SHOPPING WITH HINA

Since Hina's and Jenny's body build was more or less the same, Jenny gave her all the new clothes I bought for her. And now, I have to choose a dress for her.

"Dad," Hina said, "What kind of clothes do you want me to wear on this date?"

"Hm..." I think about it. What kind of clothes does she need to wear on our date? It's cold outside, so she needs warm clothes. "Something warm. It's cold outside, after all."

"Then, something like a coat, or a sweater?" Hina asks.

"Yeah, take this coat," I say, handing her a coat, "And you can choose anything you want. Just make sure it is warm."

"Okay! Thanks, Dad!" Hina answers.

She tried the coat on, and it fits perfectly. "Perfect!" I said.

"Thank you!" Hina answers, smiling.

"I will be waiting in the garage. So, hurry and get ready for our first date." I tell her.

"I will, Daddy," Hina said with a cute voice.

I went out to the garage. And I waited for her. I was feeling a bit anxious. It's kinda awkward, but it's exciting. I am about to cross another forbidden line with her. But then again, it's not like we are blood-related.

"Here I am, Dad!" Hina said as she came down, "So, which car are we going in today?"

In my garage, I had three cars: a custom car, a Ferrari, and my trusty Mustang. After considering my options, I chose to take the custom car for today. It had been some time since I last drove it.

"Let's go with the custom one," I told Hina.

"Okay! Then, let's get going!" Hina said, as she entered the car.

"I am driving," I said, sitting behind the wheel.

I drove her to the best clothing shop in New York. After parking the car, we went inside the store. Hina was really excited, and her face was full of smiles.

"Wow, look at all of these clothes! It's amazing, Dad!" She said, as she examined every piece of clothing.

"Do you think this is a good one?" Hina asked me, as she showed me a dress.

It was a revealing, lacy dress, with a V-shaped neckline and a slit on the side. The dress was really short, and it showed a lot of skin. But I really want to see her wear that.

"How about we take a couple more and then you can try them on in the fitting room?" I said.

"Okay, let's do that!" Hina said, excited.

We went around the store, looking for the right dress for Hina. I chose the clothes that would look good on her. I am going to buy many outfits for her. And I am rich enough to afford it. All thanks to my flourishing business and I still have a shit ton of the bounty money even after helping the ones who suffered that druggie granny's torture at the strip club.

"Is this one okay, Dad?" Hina asks me.

She's showing me a black, sleeveless dress, with a slit on the back, and a belt that has a golden buckle. I know that she will look so gorgeous in this one.

"Yeah, looks great..."

We went around, picking different clothes, but the thing is, she will look beautiful in any clothes, as long as it fits her.

"Hina, wait a moment," I stopped her. The number of clothes we chose in excitement is making it hard for me to carry them all.

"Wow! I went overboard, huh? Sorry, daddy," She said, feeling guilty.

"No, that's not the problem... Wait here for a minute..."

I went to the counter. There was a young girl, with an employee badge, working behind the cashier.

"Hello, Sir, how can I help you?" She asked.

"Hi, you see that girl," I pointed at Hina.

"Yes..."

"Measure her size and I will buy everything of her size in here be it casual, cheap, or expensive. Money isn't a problem here," I said taking out my card from my wallet.

"Everything? Are you sure, Sir? I mean, everything? Really?" She said. From the tone of her voice and facial expression, she looked baffled by my offer.

"I'm sure," I said, nodding. "Oh, and I heard that this shop has its own custom designer. Is that true?"

"Yes, we have our own designer. Are you interested in having a design made for your girlfriend?" she asked.

"Yes, I want you to make something for her. When will that person be available?"

"She will be available tomorrow at 2 pm," she said, checking the calendar on her laptop.

"Great," I said.

The cashier called the assistant and she took Hina's measurements. Then I bought everything that fits her size. Oh, I am going to spoil her so much.

"So..." I pointed at the card swiper.

"Of course, Sir!" The girl said, as she pushed the swiper forward.

I paid the bill.

"She is a lucky one, that girlfriend of yours," The cashier said.

"You think so?"

"Yeah. Most guys would have settled with one dress. Even those rich and famous would have only bought one or two dresses for their girlfriend. But you, you bought everything for her. And you didn't even blink twice about paying such an amount of money for your girlfriend's dresses," The cashier said, with a smile, "To be honest, from your clothes, and from your speech, you don't look like one of those rich people. So I thought you were an average guy."

"Hahaha! Well, you see I made some mistakes in the past and lost everything. But then life took a weird turn and gave me a second chance. I grabbed onto that chance. And here I am," I said.

"Wow, that sounds amazing," the cashier said.

"It wasn't just my luck," I said, smiling, "The only reason I am alive now, is thanks to a miracle."

"Haha... I wish I could meet a man like you one day," The cashier said.

"Well, you might have already met him," I said, smirking.

"Eh?" The cashier looked at me, confused.

"By the way, is there a private fittings room available where she can try the dresses?" I asked.

"Yes, the last room on the third floor."

"Great. Thank you very much," I said, "And why don't you pick some nice dresses for yourself? I will pay for them," I said, pointing at the dresses.

"I-I can't," the cashier said.

"I insist."

"I don't think I can't. I mean, I don't want to look like a gold digger, and besides you have a girlfriend..." The cashier said.

"Look, just accept the offer," I said, smirking. "As I said, I grabbed onto the second chance life gave me. What about you? Are you going to take this chance I am offering you?"

"Y-yes," the cashier said, looking down.

"Perfect. Choose anything you want. Oh, and don't get me wrong. I am not here to take advantage of you. You look like someone who will shine in the modeling world. I am Alex. Some knows me as Vincent. I invest in new talents and my eyes tell me that you are a talent," I said, smiling. I took out my card that Nyssa prepared for me under *Vincent's* name and gave it to her.

"Th-thank you... I... It's like a dream. I have been working here since I finished high school and I was never lucky enough to chase my dreams. But now, it's happening. And it's thanks to you..." the cashier said.

"Don't worry about it. By the way, I didn't get your name," I said.

"Oh, my name is Melissa," the cashier said.

"Well, Melissa, I will see you at your interview. The address is behind the card. Tomorrow, 10 AM," I said.

"Yes, I will be there."

Now that's been taken care of, I walked to Hina. She was looking at a couple of clothes.

"Let's go to the fittings room," I took her to the room Melissa mentioned.
