I initiated my next plan of trying to spend enough money to get Luke to despise me. If plan a with physical contact didn't work, then plan b it was.
I was sure that one piece of clothing would likely be the yearly salary of a middle-cla.s.s family. This was one of Luke's favourite shops that he went to often with unfortunately me. I used to stand back while Luke chose both of our clothes, but I would be more active today.
Luke did overall possess good taste in fas.h.i.+on. Maybe it was because he was used to wearing the finest articles of clothing available to him.
"It's fine, just get us everything on that other end," Luke dominated my order to the staff.
Since the staff was more familiar with Luke giving out the orders, they instantly cancelled my orders while they obeyed Luke.
"Why?" I asked Luke for the reason he rejected my order.
"You already have most of the dresses in those racks," Luke explained that he was just purchasing the ones I didn't possess.
I was surprised as I stopped myself from my jaw dropping. I could not imagine that I already owned most of the prestigious articles of clothing from an exclusive members.h.i.+p only store.
It was well-known in school that most of the items on the rack in the store we were in had a limited supply of clothing to make it seem more exclusive. Since I didn't like going shopping with Luke, I just let Luke manage my closet inside his mansion and school. That was why I didn't know where most of my clothing came from.
I stayed in the back as Luke arranged our purchases to be delivered to his mansion. I sighed as I didn't see the point in buying many lavish clothes when I would soon grow out of them.
I was determined to buy more stuff to waste more of Luke's money in the next store.
Luke and I went into an accessory shop next where the store sold hair accessories, gloves, hats and earrings. This was another painful shop where I usually sat in one of the comfy chairs while Luke picked out the items for both of us.
Thanks to his frequent visits to the shop, I had a dresser full of hair accessories, ribbons, jewels, fancy hats and gloves.
"I want everything in this display," I ordered the staff that were at my every beck and call.
"You already have everything in this display Rika," Luke cancelled the order again to the staff.
I did? But there were so many merchandise carefully arranged inside the gla.s.s display. The jewels sparkled like memorising drops of dew from a faint rainy day. The rolls of silk ribbons reflected the rays of light as they gleamed with joy.
The hats, gloves and hair accessories resembled fine items of craftsmans.h.i.+p as they were showered with lavish, but simple decorations of more jewels and silky ribbons.
Everything was created from the most natural and organic materials that were both rare and magical in the first district.
I promised myself that I would thoroughly explore what I supposedly possessed in my multiple closets in the location of his mansions.
I gave up buying anything in the accessory shop as Luke ordered more jewels that were outside of the gla.s.s display.
"Where are we going next?" I asked Luke as I sulked that I couldn't directly buy an expensive item.
"The shoe store," Luke and I teleported to the next store.
I was pretty sure I didn't lack any shoes as I usually stuck with my polished school dress shoes. I winced when I saw the towering hill of various painful-looking heels and uncomfortable soles. I wondered why Luke couldn't bring to one of those stores with snug running shoes or slippers. However, I was dedicated to sticking with plan b until the end of this shopping spree.
"Please get me every shoe in my size," I requested to the row of staff that were dedicated to serving me.
"You already have all of these shoes," Luke cancelled my order again.
What! I didn't know I possessed a countless number of shoes. I sighed as not one of these s.h.i.+ning shoes under the careful display appeared to be equally relaxing as they appeared to be flaunting their fine work. I reluctantly gave up on plan b as I could not antic.i.p.ate Luke already overspending on my clothes, accessories and shoes for me.
I sighed as I had to scheme what to do next after both plan a and b had failed.
What would plan c be?
Luke hated people who bought expensive things to show off to other people, touched him excessively and when I didn't act accordingly as part of a member of the 'Roselia' family.
I failed the first two items on the list and unfortunately the last one too as Luke just dragged me around the school while he prepared me for everything I would need to do to properly represent his family name.
I could have never predicted that he would try to get me ready for school while I slept.
The only other thing I could think of was to somehow bother him during cla.s.s without sabotaging our points.
