Ruthless flattery

Life wasn't so unnecessarily chaotic before Yoonji met Wang Ahn. She had a comfortable life with her sister and two bestfriends Mingi and Hyun Jin. But everything started changing drastically after Wang Ahn took a notice at her. Everything became dramatic and her once semi-peaceful life became non-existent.

.....

A few months ago....

At Tessa's Fashion store

Tessa Fashion store was a famous fashion boutique. All the clothes were original designs which makes them exceptionally expensive. But more the money it cost the more it attracted valuable customers like celebs and rich crowd. There was always some famous fashion icon or a new model or an heir of mega rich company present trying to disguise themselves with mask or a cap.

In a bright afternoon, a middle aged women known as Madam Nein was wailing and was about to lose all her composure. She couldn't believe just how incompetent helpers of such a reputed store could be. It is such a disgrace.

Assistant keeps on giving her flowery praises dress after dress while she keeps on throwing dresses after every trial on her assistant's face and keeps on insulting the whole store for it. It has easily become a ruckus and everyone could feel the tension in the air.

They can't let the madam leave unsatisfied as she is a highly valuable customer. As the pile of dresses were increasing, so was the rage of Madam Nein.

The assistants knew they were helpless at this point. They kept on looking at the door eagerly waiting for the arrival of the only person who can make any angry soul feel peace with her presence alone. But as always, she was late and the assistants were harassed. Even the store manager can't handle Madam Nein anymore.

At the same time a handsome gentleman was sitting in the corner and was watching this show with quite some interest. The only thing that he regretted was not bringing popcorn while watching this ridiculous situation. He was also giving occasional complements to his "new girlfriend" as she was buying the clothes with lightening speed. And why wouldn't she? She doesn't have to pay for anything. Having a beautiful face with amazing figure and decent contract with leading modelling agency named Star Struck was enough to be the girlfriend of this handsome rich man.

Just then, a girl in simple white dress came and all the assistants were looking at her like they can finally see the light. She mouthed to them that she will be there in 2 minutes and went to change in the back and came out in assistants clothing which was a black T-shirt saying Tessa's Fashion in the back and a symbol of butterfly in the front and black jeans. She tied her ever shining hair in a bun. Even in the simple black attire the girl was radiating.

This beautiful girl we are talking about here is known as Kim Yoonji. Kim Yoonji is not your everyday girl next door. She doesn't look the part neither she plays it. She got looks of a goddess who you can't miss even if you want too. With her darker than night waist length hair, curvaceous figure, pale but healthy skin and personality of a firecracker.

She can make use of a simple tablecloth making a stunning art piece out of it and has the gut to wear it too. That was her passion. A passion of becoming a famous fashion designer. But designing beautiful cloths is not her only talent. she has the flowery mouth and can praise so well that she can even sell a garbage can with so much confidence that you will think that it matches you the best and this is the talent which enable her to cling to her job and the title of the best sales lady in Tessa's, even after not being punctual ever.

As soon as she changed in her store attire, she went directly to the wailing customer with a beautiful radiating smile and said

"Madam Nein, it's really you I almost didn't recognize you. Waahh!!! your skin is glowing. Have you started the aromatherapy sessions you told me last month about?"

Madam Nein was elated to see the newcomer. She has always preferred to take advice from this beautiful lady.

"I actually did start it. You have very keen eyes young one"

"Wait a minute, do you have a new work regime as well? You must tell me. I am sure that you have lost some pound but I don't think that the A-line dress is flattering for you."

Madam was surprised to hear the honest review "You are right. I did lose some weight and I don't like this dress on me too. They all look trash.  Do you have something in mind?"

Looking at the positive feedback Yoonji said confidently turning her work mode on

"Actually, I do have something in mind. But tell me what is the occasion you are shopping for and I'll bring the dress accordingly to that"

Madam replied instantly

"It’s my niece's wedding reception"

"Do we have a color theme??"

"Yes, its mostly clean and sophisticated. Mostly white"

"Thats amazing. Then I have the prefect gown in mind. Wait for a minute"

The girl hurriedly left and after just few seconds came back with a Blush mermaid gown. The collar of the gown was crisscrossed and beaded with white crystals reflecting the light falling on it. But there was no other embellishment on it making it sophisticated. It was simply gorgeous.

"Look at this Madam Nein. This dress will look gorgeous on you and with your figure it will flatter and hug in all the right places!!!!!"

Looking at the beautiful girl giving her such high praises Madam Nein's pride was on another level. Who doesn't like flattery, right?

Madan Nien went back in the dressing room and came back within minutes and were carefully examining herself in full length mirror.

Yoon Ji said "This dress is definitely made for you"

Madam looked at Yoon Ji with a grin and said

"Ah you are such a flatterer, this dress doesn't even look that good on me and you are praising for no reason, but it does look a bit figure flattering"

The assistants looked at each other asking the common questions with their eyes 'Why didn’t she believed us when we said that?'

Yoonji's eyes were even brighter now and she wouldn't let this opportunity go. She hurriedly said,

"You should definitely look at those mermaid gowns. Have you seen the jewels on the red one? Don't they look gorgeous? and the embroidery is all hand sewn hence increasing the beauty of the garment. This definitely suits your skin tone and even brightens the look of your eyes."

Madam Nein was observing the dress with great interest and finally said

" You are right. It does highlight my skin tone. I think I will give it a try"

After taking few minutes she finally came back from the dressing room and started examining herself with scrutiny and said

"Isn't this color a bit bold for my age?"

Yoonji doesn't gave her the moment of self-doubt and hurriedly said

"Nonsense, an elegant bold woman like you deserves a bold color. This dress suits your personality completely. What about this blue one?"

The assistants saw the blue dress Yoonji was pointing at and their faces turned grave.
