Percy Stanton's face was light as he took out the card he had just used to pay for Isabel Smith's Chanel clothes from his wallet and handed it to the saleswoman. He settled the bill and waited for the saleswoman to pack the items before carrying them and leaving the shopping mall with Isabel Smith.
When shopping, time always seemed to fly by quickly. It was only after they finished that Isabel realized that nearly two hours had passed unconsciously.
They returned along the same path to the parking lot, where Percy waited for Isabel to get in the car before opening the rear car door and placing the items on the back seat. He then got into the car himself.
Although Isabel appeared to be aloof, she had become somewhat delicate and sensitive after the death of both her parents. This was her second time riding in Percy's car, but she noticed that a calm Percy would always respectfully open the car door for her first and wait for her to get in before doing anything else.
