Chapter 10
The salesgirl's mind was completely blown by Alex's casual generosity.
To confirm she wasn't dreaming, she secretly pinched her arm hard enough to make her cute pink tongue poke out in pain.
"Any questions?" Alex asked calmly when he noticed her dazed expression.
"Ah… no, nothing at all! I'll pack everything right away!" the girl replied, her face flushing with excitement.
A sale worth four hundred and eighty grand meant her commission alone would be tens of thousands — more than her entire annual salary. She had never imagined such luck would fall into her lap.
After collecting the watches, Alex and Sophia loaded everything into the Pagani.
"This car is getting a bit small," Alex muttered with mild dissatisfaction. "When I have time, I should get something bigger. It's becoming inconvenient."
Sophia was momentarily speechless. This Pagani Huayra was brand new, and he already wanted to upgrade? Knowing his status, the next car would likely cost millions.
Even though she dealt with billions daily as CFO, watching Alex spend so freely still left her stunned.
'My new boss is truly on another level…'
"I still feel like it's not enough. Let's continue somewhere else," Alex said casually.
"Not… enough?" Sophia's usually icy face showed genuine surprise, as in just one hour they had already spent over seven hundred thousand dollars, and he still wasn't satisfied?
Alex took Sophia's hand and drove to another upscale luxury mall.
The atmosphere here was even more exclusive — most visitors only dared to browse, never actually buying.
While exploring a high-end handbag boutique, Alex noticed Sophia's eyes linger on an elegant lady's bag.
"This one looks nice," he pointed out.
However, none of the senior sales assistants approached them.
They had already judged Alex by his ordinary clothes and assumed he was just window-shopping. Even Sophia's striking presence didn't change their minds; Instead, they pushed the newest, least experienced girl forward, snickering behind their hands.
"U-um… hello, this is our new collection…" The young salesgirl was clearly nervous about handling customers alone. Her movements were flustered and her speech a little awkward, but it gave her an innocent, endearing charm.
"No rush. Take your time. I don't bite," Alex joked lightly, easing the tension.
The girl bit her lip, gathered her courage, and began introducing the bag. She glanced at Sophia and smiled warmly. "This style really suits your girlfriend's elegant temperament perfectly!"
Sophia blushed faintly and opened her mouth to explain, but Alex simply nodded. "It really does suit her."
Sophia's heartbeat quickened unexpectedly. The usually cold woman suddenly felt shy.
Just as Alex was about to buy the bag, a pretentious voice cut in from the side.
"Honey, this bag is gorgeous! Buy it for me~"
A scantily dressed woman named Lila was clinging to a young man, rubbing her body against his arm suggestively. The man clearly enjoyed the attention.
"Beauty, wrap this one up for me," the man said arrogantly, hands in his pockets and a confident smirk on his face.
"Uh… but this gentleman was here first…" the young salesgirl said hesitantly.
The man — Victor Lane, CEO of Vanguard Commerce — finally glanced at Alex, but his eyes quickly locked onto Sophia. The moment he saw her cold, breathtaking beauty, he was stunned.
Compared to Sophia, Lila looked a little less attractive; however, her mature features were something worth devouring.
Jealousy surged through Victor 'How does nobody like him have such a goddess?'Today he was in full mood to devour the mature body of lila, so he immediately decided to crush Alex to impress Sophia and Lila at the same time. With his wealth and looks, he felt very confident in achieving the hidden perk "Threesome".
"Hello, brother. I'm Victor Lane, CEO of Vanguard Commerce. How about giving me some face?" Victor flashed a charming smile, showing his newly cleaned teeth.
"Vanguard Commerce?"
The young salesgirl covered her mouth in surprise. That was a well-known company worth tens of millions, and its young boss was famously rich.
Victor's pride swelled at her reaction, so he waited eagerly to see how Alex and Sophia would respond.
To his disbelief, both of them remained completely expressionless.
