At the entrance of the store, a middle-aged woman pointed at Seth and cursed loudly, “Get out of here, and don’t hinder my business!”
In virtual-novel.net eyes, Seth, who was dressed in rags and carrying a backpack covered with many patches, was no different from a beggar.
Seth said to her, “I’m not a beggar. I’m here to buy clothes. I have money.”
The middle-aged woman crossed virtual-novel.net arms and sneered, “How much money do you even have? Ten dollars, or twenty dollars? You can’t afford the clothes here. Don’t come in and dirty my store!”
Seth suppressed his anger and said, “I told you, I have money. Your store is open and you’re running a business. Why won’t you let me in?”
The middle-aged woman became furious. “You’re still insisting, are you? If you don’t leave, I’ll make you!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net picked up a broomstick while staring fiercely at Seth.
“Do you want to buy clothes, Mister? You can come over here instead…” At this moment, a soft voice sounded from the side.
Seth turned his head and saw a girl around eighteen or nineteen years old, speaking to virtual-novel.net timidly. She looked very innocent, wearing jeans and a white T-shirt. With virtual-novel.net hair tied into two braids, virtual-novel.net exuded youthfulness.
The middle-aged woman scoffed disdainfully, “Why you little wench, even beggars can’t escape your grasp, huh? Your dad’s in the hospital and if virtual-novel.net finds out, I wonder if he’ll be p*ssed to death?”
The two shops were next to each other, but their businesses were completely different.
When it was after work or school hours, a lot of people would start crowding into the girl’s store. Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman’s store was deserted.
Over time, virtual-novel.net naturally became jealous and resentful toward the young girl.
The girl’s face turned red. “Auntie, could you please… Not use such… Harsh words?”
The middle-aged woman’s voice suddenly rose. “You’re blind as a bat! You’re the auntie here. Can’t you see that I’m only thirty years old?!”
“Huh? I think you’re at least fifty years old, fatty…” Seth snorted and then walked towards the girl’s store.
The middle-aged woman was about to explode from anger. She spat viciously, “Nothing but a pair of b*stards! Bah!”
She spat heavily on the ground and then turned and went back to virtual-novel.net store.
Seth’s eyes flashed with cold light as virtual-novel.net secretly flicked his finger.
A burst of energy shot out and hit a certain trigger point on the middle-aged woman’s body. She had no idea what had just happened.
Then, Seth followed the girl into the store.
The store was not big, but it had a complete range of clothes.
“Mister, what kind of style do you want?” The girl was very gentle, and virtual-novel.net eyes were clear.
There was not any trace of disdain or discomfort because of Seth’s shabby clothes.
Seth looked around the store. He did not have much preference for clothes, so long as they were comfortable and appropriate.
He pointed to a certain shelf and said, “That white sportswear, and that black one…”
The girl nodded. “You’re probably around 1.8 meters tall, so that would be XXL size, Mister. Please wait a moment…”
The two sets of clothes that Seth wanted were hung at the top of the rack.
The girl could not reach them with just a pole, so virtual-novel.net brought a chair over. Unexpectedly, virtual-novel.net lost virtual-novel.net balance and started falling backward.
“Ah!” The girl screamed, feeling as if the world was spinning and panic overtook her. She thought virtual-novel.net was done for.
However, in the next moment, virtual-novel.net was enveloped in a warm embrace.
Seth held the girl in his arms and asked, “Are you okay?”
“Huh?!” The girl thought virtual-novel.net was going to be seriously injured this time, but Seth saved her. She smelled a pleasant scent coming from Seth and sensed a strong masculine energy.
The girl immediately grew very shy, and virtual-novel.net whole face turned red. She started speaking with a stutter, “Thank you, Mister… Can… Can you put me down now?”
Seth gently put virtual-novel.net down and said, “Be careful from now on.”
“Mhm…” The girl lowered virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net face grew even redder.
This was the first time virtual-novel.net had been in such intimate contact with a man.
“I’ll take them instead.” Seth took the pole over and took down the two sets of clothes.
The girl pointed to the left, “The fitting room is over there.”
Seth took the clothes to the fitting room to try them on.
His body was very slender. On the surface, virtual-novel.net looked a bit thin, but his whole body was full of muscles, without any excess fat. Every inch of flesh and blood contained explosive power and was extremely perfect. If any beautiful woman saw virtual-novel.net like this, they would probably scream on the spot.
After changing into the white sportswear, virtual-novel.net put the old clothes in the cloth bag. He moved around casually, the size was just right. It had to be said that clothes make the man indeed.
It was just very ordinary sportswear, but when worn by Seth, it exuded a different charm. His face was clean and fair, and with his crew cut, Seth seemed like virtual-novel.net was incredibly energetic.
After the change of clothes, his temperament immediately changed.
Seth was very satisfied and walked out of the fitting room.
The girl’s eyes lit up, and virtual-novel.net said, “Mister, you look so handsome!”
Years of practice had made his figure extremely perfect. Coupled with his handsome appearance, it was easy to make people have a good impression of him.
The girl thought of something else, and the blush that had just faded from virtual-novel.net face reappeared.
“Do you have shoes? Give me another pair of white sneakers,” Seth said.
“Oh, we do!” The girl woke from virtual-novel.net daydream and quickly found a pair of white sneakers for Seth.
Seth tried them on. They fitted well and were very comfortable, much better than his worn-out cloth shoes.
“How much in total?”
The girl calculated, “Two hundred for each set of clothes, one hundred and fifty for the shoes… That’ll be five hundred for you, Mister…”
“No, that won’t do. I can’t let you suffer a loss.” Seth shook his head.
He could tell as soon as virtual-novel.net came in that the clothes the girl was wearing had also been worn for many years. Plus, there were many markings on virtual-novel.net hands, not as fair and tender as other ordinary girls.
Just in a single glance, virtual-novel.net could tell life had not been kind to her. It seemed that the girl’s living condition was not good either. At the door just now, it seemed like virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net father was in the hospital too.
It was even more impossible for Seth to take advantage of the young girl.
Nonetheless, the girl insisted, “You just saved me, Mister. It’s only right that I give you a discount.”
She was a girl with principles and did not want to overcharge Seth for anything.
“Well… How about this.” Seth thought of a compromise.
“I haven’t eaten yet, so I’ll give you five hundred and fifty dollars, and you can treat me to a meal… Deal?”
The girl thought about it and nodded. “Okay, but it’ll just be a simple meal!”
After speaking, virtual-novel.net looked at Seth nervously, afraid that virtual-novel.net would refuse.
Over the years, there have been many rich young men who have pursued her. Some of them were truly wealthy. However, the girl was not moved by any of them.
For some reason, Seth gave virtual-novel.net a very different feeling.
Seth laughed and said, “I’m from the mountains, so I can eat anything.”
“That’s great!” The girl smiled with virtual-novel.net eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.
Ring ring!
The old-fashioned phone in virtual-novel.net pocket started ringing.
The girl answered it and a few seconds later, virtual-novel.net face turned pale. The phone fell to the ground, and virtual-novel.net lost all virtual-novel.net strength, collapsing softly.
Seth acted quickly and caught the girl. “What’s wrong?”
