Halsey wished the ground would just open up and swallow her whole. Why did the family planning section even need a sales assistant?
And to make things worse, she had no idea what kind she was supposed to get.
“Uh… Just something simple,” Halsey mumbled.
The assistant picked up a box. “Then how about the basic type?”
Halsey reached out. “Sure.”
But instead of handing it over, the assistant kept going, “What size does your partner use? We have small, medium, large, and extra–large.”
Halsey froze.
Seriously? Did she have to ask something so embarrassing? “I–I don’t know…”
“Where’s your partner?”
Halsey turned and pointed. “Over there.”
The assistant followed her gaze, and her eyes lit up. “Wow. He’s hot.”
Shaun was standing under the bright store lights, dressed in a sleek black suit. He looked tall and sharp, flipping through a book with a calm expression. His long legs and lean frame could’ve easily landed him on the cover of a fashion magazine.
Halsey glanced at him, too.
Yeah, he was hot. There was no denying it.
Back when he was just a broke nobody named Dwight, girls from wealthy families still chased after him like crazy.
He looked amazing in a suit–clean, refined, and irresistible.
The assistant giggled. “I think he’s probably an extra–large.”
Halsey was speechless. She couldn’t even tell. How could this woman know just by looking?
The assistant handed her a small box. “Is one enough?”
Halsey bit her lower lip. “Better grab a few more.”
“Alright, let’s make it three boxes.”
“Thanks.”
Halsey took the three boxes and rushed back to Shaun’s side. “Got them.”
Shaun looked down at her and gently pinched her cheek. “Why’s your face so red?”
Halsey caught her reflection in one of the mirrors and nearly jumped. Her face was bright red, like a ripe tomato.
“Must be the heat,” she muttered. “Let’s go check out.”
Shaun laughed. “What’s the hurry?”
Halsey couldn’t believe he would ask that.
She wanted to claw that smirk off his face. He just loved teasing her!
At the checkout, she quickly placed the three boxes on the counter ‘We’re ready.”

Unlike Halsey’s flustered state, Shaun was perfectly relaxed. He slipped an arm around her waist and leaned down to whisper with a grin, “Three boxes, huh?”
Halsey immediately regretted it. She felt like she must’ve had a stroke when she made that decisioni.
Why three boxes? Why?
Shaun chuckled. “Let’s try and use them all tonight.”
She shot him a death glare. How she wished she could just silence him right there and then!
The cashier said, “That’ll be 20 bucks.”
Shaun nodded. “Alright.”
After he paid, Shaun grabbed the bag in one hand and gently took Halsey’s hand in the other as they left the store and walked back to the car.
Halsey reached for the passenger door, but Shaun had already opened the back. “Get in the back seat.”
He wanted her in the back?
With her head down, Halsey obediently climbed in.
Shaun closed the door behind her, then returned to the driver’s seat and pulled away from the store.
Halsey didn’t know where he was going, but it seemed like they were heading somewhere more and more remote. Finally, the car rolled to a stop. Shaun got out and walked around to the back seat.
She could hear the pounding of her heartbeat, loud and fast.
Even after three years, Shaun still made her heart race like crazy.
