Nope. Someone bought them for me.” Gu Shishi was an honest girl.

“Someone?” Zhao Xian was stunned.

Even Ling Xiaomei couldn’t help but gasp. The store manager and experienced employees all looked in their direction.

“Really, Shishi? Your boyfriend? I didn’t know you are seeing someone?”

“What is the background of your rich boyfriend? Why didn’t you introduce him to us?”

There were a lot of women in the art center, and they all enjoyed gossip.

Work hours hasn’t even started yet, and now all the more everybody had completely forgotten about the employment assessment.

Just the idea of a man who was rich enough and willing to buy designer brand clothes for a girl was enough to make every woman’s blood boil.

Zhao Xian took a look at Gu Shishi’s pretty face and jealousy flashed passed her eyes.

She had just found herself a second-generation rich boyfriend last month and feeling very proud of herself, but now Gu Shishi, the one who was ranked at the bottom of everything she did, also got herself one?

“Nothing much to share, just the engagement that was arranged by my family.” Gu Shishi turned her palms upward and owned up to it.

The truth would come out sooner or later.

She came to work everyday and came into contact with all these people. Sooner or later, they’d find out that she was engaged and living at her fiance’s place.

It’s better to just come clean now rather than when others found that out on their own. She didn’t need rumors that she was a kept woman, say from someone like Zhao Xian, who had nothing better to do.
