Sophie knew she was in the wrong, so she let James take the lead.
"Fine, let's go shopping." After all, it wasn't her money being spent, so why not enjoy it?
Sophie didn't notice the slight smile that unconsciously formed on James’ lips.
As they entered the mall, Sophie looked around at the layout. She needed to gather ideas for a large shopping district she was planning to develop. Observing was essential homework for her project.
Suddenly, Sophie felt her hand being pulled. Instinctively, she jerked her head back and looked warily at James who had just returned with iced teas, asking, "What are you doing?"
"Holding hands. Someone’s taking photos."
After saying this, James glanced at someone not too far away who was holding a camera and looked suspiciously like a paparazzo.
Sophie found it a bit annoying, but complied anyway.
Then, James took out his phone and turned on the camera. Sophie asked, "What now?"
"Selfie."
Sophie's face stiffened in front of the camera. Seeing this, James asked with a tone of dissatisfaction, "Can’t you smile?"
Sophie wanted to smile, but upon seeing James in the camera, she couldn’t manage it. Eventually, she forced a grin that looked more like a grimace.
James, somewhat frustrated, turned off his phone. Seeing that they were done taking photos, Sophie happily bought a few more clothes. It was James’ money after all. Why not spend it?
In the afternoon, James chose a quiet and elegant café and ordered a set of exquisite pastries for Sophie, while he sat across from her sipping coffee.
Sophie was quite pleased with her shopping victories and nibbled on the pastries contentedly.
Watching her, James felt a warm flutter in his heart. He took out his phone and sneakily snapped a photo of half his face with Sophie while she wasn’t looking.
Hearing the shutter sound, Sophie looked up, puzzled, and asked James, "What are you doing?"
