He must have turned down too many women in the past. Now he had to pay for it. Evelyn was his punishment.
After they reached the base of the mountain, they handed the tea leaves they picked to the workers and went into the tea house together.
The air in the tea house was thick with a pleasant smell.
He took Evelyn's hand and led her to sit down in front of a tea specialist.
“What flavor do you want? I'll ask the tea expert to brew us a pot."
Evelyn looked at the different selections in the room and replied, "The kind we picked just now."
“Great. Could you brew up some oolong tea for us?" Sheffield asked directly.
However, the tea specialist seemed to be in a dilemma.
"Sir, the top tea leaves here cost more than $50, 000 a kilo, and there is no tasting it first..."
Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said, "One kilo then."
"Oh, okay. Just wait for a minute." The tea expert went into the shop, either to get the tea or to call the boss.
Evelyn shot a glance at Sheffield and thought, ‘As a vice department director of a hospital, his monthly bonus and dividends, combined with his salary, should be way less than the worth of a kilo of this tea.'
So, she said to him, "You don't need to feel uncomfortable about the price. Since you treated me to dinner and snacks last time, consider this my treat."
Sheffield felt wounded.
“Do I look that poor?" he asked, distressed.
"Yes." She nodded and said to him in all seriousness, "So, stop wearing such expensive clothes and accessories. You should save money for your wedding."
She had noticed that he had been wearing luxury brands for the past three days. Even the watch on his left wrist was worth a million dollars. His salary could be no more than tens of grand a month, which was not enough for him to squander away Like this
Sheffield scratched his short hair and said, "No, it's not like that. I do have enough money for my wedding..."
“Do you rely on your parents? To tell the truth, I am not in any position to scold you; I depend on my parents too." Everything she had today was given by her parents. She was just born rich.
“There are different kinds of dependence. Your family is rich, so there is nothing wrong with you spending your parents’ money. There are young adults, whose parents don't make much money; but they still live off their family's earnings. That should be condemned that kind of behavior. He never spent his father's money.
" Sheffield scorned
Evelyn Listened to his smart words and thought it made sense. For the first time in her life, she no longer felt guilty about spending so much of her parents’ money.
A woman in her forties or fifties walked towards them from the shop.
She looked like the store owner. The lady was dressed very differently, and was followed closely by the tea expert who had a cup in his hand.
The proprietress looked at the two youngsters up and down with a smile.
