Emmeline smiled. She knew Benjamin’s appearance made him popular with the ladies, just like Abel.
“Give him the latest designs you have,” she said to the sales clerks.
The sales clerks quickly took Benjamin’s measurements and went away. Soon, they returned with two different suits.
“Sir, why don’t you try this one?”
“Sir, this one will definitely suit you!”
The two sales clerks glared at each other angrily.
“I was here first! This customer is mine!”
“He’s mine! Didn’t you see I returned with the suit first?”
“Alright, alright, we’ll try both of them, and we’ll pick the more suitable one,” Emmeline said.
The two sales clerks calmed down a little.
“Miss, your boyfriend is really handsome.”
“That’s right. He’s more handsome than all the celebrities.”
The two sales clerks tried to flatter Emmeline.
“He’s not my boyfriend. He’s my elder brother,” Emmeline said with a smile.
“He’s your brother?”
“Oh my!”
The two sales clerks realized they stood a chance.
“Ahem,” the young lady said, “Don’t forget you’re already married.”
The middle-aged sales clerk blushed in embarrassment.
Emmeline took the suit in her hands and handed it to Benjamin. “Try this one first.”
Benjamin went into the fitting room with the suit, and the two sales clerks came to their senses.
Three minutes later, Benjamin came out of the fitting room.
The three women were pleasantly surprised.
The two sales clerks gawked at Benjamin, while Emmeline’s eyes sparkled with delight.
She knew that Benjamin was handsome, but the suit made him more handsome than ever.
Benjamin smiled when he saw how the three women were regarding him. “What do you think, Emma?” he asked.
Emmeline nodded violently. “This looks perfect!”
“I’ll pick this one then,” Benjamin said.
He was not very interested in fashion anyway. If Emmeline liked it, he would pick it.
The middle-aged sales clerk was jumping with excitement. She did not expect to close a deal so quickly.
“Sir, why don’t you take it off and I’ll wrap it up for you?”
“Mm.” Benjamin nodded.
“Benjamin, you haven’t tried the other one,” Emmeline said and pointed at the suit in the young sales clerk’s hands.
“Alright!” Benjamin took the suit and went into the fitting room.
He came out a few minutes later, and the three women were equally pleasantly surprised.
“You’re a supermodel, Benjamin. Everything looks good on you. We’ll take this
one too,” Emmeline said happily.
“Whatever you say,” Benjamin said.
He was about to go back to the fitting room to change out of the suit when Emmeline said, “Why don’t you take off the tag and keep wearing this?”
“That works.” Benjamin nodded.
He had thrown away his previous suit jacket, and he was wearing only a black silk shirt.
The weather was slightly chilly, so it was better for him to be wearing a jacket.
The sales clerk helped him remove the tag at the sleeve, while the other sales clerk returned with a bag with the other suit.
Emmeline went to the cashier to pay. Benjamin did not insist on paying. After all, Adelmar Group was paying her credit card bills.
“Let’s go,” Emmeline said after paying.
When she turned her head, she noticed that Benjamin’s tie was crooked.
She put the cup in her hand away and helped Benjamin straighten the tie. After that, she took his hand.
Suddenly, she noticed a young woman staring at them.
Emmeline and Benjamin were stunned.
Of all the people to bump into, they had to bump into Janie.
It looked like she had been there for some time.
In her hands was a shopping bag with the same brand as Benjamin’s suit.
It was obvious why she was there.
Oh no! Emmeline thought and pulled her hand away.
“I didn’t expect to bump into you here, Janie,” Emmeline said with an awkward smile.
