"That's right, although the class isn't up to standard yet, to prevent the beautiful miss from walking too much, we'll have to make do for now."
If you talk like that, it'll upset the purple cat lady, because this is one of her stores. She just prefers a style that's universally relaxing, making it too upscale would only end up keeping her fellow Cat-Ear Tribe members out.
"If it's just a business invitation, I can say a few words, but if there are other motives, then there's no need," Tilan thought it was better to clarify in advance.
At this point, still being coy? Could she be a high-ranking woman, Milowan wondered to himself.
"Of course, I'm also eager to expand my family's business. After all, as an heir, it won't be easy to achieve something that gains the recognition of those old folks without making some real accomplishments," he said in what seemed like a defense, each word revealing his extraordinary identity, like a golden opportunity to be seized upon.
"In that case," Tilan thought for a moment and nodded slightly, although she might be laughed at by Ailu Kelu afterward, the shop was half her turf, the staff were on her side, and any issue could be resolved easily.
"Beautiful miss, please follow me." He signaled the crowd behind him with a glance, and most of them stayed outside the store, with only him and a few others entering with her.
Seeing the purple-haired young master return to the shop with Tilan, some Cat-Ear Tribe staff members were quite curious and surprised. However, Tilan shook her head slightly behind them to keep them quiet, and so they didn't show any signs of surprise.
"This guy is an annoying rich young master. He probably hasn't recognized my identity yet, just treat me as an ordinary customer for now," the young girl's clear, resonant voice echoed in everyone's hearts, and at that moment many staff members realized that this girl alongside Ailu Kelu was also a Songstress.
No wonder their relationship seemed so close and intimate. The one who walked with Ailu Kelu was indeed a similar being.
A few intelligent members caught on to what was happening from their behavior, and quickly found it interesting. Then, after a moment's thought, some went upstairs to report to Ailu Kelu.
Upon hearing the footsteps heading upstairs not far away, Tilan knew she couldn't keep today's events secret, and Ailu Kelu was probably waiting to watch the excitement unfold. She had fully realized, over the past couple of days, how much Ailu Kelu loved spectacles and pranks.
Sigh... the young girl lamented in her heart, if only she had known, she would have taken a cab home.
With that thought, she opened her eyes and looked at the purple-haired young man sitting before her.
He was presently looking at the menu, choosing a drink, then shifted his gaze to Tilan, attempting to show some elegance by asking about the girl's preferences.
But maybe it was the proximity, or the fitting indoor lighting that made the shadow of the hood less prominent, and at that moment he could clearly see the features of the young girl.
She was truly beautiful, that fair face, the soft contours, and those stirring blue eyes, like rippling waves of light, seemed to hold a thousand words yet remained tranquil and gentle, ensnaring one's heart in a dream they couldn't wake from.
If such a girl were the spokesperson and model for his brand, she could undoubtedly set off a trend that would sweep across the federation.
For the first time, his thirst for career success momentarily overshadowed his desire for a beautiful woman. But soon after, he realized the two weren't necessarily in conflict. If he could win over this girl, wouldn't he have both?
The world seemed so wonderful, and a deep sense of fortune enveloped him. He felt that venturing out today to scout for a new store location was undoubtedly a choice and arrangement by fate.
