Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 49: As helplessness gnawed at her, Candice stepped into the high-end clothing shop. Before she could even take a proper look around, fate intervened. Milton's phone rang-a crucial business call from overseas demanding immediate attention. "You go in first," he said, waving her ahead as he moved aside to answer the call. His tall, imposing figure seemed to dwarf the lavish shop, leaving Candice to walk in alone. The store was a triplex, richly decorated. After giving Candice a quick once-over, the store manager decided against greeting her, clearly judging her outfit.

Candice noticed the manager's sneer but ignored it. Her appearance was far from impressive-dressed in a man's coat, a torn blouse, and shoes worth less than a thousand dollars. No wonder the manager treated her with disdain. Determined, Candice began to browse alone. The store offered both men's and women's clothing, with contemporary designs and exquisite fabrics. She skimmed through a few items, checking the price tags, surprised to see a simple T-shirt priced at around a hundred thousand dollars. After a few minutes, Milton returned to the store.

The manager immediately recognized him and greeted him warmly, "Mr. Lopez, we're glad to have you here today." Upon noticing Candice alone, Milton's face darkened with anger as he pointed at her. "It seems your customer service is really faulty," he said sharply. The manager glanced at Candice in disbelief. After all, this lady was here with Mr. Lopez! The realization startled her deeply. Milton had never shopped here with a lady before, so why was today different? The manager quickly dropped to her knees, apologizing profusely, "I'm truly sorry, Mr. Lopez.

I..." "From tomorrow, you're not required to show up here." Milton took a seat on the sofa and spoke seriously. The store manager dropped to the floor, her face eerily pale. Damn it! She felt like she might lose it any second now! After much effort, she had finally reached the store's management, but nobody dared to go against Milton's orders. Despite her reluctance, she was forced to pack up and leave. The other employees wasted no time in getting Milton a cup of good coffee. At this time, his long legs were crossed, and he was showered in sunlight.

Candice stepped forward and said, "This is also Royal Garden Corporation's property, I assume?" It seemed like Royal Garden Corporation's operations spanned the entire country. It was no surprise that there was a statement saying wherever there were people, there would inevitably be a Royal Garden. Milton didn't deny it. The remainder of the store's employees suddenly changed their attitude toward Candice.

From the cold reception she had received earlier, they now offered her a warm welcome and attentive service. A shop assistant presented a pink outfit and politely inquired, "This is the newest design of the year, Mr. Lopez. It's the only one available. How about I help this lady try it on?" With a slight nod, Milton agreed. The shop assistant then escorted Candice to the changing room, saying, "This way, please." Candice walked out of the dressing room after changing. Milton slowly turned his head in the direction of the sound. His breath caught in his throat when he saw Candice.

She resembled a classic beauty emerging from a painting, with her delicate face, gorgeous eyebrows, brilliant eyes, white teeth, and red lips. Her flawless curves were accentuated by the snug fit of the pink skirt. She had the swagger of a swan and the fair skin of a goddess. "How's it?" Candice hated shopping for new clothing. She reminded Milton, "I'm simply your attorney, not your female partner. The clothes I choose to wear are irrelevant." "If you say so." Milton nodded. Candice was under the impression that the shopping was over. But she was completely thrown off by what happened next!
