“What’s wrong with that, Professor Wilson? You’re in your mid-twenties, and Mason is only a couple of years older. You’re both talented and attractive—a perfect match, if you ask me,” Felix said, his tone light and teasing.

“It’s not about being a problem, Professor Baker. It’s just… you don’t know my situation. I recently divorced my ex-wife. Professor Alvarez is such an outstanding person—introducing her to me under these circumstances feels… inappropriate,” Joseph said with an embarrassed chuckle.

“Oh, I see! That’s my mistake, then. I didn’t ask about your situation beforehand,” Felix said, nodding with understanding. “But still, if both parties are willing, I really don’t see an issue. Ultimately, it depends on Mason’s thoughts.”

“Why would I mind?” Mason said with a faint smile, her eyes locking onto Joseph’s with a piercing intensity that made him squirm. “It’s not uncommon for exceptional young men like Professor Wilson to marry early, is it?”

“Uh… well, that’s the situati

    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

    "So it was the principal who asked you to speak with Dean Neil Foster, in hopes that he’d introduce you to Brian Adams?"Mason finally pieced it all together."I’ve been considering whether I should invite Dean Foster to dinner. After all, I am asking him for a favor."Joseph exhaled lightly as he spoke."I think it’s necessary—definitely necessary.""But, Professor Wilson, I’ve always felt like you’re a bit out of touch when it comes to social niceties. Sometimes, it even seems like you’re a bit resistant to them."Mason looked at him with curious eyes."I’m still human. I’m not good at everything."Joseph gave a helpless smile."Fair point.""But you can always ask me. I’ve got some experience dealing with people—I think it’s useful.""Even though I’m only two years older than you, I’ve probably interacted with a wider range of folks."Mason said confidently."Two years isn’t exactly ‘only,’ is it?"Alice chimed in unexpectedly."Are you trying to die today?"Mason turned and gave h

    Alice rolled her eyes at Mason, then sneakily glanced into the gym."Shh what? Joseph's just working out—not exactly doing anything scandalous.""Also, what were you skulking around for, you shameless woman? Were you seriously taking secret photos of Joseph?"Alice looked at her with suspicion and a hint of amusement."How can that be considered ‘secret’ photography? I was just admiring Professor Wilson’s physique and wanted to keep a little souvenir."Mason’s cheeks flushed as she tried to defend herself."What kind of photos? Show me."Before Mason could protest, Alice snatched the phone from her hands.She quickly unlocked it. The two of them were so close, they knew each other’s passwords and accounts by heart."Just some casual snaps," Mason muttered.Alice zoomed in on a photo and her eyes widened."So spicy! You took these while he wasn’t even wearing a shirt?""Whether or not he’s wearing a shirt is his business, not mine. I didn’t make him strip."Mason skillfully passed the

    "Now that you mention it, I am getting a little hungry," Alice said, rubbing her belly."That’s weird—right when Professor Wilson said that, I felt hungry too."Mason mimicked her, patting her own stomach.Without further ado, the two girls began eating. Joseph could only chuckle helplessly at the scene."By the way, Professor Wilson, are you free tomorrow?"Mason asked."As far as I know, I don’t have anything scheduled."Joseph thought for a moment. He had an appointment with Neil Foster on Monday afternoon, and tomorrow was Monday morning. That meant he might actually enjoy a rare break."Perfect! You promised to go shopping with us—don’t even think about backing out."Mason gave him a look."If I have the time, I don't mind."Joseph replied calmly."Joseph, we’ve already planned everything. We’re going to that new New Century 2.0 Shopping Mall in Nova City.""It’s said to have over three thousand stores. This week’s their grand opening, and everything’s on sale!"Alice's voice spa
