The two shopkeepers instantly put on a smile and diligently picked clothes that matched me.
When they were done choosing, I put on the clothes to try them out and walked out of the dressing room. Looking at myself in the mirror, I nodded in satisfaction. One of the female shopkeepers chose a spaghetti strap, another chose a pair of wide-legged pants, and I chose a thin jacket.
After putting on this set of clothes, I felt as if I had returned to my university days. I was young and youthful, brimming with vitality.
After paying and leaving the shop, I continued shopping with a smile on my face.
Noticing a lot of people staring at me, I gradually put away the smile on my face. I was afraid that I would b e mistaken as a lunatic for smiling at nothing like a silly person.
I stopped by a men's clothing store, wondering if I should get Theo some clothes.
He did not seem to need them, though. Besides, he normally wore custom-made clothes anyway and might not necessarily wear clothes from mid-luxury brands.
"Would you like to come in and have a look, Ma'am?" The shopkeeper refused to let any customers go.
I nodded and figured I could buy whatever caught my eye. Theo would be kind enough to wear it at least once, right?
After going in, I did actually have my eyes on a casual white T-shirt with an inky splash design, a pair of black jeans, and a black denim jacket. Anyone who wore them together would look very trendy and young, but they were simply not Theo's style.
I pursed my lips and pondered for a few minutes before looking at the shopkeeper. "I want this set."
I had never seen Theo in this style and was especially curious to see it!
"This set is on discount as part of this year's fashion week promotion. It’ll be 15,000 dollars."
15,000 dollars for a set?
15,000 dollars was an astronomical amount for a commoner like me, but it was comparatively cheap compared to Theo's custom-made suits.
"Are you sure you want this, Ma'am?" the shopkeeper asked carefully.
I gritted my teeth. "Yes."
