Tyler’s words didn’t just stun the saledy. Even Rachel’s body stiffened with shock.

The saledy’s gaze shifted awkwardly between Tyler and Rachel.

She had seen her fair share of men buying perfumes for their affair partners, but this was her first time seeing one bring his girlfriend along while buying perfume for another woman.

Rachel returned to the matter at hand. “Yes, it’s for a radiant and poised woman. Give me your best

rmendation.”

The saledy forced a smile on her face, pitying Rachel from within. She then started introducing them to one of the collections.

Two other salespeople stood at the cashier counter and started gossiping under their breath.

“Men are getting bolder nowadays! They used to bother keeping their affairs a secret. They’d bring the other woman to shop behind their wives‘ backs. I’ve never seen someone as bold as this guy!”

“Exactly! But he’s so handsome. I’d want to marry him if I were a woman.”

“I think thatdy next to him looks good, too. She’s beautiful–totally my cup of tea. Her cold and distant

aura feels so different from other women.”

“I agree. Her presence makes everyone else fade into the background. I seldom see someone with such an

aura.”

“But beautiful women often lead wretched lives. Men buy gifts for their affair partners behind their wives ‘backs, but she’s got it way worse. Her boyfriend’s tantly bringing her to pick a gift for his affair

partner.”

“Well, what else can she do? That’s how the world is bing nowadays. You must be prepared to suffer like this if you want a rich boyfriend.”

“You said it.”

Tyler overheard every word from the two salespeople’s conversation as the saledy attending to him was introducing them to a perfume collection.

He whispered into Rachel’s ear, “Why do salespeople love gossiping so much? Should I exin things to

them?”

b“/bNo need.”

Rachel grumbled inwardly, Was Tyler truly clueless as to why those two salespeople said what they said about them? It was all because of the deliberately suggestive answer he gave to the saledy’s question

earlier!

He tantly imed to be buying a perfume for another woman when he appeared to be shopping with

his girlfriend.

Who wouldn’t think in that direction?

Tyler stared at Rachel’s wless side profile, drawing iso /iclose he could even see the fine hair on her skin. Yet, he didn’t see any change in her face; it remained calm andposed.

He didn’t know whether her nonbative nature was a good thing or not.

By right, men should appreciate women who don’t kick up a fuss. Yet, he somehow felt ufortable with her underwhelming reaction.

The saledy introduced Rachel to some perfumes. She tried a few different bottles and finally ced three in front of Tyler.

“Try them yourself. See which suits her better.”

Tyler didn’t even bother looking at them and handed the decision to Rachel.

“I know nothing about this. It’s enough that you’ve tried it. A woman knows another woman best. I’m sure you’vee across a woman like her, and you’ll make the best choice. I’ll head over there and wait for

you.i” /i

Tyler pointed to the lounge area.

Rachel said nothing more and went back to sampling the three perfume bottles.

The saledy snuck a peek at Tyler, casually lounging on the couch, before turning her attention back to Rachel, who was choosing between the three perfume bottles with utmost seriousness. Pity grew in her

chest

She said in a soft voice, “I’m sure it’s tough being with a man like that. Miss, you look so beautiful, I’m

sure it’s not difficult for you to find another boyfriend. He doesn’t treat you as a fellow human being. You

can’t humiliate someone like this A woman should be shown respect and be treated with dignity.”

Rachel’s hand froze in mid–air at the saledy’s words. She turned to look at the saledy, noting thetter’spassionate expression.
