Aurelia's heart jolted, and her back stiffened. There were several times that she wanted to turn around, but it seemed that a resistance pinned her on the spot, and she could only listen to the heavy footsteps approach slowly.
The small tailor shop felt as if a low pressure had engulfed it.
The owner had seen plenty of people. The moment she saw Neil with his oversized sunglasses, she knew that he was not one to offend, so she quickly went up and asked with a smile, "Sir, here for tailored clothes?"
She regretted it a little as soon as she spoke.

"Uh, sir, you…"
"I'm not here for clothes." Each word from Neil felt frosty.
Aurelia held her breath, not daring to turn around.
"You're the boss here?" Neil removed his sunglasses.

"Please step out for a moment."
"Huh? But, sir, this is—"
"Would you like me to bring money to the table since you're staying?" Neil's smile did not feel like a smile. "But once I bring money forward, I won't just be buying clothes!
"I'll buy this shop!"
The owner was stunned.
Who did he think he was? Coming in and threatening to buy someone's shop?
Neil looked around and said coldly, "Madam, this shop's pretty old, right?
