The sales associate knew not to believe whatever Edith was spewing; after all, it was clear that the two girls were the winners.
She brought them to the private room and served them champagne, but neither of the girls drank it.
With an awkward but flattering smile, she returned with a sleek black box and placed it on the table. She then began listing the benefits of being a VVIP, her voice laced with care.
The two girls' expressions remained as unimpressed as ever. Finally, the sales associate guided them to the console.
She said, "The initiation will begin now. Please place your thumb on the sensor."
Aditi was the first to go. She placed her thumb on the sensor, and the console beeped with a green light after a few seconds.
The sales associate smiled before congratulating her. "Welcome, Miss Aditi. Your VVIP membership is now activated. Please sign here to confirm acceptance of our terms and conditions."
