The first aid kit fell to the ground, producing a crisp sound.
The shop assistant bent down suddenly to pick it up, but couldn’t resist her curiosity, as she tilted her head slightly, looking towards the door.
However, one glance, left her stunned, her heart trembling.
The man who entered was both tall and upright, his pace slow yet elegant, radiating a powerful and dangerous presence. His black coat open, revealing the white shirt underneath, the buttons at the collar undone, presenting both wildness and flamboyance, tinted with a sense of leisure.
Even though he was merely strolling calmly, it did not diminish the strong impact he made.
The shop assistant lowered her gaze, originally intending to continue looking for the medicine, but couldn’t help but again look towards him—
At this moment, the man stood idly by the side of the female customer, casually turning his head, his thin lips barely parting, as though he was saying something. The contour of his side profile was deep, hidden in a hazy halo, his eyes seemed to hold a bit of tranquility and gentleness, devoid of the coldness and danger from earlier.
This man was evidently dangerous, but with an immense allure.
And when he stood beside the female customer, they matched each other significantly.
Neither of them seemed ordinary.
It seemed as though the man perceived the gaze from this side, he swept a dismissive look in this direction. The cold gaze sent a shudder down the spine of the shop assistant, who then quickly lowered her head.
Picking up the first aid kit, the shop assistant stood up, nervously searching for the next medical items.
The dreaded part was—
She had completely forgotten due to the fright she’d received earlier.
Too embarrassed to ask, the shop assistant fought back tears as she started searching for medicines by memory, grabbing a large pile of wound medication and cold medicine, and finally, cautiously coming to the counter.
"Um," peering at her armful of medicines, Flossie was taken aback, "I didn’t ask for that much."
The shop assistant felt extremely awkward and was nearly reduced to tears. "No, no problem, they’re all yours."
Flossie laughed.
Is this how she does her business?
"Really, they’re all yours." As long as you leave quickly...
The shop assistant said while trembling all over, trying her best to not take a step back.
Her eyes welled up as she glanced at Flossie quickly, before lowering her gaze shyly.
Initially, there were two other people managing the store— the Boss and another shop assistant. But today, the Boss had gone to stock up on supplies and would only return in the afternoon, and the other shop assistant had taken a sick leave. So she was the only one left.
But being alone, she really couldn’t handle the situation.
Just with a glance, Flossie seemed to understand clearly.
This one was probably scared of Perry Reed... No, to be exact, she was scared of Perry Reed.
She turned her head and shot an teasing look at Perry Reed, he simply furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance.
This arrogant man was completely oblivious to the fact that the root of the problem was him!
Helpless, Flossie picked out a few types of medicines from the pile, along with some band-aids, and handed them to the shop assistant.
"Let’s check out."
Flossie spoke out.
"Uh..." she looked at Flossie, a little bothered, and only after confirming that she really wanted to check out, the shop assistant responded in a fluster, "Okay, okay."
Taking a step back, Flossie stood in front of the counter.
The shop assistant moistened her lips nervously. She became more tense under the watch of those four pairs of eyes and started trembling as she cashed out the medicines.
Finally, she raised her head stiffly and looked at Flossie, "Fifty three, I’ll drop the change."
Flossie turned to Perry Reed.
Besides one card, she only had small change. The bill needed to be picked up the indispensable Perry Reed.
However, Perry Reed had already taken out the money before she even gestured.
