As Sophia was complaining about those unreliable men, she leaned closely against Aaron like a delicate bird and they arrived at an LV store. The Sales Associate (SA), wearing a professional smile, quickly stepped forward. His eyes darted over the two of them in a flash. Seeing the handsome and stylish guy and the stunningly beautiful girl, the SA's smile became even more enthusiastic. He asked in a cordial English, "Welcome to Louis Vuitton. How can I assist you?"
Sophia gracefully replied in fluent English, "We just want to have a look."
"Sure, feel free to take your time. Let me know if you need anything." The SA smiled and politely stepped aside. His smile was just right, neither overly enthusiastic to be oppressive nor too cold to be neglectful.
In the luxury goods industry, these sales associates are called SA or BA, which are the English abbreviations for professional sales consultant titles. They not only have outstanding looks and demeanor but are also mostly undergraduates, preferably proficient in English. They have extremely high emotional intelligence, are well - versed in worldly affairs, and handle every move and gesture just right, making it hard for people to dislike them.
Sophia walked gracefully towards the display cabinet with bags, stretched out her slender fingers, gently picked up a black bag, and hung it on her shoulder elegantly. Then she smiled sweetly at Aaron and said, "Honey, does this bag look good on me?"
Aaron, being a straightforward guy, didn't even think twice. He replied without hesitation, "It looks great. Let's buy it."
?? As soon as he said this, both Sophia and the salesperson were shocked and stared at him with wide eyes. This man didn't even look at the price and just shouted to buy it? Some bags were the crème de la crème of luxury goods, with exorbitant prices.
Sophia's look at Aaron completely changed this time. She immediately rushed to him like a lively fawn, her voice as soft as the spring breeze, and whispered, "Honey, this one is over $8000."
When it came to spending money, Aaron's expression was full of confidence and boldness, as if saying that money was just a number. In his mind, converted into the Sycophant Fund, it was just a few dollars. There was nothing to hesitate about. He looked at Sophia affectionately and smiled gently, "As long as you like it, I'll buy it for you."
He had been thinking about this line in his heart for a long time, and finally, he had the opportunity to say it in front of everyone. Looking at the astonished eyes of the people around, Aaron felt an indescribable sense of elation. No wonder so many people were willing to spend a fortune to make a beauty smile. Now he understood the wonderful feeling of showing off in public.
Seeing him being so extravagant, Sophia's eyes became misty, as if covered by a dreamy fog. She had to admit that for a moment, she seemed to see a radiance emanating from Aaron, a radiance full of male charm. Looking at his increasingly handsome profile, Sophia, for some unknown reason, on tiptoe, kissed him on the cheek like a shy girl and exclaimed, "You're so sweet, honey~"
Aaron was caught off - guard by this sudden kiss. He felt as if a weak electric current was passing through his face, making it tingle. He covered his face, his eyes wide open, like a startled deer, hardly able to believe that this school beauty from college could be so proactive. Looking at her blushing face, Aaron's heart itched, and he really wanted to kiss her back.
So far, he had only spent $200,000, and such progress had been made. What would happen if he splurged ten million? Just thinking about it made his nose almost bleed.
At this moment, the clear system prompt sounded in his mind: [Sophia's favorability +5]
This stunned Aaron. Happiness came so strongly, wave after wave, leaving him a bit at a loss. If things continued like this, he wondered if there would be even more progress today. Thinking about the "special feature" of this school beauty in black stockings, Aaron couldn't help but smile. He looked at Sophia's face, and his gaze became scorching hot, as if he wanted to melt her.
Sophia, who had been looking at the bag with her head down, caught a glimpse of his gradually "perverted" smile from the corner of her eye. She gave him a coquettish glare, as if to say, "Don't get any funny ideas."
How could Aaron control himself? But seeing Sophia slightly frowning, he also knew that haste makes waste. It took him a while to calm down.
After paying, amidst the enthusiastic farewell of the salesperson, they left the store carrying the bags. The two strolled around the mall a bit more, bought some items like perfume, and finally arrived at a women's clothing store that only sold high - end goods.
It was September, right at the end of summer. The store shelves were all kinds of colorful and fancy little dresses and various cool clothes.
Sophia picked a floral sundress and walked gracefully into the fitting room. When she came out, Aaron was so stunned that he couldn't take his eyes off her, as if he had been cast with a immobilization spell. The dress on her was even more heart - stoppingly beautiful. The waist - cinching design perfectly highlighted her graceful curves, as if it was tailor - made for her. The naturally flowing skirt made her look extremely innocent, like a fairy emerging from the forest. The cool straps were tied on her charming shoulders, and her winding collarbone made people drool. Moreover, after taking off her stockings, Sophia revealed her snow - white, tender and smooth long legs. Standing there gracefully, she was like a blooming and charming flower.
Aaron couldn't help but exclaim, "Sophia, you look exactly the same as you did in college."
Sophia twirled around like an elegant dancer, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, looked down at it, and said softly, "Really? I think it's a bit too girly."
Aaron said sincerely, "You are a girl, after all."
[Sophia's favorability +5]
Goodness, just saying a few words can increase her favorability?
"Flattering me. I'm already 26. Several of my girlfriends already have kids. It would be embarrassing to dress like a little girl." Although Sophia said it was embarrassing, her eyes were fixed on the dress, full of reluctance.
If Aaron couldn't understand her thoughts at this point, all the novels he had read over the years would have been in vain. He directly called the clerk and said confidently, "Miss, please pack her original clothes. We'll wear this one out." Then he said to Sophia, "A girl in her 20s should dress more brightly."
The salesclerk smiled and said, "Sir, you have a good taste. Your girlfriend looks really good in this dress. It shows off her figure so well. Look at her tiny waist. I'm so jealous..."
Whether she was sincere or not, Aaron praised, "Indeed. She's much more beautiful than those Korean female celebrities."
Hearing the praise from both of them, Sophia was overjoyed, feeling as sweet as if she had eaten honey. So, following Aaron's words, she cut off the dress's tag and walked out wearing it.
When she took his arm again, their skin touched. Unlike before when the long - sleeved shirt was in the way, Sophia also felt a bit strange. Her eyes flitted around, like a frightened little rabbit, and she looked away uneasily.
Aaron felt even hotter inside. His gaze at her was like that of a hungry wolf eyeing a little white rabbit. He leaned his head over, got closer, and gently sniffed the fragrance around her neck. With a somewhat infatuated expression, he deliberately said, "Sophia, why do you smell after changing clothes?"
Sophia raised her dainty finger, pinched the collar of her dress, and sniffed it, looking puzzled, "I don't smell any difference."
This action of hers made Aaron, who was standing beside her and watching her, inadvertently catch a glimpse of an alluring sight. Her delicate collarbone was a beautiful sight to behold, like a fine work of art.
Aaron stared wide - eyed, his tongue tied, and he couldn't speak clearly.
Sophia noticed Aaron's lecherous eyes wandering all over her body. Realizing that she had been taken advantage of, she stamped her foot, snorted coquettishly, "You pervert!" Then she let go of his arm, turned her head, and pretended to be angry as she walked forward on her own.
Aaron immediately followed. He thought that in such situations on TV, the male lead usually hugs the female lead and then whispers an apology. He raised his arm, reaching around Sophia from behind, but stopped a palm's width away from her shoulder, feeling both nervous and expectant, not knowing what to do.
