Mr. Poker Face’s Sweetheart By Lee Dubois

Chapter 121

Coincidentally, Hymes left for a quiet place to answer the phone at that time, and only Giselle was there, so she couldn’t avoid it.

The red wine dripped down along the hem of Giselle’s dress. Her dress was red, and the stains were not too obvious, but the smell of wine suddenly spread.

Giselle felt uneasy in her heart. This wine stain was the hardest thing to deal with. She didn’t know if the dress could be restored to its original state. If compensation was needed, how much would it be?

Therefore, Giselle didn’t plan to be polite to Jenny anymore. She grabbed Jenny’s hand and said, “What are you doing?!”

“Oops, I’m sorry. It was an accident…” Jenny covered her mouth and pretended to be sorry. “I didn’t expect you to bump into me suddenly, so I accidentally spilled the wine in my cup.”

The surrounding employees gathered around and started discussing what had happened.

Giselle’s face turned cold. “I haven’t touched you, but you deliberately spilled wine on me. What do you mean by that?”

“Don’t slander me! I told you it was an accident! I’ll compensate you with the same dress, okay? Don’t bother me anymore!”

As soon as Hymes finished his call, he came in and heard Jenny’s words. He held Giselle in his arms and glared at Jenny, saying, “You want to compensate her?”

Jenny forced herself to calm down and said, “Sure, I can compensate her. It’s not like I can’t afford it. Why does she have to make such a big fuss about it?”

Hymes thought of something and sneered, “Okay then. The price of this dress is fifty thousand dollars. Can you afford it?”

Jenny scoffed, “Are you kidding me? Fifty thousand dollars for a fake dress? Why make such a big deal out of it? Do you think everyone is a fool?”

Hymes held Giselle tightly and said in a serious tone, “The value of this dress is not for you to decide. The invoice is right here. Do you

want to take a look?”

Jenny’s expression froze for a moment. “How is that possible…”

She didn’t believe it. Even if the previous diamond ring was so expensive, could Giselle’s dress really cost that much?!

Jenny raised her chin and said contemptuously, “Show me the invoice. Let me see how much this dress is worth…”

At that time, Mickey rushed over, and Jenny showed him a contemptuous smile. “Look how vain your ex girlfriend is. She dares to

say this knockoff dress is worth fifty thousand dollars. Who would believe that? Does she think we’re all fools?”

Before Jenny could finish her sentence, under Mickey’s shocked looks, Hymes had already taken out an invoice from his suit pocket and handed it to her indifferently.

“Take a good look.”

Giselle was stunned.

When did Hymes get the invoice for the dress? Did his friend from the design studio give it to him?

Did he predict that this kind of situation would happen and prepare for it in advance?

Giselle looked at Hymes with admiration in her eyes. She felt Hymes was awesome! He even had anticipated this situation.

Especially when Jenny’s face suddenly turned pale and showed unbelievable looks, Hymes‘ actions were even more handsome.

Jenny refused to believe it and snatched the invoice over, biting her lip nervously and trembling

Mickey also took a glance at the invoice and had an unhappy expression on his face. However, considering Jenny’s family background, even if the dress was worth seventy thousand dollars it was nothing to Jenny. So he immediately said, “We’ll compensate for it. Even if this dress is worth fifty thousand dollars, it’s not a big deal”

“No, I don’t have…” Jenny couldn’t come up with so much money now.

Jenny was frightened, but she didn’t want to show her fear in front of so many people. Her eyes were filled with panic.

Seeing this, Mickey apologized to Giselle on behalf of Jenny. “Jenny didn’t do it on purpose. What she said just now was unintentional. Don’t take it to heart. We will compensate you for it.”

“Then please make it quick. The money needs to be transferred before tonight.”

Hymes said coldly, taking Giselle to the bathroom to temporarily deal with the wine stain on her skirt.

After seeing all that, Giselle’s colleagues finally understood the true value of her dress, and their emotions were complex.

It wasn’t easy for them to believe that Giselle’s dress was so expensive.

But the evidence was right in front of them, so they had to believe it.

People whispered and discussed, “Could her husband be a millionaire?”

“Maybe he’s a hidden rich man. Otherwise, how could he be so rich…”

“Or maybe Giselle herself is just really wealthy.”

“But I have never seen Giselle get anything expensive before. All the expensive things she owns are all after she got married.”

“That’s right. The lunchbox she uses is so expensive, the ring, and now even the dress…”

Hearing these comments, Mickey had mixed feelings, but he still comforted Jenny patiently, “Don’t clash with Giselle anymore. Try to get along peacefully, or else people will laugh at me.”

Jenny’s mind was a mess, and she nervously grabbed onto Mickey and asked, “What about the fifty thousand dollars?”

“What do you mean? You are not short of that kind of money. Pay the compensation so that they won’t talk behind back.”

“But I…”

“Well, it’s just a small sum of money. Don’t take it to heart. My girl, I have to meet with some bosses.”

Mickey left Jenny alone there. Jenny clenched her wine glass and wanted to smash it to the ground to vent her anger.

Giselle and Hymes came out of the washroom after cleaning Giselle’s dress, and the wine stains weren’t very noticeable.

Giselle was the company’s vice president, and she had to go socialize with the partners, so she quickly left.

Standing in front of several bosses and exchanging a few greetings, the boss of one of the companies suddenly said to Giselle, “Ms. Ostry, Your necklace looks good.”

“This ruby isn’t cheap, right?”

Giselle was stunned by the words and casually replied, “It’s okay…”

“Ms. Ostry, you’re being modest. My wife has a similar one. I spent over two hundred thousand dollars. Your necklace is probably worth just as much.”

Giselle’s heart skipped a beat when hearing this, and she was totally shocked.

Hymes‘ friend was too generous. How could a random necklace be so expensive?

If Giselle had known that the necklace on her neck was worth so much, she would not have worn it out…

After the pleasantries were over, Giselle hurried back to Hymes‘ side and quickly reached out to pinch his waist while no one was looking.

“What’s wrong?” Hymes asked, pulling Giselle into his embrace.

Giselle leaned against him and snorted, “Do you know how much my necklace is worth?”

“How much?” Hymes pretended that he didn’t know.

“I heard that it costs at least 140 thousand dollars! What if we lose it? How will we pay for it?”

Hymes‘ face was full of amusement. “It’s insured. Don’t worry.”
