Chapter 63 - "Sharing Numbers"

Fabio and the salesgirl named Christine were sharing a romantic moment, they both were so much into each other that they couldn't see what was going on around them. Paulo came back from the changing room wearing the suit and was constantly calling Fabio but Fabio was not paying any attention to him because he was too busy flirting with Christine, Paulo then raised his tone and called Fabio, and this time caught everyone's attention in the showroom who were there at that moment including Fabio and Christine.

Fabio looked at Paulo in shock and said.

"Paulo you are back?"

Paulo replied.

"I back minutes ago, I was calling you but you are not listening to me at all."

Fabio apologized.

"Oh, I am so sorry Paulo, I was discussing some new suits with her."

Fabio looked around and saw that everyone there in the showroom was looking at them thinking that something was wrong. Fabio cleared away the misunderstanding.

"Everything is fine ladies and gentlemen don't worry he is my friend, please continue with your shopping."

Everyone in the showroom took their attention away from them and continued with their while Paulo again called Fabio and asked.

"Fabio! If you are done can you please tell me how am I looking?"

Fabio replied.

"Yes, Paulo! You look amazing in this now you look like you are going to a dinner at a rich hotel, am I right Christine?"

Christine answered.

"Yes, sir! You are right your friend looks amazing in this suit. He is ready for dinner tonight."

Fabio continued.

"All thanks to you Christine you are the one who chose this suit for my friend Paulo. Seriously I have to say that you have a very nice choice. I am seriously flattered by your choice Christine."

Christine was blushing at Fabio's praise for her suddenly Paulo intervened.

"Fabio! If this suit is fine then we should leave for dinner, we are getting late already."

Fabio asked.

"You like this suit? I mean if you don't like it then you can see some other suits as well. Christine told me that there many suits."

Paulo answered.

"No, Fabio! You said this suit looks amazing on me then I also like this suit, I think we should leave."

Fabio and Christine were disappointed by the fact that they could spend some more time together. A disappointed Fabio said.

"Okay! That's great, then let's go for dinner."

Paulo then asked the salesgirl Christine.

"Christine! Do I have to put this suit back into the suit bag or I can keep wearing this suit?"

Christine answered.

"As you wish sir. You can keep wearing this suit but please bring the bag in which this suit was kept because there is a price tag in which the number of the suit is mentioned it is required during the payment."

Fabio continued.

"Paulo, keep wearing that suit just go and bring the bag I'm in which this suit was kept. I am waiting."

Paulo agreed and went back to the changing room to get the bag in which the suit was kept while Fabio had little time to say something to Christine. He said.

"Christine there is very little time but I want to say that I want to spend more time with you do you want to spend more time with me?"

Christine replied.

"Yes! Yes, Sir! I want the same I also want to spend more time with you."

Fabio continued.

"Don't call me sir call me only Fabio from now on, just take my phone number."

Christine wanted to write Fabio's phone number unfortunately at that moment she didn't have anything to write on his phone number though she had a pen after she decided to write his number on her hand. Fabio was about to tell Christine his phone number but again unfortunately Paulo arrived at the scenario and Fabio stopped himself from saying his phone number. 

Paulo then asked Fabio to move to the counter for payment of the suit and head for dinner. A disappointed Fabio agreed and went with Paulo to the counter for the payment while Christine was unhappy that she couldn't manage to get his number and followed them from behind to the counter.

Both Paulo and Fabio arrived at the counter for the payment. The employee at the counter after receiving the suit bag told them the price of the suit.

"Sir your total bill is 21,000 euro will you pay by card or cash?"

Paulo was amazed after hearing the price of the suit he asked Fabio.

"21,000 euro suit? Fabio this is too expensive I can not take this I am sorry."

Fabio calmed him down and said.

"Amigo chill! You like this suit, that's the only what I care about, don't get worried about the price."

Fabio pulled out a wallet from his pocket and then took out his debit card from the wallet. He handed the debit card from his wallet and gave it to the employee on the counter. Paulo was feeling embarrassed that his friend had to pay for his suit, Fabio saw his face and knew that Paulo was embarrassed. The employee swiped the debit card in the card swipe machine and handed it over to Fabio to enter his PIN. 

Fabio took the debit card machine and entered his PIN while entering his PIN he told Paulo.

"Paulo! I am paying for this right now but next, make sure you bring your wallet and debit card with you, and yes pay back my money once you reach your home, OK?"

Paulo realized that Fabio said this so that he could make him feel no more embarrassed of himself and make him comfortable. Paulo simply nodded his head, Fabio, then gave the debit card machine back to the employee after he entered his PIN. The employee then completed the payment procedure and handed over the bill of the suit to Fabio.

The employee then thanked both of them for shopping at their store and asked them to come again. Paulo before leaving asked the employee curiously.

"Sir before leaving I want to ask you why the suits in your store are so expensive. What's so special about the suits of your store?"

The employee then started to explain to Paulo what was special about their suits while Fabio cheekily picked up the pen and started to write something on the bill. Fabio was done writing on the bill and after that, he kept the pen back and interrupted.

"Paulo, I think we are getting late you can learn it later their suits are so expensive."

Paulo agreed and both were about to leave the store. Before leaving both of them thanked the employee at the counter and also thanked Christine for helping. Fabio praised Christine in front of the employee saying.

"Sir I have to say your salesgirl is very good at her work she is incredible, I appreciate how she helped my friend to choose a perfect suit for himself. Am I right Paulo?"

Paulo replied.

"Yes you are amigo she is very good, she helped me a lot in choosing the right suit, again thank you, Miss Christine."

Paulo shook hands with Christine and the employee to thank them later Fabio also shook hands with Christine but during their handshake, Fabio gave the bill to her hand very cleverly, and finally both Fabio and Paulo headed out of the store. 

Christine later looked at that bill and she saw that Fabio had written his phone number on the bill with a message.

"Call me after your work."

This made Christine smile, the employee at the counter saw her smile and asked her the reason for the smile. She ignored it by saying.

"Nothing, I am going back to work."

Later she left and went back to her work but she held that bill very tightly in her hand and didn't stop herself from smiling, now she was waiting to go back to her home and call Fabio. Outside the store, Fabio and Paulo were inside the car, Fabio also had a smile on his face as well he started his car and started driving the car on their way to the hotel.
