Indeed, Loyd’s look dazzling in his outfit.
The saleslady cheeks immediately blushed by looking at him, if she wouldn't have had an idea that this young man in front of him works a Gasoline Boy earlier, she would definitely fall in love with him.
“Young Mister, I think this Tuxedo is perfectly tailor made for you” coaxed up by the sales lady.
After all, if she would successfully sell this pair of tuxedo, eight percent commission would be given to her and that’s already a large sum of money. The total price would be no less than one hundred thousand dollars.
Loyd Laurent just gave her an awkward smile.”…”
Manager Kwan nodded his head and agreed with the sales lady statement “Enough of talking please give me the bill. How much does it cost in total?”
Without hesitation the sales lady hurriedly ran to the counter and made a computation.
“I already made the calculations. Your total bill is 122,500 dollars. Since you’re my first customer today I will give you a discount. You can just pay 120,000” informed the sales lady as she tried to hide her excitement.
“May I know if you’ll be paying by cash or card?”
Manager Kwan confirmed the amount again. “Is it 120,000?”
The sales lady nodded.
“Okay. I’ll pay by card” replied Manager Kwan then he walked toward the counter.
At the same time, near the dressing room where Loyd Laurent was still standing confused couldn’t believe what he heard.
He slapped his face left and right SLAP! SLAP!
It was too painful that he finally came to his senses and realized he was not just hallucinating.
“Am I really getting married today?” ask himself.
He continues with his acting as if he has no idea as to why Manager Kwan suddenly became generous in buying him such an expensive item.
He composed himself and finally got the courage to ask Manager Kwan.
“Manager Kwan, why are you all doing this for me?”
“I definitely don’t need this tuxedo and that as far as I could remember I don’t have any event to attend to”
Manager Kwan just hummed. He then looked at him and said, “As to the reason why I’m doing this to you, you’ll know later”
He continued asking manager Kwan showing his unconvinced face “I cannot accept this. Moreover, I don’t have the capability to pay you up even if I worked hard in your company for my entire life” he is very good at his acting, looking somewhat puzzled.
“Just consider it as my gift to you” replied Manager Kwan happily.
“No… it…”
When Loyd was about to reject Manager Kwan's offer, before he could finish his sentence he was immediately distracted by the sound of the credit card machine.
BEEP! He was stunned. Transaction was completed. Sure enough, the machine showed that the swipe was successful.
“What the f*ck, this pair of tuxedo cost 120,000!” He was staring at the sales lady wide-eyed in disbelief.
Then, Loyd Laurent gave Manager Kwan a glance. Seeing the situation, it seemed like it was too late now to bother him anymore.
Helpless, he just accepted Managers Kwan gift.
…
They leave the shop while Loyd Laurent is already wearing the newly bought Tuxedo.
He walked embarrassingly. This was his first time wearing formal dress in the last twelve years.
He only wishes to become an ordinary person and wants to live a simple life.
After leaving the shop he just continued doing his acting as if still had all kinds of doubt in his head. Since manager Kwan said that he will know the reason later on, he didn’t make any fuzz and just stayed quiet and followed manager Kwan paths while taking the lead.
He just puts his trust on him and goes along with his plan.
…
The two of them then went straight to the men salon for grooming at the ground floor level of this mall. Even though Loyd Laurent looks dazzling in his outfit, he still looks like a hermit with his grown beard and mustache on his face, paired with long and messy hair.
Loyd Laurent maintains this type of look to hide his identity, after all his life is in danger.
The moment he saw the salon he knew what was going to happen next.
Four beautiful girls immediately got out from the salon to welcome them personally.
“Welcome back Manager Kwan, it’s been so long since the last time you visit” the girls said excitedly as they bowed down.
This men's salon is one of manager Kwan’s businesses. He created this business so that he could have some place to go to when he wants to relax
He made sure that the services offered here are absolutely satisfying, thus, he personally managed the hiring process.
One of the girls then curiously asked “Manager Kwan, who is this young man with you” as she teasingly stares at Loyd from head to foot.
“This young man is my nephew.” He said it out of wit, before the girls misunderstood him.
“Oh, really?” she immediately stepped forward and then asked Loyd Laurent a question that puts him in a difficult position.
“Do you have a girlfriend?” the girl smirks.
“…”
Looking somewhat embarrassed, Loyd Laurent was speechless. He felt very uncomfortable and could not even take a look back at the girl. He just slowly shook his head.
“That’s enough Jenny, don’t you know that you’ve already crossed the line” another girl came in to defend him, to ease the awkward situation.
“Nice meeting you. My name is Ivy, you are?”
As she is about to offer him a handshake, Manager Kwan immediately butted in.
“That’s enough, there’s no time left for us. Let’s proceed with the business.”
“I want you all to give him an overall make-over. Transform him into to human” Manager Kwan said with determination.
“Roger that! Leave it to us Manager Kwan.” the girls nodded and replied in unison.
The girls then bring Loyd to an exclusive room of the salon. This room was exclusively made for Manager Kwan use.
There is a big salon chair placed in the middle of the room and directly faced in front of the big mirror.
Then one of the girls grabs Loyd’s arms and asks him to change into a bathrobe. At the same time pointing a small room inside the room where he could change his clothes.
“Please take off your clothes, and wear this” the girl blushed as she spoke those words softly.
After Loyd changed to a bathrobe another girl came near to him, grabbed his hands and instructed him to lie down to the chair.
He then closed his both eyes and calmly put his arms in the arm chair. This chair was very comfortable.
The girls then started to massage his body, Loyd felt relaxed.
As well as trimming his hair and giving him clean shaves.
After doing it, only then did they realize that this man is so handsome like a celebrity. The few of them couldn’t help but blush.
After cleaning up, one of the girls then took out his ironed tuxedo and handed it back to him.
“Your clothes are ready” the girl said shyly.
“Thank you” Loyd Laurent took his clothes and sighed heavily looking at his face in the mirror.
He was hiding this face from the public for a decade and now, it was all exposed.
THUD! A loud sound can be heard at his back… “Young… Young master Lord?”
Manager Kwan immediately fell to his knees with a thud “Was it really you?”
His face was all pale. Blood tears started flowing on his eyes and as his breathing quickened a little.
He tried to open his trembling mouth again but it was too dry to speak.
Stunned, Loyd also couldn’t believe that someone would be able to identify his identity soon after his transformation.
