Transcript
00:00The woman only glanced one more time at the designer bag in the shop window.
00:03She did not expect that this small action would make her fiancé fall for someone else,
00:08but it was not because her fiancé thought she was materialistic.
00:11It was because when he was about to buy the bag to surprise her,
00:14his eyes were drawn to the shop assistant behind the counter.
00:16Elsa was clearly stunned for a moment, but she quickly returned to her sweet smile.
00:20Then she gently asked the man what he needed.
00:23Mike pointed at the bag displayed in the window.
00:25It was the only one in the store.
00:26Elsa took off her shoes, then stepped onto the footstool, carefully taking the bag down.
00:31Meanwhile, Mike's eyes followed every move she made, but Elsa quickly noticed his gaze.
00:36Fortunately, she said nothing.
00:38Instead she gave a playful smile, which made Mike's heartbeat even faster.
00:42The next day, Mike brought the gift to see his fiancé.
00:45She was very surprised, but soon she realized the bag was a fake.
00:49Seeing the embarrassed look on Mike's face, his fiancé did not get angry.
00:53Instead she gently told him to return the bag.
00:55So after they parted, Mike went to the shop.
00:58What he did not expect was, as soon as Elsa saw him, she began praising how well he and
01:03his fiancé matched.
01:04It turned out that when the shop closed yesterday, she happened to see the two of them.
01:08But the compliment strangely made Mike feel embarrassed.
01:11He immediately explained why he came, trying to skip over the topic, when she heard that
01:15he wanted to return the bag.
01:19Elsa walked toward the cashier, but her eyes slowly filled with tears.
01:23Mike looked confused.
01:25Only then did Elsa awkwardly explain the reason.
01:28The owner, um, always take the register key along her lunch break, so now, Jill, I'm sorry.
01:34The owner's distrust had hurt her deeply.
01:36Seeing Elsa cry so pitifully, Mike suddenly felt heartbroken.
01:40The man's broad arms gradually calmed Elsa down.
01:43Soon Mike came up with a solution.
01:44He would leave the bag here for now, and come back later to get the money.
01:48Elsa said she would definitely convince the owner to refund him.
01:51So he asked Elsa to bring the money to the Mehmet apartment, but Elsa did not know that the
01:55so-called apartment, was actually the future home of Mike and his fiancé.
01:59From that day on Mike stayed in the apartment all day, afraid of missing Elsa, but what he
02:03did not expect, was that two days passed, and Elsa never appeared.
02:07Even on the third day, while having lunch with a client, Mike was still restless.
02:11His mind kept thinking about Elsa, worried that work would make him miss her.
02:14So he ended the meeting early, and rushed back to the apartment in the heavy rain.
02:18Finally, just as he was wiping the rain from himself, the doorbell rang.
02:22He tried to hide his excitement, and quickly opened the door.
02:25Sure enough, standing outside was the Elsa he had been thinking about.
