At this moment, Koichi Tanaka waspletely captivated by the stylish and somewhat flirtatious woman beside him.


    He didn’t notice Charlie in the store. Since both he and hispanion spoke Chinese, Charlie guessed that Tanaka’s female friend must be Chinese as well. After entering the shop, the woman took Tanaka’s arm and began to browse the merchandise.


    Almost immediately, she pointed to the limited edition Hermès handbag that Charlie had already purchased for his wife,


    and yfully eximed, “Koichi, I want this bag!” Tanaka, feeling a bit embarrassed, replied, “My dear, we came to Eastcliff to consult a renowned doctor for the eldestdy, not to shop. We haven’t found the doctor yet, and I’m uncertain how to exin this when we return. If you really want to buy something, let’s wait until we’re back in Japan, and I’ll take you to Tokyo.”


    The woman pouted and insisted, “I don’t want to wait until Tokyo; I want this bag! You have to believe in fate when ites to buying a bag. If you find one that you love, you must seize the moment, or it might slip away forever!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With a hint of frustration, Tanaka replied, “I’m under a lot of pressure here. Bringing you along was already against the rules, and if you make a big scene shopping, it will be tough for me to exin things to the president!” The woman retorted, “I used to live in Eastcliff before moving to Japan. If your president asks, just tell him I wanted to revisit my hometown and bought the bag for myself.”<fn86f7> Follow current nov?ls on FindN0vel</fn86f7>


    Then, she took Tanaka’s arm and begged, “Koichi, I really love this bag. Please buy it for me, okay? I’m begging you.”


    After a moment of hesitation, Tanaka conceded, “Alright, but you must promise me not to boast about this bag or tell anyone that I bought it here in Eastcliff, understood?”


    The woman beamed with happiness, replying, “I promise!”


    She then waved at the sales associate beside Charlie, saying, “Excuse me, I want this bag. Please help me get it!”


    The sales associate responded apologetically, “I’m sorry, miss, but this bag has already been purchased. The gentleman has decided, and he is currently picking up his items.” As she spoke, she made a respectful gesture towards Charlie.


    Charlie didn’t even nce back at them; he focused on the counter in front of him, saying to the sales associate, “Please bring me two scarves for 30,000 each and a men’s belt for 20,000.” The sales associate nodded respectfully and quickly gathered his items.


    This frustrated the woman, who eximed, “Hey! He hasn’t even finished picking yet! Since he hasn’t checked out, we can just swipe the card right now!” She turned to Tanaka and urged, “Koichi, take out your card!”


    Tanaka awkwardly replied, “Since he’s already reserved it, let’s just look for something else.”


    “No!” the woman protested, “I want that one! I just saw it!”


    She then pointed at Charlie and suggested, “Koichi, why don’t you offer him some cash to let us have that bag?”


    Tanaka, unable to resist her charms any longer, turned to Charlie and said, “Sir, my girlfriend has her heart set on this bag. If you could let us have it, I’d be willing to give you 100,000 as a courtesy. Would you consider it?”


    Charlie waved his hand dismissively without looking back.


    The woman, now incensed, shouted, “Hey! You don’t have to do anything—just take 100,000 for nothing! Where do you find deals like that? You haven’t even said yes, and you’re already asking for a king’s ransom!”


    Charlie ignored her outburst and continued speaking to the sales associate, “Please bring me that women’s wallet for 58.”


    “Hey!” The woman was taken aback by Charlie’s disregard and shouted, “My boyfriend is a senior assistant to the Ito family in Japan! He’s a trusted confidant of Ito Yuhiko, the head of the Ito family. If you offend him, you’ll regret it!”
