“Vin? Why are you here?” Harvey exclaimed in astonishment. Vinson cleared his throat. “Coincidentally, I was on the way. I thought that I’d pick you up.” “I can drive myself there. Why don’t you go ahead? I’m sending Ms. Moore to the shopping mall. I’ll be there in a jiffy.” “Can’t you walk such a short distance alone?” Vinson gave Arielle a cold stare. A deep scowl graced Arielle’s forehead upon his brusque words. He must have been a saint in his past life.
How on earth does Vinson have friends when he’s so short-tempered? Arielle pouted before she turned towards Harvey with a smile. “Go ahead; I can walk over myself. You don’t have to send me off.” “But—” “Stop dallying! Let’s go!” Vinson urged again. Vinson exited the car and dragged Harvey in. Next, he shoved his own assistant out of the car.
Arielle looked at Vinson with confusion. “What’s the matter? Can’t you go shopping with another person? Why must Harvey be the one who sends you there?” Vinson replied nonchalantly. “No… I don’t need anyone to—” Before Arielle could finish her sentence, Vinson ordered the driver to start the car. The car sped off into the distance, leaving Arielle and the assistant behind.
Vinson’s assistant had a personality that was a stark contrast to Vinson himself. The assistant wore a bright smile and a cheerful demeanor. “Ms. Moore, it is an honor to keep you company whilst you shop. What brands are you looking at?” The assistant glanced at Arielle as he spoke. Arielle returned his gaze with a sharp and cold look. Under her glare, the tone of his voice dropped until it was as soft as a mouse. In the end, the assistant coughed awkwardly.
“I won’t interrupt your shopping. I’ll follow after you to ensure your safety,” he said. “I said that I don’t need someone to keep me company. You should find Vinson or return to the company. I wish to shop alone,” she insisted. Seeing Arielle’s insistence, the assistant left in a hurry.
She continued to choose the clothes in earnest. Since it’s Feature, I don’t have to touch the material. I just have to pick a style that catches my eye. The shop attendant scowled when she noticed that Arielle refused to leave. She even has the audacity to continue shopping! Her canvas shoes look so dirty and ugly. How dare she even step foot into the store! How bold!
The shop attendant ridiculed Arielle in her thoughts as she trailed after Arielle. It looked like she was afraid that Arielle would steal the clothes. However, Arielle was someone who wasn’t easily intimidated by such rude attendants. Despite being aware of the negative thoughts that the shop attendant harbored towards her, Arielle maintained her calm composure.
She remained unbothered and continued to pick the clothes at her own pace. Anyway, I’m not here to bring the shop attendant home. I’m here to buy some clothes. Right at that moment, a high-pitched yet familiar voice echoed from the entrance. “Hey, have the new seasonal pieces arrived yet? Do you have the shirt that I reserved during my last visit?”
