Tobias stopped at the entrance of a lingerie store and uttered, "It's not convenient for me to go in the shop. Go in and pick out some things for yourself."
Natalie hummed in reply and went in.
The lady at the counter noticed someone enter the shop and greeted solicitously, "Miss, what are you looking for?"
Natalie was a little uncomfortable when the shop assistant received her warmly. She usually encountered horrible shop assistants when she visited some slightly expensive places on her own.
She thought for a moment and soon realized that her previously affordable attire attracted contemptuous looks. She currently was wearing the dress Cecilia gave her, which looked quite expensive, and naturally, the shop assistant was treating her differently.
"I'll just look around." It was the first time for Natalie to visit such a luxurious lingerie shop. She was at a loss as to how she should go about her shopping.
She glanced at the price of a bra casually and that made her heart pound.
"Would you like to have a look at our latest product? It's called 'Spring' and the colors are really stunning," the shop assistant asked.
Natalie batted her eyelashes. What a luxurious shop! Even a bra had a name. She used to purchase a fifty dollar bra and a set of three panties for ten dollars.
Natalie wanted to check out the lingerie the shop assistant mentioned, so she followed the shop assistant.
It was a set of mint green lingerie. The color was pastel and soft, which lived up to its name.
"My dear, this set looks great. I want it." Suddenly, Natalie heard a delicate voice that made one's heart tremble.
Natalie was taken aback. She could not believe that she would bump into someone she hated in the shop. Was that not Queenie standing in front of her?
Queenie was surprised as well. She rubbed her eyes and she thought she was seeing things.
