Just as Luo Bin thought the sales assistant was trying to drive them away, she changed tack. "You might want to look at our haute couture collection. Every piece is an award-winning design by a top master, handmade by a team of artisans. The style, fabric, texture, and craftsmanship are all first-rate. I'm sure you'll be pleased. Of course, the price is a little..."
"Luo Bin, this afternoon's date is especially important to me. What do you think?"
Sophia spoke from inside a pale-blue, full-skirted dress.
"Let's take a look!"
It wouldn't hurt to try!
"Certainly. Please wait a moment!"
A few minutes later, the sales assistant returned with a catalog for Luo Bin and Sophia to browse. They had barely turned three or four pages when Sophia's eyes locked onto a pink lace princess dress studded with rhinestones.
"It's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful! I've only ever seen a dress like this in my dreams. Luo Bin..."
"Excuse me, could you bring out the sample of this Dreamy Cloud? Sorry for the trouble."
"Of course, sir!"
Seeing Sophia practically press her face against the catalog, Luo Bin shook his head helplessly. Dreamy pink, glittering rhinestones, dangling crystal chains... No wonder girls couldn't resist it.
Before long, the sales assistant wheeled over a simple clothes rack. Dreamy Cloud hung from it inside a dust cover.
The moment she opened the cover, the diamonds set into Dreamy Cloud's skirt made even the ceiling lights seem dim.
"Wow! It's even prettier than in the catalog. I don't care how much Dreamy Cloud costs. Even if it takes every last coin I've saved, I'm buying it!"
Sophia circled the rolling rack as she poured out her feelings.
"Miss, this Dreamy Cloud is one of our signature pieces, so it isn't eligible for discounts or promotions.