"What qualifications do you have for me to give you face?" Alex replied coldly, not bothering to hide his indifference.
Victor's eyes turned icy. He smiled mockingly. "You're the first person brave enough to speak to me like that. Also — can you even afford this bag?"
"That's right. If you can't afford it, stop staring. It's embarrassing!" Lila sneered with a flat tone; thinking 'Though he's handsome, handsomeness alone does not feed stomach.'
"Tell me the price. I'll take it," Victor said loftily to the salesgirl.
His arrogant attitude made the young girl uncomfortable. It was nothing like the relaxed vibe she had with Alex; still, as she was hired to sell, she answered professionally, "This is a worldwide limited edition. With a small discount, it's one hundred and twenty thousand dollars."
The price made Victor freeze on the spot, 'One hundred and twenty thousand… for one bag? Even as a young CEO, I can't casually drop that kind of money.' Thinking about this he felt like he was stuck, unable to advance or even retreat. This situation made him feel extremely embarrassed.
But Lila didn't notice his expression, her eyes lit up as she tugged his arm. "Honey, buy it quickly! I love this bag so much!" She was the type of woman who loved expensive objects, as even if she were to be thrown away, she would at least have something worthy on her with the time she had spent on all those bastards.
"Mr. Lane…" the salesgirl tried to remind him gently.
"Is it too expensive? What's the big deal?" Victor forced out, his face turning ashen; at that moment, Alex let out a soft, amused chuckle, the laughter felt like pure contempt to Victor.
He snapped angrily, "Can you afford it?!"
Alex ignored the outburst and simply handed his black card to the young salesgirl.
Victor grew even more furious and disdainful. He refused to believe Alex could actually pay, but the crisp sound of the terminal shattered his arrogance.
[Beep — Payment successful!]
After the bag was paid for, Alex didn't stop. He pointed at several other styles. "I'll take this one, this one, and that one too. Pack them up."
"Yes, sir!"
The young salesgirl was thrilled and worked busily, sweating but beaming with joy, and soon, the payments went through smoothly also.
Total: over five hundred thousand dollars.
Victor, who had been waiting to watch Alex embarrass himself, stood completely dumbfounded, spending over five hundred thousand dollars so casually? Even he could never do it so lightly.
Compared to Alex, he felt utterly insignificant; the realization that he had tried to provoke someone like this made him feel ridiculous.
More frighteningly, what kind of background did Alex have to spend money this freely? if he accidentally offended someone like him, the consequences could be terrifying.
The more Victor thought about it, the more scared he became. When no one was paying attention, he quietly slipped away.
Even Lila didn't notice him leave.
As Alex turned to leave with the bags, Lila who realised she was all alone suddenly stepped closer, pretending to adjust her already revealing top. For a brief second, she deliberately let one side slip, giving Alex a clear, intentional nip slip — her perky nipple fully exposed for his eyes only.
At the same time, she pressed a small piece of paper into his hand discreetly.
"My number," she whispered quickly, her voice low and seductive. "Call me anytime."
Alex glanced at the paper, then at her hungry eyes, and slipped it into his pocket with a faint smirk. He might just take her up on that offer one night when he felt like some easy entertainment, since he was now in a world where taking care of one's needs was the priority, he wasn't going to shy away.
The entire store was stunned by Alex's display of wealth.
The senior sales assistants hiding in the corner looked utterly regretful. They had missed a massive commission just because they judged him by his clothes.
Seeing the young salesgirl's happy smile, their faces turned green with envy. They wanted to slap themselves.
"Thank you," Alex said, glancing meaningfully at the senior assistants in the corner. "If anyone gives you trouble, just call me. No one will bully you here."
That single look sent chills down their spines. They had been planning to steal the new girl's commission with dirty tricks, but Alex's words killed that idea instantly.
The young salesgirl understood and kept bowing gratefully 'This man is so domineering… This is what a real rich, handsome man looks like!'
