Chapter 39 Shopping For Clothes
Focal Mall was an exceedingly renowned shopping mall in Horington with almost all the major brands available.
Hence, Jared was a tad surprised that Josephine brought him there.
“Did you bring me here to accompany you shopping?” he inquired apprehensively.
After all, it was a vastly scary matter to accompany a female shopping, and he had personally experienced the horror of it. Back then, he once went shopping with Sandy, and she spent the entire day at the mall. Therefore, he was seriously traumatized.
“Why, are you not willing to do so?” Josephine countered, looking him straight in the eye.
“Of course not!” Jared shook his head in denial. If I’m honest, I’m pretty proud to accompany her shopping since her status and looks are top-notch. Innumerable men will envy me for getting to keep such a woman company while she shops! But then, I’ve got something to do at noon. I’ve already promised to meet Walter, so I can’t stand him up.
“I’ve got a prior appointment at noon, so I’m afraid that I might run late,” Jared answered honestly.
“I don’t care what appointment you have, but your main task now is to keep me company while I shop!”
After saying that, Josephine dragged him into the mall.
There was a dazzling array of products, but Josephine towed him over to the section selling men’s clothes before holding up shirt after shirt in front of him.
“Are you planning to buy me clothes?” Jared exclaimed in astonishment.
“Who else would I be buying clothes for? My closet at home is already bursting at the seams.” Josephine wasn’t idle as she spoke, her hands flipping through the clothes. In the end, she chose a suit and placed it in his hand. “Go and try it on!”
Jared stood rooted to the spot for a moment with the suit in his hand. Seeing that, she remarked, “Hmm? Are you waiting for me to go into the fitting room with you and help you into it?”
“No, it’s okay!” Jared shook his head frantically even as he hastened into the fitting room.
At the sight of his terrified expression, Josephine giggled, the tenderness in her eyes growing all the more pronounced.
