As soon as Felicia walked into the fitting room, I quietly informed the saleswoman of my identity.
After confirming it, the saleswoman bowed her head. "Mr. White, we welcome you to review the operations at our branch. The store manager is currently checking inventory in the warehouse and will be here shortly!"
"There's no need for the manager to be here. Just help me pick out a few outfits."
"Of course!"
Before she left, I added, "Oh, and don't let my friend know about my identity. Keep it low-key, and don't show it."
The saleswoman smiled sweetly as she made an "okay" hand gesture. "Don't worry. I understand!"
Moments later, Felicia stepped out of the fitting room.
I was instantly awestruck. She was already stunning in the outfit I bought her on the fly last time, but this time, her elegance was on a whole different level while she was in that short, sky-blue dress.
The spaghetti strap design accentuated her delicate shoulders and her shapely figure.
Her slender, fair limbs made certain parts of her body look even more prominent as if her curves were almost too developed.
Her lush hair cascaded down her back, and with those black-framed glasses still on, she exuded an unexpected blend of sexiness and charm.
The only thing that didn't match her look was her old, worn-out sneakers.
I quickly turned to the saleswoman. "Find her a pair of matching high heels."
While the saleswoman went to get the high heels, I approached Felicia and gently took off her glasses.
"I told you last time to change your glasses. Why are you still wearing these?"
Seemingly shy, Felicia said, "I got these when I was still a sophomore in high school. They cost over 300 dollars, and I've grown attached to them."
"N-no! It's fine!" Felicia tried to stop her, but it was too late. The saleswoman had already removed her sneakers, revealing the holes in her worn-out socks.
"Pfft! Hahaha! Felicia, are you trying to kill me with laughter? Did you come to Silence wearing socks with holes?
"Aren't you embarrassed? If I were you, I'd want to crawl into a hole. Oh, I have to take a picture and post this on my socials," Lina said.
She pulled out her phone to snap a shot of Felicia, but I quickly blocked her camera.
"William, what are you doing?" she snapped.
After snatching her phone, I knelt down beside Felicia. As I gently held her foot, I began taking off her socks.
To my surprise, underneath those shabby socks were the most delicate, fair feet I'd ever seen. They were gorgeous.
I often heard people talking about stunning legs, but I had never really understood the hype until now. Felicia's feet were just perfect.
