"Mr Blackwood?" Charlotte prompts when he fails to respond to her.
"I'm sorry," he apologises. "Silly me. I was distracted by my own thoughts and forgot to reply. But yes, I agree with dressing for comfort. I would not wear stuffy business attire if not for the fact it's basically a job requirement."
Before Charlotte can say anything to that, Marianne is back again and ready to hit the next shop after returning the dress to a visibly disappointed shop assistant.
Despite the lawyer's presence, the shopping trip is still quite pleasant. Uchronia Mall is simply massive and there are just so many shops to visit.
In addition, Mr Blackwood is not entirely without merit. Shop assistants, especially those from luxury brands, treat them more seriously as potential customers than the peasants they really are just because he is accompanying them.
