“This is the first time that brat is dating a woman, so we need to make sure that she’s impressed,”
Linda said.
“T–The first time?” Aurelia was shocked.
Considering Leslie’s looks, girls would be lining up to date him, so how could he have not gone on a
date before?
“He used to have his mind full with studying and now, it’s work. He keeps a straight face whenever
women approach him, so who would want to date him?” Linda shook her head with a bitter expression.
“I know that my divorce with his father hurt him. We only separated because there was a third woman,
so that caused Leslie’s resentment toward women in general. I’m getting old now and I’m worried that
he will stay alone forever if I leave one day. Aurelia, don’t blame me for being selfish or for asking you
to marry him. I’m just pleased that you two are getting along now.”
Linda tapped her on the back of her hand as she spoke.

and shop,”
“Mom, I’m the one who should be thanking you. You’ve helped me out. Aurelia said gently.
She didn’t have the heart to turn Linda down, so she linked arms with Linda and the two strolled into
the mall.
Like any daughter–in–law would, Aurelia bought two dresses for Linda, Though they were all
discounted products, Linda was grinning from ear to ear because of this.
She kept praising Aurelia for her great taste and telling others how caring she was.
“Look, we agreed on buying you a dress, but now you’re buying one for me. No more reckless
spending, alright?”
“Sure, Mom.” Aurelia nodded with a smile.
Subsequently, Linda led her to the Mulan counter.
A suited man hurried over upon seeing Linda. “Hello, M-”
Linda gave him a casual glance, and he immediately smiled and said, “Hello, Ms. Miller, the clothes you
ordered earlier are ready for you.”
“Good, bring them for this young lady to see.” Linda pointed at Aurelia.
The suited man looked at Aurelia and his smile widened. “Sure, sure. Please wait a moment. I’ll have
them delivered right away.”
“Thank you.”

Aurelia looked at the suited man and happened to see his name tag a he was the manager.
She was slightly taken aback. Linda was impressive to make even a manager so humble.
She often heard colleagues say that people working in luxury stores liked to look down on others. It
seemed that Linda’s aura was too commanding.
The manager wore white gloves and gestured to a rustic lounge area nearby. “Please have a seat and
take a rest. I’ll have some tea and snacks brought to you.”
Linda sat down slowly, motioning for Aurelia to join her. “Aurelia, come sit down and rest. You must be
tired from shopping just now.”
“Okay.”
Once seated, Aurelia leaned in and whispered in Linda’s ear, “Mom, the clothes here are expensive.
Let’s leave.”
“Don’t worry, I know people. I got the insider’s price,” Linda said mysteriously.
“Oh, I see.” Aurelia felt relieved.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted nearby. Aurelia peeked out and was surprised to see an argument.
It was Kimberly, Millie, and two other colleagues.
“What do you mean? Are you afraid that we can’t afford it? Why won’t you let us try these on? “Millie
complained.
“Miss, is this your first time coming to Mulan? Our clothes are hand–embroidered and made from
precious fabrics. Generally, we don’t allow customers to try them on. We are trained professionals, and
we can tell at a glance whether a piece suits you or not. This particular dress doesn’t suit you.”
The staff’s tone was polite, but she glanced at Millie’s mini handbag as she spoke.
Feeling like she was being looked down on, Millie retorted, “Impossible! If Aurelia can wear it, why can’t
I? I want this piece! Who do you think you are? How dare you stop a customer? You’re just a lowly
saleswoman!”
