Persephone stood in stunned silence as the voice echoed. A tall figure approached, his broad shoulders reaching out to grab her.
Unintentionally, her gaze caught two shadows on the wall, merging into one, and she blushed.
Morpheus swiftly took the credit card from her hand, slamming it onto the counter. "What are you buying?" he asked.
Caught off guard, she stammered, "N-Nothing..."
"Buy anything you'd like," he commanded, his voice gentle despite his fierce appearance. "I have money. Let's see who dares to look down on you here!"
A tickling sensation warmed Persephone's heart, an odd but pleasant feeling.
Seeing that Morpheus was so muscular and fierce he could totally play a bandit in a movie, the shop assistant dared not offend him, even though she looked down on him.
"Alright, sir." She smiled, packing the items Persephone had chosen. "I'll ring up the bill."
Morpheus remained silent, coldly staring.
After paying, Persephone held his arm and playfully said, "Morpheus, she said I couldn't afford their stuff!"
Morpheus looked blank, trying to comprehend her intentions. After paying for her, shouldn't he have claimed justice on her behalf? The shop assistant had been polite, so what more did she want?
But she held his arm.
Suppressing a smile, he remained composed. "Oh," he said, unfazed. "What do you want?"
She smirked. "I don't want them! Get me a refund!"
The shop assistant was dumbstruck. Although the store's inventory was not extensive, Persephone demonstrated shrewdness in selecting the pricier items. The cumulative cost amounted to a significant figure.
A commission would be earned based on the total bill.
Furthermore, hardly anyone sought refunds for this particular brand. Customers willingly paid a premium for the exceptional quality and customer service it offered. It was a prominent A-list brand.
"Don't make me repeat myself!" He advanced a step, his gaze overpowering and icy, chilling the entire store.
The shop assistant had no choice but to process the refund for them.

Persephone trailed behind Morpheus on the way home until they reached their destination.
After bidding farewell to Wynn, she cautiously approached him.
Standing next to him as he opened the door, she caught his glance.
Persephone was petite, only reaching his shoulders. She was no longer the fierce, wild cat he first encountered. Instead, she had transformed into a submissive rabbit.
He couldn't help but smile.
