Charlie gladly agreed. Soon, the salesperson called another girl over. "Sayu, this VIP wants to see the bracelet. Please recommend something to him." 2
When the girl named Sayu learned that Charlie was a generous tycoon, she donned a broad smile and cheerily exclaimed, "Sir, please follow me."
Nanako hurriedly asked, "Charlie-kun, do you need me to try on the bracelet for you?"
Charlie smiled. "I intend to buy one for my mother-in-law. She’s a bit on the chubbier side, so there is no need to trouble you." 1
Nanako replied with a smile, "Right, then you go ahead. I would like to see the ring, is that okay?" 4
Charlie nodded. "Sure. I'll be over there to look at the bracelets."
Nanako smiled sweetly. "Okay!"
Only when Charlie went to the bracelet section did Nanako whisper to the salesperson responsible of the rings section, "Excuse me, the ring I tried on just now, i s it still in stock?" 2
The salesperson nodded gently and said, "Yes. We have three of these rings. Two were sold, and there is only one left now. Do you want it now?"
Overjoyed, Nanako whispered, "I can’t pay now. Can
you please keep it for me first? I'll have someone pay for it later. Oh, please adjust the ring to the same size a s before, okay?"
The salesperson replied politely, "No problem, Miss. Please let us know your name so that when the person of your choice pays the bill later, they can mention your name." 5
Nanako smiled in joy. "My last name is Ito. The person will inform you that they are paying for Ito-san." 2
The salesperson nodded. "Noted, Ito-san."
Nanako blinked and lowered her voice as she said," Please don't tell the gentleman who came with me. Keep it a secret!" 1
Although the salesperson was a little puzzled, she nodded respectfully and said, "Please don't worry.
After everything was settled, she trotted over to Charlie’s side, satisfied, and asked him with a huge smile, "Charlie-kun, have you picked the bracelet?"
Charlie nodded. "Yes, I even paid for them. By the way, Nanako, why are you so happy?"
He noticed that Nanako seemed to be extra chirpy than before and looked as if she was on cloud nine. 4
Nanako stuck out her tongue cheekily and replied with a wink, "It's a secret. I can’t tell you, or you’ll definitely laugh at me." 3
Charlie smiled faintly, "I won't do that!"
Nanako shook her head shyly. "Anyway, I can't tell you. It's too embarrassing."
Charlie shrugged helplessly. "Well, then. If you don't tell, I won't ask then..."
