    Liam was alert as he repeated her words, “You got men’s clothes there?”


    Celeste replied, “I shot an ad for a local clothing brand before, they have a pretty nice men’s line. I got


    you a couple of sets, soft fabric and not too pricey. If you don’t like it, no biggle.”


    Liam paused, “You’ve never bought me expensive clothes before, why sugar–coat it?”


    Celeste gritted her teeth, “Who says I never got you fancy stuff? Your socks, they cost a fortune, while


    mine are dime a dozen!”


    Liam responded, “Other than socks.”


    “What about underwear? Those cost a pretty penny too, some even broke the bank!”


    Liam was helpless


    “Other than underwear.”


    Celeste opened her mouth, finally defending herself, “I don’t buy cheap not because I’m stingy, it’s all


    about if they are worth it. You know, big brands charge an arm and a leg for stuff that costs peanuts to


    make. Why be the sucker who pays top dor for everyday wear?” The more she spoke, the more she


    convinced herself, ending up somewhat indignant, “I always shop around. Do


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    think that’s not tiring? I’m just trying to save you money, and you’re giving me grief?”

    Liam was helpless again, “Shop around to pick a swim trunk that bleeds dye?”


    Owen couldn’t help but burst intoughter.


    Everyone knew that Liam couldn’t swim, but sometimes business negotiations took ce in


    recreational venues, with a bit of ball game or swimming on the side.


    Liam had to be there the whole time, but he usually stayed dry.


    However, once he met a client who was a good swimmer. The client knew Liam couldn’t swim and


    insisted on teaching him, iming that the contract was a done deal if he learned to swim.


    At that time, Liam’s position in thepany was not stable. He needed such a big order to boost his


    influence. So, despite his fear of water, he agreed to learn to swim from the client and asked his wife to


    bring him a pair of swimming trunks.


    His wife, Celeste, knowing that he was going to learn to swim, enthusiastically picked out swimwear for


    him.


    But her taste was truly questionable. All she got him were swimweats with a Superman design, a


    farting pattern on the rear, or a giant elephant trunk or banana on the front


    All in all, designs that were not fit for public exposure.


    The key point was, Liam and the client had set a time, waiting for her to bring the swim trunks. She was


    even confident over the phone, saying Liam would definitely like it.


    As expected, Liam’s face fell at the sight of the garish swim trunks.


    But the client was waiting for him, and he had no time to buy new ones. He picked a ck and red


    striped design, which looked somewhat normal at least on drynd.


    When the negotiations were almost done, the client called him into the water to teach him how to


    breathe.


    Liam braced himself and got in the water.


    Everything was fine at first, but as the lesson proceeded, the client’s face turned somewhat odd.


    Finally, the client couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, should you see a proctologist first? Your hemorrhoids look


    severe. The water has turned red.”


    Liam looked down in confusion, seeing the red stream around him, the scene looked like a hemorrhoid


    re–up, quite shocking.


    Liam’s face turned ck.
