Chapter 29 Woman's Wardrobe
Lauren drove Zachary to Lorenzo Road, which was the most lively Business Street in Ludington City, in less than 15 minutes.
Looking at the extravagant shops and well-dressed passers-by, Zachary sighed, "Sister Lim, everything here must be very expensive, right?"
Lauren rolled her eyes at Zachary and teased, "Zachary, I saw you receiving two million yuan a few days ago. I'm afraid there aren't many rich people in Ludington City if you still consider yourself poor." Zachary was startled. He just realized that he was already a millionaire. He scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile, "Sister Lim, please don't make fun of me. I've been poor for a long time. I've never been to such a place." "Well, I'll treat you to lunch as an apology, but it's still early. Let's go shopping and buy some clothes for you," Lauren grabbed Zachary's arm and dragged him into a high-end boutique before he could say anything.
A man could never believe how energetic women could be when they went shopping. They went to four or five stores and shopped for more than two hours. Zachary was holding a lot of shopping bags in his hand. Inside the shopping bags were all the clothes that Lauren had chosen for him.
Lauren had good taste. She matched several sets of clothes, including formal suits, casual clothes, and sportswear for him. All of them accentuated Zachary's charisma and he looked like a different person in those clothes.
After putting on the clothes, Zachary felt that what he had worn before were all ragged. Of course, the price was also very different. The most expensive clothes that Zachary had ever owned were no more than 200 yuan. But now, he was spending 50, 000 yuan for four sets of clothes.
"Let's go. That shop looks good!" Lauren's eyes lit up when she spotted another shop.
"Sister Lim, I think these clothes are more than enough for me. You don't have to buy any more clothes," Zachary was overwhelmed with the endless shopping.
"Zach, I know you've bought enough. But I haven't bought anything yet. Let's go!" Lauren smiled charmingly.
Zachary had no choice but to quicken his pace and followed her with the shopping bags in his hands.
Zachary was already overwhelmed when they were shopping in the men's clothing section. And he was on the verge of collapse as they shopped at the women's section. After trying on more than 20 pieces of clothing, Lauren still failed to find a satisfactory one.
It was not until this moment that Zachary understood the fact that a woman would never have enough clothes.
The salesgirl in the store was a girl in her twenties. She approached Lauren and introduced herself, "Miss, take a look at this if you are not satisfied with those clothes. We just ordered a gown from the UK. It was designed by Mr. Davis, the famous designer in the UK who designed the apparels for the current princess of the UK. You are..."
Lauren's eyes lit up and demanded before the salesgirl could finish her words, "Let me have a try."
A few minutes later, the door of the fitting room was opened. Zachary's eyes lit up.
Lauren was wearing a dark red dress. Her body fit perfectly in the dress because of the exquisite tailoring. The design of the dress was gorgeous but not flamboyant. This made her looked more elegant and noble in addition to her charm. "Zach, how do I look?"
"Beautiful!" Zachary nodded his head quickly. Even though he knew nothing about fashion, he could tell that this was a high-quality dress. It suited Lauren very well.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"I must really look good in this since you have said so," Lauren smiled charmingly at Zachary. Then, she said to the salesgirl, "I want this dress."
The salesgirl beamed, "Okay. Please come over here and pay the bill." This dress was very expensive and the salesgirl could get a lot of commission if she sold it. "Miss, the total is 100,000 yuan." Lauren nodded her head and opened her purse to get her credit card.
Zachary sauntered over and grinned, "Sister Lim, let me pay for this dress."
"Zach, this is 100,000 yuan!" Lauren looked at Zachary and teased.
"It's okay! It's not a big deal if it's a gift for you," Zachary smiled. "Besides, you have bought me many clothes. It's okay for me to buy one for you."
Lauren was not a hesitant person. She narrowed her eyes, "Well, it'll be rude for me to reject your kind offer." Then, she turned around and went to the fitting room to change back her clothes. "Pay by card," Zachary said while taking out his credit card and handed it to the salesgirl. He had transferred all the money from the other cards to one for convenience's sake.
The salesgirl was envious of Lauren to have a man pay for her bill. Why couldn't she meet such a generous man?
All of a sudden, a yell of amazement sounded just as she was about to swipe the card.
"Brother Wan, that dress is so beautiful. I want it! Can you buy it for me?" A well-dressed, wavy-haired woman exclaimed.
Beside her, a bald middle-aged man with a big belly waved his hand, "We will buy whatever you like."
Janet, the woman, kissed Brother Wan's cheek. "Brother Wan, you're so nice to me." She shouted excitedly at the salesgirl, "Get me that gown."
The salesgirl said, "I'm sorry, this dress is specially ordered from the UK. There is only one in the store and this gentleman has already bought it."

"Only one?" Janet frowned. Her gaze fell on Zachary, who was standing at the counter. Scanning his simple casual clothes, she ordered condescendingly, "Give this dress to me!"
Janet's arrogant look and commanding tone baffled Zachary. Why were there so many self-righteous people in the world?
He said deeply, "I'm sorry, I'm buying this dress." Then, he turned to the salesgirl, "Miss, I want to pay the bill now."
Janet was stunned because she never expected such a casually dressed guy to refuse her. After a pause, she seemed to think of something and took out her wallet with a sneer. She took out five hundred-yuan notes and threw them to Zachary. She said arrogantly, "This money will be yours if you give me that dress."
Looking at the notes on the ground, Zachary stood still and his voice grew colder, "I'm buying the dress. I won't give it to you."
"Is the money not enough?" The bald man asked as he strode over, gazing up at Zachary. He then took out a stack of notes from his leather wallet and waved them in his hand, saying, "Boy, this is 5000 yuan. You can have it after you give me the dress. I guess this is more than your monthly salary."
Zachary stood his ground, "I'll repeat one last time. I won't give the dress to you. Please go somewhere else if you really want to buy the dress." He was already a little furious.
Janet was used to being pampered. She became furious when the poor boy in front of her refused her demand. "Boy, look at me. Do you know who I am?"
Zachary took a few glances at her and said coldly, "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know who you are either."
"Bast*rd, you..." Janet was pissed off. "My name is Janet Wang. Perhaps I can forgive you if you apologize to me immediately."
"Janet Wang? Who is that?" Zachary shook his head. He seemed to have heard of this name before. However, he was not familiar with it. He then turned around to urge the salesgirl for the bill.
