Chapter 201 - 201: It Must Be His Illusion

She glanced at the swimsuit Albert was pointing to. She didn't bother to judge if it was beautiful or ugly. But as Albert said, there was a lot of cloth.

"I'll take this one." Sophia picked up the one Ryan had recommended and handed it to the clerk, who wrote her a ticket and told her to go to the checkout.

Albert turned his head and glanced at Ryan.

Ryan shivered. He read something in his boss's eyes, and that was not something good.

It must be his illusion, right? He picked out a nice swimsuit for the girl his boss liked. His boss wanted to see Sophia in a beautiful swimsuit, did he?

Yeah. It must be his illusion.

Sophia went to the cash register with the ticket, and the staff of the Pearson Group was in line to pay their bills. She stood behind.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman in front of her said, "This one doesn't look good. I'd better change it."

As she spoke, she walked out of the line and went to change.

After she said that, the people in front of Sophia suddenly felt that their clothes were not good and left to change. Even a young man who was checking out grabbed the clothes from the cashier and ran off, explaining, "Oh… wrong size! Yeah, I should buy a bigger one!"

"Well, I think it's your size," said the cashier.

They made it too obvious, did they? They just wanted her to pay first. After all, she came with their boss Albert. And everyone was nice to her to please their boss.

Sophia felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't think it would be a good idea to ask everyone to come back and pay, which would only be more embarrassing.

She had to check out and leave with the swimsuit quickly.

Sure enough, after she left, those who had just said that the swimsuits they had chosen were not good-looking went back to pay their bills. They still had the original clothes in their hands and did not re-choose. Sophia had a good memory. She didn't memorize those deliberately, but after a glance, she knew they didn't change them.

With the swimsuit, Sophia went back to the bus with others. Along the way, there seemed to be nothing different about Albert, but she just felt that he was not in a good mood. She thought he was depressed for his aesthetic being negated.

She did think Albert's aesthetic needed to be improved. It would be better for him to suffer a little, lest he always felt that what he liked was in line with public aesthetics.

Not long after, the bus arrived at the seaside. Everyone got off, took their swimsuits, and went to the dressing room to change.

Sophia also went to change. It was her first time in a swimsuit, and she was not used to it. 

When she got dressed, she looked at herself in the mirror. The swimsuit had an opening on the back, exposing her beautiful back skin. The skirt had a lining, so there would not be an accidental exposure. It was short, but it did show off her legs.

When she got out of the dressing room, she saw Ryan. He had changed into a swimming suit. With a wired smile, he said, "You're in good shape, Sophia."

Just then, a hand shot out from behind him and pushed him aside. Then, Albert stepped out from behind him and pointed to his right. "Go there!"

Ryan stayed and nodded at once, "Yeah."

He didn't understand why Albert asked him to go there, but his boss's words were the order, so he quickly ran away to the right.

When Sophia saw Albert in swimming trunks, the first thing she thought was that he had extra abs.

Then she realized that her attention seemed not right. But it couldn't blame her. Albert was in such a good figure that she appreciated him.

Albert also looked at Sophia. He was… not very happy. Sophia was pretty. In the pink swimsuit, she looked cuter. And her legs were long and beautiful. How many men would be attracted by her if she walked on the beach like this?

Although she was in a swimsuit,… he was just upset.

***

Ryan walked to the right for a long time. Still, he had not figured out what he was doing. Right then, he saw an acquaintance, manager Lydia. He casually flattered her, "Sexy swimsuit, Lydia! Nice! Men will fall in love with you."

Lydia laughed, "Thank you. If you are fascinated by me, can you make Mr. Pearson add the bonus to our branch this year?"

"Come on. I don't even have money."

Lydia sighed, "It seems that my charm is not enough. But… maybe it's useless to ask you for help. You just offended the boss. I may say goodbye to you now."

Ryan was stunned, "I offended boss? No, I didn't! I helped Sophia choose the swimsuit. You don't know how beautiful that swimsuit is and it suits her. The boss should praise me."

Lydia looked him in the eye and sighed deeply. "You have never been in love, have you? You know, a man won't be happy when his girl shows her figure in front of other men!"

Ryan then came to know it and got worried, "What should I do? I don't want to lose my job. I tried so hard to get here. I have parents to support, and I have to count on this job to marry a wife. If I lose the job, no girl will marry me."

Lydia said, "You shouldn't say that. See? You offended him. I'm just a manager. I can't even get a chance to talk to the boss. What can I do?"

Albert had been serious in front of his employees. Lydia didn't dare to talk to him. She worked for ten years in the Pearson Group before she could get the present position. Of course, she didn't do things on impulse.

Ryan said, "Don't worry about the year-end bonus. I can help you as long as you do me a favor. Lydia, I know you are kind. Please save me."

Hearing the "bonus," Lydia smiled, "All right.. In this case, I'll try… But I can't guarantee that I can do it."
