Chapter 267 Wrist Is Grabbed by Someone Out of the Blue
There were really a lot of people. The good thing was that the entrance and exit were not set in the
same location so it was not too crowded even though all were going in together.
The driver followed Dolores, afraid that things that were out of his control would happen.
He was a driver and also a bodyguard. Since he followed Dolores to come out, he certainly had to
ensure her safety otherwise he could not report when he went back.
There were three floors here and each floor was vast. There were rows of stores and the door of each
store was having a wide range of goods. Everything could be found there and even the things that one
could not think of also could be found there.
Dolores was attracted by a toy store. Perhaps because she was the mother of two children so when
she saw toys, she wanted to go in and see if there were any toys that her children liked.
Samuel liked toys that required brain works and he would not even look at toys like cards and stuffed
toys like kitten and puppy. On the contrary, Simona liked furry toys.
Dolores was attracted by a polygonal Rubik’s cube. She took it with her hand and looked at it. There
were nearly fifty modules on one side and each module’s size was as small as a nail. There were six
sides in total.
Dolores turned a few times and felt very difficult.
“Normal people can’t play with this. If you’re buying for children, I suggest buying these,” the owner of
the toy store came over to introduce. He pointed to the shelves with rows of various Rubik’s cubes that
consisted of triangular and quadrangular or square type, “These are more suitable for children from five
to ten years old, how old is your child?”
“Five years old.” Dolores still liked the one she was holding.

“This one is suitable.” The owner of the store took a triangular one that was a bit more novel than the
square one. It was with fewer sides so it was relatively simple and suitable for a five-year-old child.
Dolores smiled and took out her wallet, “I want this one, help me to pack it.”
The owner of the store smiled. He would just sell whichever the customer wanted to buy. The main
thing for him was to be able to sell it.
“Let me help you get a new one.” The boss went in to look for the unopened one while muttering, “What
a strange person, why people always think their children are geniuses.”
There were only two such kinds of cubes in his store. They were originally placed in the box but
although many people looked at them, no one bought them at all as they thought it was impossible to
solve them. Afterwards, he did not have other solutions so he unpacked it and put it here for the
customers who came in to play with it. Many people tried it but even so, no one bought it.
However, he managed to sell it today so he was quite happy. The process of making this kind of cube
was complicated and the cost was also high. He thought it would be there forever but unexpectedly, he
managed to sell it today.
After finding the cube, the boss smilingly took the cube over, put it in a bag and handed it to Dolores,
“Your child must be very smart.”
Dolores smiled lightly and did not say anything. In her mind, she did feel that her son was the smartest.
Like all mothers in the world, she thought that her child was the best.
Dolores asked, “How much?”
“360 yuan.”
Dolores took out cash of four hundred yuan to him and the boss gave her the change of 50 yuan, “I
give you discount for 10 yuan. This cube cost me 350 yuan and I couldn’t sell it for two years. I don’t
have any loss since you buy it today.”
Dolores took the change, carried the bag and walked out of the store. The driver came over, “Let me
carry it.”
Dolores waved her hand, “No need.”
It was not a heavy thing anyway.
The driver escorted Dolores while walking through various stores. People were coming back and forth
so they were completely unaware that not far behind them, a man wearing a blue parka, a flat cap and
a black mask was secretly stalking them.
The goods of this store were all toys and accessories, which were not what she wanted. So, they went
to the second floor. When they were taking the elevator, Dolores felt that someone was looking at her.
She turned around and did not find anyone looking at her.
“What’s wrong?” the driver asked.
Dolores shook her head. She looked back again. Indeed, no one was looking at her.
She turned around with doubts in her mind. Soon, the elevator reached the second floor. She found
what she wanted on this floor so she quickened her pace, temporarily ignoring the feeling that
someone was spying on her just now.
She ran through the second floor and finally found the lace she wanted. The texture was delicate and
soft while the netting was light and thin. It was exactly what she wanted.
“This one is a bit expensive,” the owner of the store came over and said when Dolores was happy as
she managed to find what she wanted and was looking at it with absorbed attention.
As a fashion designer, Dolores had a wide knowledge of fabrics and knew the prices well. She asked
calmly, “This is sold based on the length, right?”
The boss nodded, “Yes, 1880 yuan for 33 cm.”
