Chapter 460 - SPOILING A GIGOLO (1/2)

Kaito looked at Nicole with narrowed eyes.

He could see through her nefarious plot of making these people misunderstand the situation. However, he did not understand what she could gain from it. Even though people thought they were together, she would be more harmed by the rumours than him.  ​​

He did not have power on Martial Island, so it was completely useless for her to attempt to manipulate public opinion to force his hand. His position right now was one of a returning child of the Iekami clan, so he was not worth the time or effort.

Kaito did not believe that she was in love with him. Her interest looked like an obsession for something she had heard about, like a child who had never eaten a hamburger. The imagination based on stories and descriptions was always better than reality.

The shop attendants hurried and returned, each with several clothes on hangers. These were in a range of colours and patterns. As experienced individuals, they could recognise the size of their customers, so this aspect was not a big problem.

”Miss Jiang, would you like to select clothes for the gentleman to try?” The shop attendant asked with an ingratiating smile.

Nicole's cheeks became a little red as she snuck a look at Kaito. She wanted to pick out clothes for him because she felt it was the kind of thing that girlfriends would do. But she was also cautious about pushing too hard.

If she annoyed Kaito, she would lose the advantage she had by meeting Kaito first. It was not worth it to get such a small gain and lose the final game. With that, she calmed down. She could not be too anxious about capturing Kaito.

Based on what her master had said, Kaito would be on the island until the championships. Even if he was free to move around, he probably will not be able to leave. She had time.

”No. I am not the one who is going to be wearing them.” She said with aloofness, but a little humour in her tone let the attendants know she was not mad.

Nicole backed away from the centre stage and found a place to sit down. Kaito took the opportunity to pick out some clothes carelessly. He had gotten used to wearing training clothes, but he missed choosing his wear.

He did not hesitate to choose the finest things with a careless hand. It was not his money, so he would not skimp. It was a good day to enjoy limited freedom. His mouth arched into a small smile.

”I will take those.” He said with the casualness of a man who did not mind shopping for his own clothes.

They could not believe how shameful the man was. He had practically swept the store clean of all the exclusive wear available. They thought he would pick an outfit or two, but he had just picked seven full suits along with other accompanying wear.

Even though the sale meant a lot of commission for the attendants, they felt sorry for Miss Jiang. The suits alone cost a lot because they were designer items. Furthermore, things were pricier on the island because of the complexity of shipping.

Most shrewd people chose to get a permit to leave the island and shop outside for large volume purchases. Otherwise, it was a huge loss. So, seeing a man spending a woman's money without a care was a bit discomfiting.

”Miss Jiang…” One of the attendants called softly.

Nicole was a short distance away, but she saw the awkward standoff and walked up. ”Is there a problem?”
