Wow, Reynaldo really got Yoripero fired up. And the figures are just different; Reynaldoโs down jacket has sold out several times. Both men and women are buying it. Reynaldo really missed out on asking the boss for some endorsement fees."
Vonnieโs voice suddenly brought me back to my senses.
I smiled at her and said, โReynaldo doesnโt lack this endorsement fee. Letโs go, weโre going in.โ
โHuh, why donโt you go in and take a look at your photos?โ
โThereโs nothing interesting to see,โ I said, pulling up my scarf a bit to cover my mouth and nose.
Vonnie looked at me and said with a smile, โYeah, that shop owner has no photography skills at all. He made you look so fat. After you give birth, Iโll take some nice pictures of you.โ
โOkay.โ
I was walking into the Ice Palace with Vonnie, chatting and laughing, when a figure suddenly stood in front of me. I was taken aback and quickly steadied myself.
Vonnie frowned and said, โWho are you? Why did you suddenly block us?โ
The man looked at me, pointed to the down jacket store, and chuckled, saying, โI am the owner of that down jacket store. I thought I saw someone who looked like you just now, and it turns out it really is you.โ
โIs this another time you came with your boss?โ
It turned out to be the owner of that shop. I have to say, the owner of this shop has a good memory and sharp eyes. He could recognize me even after all this time.
I said to him lightly, โNo, I came with my friend.โ
The shop owner glanced at my belly again and said, โCongratulations! Last time I saw you, you didnโt even look pregnant. I didnโt expect you to be about to give birth. Youโre going to be a shop ownerโs wife soon, right?โ
Vonnie was confused and whispered in my ear, โIs he referring to Reynaldo when he mentioned the boss?โ
I nodded and smiled at the boss, saying, โCongratulations on your business booming several times. If you donโt move aside, I might consider asking you for some endorsement fees.โ
The shop ownerโs face changed slightly, and he chuckled, โItโs nothing, just that I want to thank you guys, so I thought of giving you gloves and hats.โ
He said and actually handed me a bag.
Vonnie took it suspiciously and opened it. It was indeed a furry hat and gloves, which looked warm.
โThank you very much.โ
With that, Vonnie and I walked past him, ready to leave.
The muttering of the shop owner suddenly came from behind me, โStrange, how come the current owner and the future ownerโs wife arrived one after the other?โ
My back stiffened. The first thought was, โDid Reynaldo come?โ
I quickly turned around and called out to the shop owner. โAre you saying that my boss came here?โ
โWell, he came to my store an hour ago, and I was surprised that he was alone.โ
โNow it seems that it may have been inconvenient for you to come with your big belly, so I didnโt bring you.โ
An hour ago? Is he still around here now? At one point, my heart was a bit confused.
Vonnie looked at me and said to the shop owner, โWhat is he doing in your store? Buying a down jacket?โ
The shop owner shook his head and said, โHe just stared at those few photos for a long time. You guys donโt know, I was so nervous at that time, afraid that he would get angry, accuse me of violating his image rights, and even afraid that he would come to me for endorsement fees.โ
