Chapter 97 - 97: Shopping (1/2)

(Michelle POV)

In the end, I decided to book a suite room almost triple the price of the standard room simply because I can. What? I can spend money like dirt, and I need to get the key early. Only by booking a suite room can I get the VIP service. Ah, I can already imagine the sweetness between me and Anthony.

Before I could further my daydreaming, my cellphone began ringing. I saw that Andy was calling. It was already 3:10pm. I pressed the answer button.

”Hi Mich! Where are you, I'm already here.” Andy said.

”Oh, ok.. Let's meet at the ground floor under the atrium. I'll head there now.” I replied.

”Alright then.” he replied.

”Ok, see you.” I said then hanged up.

I crossed the street and went inside the mall.

(Third POV)

Although Daman mall was a mall serving the upper class, when Andy entered the mall, some people still gave him a second and third look. Not only because of his handsomeness but also because his face was quite recognizable. He paid the people no mind as he walked to his and Michelle's meeting place.

Upon entering the mall, Michelle was able to spot Andy right away. Seeing him who was leaning on one plant box, looking like a movie star who just came out of the screen, which for her, he literally was. She could not help but smile. Anyhow, before she can reach him, he was able to see her.

Andy who saw Michelle smiling at his direction while approaching him felt the butterflies fluttering in his stomach. Although he did have plenty of girlfriends, they were mostly fuck buddies or simply flings in his dictionary. He doesn't actually date them. Truth was, he only ever dated a girl for real once. It has been a while since then. Also, having a date with Michelle this time felt brand new. He smiled and decided to meet her halfway.

”Hello Andy, have you been waiting long?” Michelle greeted and asked.

”No, not at all. I should be the one asking you that. I hope you weren't too bored while waiting.” He replied.

Michelle shook her head, ”I looked around.”

”Eh? You didn't have to do that without me.” Andy said, though deep inside, he was flattered and feeling very happy.

Michelle giggled, ”Not for you, just for me. Anyhow, where do you want to start?”

Andy who thought that she was just making some excuse just chuckled. ”You're my boss now, so you lead the way.”

”Ok, perhaps we should start with the boutique stores. Let's go”?”

”Alright.”

The first store they entered was Giorgio Armani. Upon entering, a female staff welcomed them both then started offering her assistance.

Michelle started asking about the men's clothing and the female staff offered to guide her. Before walking with the staff, Michelle faced Andy.

”I will start looking over there. Would you like to join me?” Michelle asked.

Andy shook his head, ”You go check over there, I will just look over here first.” He answered.

With that, they separated ways inside the store.

Reaching the men's clothing section, Michelle started looking at the hanged clothes which would match the checkered purple scarf. Honestly, just a white shirt and jeans would most probably do, but she felt excited to play dress up with Andy, the nation's husband in the future. Don't blame her, she was also a girl.

The staff with her started to ask her preference and introducing the new arrivals and talking about what's new that season. Michelle just nodded her head and started picking whichever stroke her fancy that would probably look nice on Andy. She picked about 5 tops which the staff carried for her. Then, looking at the pants, since she did not know Andy's size, she asked the staff to ask as she continue to look around.

She wondered if she should buy something for Anthony too. Ah, maybe she should.
