Chapter Twenty

Alex's POV

"This will look great on you" Jasmine said again as she took the 14th or was it 15th cloth, I've lost count.

"These clothes are too much Jasmine" I said.

"They look great, it will be such a pity if you don't buy them" she said she kept on selecting more clothes.

"I don't wear these kinds of fashionable clothes Jasmine, the main cloth I wear is suits so there's no need for all these."

"I guess you'll just have to change your theme of dressing."

"So you want me to start dressing on weird looking tops and ripped pants to work and be looking like gangsters?" I asked.

"Well, it's not against the hospital ethics" she replied.

"Unbelievable" I muttered.

"Since you are so caught up with suits, let's get that" she said pointing at a red suit. "You can wear it for tomorrow's party and I'll wear my red dress."

"Why should wear the same color of clothes?" I asked.

"Come on, it's gonna look good" she said as she took the suit

"Look at that Alex, it's a matching tops for couple" she said as she quickly went to the stand where the tops are and I followed from behind.

"Let's get one please" she said.

"Why should we? We aren't couples"

"But it's beautiful" she said.

"Forget it, we aren't buying it" I said and I turned to leave but she held my hand.

"Come on Alex, don't be grumpy and let's buy it, please please" she pleaded trying to make a cute face and I almost laughed.

"Fine" I said.

"Yes! Thanks Alex" she said as she quickly got the couples t-shirt.

"But this is the last thing we are buying here, so let's go" I said and she nodded.

"Sure, but let's change to the couple tshirts in the changing room" she said.

"Why should we?"

"Because it's fun" she said as she grabbed my hand and pushed me into the changing rooms with one of the couples t-shirt.

We both changed to the couple tshirts and walked out of the section after paying for the clothes.

"The total money I've been spending for the past months doesn't even add up to half of the money you made me spend today" I said.

"That means you've been living a poor life when you are actually very rich."

"It's not a poor life, my cost of living is just on the normal range" I replied.

"Well that's because you aren't married yet, by the time you are, your cost of living will be skyhigh"

"And who said I am ever going to get married" I said and she stopped to look at me.

"So you're gonna remain single for the rest of your life?" She asked.

"If possible yes."

"It's not possible" she said.

"And what makes you so sure?" I asked

"Because the human heart always fall in love, no matter how hard your heart it, someone will definitely emerge to soften it up one day and when that happens to you, I am gonna remind you that I told you so."

"Trust me, it won't happen to me, I've spent my years ignoring girls and focusing on my ambition and it will continue that way" I said.

"Let's make a bet then, if you ever fall in love with a girl, you owe me a trip any country of my choice."

"And if I don't?" I asked.

"I'll take you shopping?"

"No you'll also sponsor my trip to any country of my choice" I said

"Deal" she said.

"You should start saving up money to take me on a trip" I said and she scoffed.

"Let's wait till then but now, I'm really hungry and according to this pamphlet, there's a restaurant in the fifth floor, let's go" she said.

"Are you kidding? We can just go back to the hotel and eat there than pay a fortune just for some delicacies here" I said

"Come on Alex, you have money, spend it" she said as she grabbed my hand again and we went to the elevator.
