At this declaration, everyone stared at me in unison.

She paused, then looked at Liam with a contrite expression. “It’s Miss Thorne who knows what she’s done.”

A sales assistant, holding the suits I’d picked for Julian, looked at Liam hesitantly. “These have already been bought by Miss Thorne…”
Liam sneered, “She hasn’t paid yet, has she?!”
With that, he pulled out his black card and waved it in front of the assistant. “I’ll pay first, then they’re mine!”
I chuckled, taking the suits from the sales assistant. “Just deduct it from my prepaid card.”

As I left, Liam shouted behind me, “Aria Thorne, stop pretending!”
“Aren’t you just playing hard to get with us?! Your tricks are too childish!” I ignored him, quickening my pace.
