The sales associates could barely contain their smiles, bustling about as they packed up the items and arranged for delivery, squatting down now and then to rub Serena's legs.
Perched regally on the sofa, Serena sipped the coffee handed to her by a salesperson and wrinkled her nose in distaste.
"This coffee isn't even as good as what my maid at home drinks."
Nicola, the salesperson, nodded enthusiastically, heaping on the flattery.
"You're so generous with your spending. It's clear you don't come from an ordinary family. I bet your servant's salary is higher than ours. We're just wage earners, and without the little extra you're letting slip through your fingers, we wouldn't meet our targets this month."
"Indeed, we're so grateful you graced us with your presence. Otherwise, we'd be facing termination this month," Guti chimed in, diligently massaging Serena's shoulders, and couldn't help but gossip. "Young lady, is it your family or your boyfriend who spoils you with the card?"
