“Oh, sorry.” She said releasing me.
“It’s fine.” I said rubbing my arm trying to get some feeling back into it.
Don led us back to a private room decorated in the same color palette. Diana sat down on one of the black leather arm chairs. I took the matching one.
“Would you ladies like anything to eat or drink?” Don asked.
“I’d like coffee. You know the way I like it,” She said crossing her ankles.
“Um . . . Ice water.” I stuttered. I would never be a politician.
I couldn’t get over how helpful and kind Don was. I guess that’s what he was paid to do. Be nice and get people to buy stuff.
I also couldn’t get over Diana’s power. The Pulmer’s have big money. I’m not talking Bill Gates big money. I’m talking bigger. I didn’t know a single person back in California that could even begin to compare to the Pulmer’s money and power. Not even a celebrity.
Don came back with Diana’s coffee and my ice water.
Don showed us design after design. I didn’t like any of them. Diana got three purses and matching wallets to go with them for herself.
“Are you sure you don’t want anything?” Diana asked for the millionth time.
“I’m positive. Don’t waste money on something I don’t want.”
“Alright, maybe you’ll like something at Coach.” She said handing Don the money for her items.
“Maybe.” I said. But I honestly doubted it.
Don came back with Diana’s things boxed and bagged. He also held her change.
“Here’s your bags and your change back.” Don said.
“Thank you Don. Did you take your tip out of the payment?”
“No ma’am.” He said blushing.
“Here you go then.” She said handing him back some bright colored Euros. I quickly tried to convert the amount in my head and was shocked with the result. I must have done my math wrong.
His smile was wide.
“Thank you so much Diana.”
“You’re welcome Don. Don’t spend it all in one place.” She joked.
“I won’t.” he said. As he disappeared Diana dumped her full cup of coffee into a potted plant.
We walked out of the store. Diana put her bags in the back of the car.
“Did you seriously just tip him a thousand dollars? We were only in there an hour.” I asked.
“Yes, I did. He’s always really nice to me and goes out of his way to help me.”
“Oh, that makes so much sense.” I said sarcastically.
She laughed. “Come on lets go across the street to Coach.”
“Alright.” I said even though I would just rather go home.
She grabbed my hand.
