Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 17 - Buy This. Buy That. Buy It All?

~Moonlight Outlet~

Just as Raelle stepped inside the store, she was welcomed by the proficient, deferent, and well-mannered staff. They were wearing cream-colored uniforms with golden details. In fact, the whole store was decorated in neutral tones. And the dazzling light of the gems gave this whole store a glamorous feeling.

Even the exquisite chandelier above was made of crystals. Rows and rows of beautiful jewelry, watches, other accessories were lined up. It was certainly like walking into a gems dreamland.

"Miss, how may I help you?" asked one of the shop attendants behind the glass counter.

Raelle focused her eyes on her and replied, "I'm looking for something I can give as a present."

"What kind of a gift do you have in mind? For instance, pendants, bracelets, earrings, watches, or anything special you have in mind?"

When given so many options, Raelle felt a little taken aback. Did she have to choose from all that? It was like a multiple-choice question that she didn't know an answer for. This was the reason she wanted that idiot Hyson to come with her. But now, that idiot was outside eating his cake. He didn't even hesitate before abandoning her over his cake.

Raelle stared at the smiling attendant and said, "How about you show me the best of everything? I'll make up my mind after seeing everything."

"Miss, why don't you take a seat over there and I'll bring everything to you?"

Raelle looked over at the sitting area where some ladies were already sipping on tea while they looked at the expensive new collection. She didn't want to go over. She was fine where she was.

"I'm fine here," she flashed her perfect smile.

Although Raelle was dressed in plain jeans and an oversized knit, however, the shop attendant didn't dare to treat her as just anyone. One, their boss always said that the employees were the face of the brand and their manners should be impeccable. Two, although Raelle was low-key, the platinum pendant adorned with the famous 'pink star' diamond that she wore was enough to show her status.

The shop attendant had immediately caught on to the special pendant because of its unique style. It had a special design of a butterfly trio with a cascading crescent moon motif. The crescent moon was adorned with the pink star diamonds. While the crescent moon represented dreams, the butterflies were given a symbol of rebirth and change. This delicate artistic pendant was that's why named, Dream of Change.

As for how the shop attendant knew about this... This was one of the original's created by the founder of their brand. She wouldn't mistake it even if she wanted to. After all, the pendant was auctioned at a whopping price!

She differentially went around and brought the best of the best from the newest collection and lined it up before Raelle on the glass counter. Soon, the manager also came to greet Raelle, not wanting to offend her. After all, if she wore that pendant, it was obvious that she was not to be trifled with and they couldn't afford to slight her in any way.

As for Raelle, she was so accustomed to people treating her like this that she didn't even find it odd anymore. But the collection that they laid before her was really giving her some trouble. How was she supposed to pick only one thing from all these pretty things? Buy this rose gold watch? Or buy that platinum ear cuff? She'd rather just buy it all to save herself some trouble. But if she did that, her grandfather won't be happy.

She rummaged out her phone and dialed Hyson's number. "Where are you? Why aren't you coming inside already?" She could hear his harsh breathing as if he was running and it didn't her a moment to catch on, "Don't tell me someone recognized you?"

"I really didn't think I'd find a fan when I was just eating a cake. Can you believe it? It got so crowded instantly that I had to run away. Sorry! I don't think I can come back!" Said Hyson in tried to catch his breath. "I'm thirsty after running so much."

"I left you for five minutes and you got yourself in trouble?"

"My luck is really not good," replied Hyson.

"You're the most useless friend!" said Raelle but she didn't sound annoyed at all. Her voice was still as leveled as before and it still sounded pleasing. "Now, how am I gonna decide what to buy?"

"I have an idea," he spoke up.

"What?"

"Just close your eyes and put a finger on one. Leave it all to fate," suggested Hyson with a grin plastered on his lips. Even though he was hiding from his fans, he still had the time and mood to joke around with her. "Or, you can just do Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. It always helps me when I can't decide the flavor of my ice cream."

"Scram!" was the last thing Raelle said before she hung up. Meanwhile, Hyson had burst out laughing at her reaction.

After hanging up, Raelle looked at the things before her all over again as she listened about the unique designs, perfect and delicate craftsmanship, and the material used. She looked at the shop attendant and said, "Oh, you're a girl as well."

The shop attendant was taken aback. Did she just realize her gender?

Raelle elaborated immediately, "I mean, you're a girl so I can take your suggestion. So, just for a moment, forget your identity, and just as a girl tell me, which one of these would you like to receive as a gift?"

"Miss, all of these are our finest crafts..."

Before she could continue, Raelle stopped her, "I asked you a very simple question. Don't try to sell this to me. I know everything is not only beautiful but also delicately created. But what I want to know is which one you like personally. One that you would want to save money to buy."

The shop attendant pursed her lips and hesitated but before Raelle's eyes, she couldn't help lifting her finger and pointed at a pendant. "This pendant with heart looped through infinity represents, Forever Love. I personally would love to have this."

Raelle, for the first time, picked something and touched it carefully as she said, "Indeed. Girls do love things like these. Alright then, I'll have this."

As she stretched her hand to give it back to the shop attendant, someone else snatched it from her hand rudely and Raelle heard a delicate voice saying, "This looks beautiful. I want this."
