"Thank you for your patronage, sir."
"You're welcome."
Ruediger left the boutique with one big, exclusive paper bag. The lights overhead cast a shimmer on the bag's glossy surface. Then, he made his way to the luxury body care shop a few stores down.
The scent of lavender, eucalyptus and freshly bloomed roses hit him as soon as he entered. His eyes quietly swept across the store, finding only a few customers inside, most of them were women.
Elegant shelves lined the walls, filled with glass jars and scented candles. A small fountain in the center trickled gently, surrounded by Himalayan salt lamps and glass jars of dried petals.
Striding further inside, Ruediger went to the right side of the store, his steps unhurried. A sales assistant noticed him approaching in that direction.
"Welcome, sir. Anything we can help you with?" asked the young man.
"It's okay. I'll look around by myself."
