Sweet Newbie In Man's Suit novel Chapter 3

Leaning against the chair, Lucy looked out of the window in quiet contemplation. She was drumming her fingers on the table when suddenly she got an idea. She quickly stood up, put on her coat, and ran downstairs. Behind her lay a sea of papers with the word EXO written on them!

The street was bustling with people. Lucy marched to the shopping mall. Warmth from the heaters enveloped her as soon as she entered the mall. She took a deep breath and stood in the center of the mall, scanning all the stores until her eyes landed on one store on the second floor. Just what she was looking for! With a hopeful smile tugging at the corners of her mouth, she headed to the elevator.

"Excuse me, do you have EXO's poster?" she asked in anticipation.

The shop attendant turned around and saw Lucy's delicate face. Her eyes lit up and she bowed in greeting.

"Hello, handsome! Unfortunately, the posters are sold out today and won't be available until a week later. Tee-hee!" said the attendant, winking flirtatiously at her.

Lucy was speechless. How could this woman think she was a boy?

Disappointed to hear that there was no poster at the store, Lucy turned around to leave without another word. The attendant hurriedly called out, "Hey handsome, leave your phone number! I'll call you when the posters come in."

Lucy was at a complete loss of words at the lady's behavior. How could she flirt with someone so blatantly? Not to mention she was a woman. If that attendant knew, she would be red-faced. She should find a hole in which to bury her head! Lucy chuckled to herself thinking about this. Then she took out her mobile phone and searched for shopping malls and supermarkets nearby. The cold wind outside was harsh. She zipped up her coat and shoved her hands into her pockets. Shaking her head vigorously, she then ran to another shopping mall.

"Sir, do you have the EXO poster?"

"No, it's out of stock. It will take many days to come."

"Oh. Well, thank you." she left feeling crestfallen. The weather had taken a turn for the worst. It became colder and colder and her face started turning pale. She shook her head determinedly and continued her hunt for the poster.

"Sir, do you have EXO's poster?"

"Sorry, I just sold the last one."

"Oh, that's too bad. Thanks anyway." Lucy walked out of the store sadly.

Staring glumly at the blue sky, the faces of the 12 boys gradually appeared in her mind. It cheered her up again and motivated her to not give up.

"Sir, by any chance do you have EXO poster?"

"No, sorry."

Another disappointment. But Lucy still didn't give up. She went from one shop to another, seeking her beloved poster.

It was getting dark now. She sighed and thought to herself, 'How popular are they? The poster is sold out in all the stores!' She couldn't get her hands on even one!

Feeling dejected, she was about to go home when she suddenly saw a restaurant, which was covered in EXO's posters. Hope sparked in her eyes again and she pushed the door open excitedly.

"Sir!"

The man behind the counter immediately turned around and smiled at her. "Hello, young man, what would you like to eat?"

Lucy was speechless. "I'm not here for the food. I want to buy all the posters in your restaurant," she sputtered.
