"I've done my part; now it's time for you to keep your promise and go buy me ten Hermès bags!"
Ellinor flipped through the workbook a bit and verified that all the answers were correct, "How can you prove that you did this yourself?"
Veronica frowned a little unhappily, "How else do you want me to prove it? I wrote all the answers; you can compare them with my other books!"
Ellinor chuckled softly, "I'm not asking if you wrote these answers yourself; I'm asking if you calculated these answers yourself? Did you cheat?"
Veronica blinked uncomfortably, "Who cheated? I was alone in my room answering this workbook yesterday; even if I wanted to cheat, there's nobody for me to copy from!"
Ellinor scoffed lightly, "Even if there's nobody to copy from, you could still search for answers online."
Veronica turned her face away guiltily, no longer looking at Ellinor, "What internet? I don't have a computer in my room!"
"No computer, but you've got a smartphone."
"Ellinor! Are you trying to break your promise?"
Ellinor slapped the workbook onto Veronica, "I wouldn't do such a thing; as long as you can prove you worked these problems out yourself, I'll take you to the Hermès store right now, so you can pick any bag you want!"
Veronica was very tempted, "How do you want me to prove it to you?"
Ellinor said, "Give me your phone; I'll hold on to it for the time being. Go get another workbook, redo it in front of me, let me check it when you're done, get half of it right, and you win."
Veronica hesitated, and her eyebrows knitted together, "This is you breaking your promise; I've already finished, yet you want me to redo it?"
