NovelBarChapter 620 Luxury Lipstick Feud
After finishing her sentence, she smiled at Cherise and said, “I have other matters to attend to, so could
you please settle the bill promptly, Ms. Shaw? I want to leave with the lipstick you’ve generously gifted
me.”
Cherise furrowed her brow slightly.
Kareen, who had seemed completely humiliated, was suddenly appeased by a few whispered words
from the shop assistant. There must be more to this story.
This was a surprise.
Shortly after, the cashier brought over the bill for the two lipsticks, presented it to Cherise, and said,
“Ms. Shaw, if you would please.”
Cherise nodded as she looked at the price column. She noticed that a single lipstick cost 250, and the
total cost for two lipsticks was 500.
Cherise’s eyes widened in disbelief as she held the bill.

That was half a month’s salary!
“Ms. Shaw?”
The cashier noticed Cherise’s stillness, and a trace of disdain flickered in her eyes. Nonetheless, she
continued to smile and address her.
“Please make
your payment here.”
Cherise pursed her lips and looked at Lucy helplessly.
Initially, her plan was simple: buying a single luxury lipstick to project the image of a wealthy Tanner
family girl to Ms. Lane.
Hence… she hadn’t brought that much money.
She had thought a budget of 300 would suffice.
However, she hadn’t anticipated that two lipsticks would total 500.
Kareen yawned nonchalantly, “Ms. Shaw, please hurry.”
“I’m still waiting for the lipstick you’re gifting me!” She sneered.
A subtle mockery gleamed in her indifferent eyes and ridiculed, “Ms. Shaw, it seems you haven’t
brought enough money, have you?”
“Or is Ms. Shaw hesitant to spend her money and perhaps considering reneging on her promise?”
The shop assistant beside Kareen flashed a faint smile at Cherise, “If this lipstick isn’t to your liking, we
have other price ranges available in our shop.”.
“I’ve set my heart on this color and style.”
Kareen crossed her arms and was prepared to challenge Cherise to the end.
Cherise pursed her lips,
After a moment, Cherise took a deep breath, looked up at Lucy, and pleaded, “Lulu, I didn’t bring
enough money. Could you lend me some?”
Lucy was taken aback..
She lowered her voice and leaned into Cherise, “Are you out of your mind? Are you seriously buying
lipstick for Kareen?”

Cherise smiled, “Lend me the money first.”
“I was overly confident, and I was the one who promised her a lipstick.”
“If I renege on my promise, she’ll have more ammunition to humiliate me in the future.”
Lucy pursed her lips, understanding Cherise Shaw’s logic.
But…
“That’s half a month’s salary!”
“If you spend it all, what will you and the kids eat and drink for the rest of the month!?”
Cherise furrowed her brows and muttered, “That won’t happen.”
“Worst case scenario, I’ll have them stay and eat at Damien’s place.”
Lucy was speechless.
Despite her reluctance, Cherise’s decision held firm, and as her friend, Lucy could only offer her
support.
As Lucy reached into her backpack for her bank card, her fingers brushed against the “Lenoir” black
gold card.
The cool, metallic texture brought back memories of the card Maeve had given her at the hospital.
Lucy frowned, thinking that giving this card to Cherise was not appropriate.
After all, even Maeve had said that this black card was a gift from Damien to Cherise.
