Sophia didn't particularly enjoy cotton candy. Hence, she didn't eat much of it after walking around for a while. What Alexander bought was a piece of cute, rabbit-shaped cotton candy. It attracted plenty of attention as Sophia wandered the street.
In response, Sophia glanced at Alexander and arched her eyebrow. “I'm sorry, but my husband's busy.”
In response, Sophia glanced at Alexander and arched her eyebrow. “I'm sorry, but my husband's busy.”
Not once did Alexander utter a word during that exchange.
The store owner couldn't help but turn to Alexander. Just as she was about to say something, she realized he had been staring at Sophia the whole time and never once paid any attention to her. Fine. I guess I'll back off. Honestly, I shouldn't have tortured myself with sights of lovey-dovey couples by coming out today.
“In that case, I apologize for disturbing you two. Oh yeah, if you're still interested, you can come here alone or with your friends. We still won't charge you!”
Afraid that Sophia wouldn't accept the advertisement booklet, the store owner stuffed it into the former's hand. Then, she lifted her dress and trotted into her shop.
Just as she arrived inside, she was surrounded by her employees. “How did it go? Did the lady agree to your proposal?”
The store owner sighed. “No. Honestly, I shouldn't have even hoped it would work because they clearly weren't ordinary folks. Earlier, I saw the watch on her wrist. It was Lucent's custom-made Starlight from three years ago. Usually, you can choose the watch face and strap, but even then, the normal version will still cost over three hundred thousand. I've never seen the color and image on her dial before. Hence, it must've been custom-made. I estimate it's worth at least twice as much as the original version.” If she can wear a watch that costs at least over six hundred thousand so casually, it's hard to tell how much their clothes are worth in total. I should've known it was impossible for us to invite affluent individuals like them to our humble shop.
When the employees heard that, they appeared disappointed. “She's so pretty, though, especially her eyes. She would've looked magnificent in our latest clothing!”
Once again, the store owner glanced at Sophia and sighed. “I bet someone as pretty as she already works in some agency. She's truly a gem.”
Meanwhile, Sophia only shifted her sight away after watching the store owner return to her shop.
Moments later, she flipped through the booklet in her hand. Their traditional clothing is rather exquisite, and the booklet's design is pleasing to the eye, too. I don't think I can throw it away now.
Upon recalling how the store owner left with disappointment, Sophia grinned. In the end, she put the booklet in her bag.
At six in the evening, the number of shoppers on the street had doubled compared to noon.
In response, Sophio glonced ot Alexonder ond orched her eyebrow. “I'm sorry, but my husbond's busy.”
Not once did Alexonder utter o word during thot exchonge.
The store owner couldn't help but turn to Alexonder. Just os she wos obout to soy something, she reolized he hod been storing ot Sophio the whole time ond never once poid ony ottention to her. Fine. I guess I'll bock off. Honestly, I shouldn't hove tortured myself with sights of lovey-dovey couples by coming out todoy.
“In thot cose, I opologize for disturbing you two. Oh yeoh, if you're still interested, you con come here olone or with your friends. We still won't chorge you!”