Dolores looked up at the boss and smiled, “Can’t it be cheaper?”
“This is the cheapest price. In the whole mall, my store is the only store that has it. It can’t be found in
other stores because nobody is willing to sell it due to its expensive price.”
Dolores pinched it in her hand and rubbed, “This is woven from silk so it is light and thin. Its light
transmittance is very good and it sounds delicate when one is holding it in the hand. However, the price
you mentioned is slightly too expensive.”
When the boss heard this, he knew that she must be a connoisseur as she could determine the
composition by just touching it with her hands. So, he did not dare to use the high selling price
anymore, “Well, how much do you want, I’ll give you a discount.”
“I may need a few metres.”
When the boss heard this, he thought inwardly that she must be a heavy buyer as she wanted to buy a
few metres at once. The boss grinned from ear to ear, “I’ll give you even more discount.”
It was not that Dolores was not willing to spend money but the price said by this boss at first was too
high. This was expensive but its price should not be that extraordinarily high, “1080 yuan for 33 cm.”
“It can’t be that low.” The boss’s smile on his face gradually disappeared and his face darkened.
“You don’t suffer any loss. If it is 1080 yuan for 33 cm, you earn 80 yuan for every 33 cm. I want to buy
six metres and as one metre is equal to 100 cm, it will be 18 multiplied by 33 cm which is about 600
cm, you can still earn 1440 yuan.”
The boss was really dumbfounded now. She actually knew the cost of buying this. She was really a
connoisseur so he should not haggle over the price anymore.
“Are you also running this kind of business?” If she was not running a fabric business, she would not
possibly know the price so clearly.
“Kind of.” Dolores did not say specifically what she did.
“Okay then, it’s sold to you.” The boss was not that hard to be dealt with as he thought that it would be
fine as long as he could earn some money. Anyway, not many people would buy such an expensive
fabric.
Someone who bought a few metres at once was considered a heavy buyer already.
Some imitations looked very similar to this one and the price was so low that he could not even sell the
genuine ones.
The boss gave Dolores a thumbs up, “You’re indeed an expert.”
After cutting it according to the size she wanted, the boss neatly folded it and put it in a delicate box.
Then, he put it into a bag and handed it to Dolores.
Dolores took out her wallet and pulled out a bank card and handed it to him, “There is no password.”
She did not have that much cash with her.
“Alright.” The boss took the card with both hands, walked to the counter and swiped it. After the receipt
came out, the boss took the card and handed the receipt to Dolores, “I have other fabrics here, do you
need them?”
Dolores took the card and put it into her wallet. She shook her head, “No need…By the way, do you
know if there is any place here that sells pearls?”
Dolores was not familiar with this place. In the past, she had her own way of purchasing goods and had
her own way of buying the jewellery on the clothes. It was mainly because she was now not in Country
A and City B so she could only ask local people here like them to get what she wanted.
“If you just want to buy one or two, you can go to the jewellery store. If you want more, you have to go
to the farm. You can pick and the price is affordable too.”
Dolores thought about it. She indeed needed a lot, “Do you know where are the farms?”
“Do you need a lot?” the boss asked.
Dolores nodded.
“How about you give me your address and tell me which kind do you want. I’ll go get it for you…” The
boss smiled, “I’ll get a little commission for that. In this way, you can save time and effort, what do you
think?”
Dolores thought for a while and agreed, “Can.”
Too much time would be wasted if she personally went to buy it herself. Since someone could get it for
her, she could save a lot of time by paying some money. Dolores wrote the specifications she wanted
on the paper and the address, “It will be best to deliver it to me tonight, I’m in a hurry.”
The boss assured, “Don’t worry, it will certainly be delivered to you tonight.”
The driver took the initiative to carry the things. Since all the things she wanted had been bought,
Dolores and the driver intended to go back.
When they took the elevator and reached the first floor, Dolores gave all the things to the driver, “You
go to the car first and wait for me there.”
The driver saw that people were coming back and forth here. He thought it was not safe and said, “I’ll
wait for you at the door.”
Dolores could not let him follow her to the washroom so she nodded.
She followed the signboard and found the location of the washroom. When she was about to go to the
door to look for the driver after using the washroom, her wrist was grabbed by someone out of the
blue.
