Chapter 235 - Shopping 1

The largest shopping mall in the city was owned by the Geneva Corporation. The Grand Pinnacle was a towering 20 floor building that contained over 2300 shops. The higher one went, the more expensive the products were. It was fairly impossible for there to not have a shop that a consumer wanted. As such, Sato requested for Madel to drive him and Leah to the Grand Pinnacle for a much-needed shopping trip. Sato wasn't one that enjoyed shopping. It could be said that ever since he stepped into the Tobion family, he never really needed to purchase his own clothes. His husband enjoyed dressing him up and so, most of the time, Sato focused on his own project.

For him to come out and buy something for himself, it could be considered a crazy feat. Since it was to buy for the cute little girl by his side, Sato planned to splurge on her. After just one day of being together, the young man could have said to have formed a special connection with Leah. He saw a lot of him inside of the seven-year-old and that in itself was not good. His life was tough and arduous, where his only true light source was his lover, Gray. For Leah, Sato planned to be her light source. At least, until she grew up and found herself her own light source.

When they entered the Grand Pinnacle, Sato pushed Leah in her wheelchair and headed towards the elevator. Within the 20 floors, there were some floors that were categorically sorted for different age groups and genders. In this case, Sato chose to head for the 18th floor, which was for the higher end branded clothes for children. For the little girl, Leah followed quietly alongside Sato. She did not react to any of the clothing that were displayed at the storefront, which made Sato realized that the girl was essentially the little him. She wasn't interested in clothes!

Seeing that his first plan of buying whatever Leah wanted had failed, Sato decided he should ask Madel what she would purchase for the little girl. That plan, however, backfired on itself, since Madel also didn't understand fashion. The personal butler worked as a military soldier for the most of her life and so, she herself could not be counted as a normal female.

Sighing to himself, Sato squatted down as he spoke to Leah, "Hey Leah, why not you put to any of these shops around here? We will go in together and take a look."

Leah turned her head around in a circle and decided on the Rylee + Cru shop that sold artistic clothing wear for children. Sato loved the choice by Leah as the clothing were very simple and the colors were bombastic. It felt like she had chosen this store just to fit with Sato's aesthetic.

"Come on, let's go in." Sato pushed her into the store and Madel chose to stand outside the store.

When the store attendants saw the old and young pair walk into the store, the female attendant immediately walked up with a smile to welcome them. "Welcome customer, how may I help you?"

"Can I trust in your taste of clothes?" Sato sprung a question on the attendant.

"Ah, yes. If I may ask, are you purchasing for the young lady beside you?" The female attendant answered confidently.

"Yes. Could you pick five to ten sets that you think would fit her for me please?"

"Any restrictions? Would you like them to be a top, bottom, dress or pajamas?"

"No restrictions, so long as they look good on her." Sato shook his head.

"I will go ahead and look for the set of clothes now. You may take a seat in the meantime." The attendant bowed her head and headed off to look for clothing that fit the little girl.

When the clothes arrived, there were a total of 10 sets of clothing. Four were a top and bottom set, three were dresses and three were pajamas. Seeing it for himself, Sato could tell that the attendant knew what she was doing. There wasn't a need for measurements as the clothes seemed to fit Leah's body size very well. In addition, the designs weren't very high-sounding.

"Do you want to try them on?" Sato asked Leah who was looking at the clothes in front of her with not much enthusiasm.

Leah shook her head. It was a no and so, Sato did not force her to try it on. Turning to look at the attendant, he gave her the go ahead. "I would like to buy everything you had suggested."

"Ah? O..Okay." The attendant stuttered slightly in shock. She did not realise that the customer would be buying everything without even trying on the clothes. What if it did not actually look good on the little girl? It seemed that the man was just buying clothes for her on a whim. Totaling up the price, the attendant spoke to Sato, "That would be $700. How would you like to pay?"

"Credit card." Sato took out his black label credit card that left the attendant utterly speechless. The Black Label Capital Card was said to be the most elite and high-end credit card that was available in the world. The credit card was created by the World Capital Company. Originating from Country U, the WCC was the first private financial service company in the country. With its rich history and skilled personnel, the company immediately rose in the ranks and became the most influential financial service company in the world. The Black Label Capital Card does not have a monetary limit on its customers and the only way you can acquire the Black Label card was through invitation by the World Capital Company.

As the female attendant helped Sato out with the credit card purchase, her hand shook and trembled when seeing this legendary card. This was the first time she had ever seen a person that owned the Black Label Capital Card. Expectingly, the purchase went through without any difficulties. Sato held onto the two bag of clothing and walked towards Leah. He asked of her to change into one of the sets of top and bottoms as she was still wearing the pajamas from yesterday. Leah obediently followed through and wore a cute sweater top and grey long pants. Sato's smile beamed happily, seeing how adorable Leah looked.

"Let's continue shopping."
