Chapter 415

Even Frank lowered his eyes after a brief glance, rubbing his nose in silence.

Aria was pointing at a black babydoll nightie that was too risque no matter how one looked at it!

Winter nudged her while complaining under her breath, “I can’t wear that! Forget it!”

Aria snorted. “Why not? It looks perfectly fine to me.”

The retail assistant with them quickly chimed in, “Exactly–it’s our latest addition, and the design is as fashionable as it is comfortable. I’ve bought one myself too! It also comes in various sizes, so why not give it a try?”

Aria turned patiently to Winter in turn. “See? Your pajamas are thick and old–fashioned. No respectable man would be interested after seeing you in it. The way I see it, you should buy a few more just to make sure they can’t take their eyes off you.”

Winter could feel her cheeks burning.

As she glanced at Frank with the corner of her eye, she actually felt eager to try it on as well when she saw him blush.

Still, she just could not overcome her shyness.

“Why don’t you try it first? I promise you–this one really suits you.” Aria giggled before gesturing at Frank. “You be the judge, Mr. Lawrence.”

Winter turned pale and snapped frantically, “What are you doing?”

“Letting Mr. Lawrence take a sample, of course. You wear lingerie like that for men, y’know,” Aria told her carefreely, even holding the nightie in front of Winter to gauge the size.

“Ahem… I wouldn’t know about that, since I’ve never bought any before.” Frank cleared his throat awkwardly since he just happened to be staring and quickly turned away.

Winter had the freedom to wear whatever she liked, but Frank actually would rather she did not.

Students should dress the part, after all.

“See? He’s shy.” Aria goaded Winter. “Go on, try it!”

Winter still could not overcome her own shyness, however, just as she could sense Frank’s aversion.

“Forget it. I’m getting something normal,” Winter said and shoved the nightie back into Aria’s hands before heading further inside the store.

“Hey…”

Aria was going to stop her, but Winter had already put some distance between them and started picking something else with the retail assistant’s help.

She was actually disappointed that Winter did not seize the chance when she could and turned toward Frank Lifting the nightie with just a finger, she purred, “Don’t be shy, Mr. Lawrence. Nothing to get shy about when it’s just me–I’ll put this on if you’d like to look.”

Frank did a double take, surprised that she was that liberal.

Still, he said, “Not interested.”

Aria doubted that, presuming that Frank was just faking it since there was no man in the world who would not be.

“You can quit pretending, Mr. Lawrence. Just wait here.” She smiled and headed into a changing room right then.

As Frank was left speechless, Winter also picked something she liked. “What do you think about this one, Frank?”

She was holding a white bra–there was no elaborate fabric, but it was much more conservative than the babydoll nightie earlier.

Frank was left feeling awkward again–why would she ask him when he was not her boyfriend?

“Oh… It’s not bad,” he replied half–heartedly.

The retail assistant was left a little perplexed right then–what was the story between him and the two ladies here?

As Winter took the bra she picked into the changing room, the retail assistant told her, “Take your time, miss. Just let me know if you need help.”

“Okay.”

The retail assistant left to serve other customers, while Winter slowly took off her jacket to try on the bra in front of the mirror
