*****

Xavier didn’t reply to the sales assistant immediately.

Instead, he turned gradually, his eyes softening as they settled on Little Lola. At this very instant, the young girl’s expression was alight with wonder.

Her sparkling eyes, wide with amazement, were fixed intently in a specific direction. The longing shimmering within them was unmistakable.

It was a gaze so pure, so filled with innocent yearning, that anyone watching could instantly recognize it—she had discovered something that had utterly captivated her heart.

Without a second thought, Xavier followed the trail of her gaze.

His eyes landed squarely upon a delicately displayed princess-style gown hanging under a spotlight.

The dress was exquisite, crafted with a meticulous blend of pastel colors, and adorned with intricate embroidery that resembled blooming spring flowers. The lace hem rippled like waves frozen in time, and floral patterns danced along the fabric, giving the gown an ethereal, fairytale-like charm.

    *****“Father, why don’t you have a look around? Pick something you like—anything at all.”David furrowed his brows immediately and gave his son a long, sideways glance. “Do I strike you as the kind of man who goes window shopping?” he grumbled. “Besides, I’m not exactly young anymore. I’ve got enough clothes to last me until the end of my days. You focus on yourself, your mother, and the little one. I don’t need anything new.”His tone was firm… blunt even, leaving no room for argument.Xavier studied his father silently for a few seconds upon hearing him. He had expected that reaction, yet it still left him a little speechless.Ultimately, he sighed with mild exasperation. “Dad…”He paused, a gentle frown creasing his brow.“Back when I was little until I went away, even when you were working day and night just to make ends meet, you never once splurged on yourself. Every dime you earned, you poured into the family. I still remember you always arguing with Mother about how ‘a

    ***** David's gaze dropped to his hands—wrinkled, toughened by labor, marked by time. His eyes shimmered with unshed tears, glistening beneath the store’s ambient lighting. Finally, in a soft, hoarse voice, he spoke: “…Alright, son.” He cleared his throat, then stood a little straighter. “I’ll pick something for myself. Something decent.” Xavier didn’t say a word, but the small upward curve of his lips spoke volumes. It was a smile of pride, quiet victory, and deep affection. David turned to Amelia. “Could you show me where the men’s section is? Something for… older men?” Xavier immediately let out a long-suffering groan and rolled his eyes. “Father, come on. You’re not that old, you know? Just find something that would suit the younger you. You might even surprise yourself.” David snorted and gave his son a playful glare, but didn’t argue. Deep down, he felt just a little lighter, a little freer. Amelia, smiling now with renewed warmth, nodded eagerly

    *****Initially, everyone inside the luxurious Dior boutique was vibrating with anticipation, their eyes subtly trained on the glass doors of High Fashion across the street.They were waiting for the moment—that delicious instant when Xavier and his so-called “family of four” would come rushing out, eyes wide, mouths agape, clinging to each other in sticker-shock horror after seeing the prices of the items inside.Some had even prepped their phones, cameras open, ready to capture that fleeting expression of embarrassment and panic. A few were already composing sarcastic captions in their heads, eager to post the spectacle online and revel in the comment section of collective mockery.They had been convinced it was only a matter of seconds—maybe a minute at most. After all, what kind of people walked into High Fashion Boutique, where a single shoelace might cost a mortgage payment?But five minutes passed.Then six.Then seven.Still, no one emerged.“…Could it be that they fa

    *****Back in High Fashion…A stunned silence reigned after Xavier’s casual declaration.“We’re taking everything.”The words still hung in the air, echoing in Amelia’s mind like a thunderclap.She gaped at Xavier. ‘Did he just say… everything?’ She blinked hard as if that would clear up the hallucination she was surely having.‘He couldn’t be serious. Could he?’Her eyes drifted toward the rack Xavier had pointed at—a rack holding nearly twenty high-end designer dresses. Each one is handcrafted, each one radiating exclusivity and elegance. While they didn’t have price tags—High Fashion rarely displayed them—she knew the average cost per dress was over $50,000.'That’s easily a million dollars,' she thought, almost swaying on her feet.If Xavier had strolled in wearing a Rolex wristwatch, with a polished entourage or air of power, maybe she wouldn’t have hesitated to believe him. But this man… this handsome-looking, modestly dressed customer… he didn’t fit the image. At all.

    *****David exhaled a long sigh before speaking. “Xavier… are you sure you can afford all this?”Before Xavier could respond, a small, sweet voice interrupted.“Uncle… you don’t need to buy the dresses for Little Lola,” the little girl said softly, her voice like a breeze through spring leaves. “Actually, Little Lola wouldn’t even be sad if we returned the one she’s wearing.”Her eyes sparkled, her smile serene and completely honest. “Just getting to wear this pretty dress and feel like a princess for even a few minutes… It’s more than enough to make Little Lola’s heart happy forever.”David’s throat tightened, and Sarah bit her lip to hold back the emotions surging in her chest.But Xavier…He knelt beside the little girl, his smile gentle as he patted her head with affection.“You don’t trust Uncle too?” he teased.Without missing a beat, Little Lola shook her head fervently.“Little Lola trusts Uncle very, very much!” she declared, the seriousness in her voice catching ev

