Lola looked at him hesitantly. "Uhm… can I not tell you?"
Leo looked at her cutesy expression and got even more confused. She needed so much money but she couldn't even say what it was for? Just how weird could this girl get? "If you need so much money, how about you ask your parents for some?" He suggested.
When he saw her expression collapse into a sad scowl, he finally understood. He probably shouldn't mention the parents. He racked his brain for what to say quickly before she started crying again. "How about... Uh… you sell something?"
Lola was taken aback by the suggestion too. "Sell something?" Would that give her that much money?
"Yes. Yes. It's a brilliant idea, right?" Even Leo was proud at himself for thinking about it. "If you have valuable things like antiques or jewelry, you can sell them and get some of the money you need."
"Jewelry…." Lola remembered something and touched her chest. 'Mommy's necklace!'
