“Y-yes, sir!” Bree was so frightened that her voice was trembling slightly. “Who in world is this guy?” she wondered. ‘He didn’t even think twice before hitting Mister Edward.”


Diane tried on several garments again, all of which looked exceptionally good on her.


“I’ll take them all!” Severin smiled in satisfaction. He turned to Bree and said, “Could you let me know how much it all costs?”


“You’re taking…all… of them?” Bree was taken aback. The most expensive set that they tried on cost upward of about ten thousand, and the cheaper ones were worth a thousand or so. In total there were seven or eight garments, and their price would almost certainly come to a total of well over forty thousand.


“That I am. Did I not make myself clear?” Severin smiled faintly.


“Isn’t it a little excessive?” Diane found his gesture to be a little sweet because she never expected Severin to be so willing to spend money on her. Still, those five difficult years of her life made her feel that buying all those clothes was a bit too over the top.


“That’s what you call spending an arm and leg, right?” Severin remarked with a smile.


“Sir, the total price after the discount is forty thousand dollars!” Bree came back and said to Severin after she went to one side to do some calculations.


“Great. Now please pack them nicely for me!” Severin smiled and carried his woven bag to the cash register.


“No way! He bought…all of them?” Debra, who was standing not far away, was completely dumbfounded. She wondered if she was in some sort of weird dream where a villager wearing ill- fitting clothes and a woven bag could afford to buy clothes worth 40,000 dollars.


‘That sale should’ve been mine,’ she thought. The commission from that transaction was a hefty amount indeed, and because the clothes there were very expensive, being able to sell one or two garments worth less than a thousand was already an achievement. Meanwhile, dresses worth several thousand would usually sit on the shelves for months.


Surprisingly, Severin bought all of them at once.


“Is he really able to fork out that sum?” The other two senior employees were just as surprised. It was through sheer luck that Bree could make such a huge sale.


Since it was Bree’s first time handling such a big order, she was a little nervous and unconsciously uttered the line, “Would that be cash or card, sir?” She felt dumb after asking that question


because clearly, no one would pay such a huge sum in cash!


To her surprise, Severin smiled and said, “Cash!”


He opened the woven bag to reveal stacks of bills, all of which were tied up in bundles of one thousand. He counted forty-one stacks and tossed them on the counter. “That’s forty thousand, right? Here’s forty-one thousand. The extra is a little tip for you. You’ve provided good service, and your attitude has been excellent too!”


“A tip? But sir…that’s too much!” Bree was taken aback, for she had never imagined that she would receive a tip of a thousand dollars!


“Haha, that’s peanuts!” Severin laughed, closed the zipper of the woven bag, and carried the shopping bag out. Diane and Selene were waiting for him at the entrance.


“Whoa, Bree, you’re so lucky! You’ve made so much money with such a huge tip!”


“You’re going to get a big commission fee from this sale too! I’m so jealous!”


“It’s safe to say that you’ll have no problem being accepted as a full-time employee with that sale. Don’t you think you should treat us to dinner tonight?”


The senior employees looked jealous.


“Okay, okay. I’ll treat everyone to a nice meal tonight!” Bree smiled gleefully.


“Let’s find some clothes for Selene and my parents! too” Severin chuckled, and added as an afterthought, “By the way, I need to buy some toys for my daughter too!”


“What about you? You should buy some nicer clothes too. The ones you’re wearing don’t fit. well anymore!” Diane looked at Severin and reminded him.


Severin replied with a grin, “I didn’t expect you to care so much about me, honey.”


Diane was speechless. She rolled her eyes at him. “I’m just afraid that you’ll embarrass me if wore those clothes and stood by my side. Didn’t you know that I’m the most beautiful woman in the eyes of all those rich young men?”
