In My Desperate Time

I enter the hall and sit down but I keep stealing glances from the direction of the corridor.

The moment I sit down, a man subsequently sits opposite me.

He looks gentlemanly with the way he sports a golden frame glasses. He flashes a polite smile at me.

I return his smile with one of my own while asking, “Anything I can help you with?”

“You are wearing an Armani polo tee, but you’re wearing a branded DS silk scarf across your waist, besides using a brooch to pin the fabric on the right side of your silk scarf in a way that forms an irregular pattern on your dress. I am attracted by the way you dress, so I decided to come say hi.”

His compliments indeed make me stumped. I have just simply dressed up, yet this has warranted such compliments?

Isn’t this a little surprising?

I have used the monetary reward given to me by Steven last time to buy this silk scarf as a reward for myself. However, I have been agonizing over the price itself long after I bought this scarf.

Based on the way this man is carrying himself around, coupled with the way he speaks, I can see at a glance he’s also part of the fashion industry.

“Nice to meet you, may I know you are…”

“I am Herman Allison, the director of the department of design of DS. You can also call me Herman.”
