Chapter 1305 If you can't handle one package, then two
Harding's wife was wealthy, but she was domineering, causing Harding to often use the term "duchess" to describe her formidable neurotic character.
After entering the political arena, Warren Harding's status gradually improved, wealth was no longer important to Harding, and he no longer needed Florence as before.
However, in order to protect his reputation, Warren Harding and Florence did not divorce. Florence also knew about Harding's affairs, and quarrels often broke out between the couple.
As a result, Warren Harding went home less and less often. There was a bedroom in his office, which became a frequent tryst place for Warren Harding and his women.
Like Rhodesian hotels around the world, the Rhodesian Hotel in New York has the largest Eterno store in New York next to the lobby on the first floor.
In this era, "Iteno" can be said to be the number one luxury brand recognized by women all over the world. Whether in London or Paris, women are crazy about the new seasonal products launched by "Iteno" every year.
In March this year, Itno just launched nylon stockings, which are called the "second skin" of women, and quickly caused women all over the world to go crazy. People call nylon stockings "as thin as spider silk and as strong as steel wire."
"As beautiful as silk". Because many women at the lower class could not buy stockings, they had to draw lines on their legs with a pen and pretend to be stockings.
Itno in New York has sold a total of 1.25 million pairs of nylon stockings since March this year. Every time it arrives, it will be sold out within a few days. Many women have to buy enough stockings in order to get them.
Pay a high deposit.
Warren Harding's wife Florence was a big fan of nylon stockings.
Because of her wealthy family and customers, every time a new product from Eterno appeared, the sales manager would always call Florence personally to notify her, or deliver it directly to her door for Florence to choose.
But most of the time, Florence still likes to shop in stores, and she enjoys the envious eyes of other women.
"Madam, we have four new patterns of stockings this time. I have left a dozen of each for you. You must know that this is not easy. Several ladies called me in advance. I only informed you."
In the Tenno store, the sales manager Chris is eloquent. If Chris's service satisfies Florence, then Florence will be very generous.
It's not easy, some people are rich but at the same time they are stingy.
Florence has never been like this. She is a person who enjoys life. She has been pampered since she was a child. She has almost no shortcomings except that she is not pretty.
Of course, for Warren Harding, the "Duchess" must have many shortcomings. This does not mean that Florence is a bad person. You must know that people's feelings when they are passionately in love and after marriage are completely different things.
"Thank you, Chris, has the diamond watch I asked for arrived?" Florence is wealthy and spends more than 100,000 US dollars in Itno every season.
In addition to producing fashionable clothing, Itno also produces various accessories, watches, bags, and men's products.
One hundred thousand dollars sounds like a lot, but in fact it is quite normal for luxury jewelry. The most expensive diamond watch produced by Itno is over one hundred thousand dollars.
"Sorry madam, the watch you customized is very rare. The customization cycle is more than three months. I send a telegram to Johannesburg every week. Once the production is completed, it will be sent to New York as quickly as possible." Chrisman
With a smile on her face, she casually took Florence to the luggage counter.
Eterno's most popular handbags among women are all kinds of handbags. It launches more than a dozen new seasonal styles every year. Three days ago, a batch of the latest handbags just arrived. Florence's eyes immediately lit up when she saw them.
, the clerks were very familiar with Florence, and they knew that Florence liked the feeling of being surrounded by others, so as soon as Florence arrived at the luggage counter, several clerks immediately gathered around to serve Florence.
.
"This, this, this - except these three, bring me one of every color." Florence was so angry that ordinary people could not imagine the happiness of rich people.
There is a joke in later generations. Someone saved money and bought a pair of luxury brand leather shoes. After wearing them twice, they accidentally rubbed them and then went to a specialty store for repairs.
As a result, the specialty store does not provide repair services at all, because usually people who buy such shoes will throw them away after wearing them a few times, or shelv them.
The same is true for Florence. If Florence uses the same handbag more than twice, it will be almost a shame for Florence, so Florence usually buys handbags as soon as she buys them.
A lot.
"These two things you don't need to buy, Mr. Warren just bought them yesterday -" a clerk reminded kindly.
"Adeline, shut your mouth!" Chris didn't have time to stop her.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Adeline knew she had said something wrong and was at a loss as to how to make amends.
