Chapter 27: The honour
Grey smiled softly. “I need to get some suits. I want high–quality suits.” The salesgirl smiled so enchantingly.” We have wonderful
suits here. How much is your budget so that I can pick for you?” She asked politely. ” Just pick randomly. And make sure you
pick them in high quality and very expensive materials.”
The sales girl‘s eyes sparkled with excitement. “How many should I pick?” Grey did as if he was thinking about it.” How many
suits do I have to buy so that you will get a big commission from your boss? I mean a big commission like one million dollars.”
The salesgirl went into shock for a moment.” For suits, it‘s easy. May I show you around then?
Grey nodded, “yes.” They walked through the lines and the salesgirl stopped before some suits. “These are the casual ones. We
have tuxedos as well. And the price ranging from $10,000,” she looked up at Grey for permission to proceed and Grey nodded
briefly.
She stopped again and stared at a suit. “Here are Brioni Vanquish ii suits which are worth # 43,000. It‘s one of the most
expensive.”
Grey regarded it for a moment.” This looks nice. Any other suits?”
One of the salespeople hissed when Grey and the salesgirl moved away from the suits, they thought Grey didn‘t know what he
was doing. Perhaps he just wanted to disturb the salesgirl.
The salesgirl stopped again. “Here’s Dormeiul vanquish ii suits which are worth 95,319 dollars. Which one will you like to go for?”
“If I buy this, how much will your commission be?”
She inclined her head to one side as she thought about it. “A million dollar sir.”
Grey nodded as he regarded the lady for another moment. “I want three of these then.”
“What!” The sales girl‘s mouth flew open.
Grey nodded with a smile, understanding the reason for her shock. “I also want two BRIONI suits. How many commissions for
that?”
The salesgirl swallowed harder.” #500,000 each.” “Good,” he smiled. “Pack them.”
“Yes sir!” The girl stammered and dashed off.
Grey smiled behind her for a while. He knew the girl must be beyond happy. He decided to look around before the lady would
return. Turning around, a suit on a display in the middle of the room caught his attention and he walked closer to it. The suit
seemed like one of its kind, especially the one decked with diamonds. Something told Grey quickly that the suit would be the
best to wear on Avery‘s birthday.
“Do you like this as well?” The salesgirl returned with the suits in her hands. Grey nodded.” Why is it on a separate display,
unlike others?”
‘That‘s because it‘s a limited edition and it‘s not a suit that can be bought unless with the VIP card from Hercules or Giovanni.
Also, it‘s the only one available in this store and it‘s a Stuart Hughes diamond edition. It‘s the most expensive and it‘s worth
778,290 dollars,” she explained. Grey stared at it for a moment. It was really expensive and it seemed like the best.
“I want this suit as well,” he dipped into his pocket for a VIP card. “Here‘s a VIP card made by Hercules.”
The salesgirl‘s breath became caught up in her throat.” I will call the manager now. He‘s the only one that recognizes the card.”
Grey nodded and she moved towards the telephone and made a phone call to someone that Grey suspected to be the manager.
‘For this,” the girl was saying. “Your total amount is 371,957 dollars, sir.”
Grey stretched out his card and everyone gasped.
The salesgirl deducted the money and stretched it back to Grey, with a bright smile on her face. “Thank you so much, Mr_,” she
stopped and stared up at him for a name. “Grey,” he smiled just in time for the manager to walk closer.
“Yes, good day sir. May I see the VIP card?”
Grey took out the card again and gave it to him. The manager stared at it for a moment, then his gaze searched around Grey for
another moment, then he concentrated it on the card again.
He gasped suddenly and looked at the salesgirl. “The card is real,” he looked back at Grey.” I‘m so sorry that we didn‘t recognize
you earlier. Is there anything you want sir?”
Grey shook his head.” If I need something, this nice salesgirl will put me through. She has been helping a lot and I hope she gets
the commission that she deserved.”
“She will sir, thank you for patronizing,” the manager said.
Grey nodded with a smile.” I want this diamond edition as well.”
Now, every salesperson gasped.
The other fat man and the beautiful girl walked out. “How much are these?”
“With the dresses and the suit, it‘s 15,000 dollars,” the saleswoman said with a frown, already regretting her action of not
attending to Grey when he came in. She merely thought he was poor because of the suit he was wearing. Who would have
thought he would have one of Hercules‘s VIPs or the money to buy such expensive suits? The salesgirl however was smiling
from ear to ear as she deducted the money for Stuart.
“Thank you for patronizing sir. I really appreciate it,” the salesgirl greeted with a wide smile. Grey nodded and walked out of the
boutique. He drove towards Alfred‘s restaurant.
The moment he walked inside, the manager rushed toward him quickly. “Welcome sir, will you like to stay in the VIP section?”
Grey stared at him for a moment and recognized him to be the man that insulted him the last day he came to Alfred‘s restaurant.
He even wanted him to kneel for the rich man if he hadn‘t given him the card that Alfred gave him. And he wasn‘t even able to
collect the card from him.
“Sure,” Grey accepted his offer and the manager led him into one of the VIP rooms. This particular one was close to the one that
Alfred frequented.
The manager closed the door and went down on his knees. “Please, forgive me for the atrocities I committed that day,” he
pleaded.
Grey turned to look at him, stunned for a moment.
“I‘m not angry.”
“Then, you have to take back your card. My job is at stake. You are the only one that can save me, please?” He pleaded the
more. Grey stared, shocked.
