Chasing Our Lost Stars [Completed]

First day at job

The sun is shining brightly over the city, Krit and his bodyguard are here to shop for Krit. They are inside one of the most opulent malls, the air is filled with the soft hum of luxury. Designer storefronts
Line the marble floors,each one boasting the latest in high-end fashion. It's Vel's first day as Krit's bodyguard and he's already out of his element. This world of wealth and extravagance is nothing like what he's used to.

Krit on the other hand,moves through the space with ease,like he's done this a thousand times before. He's dressed in a pair of clothes that looks exactly being sold here. Every inch of him exuding confidence and control. Vel trails a few steps behind, his sharp eyes scanning the area for any potential threats, even as he tries to ignore the overwhelming sense of inadequacy creeping up on him.

They step in a Gucci store first,the gleaming interior filled with rows of designer clothes, shoes,and accessories. Krit immediately heads up for the racks of suits, casually flipping through the selection as if he's simply browsing,through Vel knows he's here to buy.

Krit- (glancing back at Vel, smirking slightly) you ever been in a place like this before?

Vel-(shaking his head, trying to sound indifferent) Can't say I have. Places like this....not exactly in my price range.

Krit chuckles softly pulling out a sleek black suit and holding it up to examine.

Krit-(teasing) Well get used to it. This is just the beginning. You're gonna see a lot of these places with me.

Vel tries to ignore the knot in his stomach as he watches Krit casually drape the suit over his arm and continue browsing. They move on to other stores -Versace ,prada , and more. Will each one Krit adds more items to his collection: a pair of Italian loafers, a designer watch, a luxurious leather bag. The sheer amount of money he's spending is staggering and it's starting to
mess with Vel's head.

Vel- (muttering to himself, but loud enough for Krit to hear) The amount of money this guy drops in one shopping trip is more than I've made in my entire life...

Krit overhears and smirks clearly amused by Vel's discomfort.

Krit- (playfully) You think this is bad? Wait until you see my next car purchase. Now that's a number that'll make your head spin .

Vel tries to shrug it off, but the truth is, he’s feeling increasingly out of place. This world of wealth and luxury is so far removed from his own life that it’s almost surreal. He’s spent most of his life scraping by, taking whatever jobs he could get just to survive. Now he’s standing in a Versace store, watching a man drop more money on clothes and accessories in a single morning than Vel could ever hope to make.

Krit finishes his shopping spree with a visit to a high-end tailor’s shop for some custom fittings. As they step inside, the tailor immediately greets Krit like an old friend, ushering him to the back to select fabrics.