Chris looked at Florence with an embarrassed face. In fact, many people knew about Mr. Warren Harding, but no one had ever mentioned it in front of Florence.
All the smiles on Florence's face disappeared. She signed the check with a straight face and left without saying a word.
Even if you are angry, you still have to buy it. You have to live your life, so how can you get away from it?
When she got home, Florence was still angry. She sat in the living room until evening, without eating supper or turning on the light, waiting for Warren Harding to come home.
It was not until 11 o'clock in the evening that Mr. Warren Harding returned home. He smelled of alcohol, staggered, and had a faint smell of perfume.
Florence could smell it, it was a perfume produced by Itno. The raw material of this perfume was taken from a unique plant in southern Africa, and the smell was very unique.
"During Prohibition, you could actually come home drunk without even looking at what time it was, so you might as well not come back." Florence was as full of complaints as many women who stayed alone in their empty rooms.
In this way, men will be less willing to go home.
Running a family really requires wisdom.
Warren Harding said nothing, and handed his hat and coat to the maid with a sneer. He went upstairs without even looking at Florence.
"Stop, where have you been? Which woman are you fooling around with?" Florence finally exploded. Adeline's words were still echoing in her mind: Mr. Warren just bought two bags yesterday——
Not for Florence.
"What are you crazy about? I don't want to quarrel with you -" Warren Harding was furious. Normally, Florence would not be so direct.
Although Florence's wealth is no longer important to Warren Harding, as a senator and a presidential candidate who is about to run on behalf of the Republican Party, Warren Harding still attaches great importance to his image.
If one house is not equal, how can the whole world be equal? Even his own wife can't fix it, and the Republican Party bosses will not really trust Warren Harding.
In fact, Warren Harding's ability is not qualified for the position of president. Compared with the terminally ill Wilson, Warren Harding's qualifications are mediocre. His opportunity to serve as a senator is all due to Warren Harding's long-standing influence on the Republican Party.
loyalty.
"I don't want to quarrel with you, but please don't make your romantic affairs known to everyone. You don't have to be shameless, but I still want it!" Florence shouted hoarsely. The reason why she was willing to be with Warren...
Harding got married because he was attracted to the young Warren Harding, but unexpectedly, the marriage did not bring happiness to Florence, but brought endless harm to Florence.
When Harding was young, he was a handsome and graceful man. He was tall, well-proportioned and tall; his handsome face had the temperament and appearance of an admired actor; his hair was light yellow and his eyes were crystal blue, with his unique charm.
His charm makes up for his lack of dark skin; thick black eyebrows and plump lips, coupled with a beautiful head, look like a carefully carved Roman head.
"Shut up, crazy woman, look at how crazy you are now. Where is the image of a senator's wife? You should know yourself!" Warren Harding is really a scumbag. What he means is: you are not worthy now.
I, therefore, should just keep my mouth shut.
"Oh, you think I'm not good enough for you now, don't you? Then why don't you marry Carrie Philippe? Why don't you marry your friend's daughter Nan Britten? You and that Bitchi actually have a relationship.
Child, you should be ashamed of yourself, look at yourself, except for a good skin, how can you look like a senator?" Florence's "Duchess" was not given for free. On quarrels, Warren Ha
It's definitely not as noisy as Florence.
Of course, this was mainly because Warren Harding felt guilty and did not dare to make a big fuss with Florence.
In the Senate, Warren Harding was known for his eloquence and quick thinking.
A person who can become a senator must have more than just a wealthy father-in-law and loyalty to the Republican Party.
"Ha, you think I don't want to? I continue to live with you out of pity for you. You'd better shut up right now." Warren Harding avoided the important and chose the easy. Carrie Philippe and Nan Britton were both.
Warren Harding dared not marry a friend's wife or a friend's daughter.
Although it's normal for politicians to have a few love affairs, it's rare to have one like Warren Harding.
"Are you pitying me? Are you pitying me? Without the support of my father, you could have walked out of Marion (a small town in Ohio), you could have become a senator, and you relied on my father's wealth to get to where you are today. Now,
Instead, it was because you pity me that you stayed with me, shameless!" Florence finally understood Warren Harding's face now, although it was a little late, but it was okay.
Separated from Warren Harding, Florence still had wealth.
