Lucinda gave a soft, skeptical laugh. “Of course you’re going to say the clothes here are great. You work here.”
At the sound of her voice, Paige spun around, eyes bright with excitement. “Lucinda, look at this one. Isn’t it gorgeous? Miss L designed it herself. There are only a hundred in the world, and just ten available here.”
Lucinda shrugged, her tone casual. “Honestly, I think it’s just alright.”
Paige just grinned. “Well, we don’t have the same style anyway. It makes sense you’d think that.” Then she turned to the sales associate, her energy infectious. “Can you bring out something that fits her usual vibe? Let her try it on and see if she still says she’s not interested.”
Paige knew Lucinda’s taste inside out. Every time LYLX dropped a new collection, no matter the season, Lucinda had to get her hands on it first. That’s why, the moment Paige got the store’s notification, she called Lucinda to come with her.
But today, Lucinda was acting out of character. “I’m good. I don’t feel great today. I don’t really want to try anything on.”
Paige’s eyes went wide. “Wait, really? You’re not even going to try? So you’re not buying anything?”
Lucinda looked completely unfazed. “If I’m not trying, I’m definitely not buying.”
Paige stared at her in disbelief. “Seriously? You’re just going to walk away? I saw a dress earlier that’s exactly your style. You always love this kind of thing.”
