Chapter 54 Steven Went to Buy Clothes for Her
Steven couldn't hold back any longer, his large hand slipping under her shirt.
Nora's body tensed up.
The fitting room had just a curtain, with the bottom only reaching their calves, allowing glimpses of people walking by outside.
At that moment, someone walked past outside.
Nora was terrified. If someone pulled the curtain open, they'd make the front page news!
Panicked, Nora grabbed his hand, her voice trembling, "Steven, no, this is a fitting room!"
Steven ignored her, his mouth heavy on her skin.
His hot, wet kisses trailed down from her earlobe. Steven pressed her firmly against the wall.
The woman in his arms was like a lamb to the slaughter, powerless to resist.
Nora tried to control her breathing.
It might be okay at home, but outside... in a fitting room... she couldn't accept it!
"No! Steven, we're in public." Her voice was shaky, almost crying, soft and pitiful.
Steven's Adam's apple bobbed, his gaze dark and consuming.
Just then, a pair of feet stopped outside the curtain.
Suddenly, the sound of a curtain being pulled open echoed.
Nora's eyes widened, but luckily, it was the curtain opposite theirs.
She was scared to death!
An outside attendant complained, "Why don't people pull the curtains open after trying on clothes? There's a line waiting!"
"Did you hear that?" Nora turned to him, "People are waiting for the fitting rooms, let's go."
Steven stood behind her, silent.
Then, Nora heard Hazel outside, "Willie, do you like this outfit?"
"It's nice," Willie replied.
"Then I'll get this one." Hazel had tried on seven or eight dresses before finally choosing one she liked.
Nora turned to Steven, "I'm here to follow Willie. That Hazel is his mistress. They're leaving now, I need to follow them."
Steven heard her.
He clearly heard Hazel call out "Willie," and after a moment of silence, he asked, "You came to follow Willie, how did Philip get involved?"
"I couldn't get a cab, so he gave me a ride." Nora didn't hide anything from him; she was in a hurry to follow them!
Satisfied with her answer, Steven let her go, his appearance still immaculate and charming.
Nora adjusted her floral dress.
Steven glanced at her.
He had been too rough earlier, tearing one of her straps, which now hung precariously.
Steven frowned, about to say something, but Nora left with the untried clothes.
A customer waiting outside the fitting room walked over, about to enter Nora's fitting room, only to see a tall, handsome man emerge.
The customer's expression froze.
What were they doing in there?
The customer glanced back at Nora.
Nora turned around, her eyes meeting the customer's strange expression.
Nora's face flushed instantly, and she quickly put on a black mask, trying to hide her uncontrollable blush!
Steven, however, remained nonchalant, his gaze fixed on her broken strap, his brow deeply furrowed.
Hazel had already paid.
She and Willie turned into another women's clothing store next door. The mall's women's stores were all connected, side by side.
Nora hid at a distance.
Steven surveyed the surroundings and walked into a luxury brand store across the way.
Once inside, a "temporarily closed" sign was placed at the entrance.
The store was cleared out just for him.
Nora didn't know what was happening; she only noticed Steven had suddenly disappeared!
She was stunned for a moment, then realized Philip was gone too!
She checked her phone and saw a message from Philip saying he had to leave for something.
So Philip had gone back!
Nora put her phone away and saw Steven at the checkout in the luxury store, pulling out his wallet!
It was Chanel!
Nora's eyes nearly popped out!
She rushed over, stopping Steven from paying.
This spendthrift!
She didn't even look properly, and he was already trying to pay!
"No buying!" Nora snatched the card from Steven's hand.
She didn't notice it was a black card, nor did she understand its significance. She just held it tight and pulled Steven aside, "Steven, what are you doing? This is Chanel!"
Did he think it was some cheap clothing store?
This was a high-end brand!
Nora couldn't afford such brands; they were too expensive!
"Your strap is broken," Steven's eyes were on her strap.
Next to it were the marks from his kisses.
Nora's face turned slightly red, touched but still refusing, "We won't buy from this store; it's too expensive. I'll get something from another store later!"
Nora didn't want Steven to spend so much.
Though it was kind of him, overspending was just vanity. Life wasn't all about luxury; it wasn't necessary.
Steven's face darkened at her refusal.
It was his first time wanting to buy clothes for a girl, and she was ruining it?
Seeing Steven's face getting darker, Nora got scared.
When he was angry, it was like a storm cloud looming, very intimidating!
Steven, possibly because he was a leader, didn't like being contradicted.
Nora didn't want to upset him, so she softly said, "If you want to buy, get me something from one of those stores."
She pointed to the other women's stores.
Though in the same mall, this side had luxury brands, while the other side had smaller brands, which she could afford.
A set wouldn't be expensive, especially with a discount, and the quality was good, lasting for years!
Steven's handsome face remained stern.
Nora glanced over at Willie; Hazel was still picking out clothes. She was quite picky, trying on many outfits at each store.
"Steven, Willie and Hazel are still there. I need to follow them. Can we shop later?" Nora spoke softly.
Her strap was broken, but there was no time for shopping now.
Steven gave her a cold look, "If the strap breaks, do you want to be exposed for everyone to see?"
Nora muttered quietly, "...You were the one who tore it."
Who told him to be so rough earlier!
Steven pondered, "I'll have James follow them; we can go buy clothes."
As soon as he mentioned James, he appeared out of nowhere.
"Mr. York, did you need me?" James quickly corrected himself, addressing him as Mr. York.
"Yes." Steven nodded slightly, "Go follow those two people across the way, call me if anything happens."
"Understood!" James responded and dashed off.