    *****For a moment that stretched like an eternity, no one moved. No one breathed. Not even the sound of shuffling fabric or a clearing throat dared disturb the suffocating silence that followed Xavier’s declaration.Everyone stared at him, their eyes wide open and their mouths agape as if trying to decide whether they’d heard him correctly or if their minds had simply imagined it.'Buy all the dresses in their sizes?'The words replayed in every corner of the room, bouncing from one disbelieving thought to another. Especially within the minds of those from Dior’s boutique, who had just entered the high-fashion store.They had followed out of mockery and curiosity, whispering among themselves as they loitered at the entrance, wondering why Xavier and his family hadn’t been kicked out yet.They had expected to find him making a fool of himself, maybe staring in a daze at a price tag or arguing with a staff member about the mistake with their prices.‘But this?’What they heard

    *****Amelia had been caught in a daze since a moment ago, still trying to understand how her once-empty store was suddenly bursting with people. The energy, the chaos—it had thrown her off balance.But now, the focus had shifted.The manager from Dior was glaring at her with eyes that could cut glass.Her gaze wasn’t just angry—it was personal. As if she had been waiting for a moment like this to lash out.Amelia instinctively looked around.All of Dior Boutique’s employees… all the other staff…They were glaring at her too with pure contempt, envy, and open hostility.The air itself felt poisonous.She was confused. But just at that moment—“Well, you can’t blame her, boss,” one of the Dior sales assistants said with a smirk. “She’s basically been a mannequin here. I mean, how many months has she gone without a single sale? Perhaps desperation must’ve clouded her judgment.”Laughter followed again.The crowd didn’t even notice the subtle tremble in Amelia’s fingers as sh

    *****“Apologies,” she said, her voice level, respectful, yet firm. “But I believe this is the High Fashion boutique—not Dior, and certainly not under anyone else’s jurisdiction. If you are not here to explore or make a purchase, I kindly ask that you leave.”Her words were like a pin dropped in a lion’s den, and silence fell. The kind of silence that pulses just before an eruption.Just at that moment—“You… you dare speak to me like that?!” someone growled. A woman in a glittering red dress, decked in gold and loud perfumes, stepped forward with fury in her eyes. “Do you even know who I am?!”That was all it took.The crowd exploded, and in the next second—“How dare she talk to us like that!”“Who does she think she is?!”“She’s just a lowly shop worker!”“Let’s see how smug she looks when she’s out on the streets!”They hurled curses, threats, and venom at Amelia. Some called her an idiot, others called her names. But through it all, Amelia stood tall, her smile never w

    *****Everyone stared, slack-jawed from Xavier to Miss Aria, her words echoing endlessly in their minds.Yet, seemingly unfazed, Aria only gazed calmly at Xavier, waiting for his reaction.But...She would be waiting forever, because, as it turned out, Xavier wasn't going to react at all.Of course, Xavier wasn’t a fool.How could he not understand what the higher-ups of High Fashion were trying to do?They were obviously desperately trying to tie down a big fish, unwilling to let the customer who had just spent fifty million dollars walk away scot-free.What stupid "sole control rights"? What "50% off every future purchase"?All of it — every so-called benefit — was just bait to ensure Xavier would make High Fashion his exclusive brand for spending, splurging, and showing off his wealth.However, it seemed Xavier was the only one who immediately grasped this, or... no, everyone else understood it too.They were just simply too blinded by the sheer flex.After all, what ki

    *****"The volume of items you purchased is so enormous that… that it will take more than a full day just to pack them. Moreover, we’ll need a long truck to transport everything."Dead silence fell over the room once again, and every heart skipped a beat.'The volume of the purchased items wouldn't even fit in regular transport.'‘If that wasn't the ultimate flex, then what was?’Around him, the women, who moments ago had sneered and laughed, were now gazing at Xavier with hearts in their eyes, their stares practically devouring him.‘So handsome! So powerful!’Daisy, the young lady who had been mocked in the Dior store earlier for not knowing about High Fashion, could barely restrain herself.Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs as she fantasized about throwing herself into Xavier’s arms.Their boyfriends, their male companions, noticed this shift, and their faces turned an ugly shade of green.But none of them dared to voice their anger.Not a single one, because th

    *****Meanwhile, Miss Lin, the elegant Dior’s supervisor.Right now, her face was pale, her usually sharp eyes dulled with regret.She had instantly believed Roxie's story and had suggested Amelia’s firing without a second thought—all because she, too, had assumed Xavier was a pauper unworthy of patience.‘Would things have been different if I hadn't judged him so quickly?’ The thought gnawed at her, biting into her pride, her stomach churning.Yet no tears came. Only a deep, hollow sense of dread.Meanwhile, standing just a few steps away, Aria Wynn—the unflappable supervisor of High Fashion—was no better.For the first time in her professional life, her mind was in chaos.Aria, who had built her reputation on her calm, her poise, and her unshakable demeanor, was now battling the overwhelming urge to simply collapse into a chair.She tried everything to steady herself—deep breaths, mental chants, tightening her fists—but nothing worked.Finally, she gave up.Instead, she s

