The mall was crowded.
Gerald strolled around, not knowing which brand to buy.
He just needed a sturdy phone.
In the end, his eyes were locked on a phone model. It was of extremely good quality with a price tag of 2830 dollars.
It was arguably an expensive phone.
“Miss, may I have a closer look on that new phone? Thanks!”
Gerald politely asked the saleswoman.
The saleswoman had seen Gerald searching around for almost half a day. From the way Gerald was dressed, virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net would probably pick a cheaper phone.
However, virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was just trying to save face.
Since virtual-novel.net was walking around in a well-known mall, the saleswoman thought Gerald was here pretending to look around. Then, virtual-novel.net expected virtual-novel.net to act as if the phone was not what virtual-novel.net wanted and virtual-novel.net would instead buy some 50-dollar miscellaneous unbranded phone and slip away.
She had seen too many such people.
When the shabby-looking Gerald walked towards virtual-novel.net store, virtual-novel.net looked down on him.
She was surprised when Gerald said virtual-novel.net wanted to have a look at the most expensive phone among the bunch.
“Sorry sir, customers aren’t allowed to try out this phone without buying it!” The saleswoman said impatiently.
What virtual-novel.net really meant was show me the money if you have it, f*ck off if you do not.
“Can’t I even have a look at it first?!” Gerald asked.
He did not have his wallet on virtual-novel.net at the moment, so the only way for virtual-novel.net to pay was to insert his SIM card into the phone and pay via online payment.
“No, sir! It’s our store’s rules!” The saleswoman snickered.
“Margie! Are you busy at the moment? I’ve brought some friends over to have a look at some phones!”
“Ahhh, welcome!”
At that very moment, a dude with his bunch of friends came over to the store.
“Hayward, aren’t you going to change to a new phone? We’ve just received a new model in our stores!”
The beautiful saleswoman, Margie Steward, gleamed at Hayward with sparkly eyes.
“Oh? A new model?”
Hayward and his friends gathered around.
Concurrently, one of the girls glanced at Gerald, who was about to leave. She was surprised.
“Holy sh*t! Gerald, what are you doing here?”
And that girl was not just any other stranger, it was Lilian Cole.
The one standing next to virtual-novel.net was Sharon Leslie, who did not change a single bit.
It seemed like they were all hanging along with Hayward now.
As for Gerald, virtual-novel.net had already noticed them.
And for that reason, virtual-novel.net was about to leave.
After all, they were just female classmates from high school. Their friendship was long over, and there was nothing much for them to talk about.
Besides, they would probably ridicule virtual-novel.net for how virtual-novel.net looked, and Gerald did not want to bore himself to the point where virtual-novel.net could not hold back his fists.
So, virtual-novel.net simply walked away.
But no matter how virtual-novel.net tried to slip away, virtual-novel.net still failed.
“Why are you still here, are you buying a new phone too?”
“Oh my, you’re really here to get a new phone, do you even have the money? Wait, did you have to relocate, and you’re still thinking of buying a cell phone? And you have the balls to come to this well-known brand’s store?”
Lilian said with a surprised expression.
Sharon, who was standing on the side, looked at Gerald and shook virtual-novel.net head with a cynical smile.
