“Adele, why are you so full of ulterior motives? Since Stella isn’t feeling well, you’re following her example? It’s not unusual for a store to sell out of everything. Can’t you just go to a few more stores? Is that a valid excuse?”
“Stop making excuses for yourself. If all else fails, can’t you just use toilet paper? Your parents and relatives are waiting for you. Can’t you be a little less arrogant?”

Charles looked at me thoughtfully. I was about to ask him to drive to a restroom first. Luna started crying again.
Her diaper was no longer holding and the urgent priority was to take care of the child.
When we went to the nearest mall to buy diapers, the store clerk pointed to a figure in the distance and said that Charles had bought out the entire store’s supply.
He held a black card in his hand, casually instructing the store clerks to carry the diapers.
“Yes, we want this one too. Take it all and load it into my car.”
“Money isn’t an issue. The problem is making my boss happy.”
“Who is your boss?”
“Theo Baron, the president of Baron Group. Do you know him?”
“Mr. Baron just had a son. The cost of a few diapers is nothing. Just do as I say.”
