Chapter 183 Charles's First Experience Buying Women's Lingerie
Luna was super frustrated; one of her bra straps had snapped.
Walking around was going to be a pain, and she had work in the afternoon. She had no idea how she'd manage.
Charles looked even more dramatic than Luna.
"Is that thing so easy to break?" Mr. Lee asked, genuinely puzzled, his handsome face not matching his cluelessness.
He thought he hadn't used much force.
Luna thought, 'Not much force? Then what's with the hole in my sweater?'
"How about this? You wait in the car. There's a mall across the street. I'll go buy it. What's your size?" Charles realized halfway through that he had spoken too easily.
Buying such items, he was both inexperienced and awkward.
After speaking, Charles glanced at Luna's chest.
Luna instinctively covered her chest and coughed lightly. "Um... thanks. I'll write it down for you."
Luna really couldn't go buy it herself. She didn't wear her work clothes out to eat, afraid of getting them dirty.
She was wearing a thick sweater. Now the sweater was torn, the bra strap was broken, and it was definitely not appropriate for her to just walk in like that.
Luna sent a message to Charles via Facebook: [C cup.]
"Just show this to the sales clerk. Buy one for around ten dollars, any color is fine. I'll transfer the money to you."
Charles waved his hand. "No need, you wait here for me."
With that, he got out of the car. He bit the bullet and stepped into the women's lingerie section of the mall.
If this was something his own wife needed, he couldn't let anyone else do it.
There were female servants at the villa, but it was too late for that now.
'It's just buying a bra, it won't kill me,' Charles thought.
Charles entered the most spacious and bright store that wasn't too flashy. The female clerk was dozing off at noon. When she suddenly saw a handsome guy walk in, she immediately perked up.
"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"
"This size, one in every color."
Charles showed the phone screen to the clerk. He wasn't going to pick, so he decided to buy them all. Luna was bound to like one of them.
The clerk was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.
"Sir, we have over fifty styles here. Do you want them all?" The female clerk found it unbelievable.
"Yes. All of them. As quickly as possible."
Charles took a deep breath, feeling surrounded by countless women's lingerie, as if he were the one not wearing any clothes.
In hindsight, he should have asked Mike to find a lady at the mall entrance to help buy them.
But then Mike would know Luna's size, and Charles couldn't accept that.
Charles looked towards the entrance, not knowing where else to look. There were bras everywhere—brightly colored and patterned, large and small, conservative and provocative, made from a variety of materials.
For him, this was an unprecedented mental torment over the past twenty years, not physical, but mental.
"Sir, that's fifty-two pieces in total. We're having a promotion, so after a 30% discount, it's a total of one thousand dollars."
"Okay, swipe the card."
Hearing the female clerk's voice, Charles exhaled deeply. Seeing the extra-large paper bag handed over by the clerk, with a seductive woman in lingerie smiling at him, Charles blushed inexplicably.
'How is this woman better looking than Luna? Her makeup is so heavy and she looks like a ghost,' Charles thought.
"Sir, it's all set. Just a heads-up: Lingerie is non-returnable and non-exchangeable, but if the packaging is unopened, you can exchange the size."
"I won't return or exchange." Charles left a sentence and walked away quickly.
He couldn't wait to get back to Luna.
"Here you go."
Charles reached the car, opened the door, got in, and exhaled deeply, stiffly shoving the bag into Luna's arms.
Luna was dumbfounded when she saw a bag full of colorful lingerie.
