Chapter 730 - Words

That morning at the office, Lisa was in a very good mood. The woman's smile was as bright as the sun shining through the window. The air was warm and the hot coffee she bought at the coffee shop near the office was able to make her chest and stomach feel warm.

While walking from the coffee shop to the office, Lisa saw several people around her walking in a hurry. The morning atmosphere around the Better Life office is always bustling. Many people rushed out of taxis and paced up into their office buildings.

Usually, Lisa also does the same thing. Especially when Oscar chose to tease her in the morning. But not this time. The woman deliberately left early so she could enjoy the morning before working behind her desk. 

That morning, Lisa wore a light brown short coat which was matched with a plain white t-shirt and jet black pants. This time, she decided to look casual but still neat. There's nothing wrong with looking casual at the office once in a while, right?

Actually, the clothes she was wearing were all gifts from Oscar. He gave them when they were married, but Lisa had never worn them before. And when they were divorced, Lisa never wanted to touch the things that the man had bought for her.

But now everything is different. Besides, they had fixed their romantic relationship, and Lisa also thought that it'd be a waste if she didn't wear nice clothes. 

But if she recalled the price of these clothes… they're so expensive that Lisa didn't want to wear them too often for fear that they would spoil quickly.

Now that Lisa has just served as head of the Finance Division, how could her salary and bonuses make her buy branded clothes? Such questions circled the heads of those who had arrived at the office that morning.

"Lisa?" Cicilia could not believe her eyes. The woman who was originally brewing hot coffee immediately put her cup on the table and walked over to Lisa, "Crazy, your clothes are really nice..."

Before Lisa had time to reply to her compliment, another colleague had already come over to them. The look on the woman's face was no less surprised than Cicilia and several other employees.

"Good morning, Miss Lisa!"

"Where did you buy the coat, ma'am? This coat is suitable for traveling abroad. I have plans to go to New York with my friends! Can you tell me where you bought this?"

Cicilia frowned, "Hey, I haven't finished talking yet." Then the woman looked back at Lisa's clothes from top to bottom, "Crazy, do you even know that the bag you're wearing right now is a limited edition? I've been monitoring the website so I can get it, eh, in less than 2 minutes the bag was sold out!"

Even though Lisa knew they wanted to compliment the clothes and bag she was wearing right now, she wasn't stupid. She knew that they were actually jealous and that at least they would talk behind her back after this. 

It's nothing, it's just that Lisa is sure Cicilia will join them.

Lisa smiled faintly, "How do you know that this bag is a limited edition?"

"Oh, I really like seeing expensive things like this! If I had more money, I would have bought all the branded bags I wanted. Besides, this is a Coahc bag, right?"

Actually, Lisa doesn't know the brand of the bag she is wearing now. She only saw that the bag stood out from the row of other bags that Oscar had bought for her. This morning, she just took the bag because she thought the tote bag matched the clothes she was wearing now.

Lisa is also too busy working and taking care of other things that she doesn't know about the fashion world at all.

Several pairs of eyes looking at her with a jealous look made Lisa feel uncomfortable. Moreover, Cicilia's voice, which sounded loud enough, made them turn around and join the crowd. But Lisa could only smile and try to end their topic.

"Ah, I don't really know about that…"

"Huh?" This time, Cicilia met Lisa's eyes with jealousy. "You don't know? No way! You should know, right? You bought this bag yourself."

"Never mind, whether this bag is expensive or not is none of your business." Lisa replied quickly, she tightened her grip on the strap of her tote bag and said, "Hurry up, the time is moving!"

Their eyes almost made Lisa feel like a celeb who suddenly came to visit a mall. Even until she walked past them and entered her study, Lisa could still feel those pairs of eyes looking at her.

Cicilia and the other work colleagues were standing not far from Lisa's office. Instead of following Lisa's orders and getting back to work, they just stood around and gossiped happily to each other.

"Eh, the coat that Mrs. Lisa is wearing… is not an ordinary coat. If I'm not mistaken, the price can reach up to 10 million!"

"Seriously!?"

"You think I'm lying? You see, I like to follow news about expensive things!"

Cicilia's index finger patted her chin, the woman looked like she was deep in thought. "You saw the bag that Mrs. Lisa was wearing, right? It's a Coahc bag! When the model bag was about to come out, I had saved as hard as I could to buy the bag, but the budget was still lacking! And now that the bag is no longer for sale, I still can't buy it."

"It's crazy, the salary of the division head is also a lot, isn't it…? It's only right that Mr. Surya likes to play with girls! He used to get exorbitant salaries."

Hearing that made Cicilia shake her head, "No, no. In my opinion, the clothes, coats, pants, and even the bag were a gift from her boyfriend. There's no way she can afford that much stuff with her salary as the head of the division!"

Those standing outside Lisa's study talked about her as if they knew her better. They were so engrossed in talking about the price of the clothes Lisa was wearing that they didn't realize they had wasted enough time.

If Lisa had known things would end up like this, the people behind her were talking about it, she wouldn't have been wearing the clothes Oscar gave her to the office. She should have continued to wear casual-looking clothes, and wore the ones that Oscar gave her when they got out for a walk.

"Wearing expensive clothes is wrong," Lisa grumbled as she took off her coat, "Ugh…. I swear it's so hard to be human!"
