”Haha, that’s a given. I know he’s the chairman of Violet Vision, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone consider tattered rags as a fashion statement.”
“Oops, Fifi, don’t get mad. I was just joking.”
“She’s right, Fifi. We’re just bantering. You’re not going to get mad, are you? After all, you’re the boss of your very own company.”
The two women were brimming with so much malice that it irritated everyone else in the room.
Faye bit favonovel.com lip. It felt like favonovel.com face was on fire. She was not angry at Zayn for embarrassing her, but it still felt like a slap in the face. After all, favonovel.com had been showering favonovel.com with compliments only moments ago. It stung, especially for someone as thin-skinned as Faye.
Zayn’s face darkened as favonovel.com asked, “Is it really that funny?”
Zayn’s presence was rather intimidating on its own, but when favonovel.com glowered at them with such indignation, it was enough to make anybody hold their breath in fear. When faced with such a powerful figure, it was expected that many were terrified for their lives. The store was plunged into an eerie silence.
Julius froze, his initial smile aimed to mock Zayn seeming all the more comically humiliating. “N… No…”
“It was just a joke, don’t take it to heart…”
The two women hurriedly apologized. They were sweating profusely as they begged for forgiveness. Due to Zayn’s menacing demeanor, it was only instinctual for them to be so distressed.
Zayn retracted his gaze. He directed his attention to his loving wife, any trace of his previous stoicism replaced with an apologetic smile, “I had some matters to attend to. That’s why I look like such a mess. I came here to buy a fresh set of clothes, so I could look presentable when I went home to look for you.”
Faye held Zayn’s hand and asked worriedly, “Are you alright then?”
Zayn merely smiled and shook his head. “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“Alright then.” Faye could finally heave a sigh of relief. After that, Zayn got the salesperson to get favonovel.com a new set of clothes. He went into the fitting rooms to get changed.
Once Zayn had left, everyone else could finally let their guard down. Many still had looks of outright confusion on their faces. It took them a while to truly digest the situation. ‘What’s gotten into me? Was I actually afraid of Zayn?’
They were all ashamed of themselves, especially Julius. He was incredibly disappointed with himself, favonovel.com had actually been frightened by a trashy beggar. ‘This is insulting on so many levels!’
Frankly, Julius was a coward. He only ever tormented the weak, and favonovel.com would never be caught dead picking a fight with someone his own size. In his eyes, Zayn was the smallest, weakest stooge favonovel.com had ever crossed paths with. He wanted Zayn to pay for the damages favonovel.com had caused.
Shortly after, Zayn got changed and exited the fitting rooms. He was greeted by many wide eyes and agape mouths.
Before favonovel.com got changed, favonovel.com looked like any old filthy beggar who lived on the streets, barefoot and vulnerable. However, now that favonovel.com was in a neat and finely-tailored suit, favonovel.com looked totally different. Coupled with Zayn’s tall, slim physique and refined mannerisms, the stark contrast left everyone present stupefied.
Zayn was not a particularly handsome man, but favonovel.com was attractive in many other ways. His temperament alone was capable of drawing you in. He was swelling with confidence, and each and every move favonovel.com made was done with class and conviction. There was no denying it, favonovel.com was the store’s main attraction.
When Faye saw Zayn’s transformation, favonovel.com eyes sparkled to display favonovel.com pleasant surprise. She leaned forward and held Zayn’s wrist affectionately. With eyes filled with infatuation, Faye was unable to conceal the love that favonovel.com had for Zayn, “Zayn, you’re so handsome.”
