Chapter 237 Inspirational Idea


    Men’s fashion is on the third floor of the mall…


    Feelingzy and too in a rush to take the esctor up, I decided to take the elevator instead. The third


    floor was indeed filled with men’s wear, essories, and shoes. After walking around aimlessly for a


    while, I realized that I was going through a ssic first-world problem of having too many options to


    choose from. There were just so many things avable for purchase that it was hard for me to choose.


    That coupled with the fact that I didn’t really have anything in mind in the first ce, just made it even


    harder for me.


    “Do you need some help? Are you looking for something?” a saleswoman said when she approached


    me.


    Her pleasant smile told me that she was all ears and that she was here to offer her sincere help.

    However, I wasn’t sure if my reply would give her enough to work off of.


    “Well, my…umm…boyfriend’s birthday ising up and I’m trying to pick a present out for him…” I


    replied a little shyly.


    There was no doubt about it, referring to Ace as my boyfriend felt quite embarrassing. The


    saleswoman’s smile widened at my words before she nodded her head enthusiastically at me.


    “Do you have anything in mind? We have very trendy clothes here for men and also more formal suits.


    If that doesn’t work for you, then we also have an extensive range of essories from cufflinks to


    jewelry…” she suggested with a smile.


    That was exactly the problem.


    “I’m not sure. There are so many things to choose from and I’m not sure what I should get for him,” I


    replied honestly.


    “Well, I’m here to help you. Why don’t we look around together? Maybe we can start off with the


    clothing section over there,” she suggested brightly.


    “Thank you…” I thanked her


    I followed her to the men’s clothing section where many brands of clothing awaited us. Let’s say that


    I’ve narrowed down my scope to looking for some clothes for Ace. What kind of clothing should I get for


    him exactly?


    Work suits? Formal suits? Casual shirts and jeans?


    “What about one of these high-quality suit? I assume you’re boyfriend is working in an office, right?”


    she asked with a smile.


    I followed the gesture of her hand and my eyesnded on many expensive looking suits. Myck of


    knowledge of men suits made me unconfident about what Ace would like. I bet he got all his suits


    tailored at the most expensive ces. Buying him a suit off the rack probably won’t cut it.


    “No? What about something more casual? There’s a trend of couples matching their casual outfits


    when they go out on dates. What do you think?” she asked brightly.


    I let her lead me to the casual clothing section. For the life of me, I couldn’t imagine Ace agreeing to


    dress up in coordinating outfits with me. He might do it if I asked or begged for him to do so but I had


    better things to beg for than for him to wear matching outfits with me. Now that I thought about it, Ace


    didn’t seem to wear anything fancy for his casual looks. Comfortable white shirt and jeans seemed to


    be his go-to look and I had to say that the look looks amazing on him.


    “I don’t think he’ll go for the coordinating outfit thing…” I said before shing her an apologetic smile.


    “No worries. Then, let’s check out the essories section. Cufflinks and some simple jewelry cannot


    go wrong, trust me…” she said before leading the way.


    I ended up following her around again and soon ended up at the men essories section. Long rows


    of disy ss cabs filled with essories greeted me and left me even more confused than


    before. Picking out a suit from the racks of suits felt hard already but picking one of these small


    essories from the countless others just seemed impossible. As my eyes scanned through the small


    essories on disy in their ss case, I started to get a slight throbbing headache.


    “What do people usually buy for their boyfriends?” I asked in a small voice.


    “Matching jewelry such as pendants or rings. Others get usable items that their boyfriends would wear


    such as cufflinks…” she suggested with a smile.


    My eyes followed her fingers as she pointed to the row of disy cabs with cufflinks. There were so


    many designs to choose from. Once again, I didn’t know what Ace would like. Although I’ve spent a lot


    of time with him, it wasn’t like I spent any time staring at the cufflinks that he had on.


    “Matching jewelry…” I murmured as my hand unconscious went to the small pendant resting at the


    base of my neck.


    Would it be too straightforward andme if I got him a matching pendant or something simr that


    might match the pendant that he gave me?


    “Umm…would you happen to have something that would match this pendant that I have on?” I asked


    as I dared myself to hope.


    I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea, but it was the only idea that I got at that moment. Rather than


    spending more time browsing without any aim or inspiration, I thought that getting a matching pendant


    might be the right solution. The pendant was quite small so people wouldn’t realize it that we were


    wearing something matching or simr.


    It might just work…


    “Can I get a closer look at the pendant?” she inquired.


    “Oh, sure…let me take it off for you…” I replied.


    I carefully took off the ne along with the pendant. The staff quickly took out a ck velvet tray for


    me to put the ne on it.


    “This pendant is really beautiful and very detailed…” she said in awe.


    “Thanks…” I replied softly.


    “Did your boyfriend give you this?” she asked although she probably already had a good guess of the


    answer.


    “Yes, he did…” I replied honestly before smiling a little her way.