    *****Never in her life had Roxie imagined she would one day kneel down in public, kowtowing, groveling, and begging at someone’s feet—much less offering herself as a servant.Yet here she was.And the worst part?She hadn’t even realized it.If anything, right now, Roxie was trapped in a storm of devastation, pain, and unbearable regret, unable to comprehend how things had spiraled so horrifically out of control.Just some minutes ago, Xavier and his parents had walked into her store of their own volition… calm, polite, and willing to spend their money there.But she and everyone there, blinded by prejudice and contempt for anyone who looked poor, had chased the family of four away as though they were nothing but filth tarnishing the presence of the wealthy ones.And now?Not only had she lost the opportunity to earn a million and a half dollars in commission alone, but she had also thrown away the chance for a promotion she had always longed for—dreamed of.No, worse.She

    *****The receipt machine had long since fallen silent, and now the entire room followed suit.‘That’s true,’ everyone thought in unison.If Dior hadn’t turned Xavier and his family away if they had simply treated them with basic respect, that fifty million dollars would have been their sale.The realization hit like a truck and in the next instant, pity welled up among the spectators—not for Xavier, not for Amelia, but for Dior’s boutique because it was their loss.How could they be so blind?But the person almost feeling the most pain?Undoubtedly, it was Miss Lin, the supervisor of Dior’s boutique.Up until now, she had been frozen, stuck somewhere between shame and horror.But now, now that the full implications had sunk in—her face turned ghostly pale.Her mouth opened and closed wordlessly as she stared at Roxie—the very person responsible for this catastrophe."You… you…" she stammered, raising a trembling hand to point at the woman. "What have you… what have you don

    *****Having been forced to fend for herself since she was old enough to walk, Little Lola knew all too well the value of money.Fifty million dollars, however, was a number too vast for her young mind to grasp.Yet none of that mattered.She didn’t need to understand the math to revel in the moment.She had witnessed how these so-called "adults" had sneered at her uncle, spat venom at her adopted grandparents, and treated them like dirt beneath their feet.Now?Now she was grinning from ear to ear, her little chest puffed up with pride, her cheeks practically glowing as she soaked in the stunned faces around her.Justice tasted sweet, even if she couldn’t calculate the exact price tag.And finally—Miss Aria Wynn, High Fashion’s supervisor.To be fair, although Miss Aria Wynn had remained composed throughout the drama, her elegant posture unwavering, that didn’t mean she was immune to doubt.Even she—sharp, astute, and battle-hardened in the world of luxury fashion had ne

    *****‘Payment successful?’The simple, mechanical phrase echoed like a thunderclap in everyone’s mind, reverberating again and again.Absolute disbelief filled the store.No one! Not a single soul in the room—not even Xavier’s parents had thought the payment would ever succeed.That amount of money… it wasn’t something ordinary people even dreamed of seeing in a bank account. And even if, by some miracle, they had it, who in their right mind would drop it all on clothing?It was the kind of wealth that could elevate a struggling family into the ranks of the upper class overnight.Yet, here it was—casually spent on nothing tangible, but… clothing.The silence that gripped the boutique was deafening.No one blinked.No one breathed.No one even dared to think.The only sound was that of the receipt printer, whirring tirelessly as it spat out a long, seemingly endless ribbon of proof.Proof that none of them could deny.The receipt unspooled like a slow-motion declaration

    *****“Mister,” Miss Aria Wynn’s gentle yet commanding voice interrupted. “Are you still interested in completing the transaction?”The question, so casually spoken, instantly landed like a thunderclap in every ear.Everyone, no matter who fell silent again, and then they turned to the poised supervisor, wondering what her intentions were.Ultimately, someone whispered, “She’s… probably just trying to confirm the manager’s theory.”“Huh”The murmur spread, reaching every ear, and enlightenment sparked.The employees of Dior, especially those who had long coveted Amelia’s enviable position, brightened with anticipation.Roxie in particular lit up like a Christmas tree.She had long been watching Amelia from the sidelines, green with envy.While her own role was capped at the level of boutique manager, Amelia, who barely even worked, lived in luxury.Her paycheck? It was five times her own, and yet she never even lifted a finger, never pitched in, and never hustled.It was a

    *****All attention veered to Roxie, whose words had taken on an almost theatrical flair.Miss Aria raised a brow, unimpressed but curious. “Please, elaborate.”Roxie’s face lit up like she had just been invited to audition for a lead role.Then, with pride swelling in her chest, she jabbed a finger toward Amelia.“If my thought is correct… which most definitely is, she must’ve noticed how our boutique kicked out this bunch of beggars. So, she’s trying to fabricate an extravagant sale to protect her job.”“Hmmm…” all brows rose, and Roxie continued.“She hasn’t made a single sale since she joined your company. Think about it. If she stages this fake purchase, even if the transaction fails, it’ll look like she’s indispensable, since the price of this purchase is something none had ever achieved before.”Roxie smirked, her voice brimming with smugness.“When the higher-ups at High Fashion see a failed transaction notification for fifty million dollars, they’ll most likely assum
