Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1001

It was a clear and sunny weekend, but Zuko was not around, so time felt particularly slow for Lina.

She sat at the entryway, feeling bored and absentmindedly nibbling on watermelon. The sound of a car horn broke the silence of the empty alley, its loud honk resonating crisply in the air.

Lina was taken aback and quickly ran out to see.

A striking red convertible sports car caught Lina's attention at the alley's entrance. Its sleek and dynamic body glistened under the sunlight, emanating a unique radiance.

As the car came to a stop, the driver, a person with wavy hair resembling a celebrity, removed her sunglasses and greeted Lina with a beaming smile. "Ready to have some fun today? Hop in!"

Lina's surprise and delight were evident as she exclaimed, almost screaming, "Gia? Is that really you?!"

This version of Gia was completely different from the one she knew. Until last week, Gia had been a very low-key student, dressing modestly and carrying herself in a reserved manner.

Then she was absent from class, and when Lina sent her a message, the only reply she received was a vague response: [I took sick leave.]

Today...

"Missy, are you coming or not?"

Lina smiled and eagerly hopped into Gia's luxury car after informing her parents.

The interior of the car was also extremely luxurious. It must have been expensive.

Lina took a deep breath as she glanced at her T-shirt and jeans, then at Gia's exquisite dress, high heels, gemstone necklace, and pearl bracelet. Suddenly, she felt like Gia had transformed into a swan while she remained an ugly duckling.

In the back of the car sat Gia's designer handbag—it seemed to be from a brand that required purchasing multiple items before being eligible to buy a bag.

Lina felt a bit dazed, unsure of what had transpired in these few days to bring about such a dramatic change in Gia.

Gia smiled. "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

They often visited the place, but they would quicken their pace without saying a word every time they passed by Glamtique Plaza. This kind of place where a pair of socks could cost thousands of dollars was something they never dared to imagine.

Lina was stunned, and her next subconscious action was to hold Gia back by her hand. However, Gia did not stop. Instead, she pulled her in with a smile.

"Are you crazy..." Lina whispered, staring at her, "What are we doing here?"

"Shopping, of course! What else could it be?"

Lina could not believe it. "Gia, did you win the lottery?"

Gia smiled without saying anything and pointed at a pair of high heels to ask Lina if she liked them.

Lina was uneasy, but all the sales associates showed a standard professional smile and a polite bow when they saw Gia.

"Lina, try on these shoes!" Gia entered a luxury boutique and excitedly picked out clothes and shoes for her. "And this one, this one too. Try them all!"
