Hoy was taken aback by her speech. He looked her up and down again. His secretaries were also surprised to hear her speak to their boss that way. It was a new sight for them. They looked at her plain trouser, top and shoe. They could swear her wears weren't designers. She had been about to leave the place because she could not afford to buy anything. But she called herself a customer?

"I guess it grew on me to speak to people that way" He explained. "So just follow me"

Sara still stood there without budging. "It didn't grow on me to listen to people who talk to me rudely."

Hoy was stressed out already. 'What kind of girl is this?' He wondered. But he knew he had to be patient with her.

"There are better gowns you could rent inside. If you're interested, I'll show them to you" He said in a very low voice. His secretaries and the manager were cut off guard. Why was he being polite all of a sudden? It was so unlike him.

Sara's eyes brightened "Really? It is possible to rent?"

Hoy's expression was unreadable. No one could tell whether he was happy or angry.

"What is wrong with you? Are you not happy the director is sparing his precious time to talk to you? Why are you still asking many questions?" The manager scolded.

Sara was not in the mood for him so she totally ignored him. And followed Hoy. She had to swallow her pride.

Sara looked at the gowns in awe, after they settled in the VIP room. She had never thought that gowns would fascinate her this much. "But they are very expensive. You are sure to let me rent one at a cheap price?" She asked skeptically. Since they were much more expensive that the one in the main store.

"You should spend your time trying them instead of talking. I'm not sure you have much time left" He answered her from the chair he was sitting.

Sara didn't wait to be reminded the second time as she began trying the gowns in the closet and coming out for Hoy to pass his judgement.

The fun gradually died as Hoy kept giving a negative remark on every outfit she tried.

"Remind me what kind of party is that again?" He asked.

"A grandpa's birthday party" She responded dejectedly.

Hoy tried his best not to laugh. "Then you know why those gowns weren't suitable for you"

"Then why did you make me try them?" She asked angrily. He had been the one who chose the gowns.

"Just because." He answered nonchalantly as his lips slightly curved upwards.

He stood up and pointed at a mannequin covered with a black gown. "Get that for her" He said to the manager. The manager almost cussed him. At least he should have let him bring a salesgirl with him. How was he supposed to be taking out that gown from the mannequin. And giving it to this girl? But he could do nothing as he went over to bring the gown.

Hoy also chose a pair of heels, clutch bag and jewelries to match her outfit.

He said as he crossed his arms around his chest and looked at her seriously.

"You can forget about paying for it. But in return...." She cut him off before he could continue. "What do you mean I can forget about paying for them? I have to pay for renting it" She said firmly.

Hoy had never met anyone so stubborn. He didn't even know what else to say. "I'm only doing this because you know my relatives"

"That has nothing to do with this. I'm sorry, but I do not like free things. So I'll have to pay."

Hoy had to agree with her "It's alright then. But you'll be paying directly to me. You'll have to bring it over to my office. You can forget about the dry cleaning we're going to be in charge of that."

"Your office? Why can't I just bring it back here?"

"You have to come to my office with it. It's the least you could do" He said expressionlessly.

"Are you..." Sara didn't know whether it was right to ask him but she had to. " Are you trying to hit on me?"

The others tried their best not to laugh. Who was she to think the director would hit on her? But they were also curious why he was interested in her all of a sudden. Except the manager who was busy glaring at her.

"No." Hoy laughed for the first time and took her hand as he placed a card on her palm. "You have to return it unfailing on Tuesday. He said before leaving the room with his secretaries tailing after him.

Sara left the unnecessary details when she narrated the event to Muchen and just told him she met Li Hoy who agreed to lend her an outfit for a cheaper price since he saw her with Heya on that video. She didn't think it was necessary giving him the full gist.

"Ohhhh" Muchen smiled. At least it was not Dexi but his own cousin. The Heavens was helping him. "That's good. You don't need to return it. You can just keep it. It suits you" He complimented.

"That won't be right. I promised to return it."

"I'll talk to him" Muchen said.

"Mr Li..." She didn't want to tell her he told her to personally return it to his office. Neither did she want him to meddle with her affairs.

"Alright, alright." He agreed to her as he raised his hands up in surrender.
