"here." swiping her card, she accepted the receipt with a smile before grabbing the bag full of all the products she had just bought. a content sigh escaped her lips as she peered inside, the shoes that she had been dying for in the last ten minutes since she had seen it in the window whilst walking past a shop, sat comfortably inside the designer bag ― a gift to herself, from herself.

pulling the handles of the bag together, she turned to her secretary and handed him the bag before walking off. the man's eyes widened in surprise as he hurriedly did his best to catch up with her, balancing another bag that was added on top of the five he was already hanging onto. 

"maira, didn't your father tell you to calm down the spending?" hongjoong questioned, trying to catch his breath at the same time as the girl continued to endlessly walk through the shopping centre. her strides were long as her heels clicked against the tiled floor and any bystander walking past could easily tell that the girl was drowning in money, as she easily oogled at all the branded items that were displayed in windows ― brands that no ordinary person would ever dare to even glance at.

"this one." she pointed to the one that she had seen in the shop's front window, turning to the store assistant who gave her a polite smile, his hands brought together as he nodded his head. 

"an excellent choice, of course, it's no surprise that you can spot a one of a kind from a distance." he praised, causing maira to smirk ― his flattery of course had no affect on her, but she did always find it amusing how they all almost always said the same thing to her. "is it a gift? we can get it wrapped up for you as a service―"
