I Breathe Euro

Chapter 5: Clothes and Watches.

As Yana was driving, Jack was sitting in the passenger seat; both didn't talk.

"Ahem!!" Jack cleared his throat; his intention was to break the ice.

"Don't," Yana said without any emotion.

"But," Jack was perplexed; why had she claimed that he was her boyfriend?

"Not now. Before the day ends, I'll answer," Yana said.

"Okay," Jack didn't mind; as per say, who wouldn't want to be a boyfriend of such a sexy girl?

"So where are we going?" Jack asked.

" Maximilianstrasse, That's where luxury brands are. I am sorry. What's your budget again?" Yana, who was casually taking Jack to luxury shops, remembered Jack was not like her; she was born rich, but what about Jack?

"Well, between 100-200." Jack, who was very handsome, blushed slightly, wondering what would happen if he didn't have enough money to buy brand clothing.

Yana's eyes widened in shock. That's very low. If you go into Dior, you can't even buy a shirt of your choice.

Seeing her shocked expression, Jack was embarrassed; he was actually talking about 100-200k but to look cool. He casually said "100-200" in front of Yana.

"Jack, I saw your money bag still got 500€; why won't you use it full?" Yana remembered Jack's money bag.

" Eh? But I'll be using my card to make payment," Jack said. He was still blushing hard because he was from a struggling family; he always gets nervous whenever it's about money.

"Okay, no worries, I'll buy you if you can't afford it; don't worry, you can repay me back." Yana calmed down a lot; she could just pay for his shopping.

On the day of orientation, Yana noticed Jack's shy demeanor and his tendency to conceal his face with his hair. Yana liked how gorgeous and brilliant he was.

" Yeah? Okay, but don't take me somewhere where you can't even buy clothes with 100-200 thousand euros," Jack said casually, almost dropping a bomb on Yana.

"What?! ! 200k Euro? That's your budget?" Yana almost screamed.

"Yes, is it not enough?" Jack was confused by her ever-changing emotions.

"It's enough; I'll transform you into a prince; just trust me, okay?" Yana smilingly said.

"I do trust you; that's why I asked you."

Yana said, "We are here; I'll just park in front of this shop," referring to a Gucci store.

"Let's go," Yana, taking Jack's hand, pulled him into the Gucci store.

"Hello ma'am, sir." A woman came to greet them as they entered the shop.

"Track suits for him," Yana didn't waste anytime; she just said the thing she wanted.

"Follow me, ma'am," the woman in question said, understanding that the customer was here to make a purchase and was not new to shopping for luxury brands.

"Black, golden, white track suits." Yana pulled out a tracksuit from the hangers, then handed Jack the clothes and pushed him in to the nearby changing room.

Jack was confused as fuck: where would he wear this? Jogging? Gym? After wearing the black one, Jack came out.

"Wow," Yana said, checking him out from head to toe.

"Sir does look good," the saleswoman praised.

"Okay, pack these three," Yana ordered the saleswomen.

Then she took Jack to the overcoat section and bought several overcoats.

"You like floral shirts? I mean, will you go to a beach?" Yana asked, as they were in the floral shirts department.

"I don't think so," Jack said after considering every possibility.

"Okay, let's go check out their T-shirt section." Yana again started to pull Jack towards the T-shirt section.

After buying 15-20 T-shirts, Yana took him to the pants section and bought 10-15 jeans.

"Let's go; this store is looking boring." After purchasing almost everything, Yana, with a hand in her waist, was feeling bored.

"This is enough, right?" Jack was feeling tired; shopping was not for him.

"What are you saying? We need to buy bags for you, along with shirts, paints, ties, shoes, underwear, and other essentials. Let's go; the whole street is waiting for us." Yana seemed offended by Jack's lack of enthusiasm.

After shopping at luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Tom Ford, Givenchy, and Saint Laurent, she took Jack to formal stores such as Brioni and Kiton to create custom suits for him.

Dozens of bags were blocking Jack's hand, and he regretted ever inviting this shopping maniac to join him.

Jack, trailing behind the struggling shopping goddess, mentally uttered the word 'System'.

[Congratulations on using 100,000€ and leveling up]

[Level 2: Please use 10,000,00€ to level up.]

