The Tide of Fortune novel Chapter 9

At the men's store, Reginaldo has already tried on the tuxedo and is at the checkout paying for his purchase. The credit card has been swiped, and the purchase has been approved.

Reginaldo smiles satisfied, the credit is real.

The awful seller approaches with extreme surprise, "What happened here? The purchase was approved?"

The intern replies with debauchery, "The terminal beeped approving it, are you deaf?"

"But how is that possible? Marcio, a credit card has to belong to the holder with ID!"

Reginaldo interrupts him sternly, "Shut up, you idiot! You tried to belittle me for my looks, but now you've lost a sale! And I'm very happy about the commission Marcio will get. Now get out of my way, I won't call the manager to complain."

The salesman takes the hint and walks away.

The lady clerk carefully puts the suit away in a large bag.

"Thank you very much, young lady. Marcio, in the future I want to reward you for this kindness." Reginaldo affirms like a sovereign.

Marcio is surprised, "You're welcome, sir! I just did my job."

Reginaldo smiles lightly, "You certainly did more than the ordinary. I won't forget you."

Reginaldo picks up his tuxedo and hurriedly leaves.

At the Ferreira house, Laura doesn't want to challenge her parents as openly as Eduardo wanted.

"Ed, you are getting ahead of yourself. Like I told you, I want to have fun at the party."

Eduardo repeats stubbornly, "Let's have fun rubbing it in everyone's face that you're mine."

"And when a reporter asks a neighbor about you, he'll tell him that my husband is actually someone else."

"Your neighbors are discreet; otherwise they would have already told someone that you are married. Come on, Laura, have a backbone, and let's fight for our love!" For Eduardo, everything has an easy solution.

"And are you sure you will support my quirks with your books?" Laura teases him, "Because be sure that I will be disinherited."
