At largest shopping mall of C city.
Today is weekend and shopping malls are filled with many people. Among the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Lucien Gray's tall and straight figure and his handsome face often attract the attention of others.
"Wow... that man is so handsome!"
"Is he a famous star? Why haven't I seen him on TV?"
"Shall we go and ask for an autograph?"
"Oh, I dare not! There is a girlfriend next to him!"
"His girlfriend looks so ordinary!"
"Yes! She is not even good enough for him. Can she be his housekeeper?"
"It is supposed to be a housekeeper. How can such a handsome man like such a normal girl?"
Several little girls in high school uniforms walk around six times, looking at Lucien Gray and Nina Morrison and whispering form time to time.
Housekeeper? Nina Morrison is spitting blood. Is she looked like so bad?
She looks at hers and Lucien Gray's shadow in the window of the nearby shop window.
She wears ordinary white T-shirt and comfortable wide loose ordinary black shorts, and a pair of sports shoes. It is refreshing but, yes, ordinary. Very ordinary.
Lucien Gray, however, wears a well-tailored casual suit and has handsome cheeks. He is as elegant as a prince. With him walking next to her, she does look like a housekeeper...
Girls passing by cast their eyes on Lucien Gray, and Nina Morrison feels uncomfortable that walking around a mall with so many people staring at her, as if she is a monkey which is being watched in the zoo.
Lucien Gray, however, could not feel it at all. He walks leisurely and stops some times to look. In the end, he even enters in an adult sex shop!
Nina Morrison tries to pretend she does not know him.
As Lucien Gray walks toward the sex shop, Nina quietly steps back and turns away in silence.
