"According to the schedule, no, I’m free this afternoon. But Professor Sanchez has a meeting with me at four," Joseph replied.

"Ah, well, all the professors here are assigned private rest spaces. If you’re free now, I could show you yours. If you ever consider moving into campus housing, you’ll need to apply separately for a faculty dorm. These private rest spaces are just for midday breaks—they only have a bed and basic amenities," Brady explained.

"Living on campus isn’t for me—I already have a place to stay. But if you’re not busy, I’d appreciate it if you could show me the rest space. Having a quiet spot to take a break during the day sounds nice," Joseph said with a smile.

Deep down, Joseph was sure Alice would never allow him to move onto campus. And truthfully, he didn’t want to either. Living with Alice meant having someone to talk to, eat with, and share his days and nights. Humans were social creatures, after all. While Joseph was capable of enduring loneliness, he saw no

    Who would have thought that Mr. Mason Alvarez harbored such a childlike heart?"What's the matter, Mr. Wilson? Are you into this sort of thing too?" At that moment, Mason Alvarez emerged from the room."Uh... not really. I was just surprised to learn that you enjoy this sort of show," Joseph replied."Why is that so strange?" Mason asked with a grin. "Sure, it might look a bit childish for elementary school kids—but for adults? It's just the right amount of silly fun.""Fair enough," Joseph chuckled helplessly."Mr. Wilson, take a look—what do you think of these pajamas? Aren’t they cute?"Mason had changed into a set of light pink pajamas. But this wasn’t the girlish pastel pink one might expect—there was a mature, elegant undertone to the color. On Mason Alvarez’s figure, it evoked a distinct charm.The pajamas were loose-fitting, yet Mason's figure was so striking that not even such relaxed clothing could conceal her alluring curves. Joseph found himself momentarily dazed."Ahem

    "Alright, alright, I get it. I’m not going to eat your precious Joseph," Mason Alvarez quipped, tossing the remark over her shoulder as she strode out with her usual fiery flair."Who knows if you will or not?" Alice muttered, pouting faintly.Moments after Joseph got into the car, Mason climbed into the back seat. "All set, Mr. Wilson. Thanks again," she said sweetly, a rare note of gentleness in her tone.Joseph glanced at her, feeling vaguely unsettled. What’s with her today? Did she swallow a gratitude pill or something?"No need to thank me, Miss Alvarez. It’s no trouble at all," he replied calmly. "But I can’t guarantee I can actually fix your drain. If it doesn’t work, you’ll need to call a professional.""Just give it a try. If you can’t fix it, you can help me figure something else out," she said matter-of-factly. "I trust you completely."Joseph was speechless. Help her figure something else out? Is she planning to latch onto me forever? He sighed internally. "Thanks for

    “Alright, alright, forget it. Let’s not tease Joseph anymore,” Alice relented, glancing at Mason Alvarez. Though she’d only wanted to have a bit of fun, she now felt a twinge of guilt seeing Joseph so flustered.“Tch. You’re going soft already?” Mason scoffed, casting Alice a look of feigned disdain.“Joseph, just wait for us out here. We won’t take long,” Alice said, grabbing Mason’s hand and winking mischievously at him.“Fine, take your time. I’ll be here,” Joseph let out a breath of relief.It wasn’t that he had a problem entering a lingerie store with Alice—if it were just her, people would probably assume she was his girlfriend. But with Mason Alvarez tagging along, it gave off a very different, very awkward vibe.As the two women disappeared into the store, Joseph found a seat nearby and pulled out his phone, responding to a few messages from classmates and work.Perhaps worried about making him wait too long, Alice and Mason came out again after about ten minutes.Then, the

    No sooner had she stepped in than Mason Alvarez emerged from another stall.“Mr. Wilson, what do you think? Does it look good?” she asked.She was dressed in a high-slit skirt that revealed her long, fair legs in teasing glimpses. The cut of the fabric was enough to stir the imagination, adding a subtle allure.Joseph's eyes instinctively fell to her legs—he said nothing, yet his gaze spoke volumes.Noticing where he was looking, Mason’s cheeks tinged with pink. She gave him a playful glare.“Pervert,” she muttered, clicking her tongue.“Ahem... looks great. Really flatters your figure,” Joseph coughed lightly, offering a measured compliment.“Are you hoping I’d wear it just for you?” Mason shot back with a smirk.“I never said that!” Joseph quickly waved his hands defensively, trying to look like a gentleman.“But your eyes already gave you away,” she said, mercilessly exposing him.“I didn’t! I wasn’t! Don’t make things up!” Joseph denied in rapid succession.“Then I’m not buying th

    “Yes, yes, that’s exactly it!” Alice quickly agreed. “I just didn’t know how to describe it.”“Sweetie, why don’t we just go with the ones we liked earlier?” Mason said to Alice.“Sure, sounds good!” Alice replied cheerfully.“Have the two ladies made up their minds?” Vanessa asked, stepping forward again.“Made up our minds? We picked out seven sets, not just one!” Mason declared.“Seven?!” Vanessa was stunned, visibly taken aback.The outfits here were pricey—three thousand per set was already considered cheap. The more expensive ones easily went over ten grand. Seven sets would easily tally up to at least sixty thousand dollars.Oh my god, this was a massive sale!“Yup, seven sets. Look, we’ve already decided on these two. Take them down and get them wrapped up for us. We’ll keep browsing a bit more,” Alice instructed, pointing at two outfits nearby.“Uh—yes! Of course!” Vanessa quickly took the two outfits over to the counter.Just then, Kimberly noticed Vanessa returning and rais

    "Look at him—not exactly striking. He's wearing one or two branded pieces, sure, but I’d bet he saved up for a year or two just to afford them," Kimberly said, casting a glance at Joseph."People like that usually have very limited spending power."She lowered her voice, careful not to let Joseph overhear, though the distance between them wasn’t that great—Joseph could very well have heard everything."So… Kimberly, you mean this customer probably doesn’t have much money?" Vanessa asked, scratching her head."Isn’t it obvious?""He’s just here to browse. If you go ask if he needs help, he’ll definitely say no, that he’s just looking. Then, after wandering a bit, he’ll leave. I’ve seen it a thousand times—classic window shopper.""If you don’t believe me, go try it yourself."Kimberly was full of confidence."Uh... I guess I’ll go over. He’s still a customer, after all."Vanessa nodded."That’s the right attitude. Whether rich or poor, a customer is still a guest. We’re in the business
