Book Transmigration: I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile, but Everyone Noticed Me!-Chapter 6
Chapter 6
Linda’s face was burning as she felt the scrutiny of the store attendants. She was expected to walk to the cash register with the heap of items in her hands, but how could she afford all of this?
Under the watchful eyes of Audrey and the store attendants, she could only muster the courage to walk towards the cash register.
The cashier noticed her approach and asked, “Miss, would you like us to pack these items for you?”
“No, not now,” Linda replied.
Thinking quickly, Linda arranged the items she had selected onto the counter and began pointing at each one, explaining what she found unsatisfactory.
“The chain length on this bag is too short. It won’t be comfortable to carry, so I’ll pass.”
In the end, Linda only purchased a wallet.
She believed that by doing this, others would think she didn’t buy the other items due to product issues. However, she was completely unaware that her intentions had been seen through.
Many of the store attendants felt disdainful inside. If it weren’t for their professionalism, they might have scolded her already. Who was she to pretend to be a big spender when she clearly couldn’t afford it? All these items are thoroughly checked before leaving the warehouse, and their quality is undoubtedly reliable.
Audrey didn’t expect Linda to take this course of action in the end, and she couldn’t help but show a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
Audrey didn’t expect Linda to take this course of action in the end, and she couldn’t help but show a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
Standing not far away, Evans and Abner witnessed the entire process.
Evans had no expression on his face, but a barely noticeable smile glinted in his eyes.
He turned to the person beside him and asked, “Is that your sister?”
Abner looked at him and replied, “Yes, do you know her?”
Evans said casually, “I saw her once at your birthday party. She seems different from before.”
Abner had a similar feeling. He felt completely indifferent towards this stepsister, but from what he knew, she wasn’t a likable person.
She enjoyed stealing the spotlight from Charlotte. At Abner’s birthday party, she had attended once, behaving like a peacock that wanted everyone to see her.
After that occasion, Abner never held a birthday party at home again, nor would he invite Audrey.
“Let’s go,” Abner took the lead in stepping away, ready to leave.
Evans didn’t say anything and also prepared to leave.
Linda took the gift bag handed to her by the store attendant. She had no intention of staying any longer in this store. She turned around and was ready to leave.
But then, she spotted two figures not far away. A hint of delight flashed in her eyes. Without hesitation, she grabbed the still dazed Audrey and rushed towards them
“Mr. Lance!” Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Linda called out to them.
Only then did Audrey see the two of them.
The original host’s eldest brother was top-notch in terms of looks, temperament, and family background.
The original host in the novel was exiled to Africa because of him. The sudden sight of the eldest of the Lance Family made her feel a little apprehensive.
But since they had already seen each other, she had to greet them, or her trip to Africa might start earlier than planned.
“Big Brother.” Audrey forced herself to call out.
As for the person next to him, Audrey couldn’t quite place him and didn’t dare to speak rashly.
Audrey discreetly assessed the situation. The man was exceptional in appearance, emanating an air of noble aloofness. He was likely a person of great importance. However, Audrey didn’t have any memories about this person from the original host of this body.
[As expected, all handsome men are friends with handsome men!]
Evans and Abner were slightly stunned.
Just as the two of them were feeling puzzled, another line of words appeared above Audrey’s head.
[Each one is colder than the other. No matter how hot the weather is, the two of them don’t even need to open the sky to wither.]
Evans was speechless.
Abner: …
If it happened once, they might have suspected that their eyes were playing tricks on them. But twice was beyond coincidence.
So…
What was going on?
To confirm their suspicions, both of them focused their gaze on Linda, who was standing beside Audrey. However, they didn’t notice anything unusual about her.
It seemed that only Audrey’s head could display these strange subtitles.
Linda had rushed over earlier, and now that she saw both of them looking at Audrey, she felt a bit annoyed. However, now that they were looking at her together, a glimmer of hope kindled in her heart.
Blushing, Linda’s voice softened, “Mr. Lance, Mr. Hill, I didn’t expect to meet both of you here.”
Upon hearing Linda’s address, Audrey immediately recognized who they were.
Evans Hill, the head of the Hill family, the city’s foremost aristocratic family. He was Abner’s best friend. In the novel, he was a mysterious figure who appeared infrequently but would always cause a commotion whenever he did.
