REJECTING HER
Terrence was eyeing Vanessa as she tried to leech on him.
He has noticed it earlier.
The stares and the advances that Vanessa was giving to him.
"Sir, how about this product?" Vanessa smiled as she took a black shirt off the side. "I think this would look good on you."
She walked towards Terrence and placed her hands on his shoulder, showing her red-painted nails.
Terrence looked at the shirt in Vanessa's hand. He slowly nodded. 'Her suggestion was actually good,' he thought.
"Put it in the basket," Terrence uttered, which made Vanessa smile successfully.
Terrence shrugged her shoulders. 'At this point, this girl will think that I'm buying these clothes because of her.'
He took a deep sigh. That wasn't the case at all.
Terrence looked at his cart. At his estimate, there were already almost $400 worth of products inside. He should stop buying things for himself and look for something for his family.
"You can leave me now. I'm done buying for myself." Terrence looked at Vanessa.
Vanessa's eyes immediately widened at what she heard.
'Are my advances not working on him? But so far, no men made me leave their side!' She stared at Terrence.
Terrence was already his 5th customer for today. So far, she gained a lot of tips from assisting men.
Of course, she was picky with whom to assist. She made sure that those men had money on them.
An awkward laugh escape from Vanessa's mouth, "Hahaha, Sir. I'm here to assist you. Why would I leave your side?"
Vanessa made her voice seductive. She secretly looked down at her clothes. 'Is it because I'm not showing my cleavage?' she tilted her head to the side.
She was already thinking of unbuttoning two of the upper buttons of her top if she was given a chance. 'Since this guy is handsome, then I think it would be fine.
Terrence took a deep breath. 'Oh, well…'
"Fine then. But help me find some clothes for my family." Terrence eyed Vanessa.
Although Vanessa looked pretty, she wasn't Terrence's type, so her advances weren't really working.
Terrence could say that Vanessa looked sexy, especially with the way she looked and moved, but he thought that she was too old for him.
What's more, Vanessa was showing signs of being a gold digger.
The stares from Vanessa's co-workers and her confident movements proved his point. It was as if she was used to this.
He, in no way, would give a chance to people like that.
Vanessa, who heard what Terrence said, secretly celebrated. "I knew it! No man can really resist my charms." She thought.
"Of course, Sir. Let me lead you the way." Vanessa stepped to the side.
She took this as an opportunity to swiftly unbutton her top's upper button. She fixed her clothes after and made sure that her cleavage could be seen even from a distance.
When she was done, she turned her head to Terrence. "So, Sir, what kind of clothes do you like?" Vanessa bit her lower lip as she eyed Terrence.
Terrence's eyes flew to the view being displayed in front of him. "I don't know. Just normal clothes, I guess." He answered as he moved his eyes to the side, looking away.
Vanessa smiled in success when she saw how Terrence looked at her. "I just need to assist this guy well, then I can give him my number after. Maybe he wants to have some fun."
Vanessa couldn't deny the fact that Terrence was really handsome. He looked mature and domineering.
"Just give me 2 clothes fitted for an 18-year-old girl, another 2 for someone in her 50s and another 2 for a guy in his 50s."
Terrence realized that it was already late. If he stayed for too long, then he would come home very late.
'I didn't know shopping is so tiring. I wonder how girls could do these in hours?' He wondered.
Just an hour, and he was already bored going around.
Vanessa nodded her head. She set aside her hidden intention and worked on Terrence's request. It didn't take her long before she got everything.
"Is this fine, Sir?" Vanessa showed Terrence all the clothes she had brought.
"Yeah. That's fine already."" Terrence nodded even though he really hadn't thoroughly checked all of them.
The two of them proceeded to the counter for the payment afterwards. Since Terrence took a lot of clothes, it took him a long time to pay. The cashier had to remove the safety tags one by one.
"The total is $538, Sir." The cashier read the total bill on her screen.
"Okay," Terrence nodded.
He placed his hands in his pocket and thought of the money he needed. Since he still has $250 from his wages these past few days, he only decided to take $350 out of his money from the system.
"System, give me $350."
[Request is being processed…]
It only took a few seconds before Terrence felt something cold on his palms.
[$350 has been deducted from your balance.]
Terrence grinned. 'Nice!'
Terrence took out all the money from his pocket. All in all, there was $600 in his pocket. Terrence counted the bills in his hand.
"Here," Terrence gave the cashier a total of $540.
"I received $540, Sir." The cashier confirmed before pressing the buttons on the computer to open where the money was hidden.
"Here's your change, Sir." The cashier gave the $2 to Terrence before handing him the paper bag.
"Thank you for shopping with us, Sir." The cashier respectfully uttered before focusing on the customer next to Terrence.
[Ding!]
[You gained 50 EXP]
[You earned $807!]
[Ding! You have been granted 30 exp for your first big purchase.]
Terrence smiled widely as he heard the system. ''80exp? That means I can already level up!" he silently celebrated.
Terrence was about to leave when a hand stopped him.
"Sir…" Vanessa looked at Terrence as if he had been forgetting something.
Terrence saw how Vanessa looked at him with pleading eyes. He took a deep breath and took some money from his pocket.
He smiled at Vanessa before giving her only $20.
"W-What?!" Vanessa exclaimed as she looked at Terrence with glaring eyes. "What is the—"
"I'm poor..." Terrence's smile was replaced by a grin as he dropped the words he had meant to say since earlier. "And you're not my type."
