Chapter 30 - Couple or Not? (2/2)

He had fun watching her have a light bulb moment as she realized that yes, there's a possibility she had to attend events and she could wear the dress again. After all, with her current work, she always had to tag along with her boss and mingle from time to time.

”See?” Tohru looked smug at his quick thinking.

Before she thought of something else to say, he entered one of the boutiques, so, Yanee had no choice but to follow him. Inside, the attendants quickly welcomed them with a smile.

Yanee smiled back shyly, not because she was not used to buying things from high-end places like this. She was not a cheapskate and her family background certainly made her used to these kinds of places. Yes, Yanee's family had a company in Nagoya, it's why they settled there. It was just as soon as they got work, she and her sister became financially independent and didn't like wasting their hard-earned cash.

Without waiting for her, Tohru told the ȧssistant that they're there to check out ċȯċktail dresses for Yanee. The ȧssistant happily ushered them inside the shop and started showing them what they had.

Unbeknownst to Yanee, Tohru's sharp eyes spotted a sapphire and black colored ċȯċktail dress for a woman and a suit for a man in the same color motif, and inspiration hit him.

”Miss, could you get that for us?”Tohru requested causally as he pointed at the clothes in question.

”Oh, sir has good taste!” The ȧssistant was so excited as soon as she saw where Tohru was pointing at and didn't wait for another word before rushing to get the dress. She, of course, didn't forget to take the suit for the man as well, thinking that the customers must be a couple and it's why the handsome man asked about the matching outfits.

But Tohru signaled for her not to bring the suit, and so her mood fell, realizing that they only wanted the dress. She still smiled as she brought the dress to them, however. The ȧssistant just felt that it's a pity that they wouldn't be wearing the matching outfit.

”Try this one,” Tohru said as he handed Yanee the sapphire and black dress.

Yanee saw what the dress looked like and appreciated the potato's taste. She had to admit that it would look wonderful on her. The cut of the cloth would fit nicely to her curves but wouldn't make her look like a tramp. In fact, it would make her look elegant and stylish. The Sabrina style would also showcase her collarbones.

Since she had no complaints about the dress, she obediently went to the changing booth to try it on, not seeing the triumphant smile on her boss' face as soon as she left.

”We'll take that dress,”Tohru told the ȧssistant as soon as Yanee was gone.

”Er… You will not wait for the Miss to come out, sir?”

”No need. It will fit,” he answered.

The ȧssistant was hesitant, but noting the confident look on his face, she immediately changed her tune. ”I will process the purchase then sir,” she said.

”Wrap up the matching suit for me as well,” Tohru added which made the ȧssistant's face light up further.

”Yes, sir!”

So were they a couple? The ȧssistant wanted to know but didn't dare ask as she went on to finish up her task.

As Tohru had already expected, Yanee wouldn't come out of the dressing room to show him with the dress. When she came out, she was still wearing her original clothes but handed the dress to the staff and told her she liked it. With that, Tohru James successfully got them their first couple clothes.
