The WealthTap System: Rising from Rags to Riches

Glorr Mall, Near the Central region of Glorr City.

M&H STORE, GLORR MALL BRANCH

Contrary to the dazzling store laden with myriads of expensive and exquisite products, A simply dressed man roamed. His plain poor clothes poles apart from the glistering items on the shelves.

Just like the ignorant country bumpkin he was, He kept gawking at the beautiful dresses.

His mouth salivated just by the mere sight of the contrasting collection between elegant suits-comfy pajamas, casual tees-formal shirts, tough denim-delicate linen...

Interested in every unique appeal of the products, he kept adding many dresses to his cart. Opposed to his poor clothes, he selected the costliest of dresses...

'That denim jacket looks so cool!' The country bumpkin aka Chris thought glancing at a blue denim jacket dressed elegantly on a mannequin.

Attracted by its inviting appeal, Chris quickly went to add it to his ever-increasing cart. 'Where are you~ Aha!' Chris searched for his fit among the many available sizes.

"Excuse me, 'Sir'." After Chris returned to his cart successfully finding his fit, He heard a sarcastic voice calling to him.

"Excused." Chris turned around to look at a beautiful woman dressed in an obvious set of cashier clothes.

With her were two other staff members consisting of a buffed-up strong-looking security guard and a cute staff member in pink clothes, Chris guessed her to be a helper.

" 'Sir', I wanted to remind you that you are currently in a 'premium' section of our establishment." Continuing in her sarcastic voice, the cashier spoke haughtily.

"Yes, you have reminded me. Thank you." Chris nodded to her blankly and turned to the cute helper and asked politely, "I needed some help in picking some female clothing, Please."

"Ahh, Ok-" The helper who innocently was ready to do her job was suddenly stopped by the cashier.

" 'Sir'. This is a premium section. Please keep the clothes back to their respective places." This time, frustration was clear in Cashier's voice.

"I am buying them, Why should I keep them back? Care to explain?" Chris gave her a side eye and scoffed.

"Since you can't afford them, As simple as that." Cashier shrugged and continued "We also have a cheaper section of clothes, you can maybe look over there... But, I doubt you can afford them either."

"I can afford these."

"Although I agree that currently being a weekday morning, the staff is pretty free. We are in no mood for absurd jokes." Cashier scoffed.

"You got some mental issues, lady. I said I can afford them, Or you're too dumb to understand?" Chris gave her a weird look and spoke flatly, dropping the politeness he was showing to the lady.

"I am neither dumb nor blind." Cashier pushed her glasses with her middle finger and continued, "If you can afford even one cloth from this section you wouldn't look like that." She pointed at his clothes.

"This section contains many delicate and expensive pieces, by touching them again and again you will soil them." She gave her reasons to Chris.

'Denim is delicate? Wtf lady?! And I bathe every day ok?!' Chris shouted in his mind but keeping up his composed nature outside, continued "I get it. But, I am buying them. How I buy them isn't your problem."

"You clearly are too stupid to understand your place. Security, Escort this young man out." Cashier sighed sadly and called security.

With an exhale, Security walked to Chris "I don't want to do this, please leave on your own to save me trouble." He requested as a formality to Chris.

Chris looked up at the towering security guard and rolled his eyes. "Enough of this! Call your manager!" Chris's patience finally ran out and he shouted to the cashier.

"A plebian like you is not worthy to meet our manager." Cashier scoffed and waved her hand to security, gesturing for him to take Chris out already.

"What's up with the commotion?" A smooth silky voice suddenly interrupted security's actions and Chris also turned around to the source of the sound.

'So pretty....' Chris was suddenly caught off guard by her beauty, His teenage hormones began raging and he had to do everything he could to control himself and act normal.

She was tall and slender with long, flowing brown hair and piercing emerald eyes. Her authoritative temperament was enhanced by her elegant black business suit.

"I am the manager here. What's the issue here?" She introduced herself and repeated her question in a calm voice.

"Your staff is being rude to me and discriminating my choice of clothes with my current outlook." Chris spoke about the issue pointing at the Cashier.

"Miss Rachel, Is what he said true?" Hearing Chris's issue, the manager turned to the Cashier.

"Yes, ma'am. He is choosing our finest clothes with no capability to afford them. I was just trying to save our clothes from spoiling." Cashier also didn't back down and spoke with certainty in her voice.

"And he confirmed that he is adding these clothes to the cart knowing he won't buy them?" The manager questioned narrowing her eyes at the Cashier.

" N-No ma'am. He says he can afford them but it's obvious that he is lying." A bit flustered, Cashier fumbled the words out of her venomous mouth.

Hearing her argument, Manager gave another top-to-bottom look at Chris and she had to admit that Cashier's argument was valid.

"Excuse me miss, I already said that I can afford these clothes. Is discrimination one of this store's policies?" Chris hearing the ongoing discussion interjected looking at the manager.

"No sir, I apologize from my staff's side." The manager hearing his words was surprised, quickly breaking out of her daze, she apologized. "Do you need any other help, sir?" The manager asked politely.

"Ahh..." Chris who anticipated more cold words and then he will tell them to f*ck themselves and rage quit the store, was surprised by Manager's polite and genuine apology.

"Y-You don't need to apologize... She does." Chris hurriedly stopped her bow and coldly looked at the Cashier.

"Let's make a bet, Miss Rachel. If I can afford these items on the cart, you will kneel down in front of me and apologize. If I can't I will do anything you want me to." Chris walked in front of the Cashier proactively and smirked: " Do you dare?"

A bit abashed by his confident approach, the cashier was at loss for words. However, she also trusted in her judgment and agreed to his bet. "Fine. I will show you that one should always be within their limits."

"..." Manager's eyelids twitched, she was thinking that how did the situation derail so fast...

"Ahh, Miss... Arianne. I am really sorry for causing such a scene!" Chris after dealing with the Cashier, turned to the Manager and read her name.

"The bet was unnecessary." She commented softly.

"Well, so was the discrimination." Chris shrugged and continued "But, I am really thankful for your interjection.

"It's ok, Treating our customers nicely is our job."

"I wish every manager and worker was like you... But, actually, I needed your help indeed." Chris smiled wryly and continued "I actually need to select some ladies' clothing too, only if you're free, I would like to request your assistance."

"Lucky for you, I am free." Arianne arrogantly stroked her hair.

"Oh my, This humble one is honored by your assistance." Chris did a fake bow to her, playing along with her haughty act.

"Hehe." Arianne seeing Chris's acting giggled and looked at the clothes he placed in the cart, they indeed were one of the costliest pieces of this branch. She couldn't help but get dubious of his capability but, she also didn't want to ask him about it knowing that the question may irritate him.

On the other hand, seeing Arianne giggling, Chris's heart began racing, he felt emotions he had never felt...

He felt the Love at first sight...
