Putting the phone down, Amber looked at the manager, "Wrap up these two dresses and check out."

"Okay." The manager smiled and nodded. She picked up two dresses, slapped them over her arms, and led Amber toward the cash register. After packing the dresses, the manager handed Amber two bags, "Miss Reed, you only need to pay for your dress, not Mr. Farrell's." "Why?" Amber paused as she reached for her card.

The manager explained with a smile, "Well, most of Mr. Farrell's bills are annual, and we settle all the bills for the year at the last day of the year." "Oh, I see." Amber nodded.

It was true that a lot of the fat cats in the business paid once a year.

"Okay. Credit card." Amber handed her card over.

The manager took Amber's card, but instead of rushing to swipe it, she looked at her and asked, "Miss Reed, Mr. Farrell called earlier and said that your dress could be charged to him. You..." "There's no need." Amber knew what she was going to say next and shook her head no, "I ordered the dress, and I already borrowed his VIP status, so he didn't have to pay for it."

"Ok, got it." The manager smiled and gave the card to the clerk at the cash register.

She didn't really understand.

Weren't these two people together?

Why did they have to divide things so clearly?

The dress was expensive, but Mr. Farrell didn't mind the money. It was nothing to Mr. Farrell.

Why wouldn't Miss Reed use Mr. Farrell's money?

She had a lot of questions in her mind, but the manager didn't want to ask her.

After all, it was everyone's personal business and it was not appropriate for her to ask.

"Miss Reed, please keep your card." After swiping the card, the manager handed Amber her card back.

Amber took the card and replied with a smile, "All right, I'm gonna go."

"Good bye." The manager escorted her out of the store.

Amber walked out of the mall to her car and headed back to Kelsington Bay.

She had been in the dress shop for two hours, and it was after five o'clock, and the office was almost closed, so she didn't have to go back and she decided to go home directly to get dinner. Jared said on the phone that he was going to be back late tonight, and after work, he was going back to the Farrell's Mansion to pick up some stuff.

She had no idea what he was going to get.

Amber shook her head and, without thinking. She went to the car, bent over to her bag, and took out the keys, ready to get in.

At this moment, a man in a mask and hat, wearing a black jacket, walked in the opposite direction.

At first, the man did not walk differently, as if he were really just an ordinary passer-by.

So, Amber took one look at him and didn't think much of it.

But as he was walking past her, the man made a sudden move, grabbed both bags in her hand and snatched them.

The handle of the bag was fragile and could not withstand such a drag.

There it was. It just snapped.

Two bags fell to the ground and hit Amber in the foot.

The box inside the bag was hard, and Amber groaned in pain as it hit her.

That man took advantage of the moment, bent over, picked up the two bags on the ground, and ran away with them.

Amber finally recovered from the shock of being robbed and realized she had been robbed. Ignoring the pain in her feet, she immediately got in the car and ran in the direction the man was running. She had no idea that she would be so unlucky as to come out and be robbed.

Maybe it was the logo on the two bags that caught the robber's attention.

After all, it was a top luxury brand, no matter what was inside, it must worth a lot, so it was easy to make people greedy.

Amber clenched the steering wheel with both hands and stared darkly at the man ahead as he sped away.

The man was running on the sidewalk, and the car couldn't get up, so Amber had to chase him in the traffic lane.

As she chases him, she pulled out her phone to call the police.

Because she knew she couldn't stop at random, she could only run after the man to see where he was going so the police could catch him more accurately.

However, as Amber called the police and hung up the phone, the man suddenly ran into an alley to the left.

Amber's face changed.

Since her car couldn't get in, she had no way of knowing where the man would go if he got into the alley.

That made it harder for the police to find, unless there was surveillance.

"Damn it!" Amber angrily slapped the steering wheel as she pulled over to the side of the road where she could park.

After all, such a thing would make anyone feel angry.

She had no idea that she would be so unlucky. She was spotted by thieves as soon as she came out, which made her eyes red with anger.

But there was no point of being angry, things had been robbed.

Now all she needed to do was to catch the thief and get the dress back.

After all, the mall party was tomorrow night.

Amber took a deep breath to calm down her anger and then called the police. She told them where the robber finally left off and asked them to get the surveillance. The police naturally accepted the clues she provided, and then comforted her, telling her not to worry, and would give her a satisfactory result.

Amber squeezed the corners of her mouth.

What else could she do?

She couldn't find the robber on her own, she had only the police to rely on.

So, for now, all she had to do was to trust the police.

But what should she to Jared?

He asked her to take the dress home, and she couldn't even do it right.

For a moment, Amber felt guilty and useless.

She let go of the steering wheel and covered her face with her hands, feeling guilty.

After a long time, until there was a knock on the window, she took her hand off her face, showed a pair of red eyes, and rolled down the window. Outside, a traffic officer looked at Amber and warned, “Miss, this is not the place to park for a long time. Please start your car immediately." Amber nodded slightly and said in a sad, hoarse voice, “All right, I'll drive right away. Sorry."

The traffic officer said nothing, saluted her and walked away.

Amber took a deep breath, cleared her mind again, and put the car into gear.

The police hadn't called her back, and they were probably still looking for him.

Police said they'd get him and call her back as soon as they could, but she didn't know if they would get anything tonight. Amber rubbed her eyebrows irritably, but didn't think twice about it in order to avoid getting distracted and getting into trouble. It was already half past six when she returned to Kelsington Bay.

Amber dropped her bag and collapsed onto the couch. She was hungry but in no mood to get something to eat.

She was all about the dress right now. Until the dress was found, she was in no mood to eat or do anything else. Amber was biting her lip, holding the phone in her hand, silently staring at the black screen, waiting for it to light up. But apparently, her expectations were not met.

She waited and waited and waited until it was dark and the screen didn't light up. So, the police still hadn't caught the thief.

Amber became even more anxious and angry. She was so upset that she wanted someone to be with her and wait for the result, instead of waiting in fear alone. Amber's red lips curled as she saw Jared in her mind.

She missed Jared.0000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
