And the source of all these negative perceptions was this friend I considered my bestie.
Feigning ignorance, I smiled at Tina, whose expression was becoming increasingly unnatural.
When we got to the store, I was about to go in when she pulled me aside and whispered, "Yuna, the store clerk has already sent the new items to you. You don't need to go in. It'll be crowded and annoying later, and they're hard to please!"
I raised an eyebrow, smiling as I headed into the store.
"What's so difficult about it? That's all the more reason for me to help. No worries, I'm familiar with Hermès bags. Let me recommend some."
With that, I walked into the store, sat on the sofa, and enjoyed a cup of coffee before getting up.
As soon as I left, a few roommates wiped down the spot where I'd been sitting with alcohol wipes, sarcastically telling the sales associate, "Your brand should really pay attention to hygiene. It's summer, and clothes are thin. Don't spread any viruses."
I smirked inwardly but kept a friendly expression as I approached Tina to show her the bags.
One roommate rolled her eyes and used a tissue to pull me away.