[One breath = 2€]

[Ding! Level-up bonus = 100,000 euros]

[Balance: 265,000€]

Jack was delighted to see the system leveling up and him getting a bonus.

"Jack, how much did we spend?"" Yana, who was now putting bags inside her car, said, "The car is full of bags."

"About 120,000€," Jack said while still holding dozens of bags. The car was full of bags, and his hands were too.

"Let's take a taxi home, eh?" Yana erupted into laughter as the car swelled with bags. If Jack adds more bags to the car, it will block both front seats.

"I think so too, so let's go?" Jack asked because Yana was preparing to go back for more shopping.

"Yeah, no, let's get you some watches; we still have 80K€ left, right?" Yana was eager to buy some watches for Jack.

"Yeah, let's go." Jack, who was dead tired, couldn't show his dissatisfaction because he was the one who invited Yana in the first place, and he wanted a watch desperately.

He was a watch enthusiast; he always enjoyed watching videos of celebrities' watch collections.

"Jack, let's go to this place.?" Yana asked, as every man has their choice of watches, and the store she was pointing at was Rolex.

"Yes, they got some nice watches." Jack, as the first luxury watch of his, didn't mind a Rolex.

After entering the shop, I saw a number of watches. You can tell it's a luxury store just by looking around.

Yana and Jack looked around the store and didn't find any watches that could catch their eyes.

Yana then took Jack to an employee who was behind the counter, all smiles.

"Hello, Ma'am, Sir, It appears that our display collection didn't meet your expectations. It was a male employee; his job is to sell watches and get commissions, but when Jack and Yana were looking around for several minutes, he didn't disturb them. 'Nice service,' Jack thought in his mind.

"If you want to see some exclusive stuff, I'll bring it to you; you can sit down on the couch over here." The employee very enthusiastically led Jack and Yana to a nearby couch.

"I'll prepare some great watches for you; will it be for you, ma'am and sir?"" Employee asked very politely.

Yana said, "It's for him; show us some automatic." as she sat on a couch after a long day.

"Yes, I'll prepare the watches; meanwhile, enjoy our complimentary refreshments." The employee said this, stood up from the chair in front of the couch, and entered deep into the shop.

"Nice shop," Jack said.

As soon as the employee left, some butler-looking guy came in with a tray in hand, and then he served it on the tea table.

Jack was impressed by the items on the table; both of them had come from the university. After shopping all day, he was tired, and the refreshments were essentially helping him recover some energy.

Two glasses of fruit juice and fresh fruit platters.

Jack was amazed when he took a sip of the juice; it felt too refreshing.

"Nice, isn't it? Made with sparkling water, it seems they are very eager to make a sale today," Yana said while eating fresh fruits.

After they finished their refreshments, the employee came with a box in hand.

"Sorry for being late." The employee apologized for nothing, even though Jack and Yana's meal was the reason for his delay.

"It's okay; Jack here is a Rolex fan and wanted to buy a watch," Yana said.

"Of course, and I am here to provide it; let's start with a Rolex Daytona. Yellow gold was used in this." The employee, who was now wearing gloves, showed a golden-colored watch to Jack.

"How much is it?" Jack wanted to see if it's too expensive for him.

"It cost around 45000€, sir." Employee politely said, Jack and Yana were looking at the display watches; it showed a price tag, and prices were around 5-10k€.

Jack took the watch in his hand; it felt good—heavy and metal. Then his eyes went to the box where all the expensive watches were, and inside he saw a shiny white watch, which was glowing.

"Can you show me that?" Jack said while giving back the watch he was holding because it looked pale compared to the watch he has his eyes on.

"Sir, ma'am." The employee, who was examining the watch to which Jack was pointing, hesitated a bit before turning his gaze to Yana's face. Yana was wearing a Panther Cartier, which was around 60k€, so she knows her stuff. On the other hand, Jack was wearing some old clothes.

"Show him." Yana was a little angry. How dare this employee do this?

"Y...yes, sir, this is a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with 18k ever rose gold adorned with diamond set bezel and dial." The employee presented Jack with a stunning watch, adorned with diamonds on both the dial and bezel.

"It's very good-looking," Yana complimented.
