The saleswoman looked eagerly at Harry, giving him a knowing smile.
At his age, Harry appeared slightly older, while Clara clearly looked like an 18 or 19-year-old college student.
Standing together like this, it was easy to mistake them for a rich man and his mistress.
"Online," Harry said. Right now, the only money he had was in his Online Wallet.
Ding! 680 dollars received.
As the store's announcement played, Harry took the shopping bag and handed it to Clara, "Alright, it's yours now."

"Brother-in-law, this was too expensive… Thank you… How about I buy you an outfit too?" Clara looked at Harry with both gratitude and happiness in her eyes. Smiling brightly, she gently held onto his arm.
"Sure," Harry nodded, enjoying the closeness of having his sister-in-law clinging to him.
"Oh, Clara, look! There's an LV boutique here! I just happen to need a new belt. Let's go check it out," Harry said, feigning surprise as he pointed toward the store. Without hesitation, he casually took Clara's hand and strode forward.
"Ah?~~" Clara let out a soft gasp, startled. This was the first time a man, other than her father, had ever held her hand.
Her first instinct was to pull away, but when she saw how natural Harry appeared—like an older brother simply leading his younger sister—she hesitated. Instead, she shyly bit her lip and accepted the hand-holding, her face flushed.
Even though she had been dating Justin for over six months, their relationship had always been lukewarm. Clara was naturally conservative, and poor Justin had never even had the chance to hold her hand.
Yet now, Harry had beaten him to it, stealing Clara's first hand-holding experience.

"Hello, sir. Hello, ma'am. How can I assist you?"
As soon as Harry led the shy Clara into the LV boutique, a beautiful young woman in a black suit greeted them with a warm smile.
Clara looked around nervously at the lavishly decorated boutique. The dazzling array of luxury handbags, illuminated by elegant lighting, appeared irresistibly tempting.
The luxurious texture, exquisite design, and the iconic LV logo naturally captivated women.
Initially, Clara had tried to pull Harry away, reminding him that everything inside was extremely expensive.
But the moment she stepped in, she was mesmerized by the collection of handbags and couldn't take another step forward.
Noticing her reaction, Harry smiled knowingly and turned to the sales associate. "Do you have the classic LV belt?"
"Sir, this way, please." The sales associate glanced at Harry with some doubt.
She didn't see any branded items on him, and even his clothes looked somewhat old and faded.
Her attitude immediately became much more indifferent.
"Sir, this is our most classic and affordable Louis Vuitton belt. Please take a look and see if you like it..." She casually picked up the cheapest belt and handed it to Harry, her politeness tinged with a hint of perfunctory attitude.
After working in luxury retail for a long time, she had learned how to judge customers.
People like Harry were usually country bumpkins who didn't understand luxury brands.
Most who came in just to browse would be scared away by the high prices, so she gave a token introduction before turning to greet another customer who had just walked in.
Harry picked up the belt the sales associate had introduced and glanced at the price.
Wow, even the cheapest one costs over 1,500 dollars.
And the most expensive one? A whopping 8,000 dollars.
And that was just for a belt!
The handbags and clothes were even more astonishing.
A simple short-sleeved shirt cost 2,000 to 4,000 dollars, while any random handbag could be priced at 10,000, 20,000, or even 30,000 to 40,000.
This was not a place for the average person to shop.
But now, Harry was no longer short on money. After struggling for so long, he also wanted to change himself and reward himself a little.
"Brother-in-law, you're not seriously thinking about buying a Louis Vuitton belt, are you?" Clara looked at him in shock as he casually fastened the most expensive belt around his faded jeans. She immediately nudged him nervously.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I come in?" Harry smiled, feeling that the 8,000 belt suited him well. He waved to the sales associate. "Excuse me, over here."
At that moment, the female sales associate was busy assisting another couple. Hearing Harry call out to her, she hesitated for a moment before reluctantly walking over. "Sir, how may I help you?"
"Brother-in-law, this belt costs over 8,000 dollars!" Wanda nudged Harry nervously with her elbow and whispered a reminder.
"I know." Harry glanced at her strangely, then turned to the sales associate and said calmly, "I'll take this belt. No need for packaging, I'll wear it right away. Let's proceed with the payment."
The sales associate's expression instantly changed, and she stared at Harry in surprise for a moment before quickly regaining her composure. With a bright smile, she enthusiastically invited him to the checkout counter.
"Clara, is there anything you'd like to buy? I think that bag over there looks nice," Harry said casually, pointing to the bag that the system had previously noted Clara had her eyes on—the "Little Soul" bag.
"Huh? Brother-in-law, you think this bag looks good too?" Clara looked at the bag on display in excitement, her eyes filled with longing.
She had been wanting this bag for a long time.
But since she was still a student with no steady income, and her family valued frugality, her father, only gave her a monthly allowance of around 1,000.
With school expenses already being high, she had managed to save just over 1,000 dollars after three months of careful budgeting.
Buying this bag, which cost over 10,000 dollars, was simply out of the question.
"Sales associate, could you take that bag down and show it to my sister?" Harry pointed casually at the "Little Soul" bag.
Then, without hesitation, he swiped his card at the register.
"payment: 8,800 dollars."
Hearing the payment confirmation, the sales associate's enthusiasm soared. She immediately retrieved the bag and respectfully placed it on the counter in front of Clara.
"Sir, ma'am, you both have excellent taste! This bag is one of Louis Vuitton's latest designs and is currently our best-selling model. It suits this young lady perfectly," she said with a beaming smile.
Clara reached out and gently stroked the bag, feeling the smooth texture beneath her fingers. Her heart was racing with excitement.
