Getting Ripped Off at My Brother's Supermarket
As I stepped out of my older brother's newly opened supermarket, the alarm suddenly rang.
The sales assistant grimly reached out and grabbed me, "Miss, you haven't paid yet."
I remembered that my buttons were made of metal, which triggered the alarm. After patiently explaining and easing the atmosphere, I said, "The owner of this supermarket is my older brother. He'll pay the bill."
The sales assistant scoffed. "Your brother's the boss? Why not say he's your husband instead? You stole and refused to admit it. Pay up or I'll call the police immediately," she said and crumpled the receipt into a ball before throwing it at my face.
I endured the humiliation and unfolded it.
A baby pacifier for 100,000 dollars.
Two packs of baby wet wipes for 200,000 dollars.
Security personnel's hush fee, 300,000 dollars.
All of the miscellaneous expenses added up to exactly one million dollars.
I laughed in anger. "One million dollars? Why don't you just rob a bank? Go and get Chad Surrey. I want to see how I ended up with such a heartless brother."
She rolled her eyes. "Don't pretend if you can't afford it, thief. Is Mr. Surrey someone you can see whenever you want?"
When my parents came to help me, I said, "Only one of us exists in this family. It's either me or her."
