Adopted Soldier

Chapter 48

Rachel was leading Alex to a home depot, since they were buying a bed and an AC . The two were wearing casual clothing, and Rachel was even wearing some tight fitting clothes which emphasise the curves on her body . This look of Rachel attracted a lot of boys to look at her, but when they saw the equally handsome Alex beside her, they could only sigh .

The girls who saw Alex were being mesmerized by his stoic face, they wanted to approach him but was stopped when they saw Rachel who looked like a cool beauty . A stoic man, and a cool faced beauty, they looked perfect for each other .

As Alex and Rachel were walking people would stare at them . If they were walking by themselves this wouldn't have happened, true they will attract attention since they were a handsome boy and a beautiful girl, but walking side by side increased their overall look . Now the two of them looked breathtakingly beautiful, as they walked the streets it felt like a king and queen were in a royal procession . The people that where in the way of their walk would move and they would stand at the side gawking at the two .

Rachel who looked like a cool beauty and was even showing a bit of a displeased face, was actually panicking inside . 'It's just the same as usual, it's just the same as usual . No need to be tense, it's just Alex for crying out loud!'

Alex on the other hand was walking as near to Rachel as possible, just so that he could react to any possible dangers . This action of his made the surrounding girls hearts beat faster .

The long walk was finally coming to an end, the two have finally reached their destination . Inside the home depot, the two first went to the area where they sell the AC's .

The saleslady that approached them had a ver friendly smile, when she saw the two she was surprised . 'What a beautiful young couple!'

"Sir, Ma'am how can I help you?" The saleslady kindly asked Alex, and Rachel .

"We're looking for an AC . " Rachel who had a cool queen like appearance suddenly smiled at the saleslady, which made her turn from queen, to cute fairy . The saleslady was stunned by the sudden change but quickly answered, showing her professionalism .

"How big is the room you're going to place the AC in?" The saleslady asked, in which Rachel answered the exact size of the clubroom . When the saleslady heard the answer her eyes widened a bit .

'That's a big room for a young couple . . . Hmm they actually do look like they came from good families . . . Maybe the room is actually too small . ' As the saleslady was thinking about what Alex, and Rachel's family situation was like, she had led them to the best AC for that size of room .

Without even looking at the price, Alex immediately said that he would buy it . Rachel then asked if the AC could be delivered and installed by tomorrow . The saleslady answered that there were additional fees for delivery and installation, there was actually even an additional fee if the two wanted it to be done tomorrow .

The saleslady like the pro she is, gently explained about the additional fees, with a calm soothing tone of voice . She knew that this was the part where the customer gets a bit angry, no matter how much money the buyer had, they would still get a bit mad when they heard the words additional fees .

Yet contrary to her expectations, Alex with his stoic face simply answered . "I understand just install the AC tomorrow, I will pay all the additional fees . " The handsome stoic faced boy, doesn't seem to care how much it cost and simply stated what he wanted .

The saleslady was a bit turned on by Alex's nonchalance, but controlled herself . Even though she was an attractive slightly older lady, she was still no match for Rachel . The saleslady could only sigh, 'when can I get a man like that?' she thought as she looked at Rachel a bit jealous .

Rachel who noticed the saleslady's look, could only smile wryly .

"We would also be needing a bed . " Rachel suddenly remembered and told the saleslady, who for some reason started blushing a bit .

When they got to the section where the beds where . Rachel immediately picked the single sized bed . The saleslady who saw her pick a single sized bed, was bewildered, 'why pick a single size bed? It's not like her husband doesn't have money? Or do they want to be that close all the time?!' The saleslady's imagination was now going on overdrive as her face was getting redder and redder .

Still as a professional saleslady she must pick what she thinks is best for her customer and the store . The saleslady then pointed at the most expensive queen size bed they had to offer .

"Dear customers, I understand that as newlyweds you want to be close, but please this model is better for you in the long run . Some space is always needed . "

When the two heard what the saleslady said they couldn't understand it, but after awhile Rachel's head was burning red, it felt like steam would come out of her ears .

"Newlyweds?" Alex repeated the word he couldn't understand .

"W-w-w-w-w-what are you saying!" Rachel that was stuttering at the beginning shouted near the end of her sentence .

The surrounding people then looked at Rachel wanting to know what was going on . Rachel who had calmed down after shouting, noticed the surrounding people staring at her .

So she lowered her voice and spoke to the saleslady . "We aren't like that, he's just my friend!"

"Oh my! So you two are like that . . . I'm sorry for the mistake . " The saleslady lowered her voice as well . Rachel who heard the saleslady's response, knew that the saleslady had another different impression, so Rachel decided to explain what they were doing and why they were together . She didn't want to be misunderstood even by sales clerk .

The saleslady who had heard Rachel's explanation bowed her head in embarrassment . "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding . "
