31 M Mall - Part 2
"Pardon me, CEO Hou, did I hear you right, and this is your wife Madam Hou?"
"She is," responded Hou Yi.With that he looked directly in Anna Jones eyes, and she could not look away."We just need a few things today.A dress and accessories for her to accompany me tonight to my parents, maybe a change or two of clothes, and of course nightwear and underwear.We need to hurry as we really do not have much time."With that, Hou Yi leaned down and gave Anna a brief kiss on the lips, hoping with his statement that this would imply that they could not wait to get home into bed.
"Madam Hou, if you could follow me, I will take your measurements and then arrange for clothes to be brought in.Do you have any particular designed in mind?"
Before Anna could indicate what she wanted, Hou Yi spoke and said "Anything, a white, ivory, or cream coloured dress for tonight, and the rest she can pick.Designers do not matter.We simply want this done."
Sadie immediately picked up the undertones in what Hou Yi said, just hurry up and get this done, we have somewhere else to be.She realised that she would need to act quickly otherwise he would get angry very quickly.
"Honey, I recall seeing in some magazine a couple of months ago, a dress in the tones that you are asking, but it had, starting from the shoulder, flower buds in the print, moving down the dress to larger flowers in the print of the material.The article indicated that it was a new release from the designer but I cannot remember who designed it.If we can get that, can I have it?" Anna asked in sugary tones.She already had realised that she needed to play a role, given Hou Yi was establishing her position in City T with the personal shopper.While Anna knew that Sadie, despite her job description was a sales assistant and Anna knew what it was like to be there, having worked at university in various shops to support herself, she was not going to make things easy.
Hou Yi, indicated "Whatever you like.Let us just get this done so we can go home."
With that Anna realised that despite what they were doing, Hou Yi was not happy being here and that they needed to do what was needed, as they had the appointment with the police officer at his apartment soon.With that, she accompanied Sadie into the change room.
"Madam Hou, if you could please get undressed, I will take your measurements, so I can try and find you the clothes you need."Sadie indicated in a profession voice, but internally being dismissive of this woman.She knew the dress that she was asking about, which while expensive for most people, the designer was not one of the top brands, which is what she wanted to force on her.But, acting professionally she had to try and see if it was available in Madam Hou\'s size.She could, however go to town on the other pieces, and get the most expensive items possible.
With Sadie\'s request Anna undressed, and at least while Sadie was measuring her she acted professionally.As she finished taking the measurements, Anna stopped her from walking away."Please use the same place you get the dress from for the other clothes.The nightwear and underwear can come from the one shop, a clutch to match the dress, another handbag, and do not bother about shoes, I have a couple of good pairs that I can use."
Sadie could not believe what she was hearing.Madam Hou wanted to keep the costs down, and she could see commission simply going to waste.However, she had to be realistic, she needed to comply with what the customer wanted, as if she did not, she risked losing the job."I will do that Madam Hou."Sadie turned around and took a dressing gown down off a hanger near the door.Please put this on, and feel free to either remain here or sit with CEO Hou, while I go and make the arrangements for the items."With that Anna heard Sadie leave the dressing room, and the door open and close, so she realised that she must have left.
