Hearing that, Daniel who was seated on the front passenger seat looked at the group and sighed: "Alice, you never grew up in a noble family, you would never understand something like that. Reputation may sound simple, but you might not know how much is involved in it. Too many people depend on it to raise their so-called status, which they view as something more important than life itself. The moment they are deprived of it, it will result in them suffering a fate worse than death."
"Is that so?" Alice said, "Then is protecting this reputation a good thing or a bad thing?"
When she finished, the car was silent. No one answered her, and perhaps no one could give her a standard answer.
The so-called fame had given these people a different life. They had all enjoyed the benefits of fame and they all wanted to protect it so much that their emotions had become extremely volatile.
"Don't think about it." William domineeringly pulled her into his embrace.
"Alright."
Alice nodded, she thought that only by being immersed in that life since one was young would one be able to understand it.
"I'll take you to buy jewelry."
William said. He had been busy with internal affairs in Cullen Family and had not brought her out for a shopping.
"Jewelry?" Alice looked at him in surprise.
William looked down at her, thinking that she was unhappy, and said, "Then, I'll bring you to buy clothes and bags."
Alice finally understood what he meant and agreed, "Do you want to take me for a walk? Well, I want to buy you some clothes."
"Sure, help me pick one."
William hugged her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Daniel raised his eyes to look at the rearview mirror. Seeing them being so affectionate, a smile appeared on his face.
No matter what, they finally made up with each other.
William led Alice shopping, and they went to famous brand stores. She stood in the male clothing store and carefully picked the clothes. This coat was not bad, but the patterns were not good.
William casually leaned against wall, staring directly at her.
How could she be so good-looking?
The two sales clerks at the side looked at them. One was looking at the clothes and the other at the people. The atmosphere was completely out of their control, so they stood there awkwardly.
"This coat is not bad." Alice saw an overcoat in the middle of the hall. It was made out of a dark gray, slanted pattern and it was neither formal nor casual, but it somehow matched up to William's temperament. "Please, I want to try on this one."
"I'm sorry, miss, you are not allowed to try on clothes at this store."
The sales clerk said apologetically.
"Oh." Just as Alice was about to give up, Daniel walked forward to talk to them for a bit and then made a call. Only then did the two sales clerks recognize him as the real William as they asked him to try on.
"This way, please. It was originally the customer lounge."
The sales clerk opened a door.
"Take me in for a change." William only stared at Alice, as if he wanted to try and put her on.
The sales clerks gave him shocked looks.
Alice's face was a little hot, she pushed him, "Stop messing around, quickly go in and change. Change into the shirt and tie, and I'll see the overall effects."
She took a shirt and a tie.
"Follow me in!" William said tyrannically.
"William!" Alice glared at him. He really was messing around with her by asking her, a woman, to dress with him in public.
"You're staring at me again, Alice! You're trying to blame me again!" This woman wanted to rebel again.
"Quickly go in."
Alice was helpless as she pushed him into the room. Daniel smiled and followed in to serve him. She turned around and continued to pick clothes, preparing to choose a set for William.
Suddenly, she saw a shadow.
At this moment, a familiar figure was standing outside the door. It was a woman.
Yuri.
Yuri stood on the shining floor and the glass door reflected her smiling face as she waved.
Waving? Alice put down the tie in her hand and walked out. She was a little surprised, "Miss Yuri, are you here to buy clothes as well? Did you come with Mr. Y? "
Yuri smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mister is buying clothes next door, do you want to go and greet him?"
Greetings?
Alice was startled, but after thinking about it, she agreed to it. She followed Yuri and entered a woman's clothing store.
The lounge was very luxury, the sun was shining on the modern European furniture and there was a fresh smell in the air.
Mr. Y is sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was holding a cup of coffee in his hand as his sunglasses and mask concealed his appearance.
