After knowing Who She Is They Kneeled novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149

You get it for free. Others don’t….

If the man’s lips were cold before, now they held a hint of a smile.

“They won’t.”

With that one word, the chill in the eyes of Adrian, Brookford’s resident unattainable beauty, faded by more than half. “Ruby, pay her.”

Ruby finally let out a couple of “oh”s and quickly pulled out his bank card.

“Pay extra.”

Adrian’s voice was quiet, but it couldn’t hide the air of authority he’d gained from years in power.

Annelise glanced at him, then at the compliant Ruby. “A friend of yours?”

Adrian didn’t hide it. “A coworker from one of the branch offices.”

“Right!

Coworkers!”

Ruby straightened his posture.

Annelise didn’t seem to care. “We don’t take credit cards. Online payment is fine. You can scan this code.”

Ruby glanced back and to the right. “How much should I send?”

“You ask your friend how much to pay for your own treatment?” Annelise asked with a teasing smile.

Ruby immediately sent over ten thousand dollars. That shouldn’t be too much, but not too little either.

Ruby had carefully considered this number, keeping it within the typical price range for this kind of treatment.

Annelise’s eyebrow twitched when she heard the payment notification. “Feel free to bring more friends like him around.”

Despite saying that, Annelise refunded nine thousand, nine hundred dollars. She tapped the blackboard from before with her right hand. “Chiropractic. One hundred.”

Ruby was shocked again. “One hundred?

Chapter 149

As a Stroacian, this was completely foreign to him. Back home, it would never be this cheap!

Even at a small corner pharmacy, antibiotics would cost several hundred.

“Oh! My God!” Ruby kept shouting.

Madam Whitman, who had just come in after seeing off a neighbor, thought something was wrong with him. “An- nelise, is he in pain after the adjustment? That shouldn’t be.”

“He’s just amazed at how profound our ancient medical traditions are.” Annelise started to help the old woman with her grocery basket.

But the old woman blocked her with a hand. “You go tally today’s accounts and see what herbal remedies we’re short on. I’ll have a word with your boyfriend.”

Ruby stopped shouting, his face a mask of confusion. Boyfriend?

Annelise then realized her previous lie wasn’t so perfect.

Her usually playful eyes froze for a second, and she was just about to speak.

The man’s pleasant voice came over, with a faint hint of laughter in it. “Alright, Grandma.”

Ruby was so shocked his jaw almost hit the floor!

His expressions were so dramatic, he could have been an actor in a theater troupe!

It’s no wonder he was acting like that. His boss had never shown any interest in women.
