Chapter 9 Shopping in Chanel As she expected, the salespeople, with their impeccable attire and discerning glances, subtly scrutinized Lily from head to toe. And then... She turned her head to pretend she hadn’t seen her. Lily felt extremely awkward. Don’t worry, everything will be fine. All i need to do is just need to pick a dress,Lily try to chill herself. Lily looked around,the opulent fabrics and intricate designs dazzled her senses, her eyes were fixed on a white dress eventually. That stunning white dress adorned with delicate pearls,but in the second before her hands touched the dress,the sales stopped her:“Sorry,lady. This dress is for display only.” “Okay,” Lily retracted her hand in embarrassment,“Well, actually I am looking for some concise dress for...” The sales associate, maintaining her practiced smile, interjected smoothly, "I'm very sorry, but all dresses in this store are booked by our customers." Okay,Lily understand. The sales must think she can’t afford any dress here,that’s why she used this euphemism. “Lady, do you need anything else?And, do you have membership in Chanel?Do you need a bottle of water?That’s free.” She asked Lily again. Lily can image what the sales think on her mind. “If you can’t afford anything, don’t come to Chanel.” “You don’t have money but you still want to try on clothes. Can you afford to pay for them if they get dirty?” Lily feels a little embarrassed. She took a few steps back. That’s true, she really doesn't have enough money to buy anything in this store,All her money was used to pay for her mother's medical expenses. The unspoken words seemed to echo in her mind, implying, "If you can't afford anything, don't come to Chanel." As she stepped back, she suddenly found herself bumping into something. Jeez!Lily was thinking about what she had encountered in this store, and she really couldn't afford to pay for it. When she turn her head,she was shocked. Charlie? Charlie's hand held Chaumet's bag,he exuded an air of effortless elegance, dressed in impeccably tailored attire that accentuated his commanding presence. The sudden change was palpable. The sales associate, with a practiced smile, approached Charlie with a tone of deference. "Good afternoon, sir. How may I assist you today?" Her voice carried a subtle note of flattery. Yean,Lily has to admit. Charlie’s aristocratic temperament makes everyone feel that he was born to match such expensive luxuries. Lily lowered her head to gaze at her worn-out bag, and a sudden, unmistakable feeling of being out of place surrounded her. Charlie didn’t reply, he just kept his eyes on Lily. Charlie saw the embarrassment on Lily’s face and immediately realized what had happened here. He felt an inexplicable discomfort with this situation. “Come here,” He reached out to Lily. Surprisingly, his tone was gentle. But Lily still didn't know if he was angry or not in his indifferent face. “Don’t you like anything here?Yeah, I admit their new styles this season are nothing interesting.”Charlie lowered his head and said that close to Lily's ear. The sales associate looked flustered in that moment. “Sir,we have a couture series too. Please allow me to introduce you to our most sought-after collections.” “But couture series takes time, right? We don’t have too much time now,so i hope you can help my wife to choose some clothes in a hurry , OK?”He emphasized the pronunciation of the “wife”. Besides the sales, Lily also stunned. Wife? He said she is his wife to the sales? Is he defending her now? The sales associate, realizing that she had underestimated the customer, felt a strong desire to reprimand herself. Despite this, she maintained a professional smile on her face and said, "Certainly, ma'am. Would you like to try on the white dress from earlier? I just checked, and it seems there is one available for reservation now." Lily felt speechless. She had the thought of making things difficult for a moment, but it only passed by. Alas, why should the working class make life difficult for the working class? So Lily just nodded in agreement. When Lily walked out of the fitting room, Charlie could hardly take his eyes off Lily. She was stunning! The white dress, adorned with delicate pearls, draped elegantly over Lily's figure, accentuating her grace and beauty. A subtle smile played on Charlie's lips as he admired Lily,then he looks like realized something. Then, as if struck by inspiration, he reached behind the counter and retrieved a dazzling gemstone necklace, which he personally placed around Lily's slender neck. This magnificent necklace, paired with the pristine white attire, accentuated Lily's beauty. “Perfect.”He complimented from heart. The sales associate, while silently scolding herself for her lack of foresight, hurriedly approached and asked, "You look absolutely stunning in this outfit, ma’am. Sir,Would you like to complement it with a bag? We have..." Charlie, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, turned to Lily, "What do you say, Mrs. Blackwood? ” Mrs Blackwood? Everything goes so fast. But it did earned her smile. "Well, Mr. Blackwood, I suppose a bag would be a nice addition to complete the look."She answered. “Sure,ma’am.We have classical cf bag,19 bag,woc bag...Which one do you prefer?” The sales associate quickly brought out a series of popular and classic Chanel handbags, usually considered "out of stock," allowing Lily to choose freely. “Which one?You must misunderstand something---wrap up every bag,”Charlie interjected. “Charlie?” Lily was shocked. She saw the price tag of the cf bag,only that one will cost almost 10k dollars... She knew Charlie is rich but she didn’t except him to be that wealthy. Meanwhile,She saw the sales associate's visibly envious expression on her face. However, considering the substantial commission from this large order, the sales associate efficiently wrapped up all the items.
