Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Some Compensation

"Where can I try this on?" he asked.

"There’s the lounge or President Fuller’s office has a resting area..."

Zomerton had just finished speaking when Chloe Quinn kicked him from behind.

Luke Gardiner saw it and walked forward with a book in hand, "Let’s do it in my wife’s office then."

The employees following were all shocked.

President Fuller got married???

Florence Fuller had just stood up from her desk when Luke Gardiner came in, followed by the company’s designers and stylists who pushed in a variety of clothes in different colors and styles.

She frowned, "What are you doing?"

"I just checked out the designs at your company, and they’re really nice, so I thought I’d try some on. You have a lounge here, don’t you?"

He said while looking for the door to the lounge.

The employees noticed their boss seem a bit displeased and quickly spoke up, "President Fuller, it was Secretary Sussex and Secretary Zomerton who said President Quinn instructed us to come."

Florence Fuller was simply annoyed at Luke Gardiner.

"Go ahead and try them on, take your time." Florence Fuller pointed in the direction of the lounge, "I have a meeting to attend, so no rush."

Luke Gardiner raised an eyebrow, "Thanks, honey."

Florence Fuller left the office, and Lily Hart was standing by the door. She leaned over and whispered, "Double the price for him."

Lily Hart nodded, "Don’t worry, this big order won’t be missed."

Florence Fuller left satisfied.

Chloe Quinn waited for her as they went into the elevator together, Chloe said, "He said he wanted to try on clothes, and I thought we shouldn’t let this cash cow go, so I had them bring up the clothes. You’re not mad, right?"

Florence Fuller chuckled, "Didn’t you say not to let the cash cow slip away, do you lack confidence in our company’s designs?"

"Not at all," Chloe Quinn said, "Who knows what that young master might be like, he could be picky."

Florence Fuller shrugged, the elevator reached the floor, and they walked out smiling.

Two hours later, Florence Fuller returned to her office, which used to be spacious but was now filled with racks of clothes.

Employees were organizing the clothing.

It seemed the selection was done.

"Where’s Luke Gardiner?"

Lily Hart was checking the invoice with finance, "After trying them on, he said he was tired and wanted to nap in your lounge."

Chloe Quinn coincidentally also came in, seeing the racks being pushed out in rows.

The sofa area had a pile of paper bags, fully packed, Chloe Quinn raised an eyebrow, "Oh wow, a big purchase."

Florence Fuller was giving work instructions to Lily Lancaster, and after figuring things out, Lily Hart handed the invoice to Florence Fuller.

Nearly eight figures, Florence Fuller raised an eyebrow.

But she didn’t feel the slightest bit worried.

"For Mr. Gardiner, we included only the best, latest limited editions, pre-sale items, and custom designs."

Florence Fuller glanced at the pile of clothes on the sofa, "Ask him to settle the bill."

No one moved.

Florence Fuller looked at them.

"Boss, maybe you should do it," Lily Hart suggested with difficulty, "He is your husband after all."

Florence Fuller took the invoice and headed to her lounge.

She opened the door to find a big lump on the bed. She went in, and Luke Gardiner was sleeping soundly.

Florence Fuller patted him, "Time to get up."

No response.

She thought for a moment and simply pulled the blanket off. Luke Gardiner was startled awake, still looking a bit dazed from sleep.

"Wake up," Florence Fuller shook the invoice in her hand, "Time to pay up."

He frowned, "Can’t you just pay it?"

"No way!" Florence Fuller cut him off, "Get up and swipe the card."

Luke Gardiner rubbed his face and reluctantly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Once he was ready, he saw Florence Fuller’s secretary with a polite smile, "Mr. Gardiner, will it be check or card?"

He glanced at the invoice, then paused as he reached for his wallet, looking at Florence Fuller, "Honey~"

Florence Fuller ignored him.

Lily Hart and Lily Lancaster exchanged a glance, hoping their boss wouldn’t have to foot the bill herself.

Seeing that Florence Fuller was ignoring him, he went around to her desk, "Do I really have to pay for these clothes from your company?"

"What do you think?" Florence Fuller answered without looking up from her tablet, "Does that pile look like just two pieces to you?"

Luke Gardiner raised an eyebrow, "Can’t you just give them to me? I’ll wear them and advertise for you."

Florence Fuller let out a dry laugh, "Luke Gardiner, my money doesn’t grow on trees."

Of course, Luke Gardiner wasn’t short of money for clothes; he just wanted to tease Florence Fuller.

He took out his card, "Fine. But you swear you’re not overcharging me."

Eight figures. Isn’t this a luxury brand?

"Mr. Gardiner," Lily Hart returned his card after processing it, "These clothes include the latest limited editions, custom designs, and even some unreleased pieces we brought out just for you."

Luke Gardiner chuckled, "Does your company do special-made designs for individuals?"

"Yes, we do."

"I just had them take my measurements, can you make one for me too?"

"I’m afraid not," Lily Lancaster replied, "We only offer this to fifteen clients, and we’re fully booked."

Luke Gardiner raised an eyebrow and looked at Florence Fuller again, "Honey~"

"Mr. Gardiner, surely someone like you doesn’t lack custom designs. Our slots are really full."

"But my wife’s your boss, adding one more won’t hurt."

Chloe Quinn looked at him and then at Florence Fuller, thinking about someone relying on their connections.

"Are you that free every day?" Florence Fuller looked at him, "Don’t you have enough clothes already?"

"Aren’t these from your brand?" Luke Gardiner leaned down, one hand on the desk, the other on the back of her chair, flashing her an ambiguous wink, "Isn’t it better to wear your company’s stuff out?"

Chloe Quinn rolled her eyes, and Lily Lancaster and Lily Hart secretly shook their heads.

Isn’t he the classic charming playboy?

Florence Fuller laughed, her lips curled into a smile, and then...

Luke Gardiner shuddered, his expression changed dramatically.

Florence Fuller stood up, stepping on his foot, smiling at Lily Lancaster, "Add one for him, double the price."

Luke Gardiner couldn’t pull his foot out, and with others present, he couldn’t yell in pain, so he endured and looked at the person in front of him; this tactic never changed, yet he always fell for it.

"Oh-oh..." Lily Lancaster realized, "I’ll get the contract ready."

Chloe Quinn and Lily Hart also left.

Florence Fuller removed her foot.

She was about to speak when Luke Gardiner pinned her to the desk, squeezing between her legs, his tone still pained, "You did that on purpose."

"Move," she was unhappy with the close contact, "Didn’t you already get one added?"

"I was talking about you stepping on me."

"Serves you right," Florence Fuller called out.

Luke Gardiner breathed heavily, Florence Fuller pushed him, her gaze warning, "You better get off me right now."

"I won’t," Luke Gardiner’s eyes wandered down her face to her collarbone, he caught her hands and pinned them above her head, "My foot still hurts, don’t you think I deserve some compensation?"
