The lady's voice dripped with disdain as she sneered, "Did you just give me a fake card?" She wore a confused expression while grappling with the card's failure to function.Caspian remained calm and replied, "It's not fake.""I tried it three times and it didn't work," the lady said smugly, not believing his explanation.Growing frustrated with the situation, Caspian argued, "I got the card from this place. It should be valid.""Don't try to deceive me. I know you are not blind; it didn't work for the device," the lady smirked.Internally sighing in annoyance, Caspian tried to reason with her, "No, I have used it before for other transactions.""It must be a glitch," he stated firmly, trying to find a logical explanation."A glitch?

The lady's annoyance boiled over, filling the air with tension.Growing more agitated by the minute, Caspian suggested, "But there are other staff me
Her knees buckled as she opened the envelope, her gaze locked onto Caspian, as she emitted an overwhelming sense of remorse."I have learned my lesson," she whimpered through tears.Despite Caspian's apparent ignorance, he remarked, "Uh, you might have been fired, but I still gave you a $5000 cheque."Unable to contain her emotions, she cried uncontrollably upon seeing the cheque inside the envelope."The cheque is for your cracked iPhone," Caspian clarified."We were monitoring your behavior and insults towards this man here, and this is our way of rewarding you," the manager chimed in.Meanwhile, Caspian let her go for now but intends to bring her back later. Knowing she couldn't handle his complete revenge, he meant it as a warning.Caspian and the bank president exchanged handshakes; he was a friend before he was hired.Just before closing time, Caspian hurriedly went back to the park to get his Rolls-Royce Cullinan and leave for home.In the morning, at 8 o'clock, Caspian set off

He was determined to ensure that Sylvie wouldn't find out, so he opted to return to the boutique after dropping her off.In the Gucci section, he meticulously picked out high-end sneakers, trousers, and shirts from the newest collection. Sylvie's choices were smoothly added to the sturdy tote bag by the helpful clerk at the counter.Exiting the boutique, Sylvie playfully teased, "Looks like you've got your eye on a lot of Gucci items too."Caspian couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

Heather sat across from Caspian, her arms crossed as she spoke with frustration. "I practically worked the whole week. No time for my family."Caspian furrowed his brows, trying to understand. "But I thought you had Sundays off?""We do, but we still have a little work," Heather explained defensively.Caspian tried to keep his cool as he probed further, "When was the last time you saw your family?"Heather's cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she replied, "Um, five months ago.""Five months? That's quite a long time," Caspian reacted with concern."Why didn't you tell me? It's not that hard," Caspian pointed out, placing blame on Heather."I have to work no matter what.

Jenna couldn't help but feel frustrated as she sighed internally. She turned to Caspian and replied, "Yes, I rented this house." Her body language was no longer off-putting.Caspian's expression turned apologetic as he asked, "Looks like your family is wealthy? Sorry to ask."Jenna rolled her eyebrow before responding, "Yes, they are rich. I fell in love with the design of this house, so I decided to rent it.""Okay. Do you have any siblings?"
