00:00The woman never imagined that simply taking a second look at a designer bag in the display
00:04window would, through such a subtle, innocent gesture, end up pushing her fiancé into another
00:10woman's arms. Even more ironically, her fiancé's change of heart wasn't because he resented her
00:16for being materialistic. Rather, while he was eagerly preparing to buy that bag to surprise her,
00:22his eyes became spellbound, fixed dead on the salesgirl behind the counter.
00:27The girl was named Elsa. Surprised by the man's sudden arrival, she froze for a moment,
00:33but quickly put on her signature sweet smile and softly asked what he was looking to buy.
00:39Mike pointed to the bag in the window, the very last one left in the store.
00:43Elsa gently slipped off her shoes, stepped onto a small stool, and reached out carefully on tiptoe
00:49to fetch the bag. Meanwhile, Mike's gaze clung to her graceful figure like wild vines,
00:55never straying for a single second. Elsa quickly noticed his intense gaze. Luckily,
01:01she said nothing, but glanced back with a playful smile. Yet it was this casual smile that instantly
01:07made Mike's heart skip a beat. The next day, Mike brought this heavy gift to meet his fiancé.
01:13The woman was filled with surprise and joy upon receiving it, but before her happiness could last,
01:19she discovered the bag was actually a counterfeit. Seeing Mike's flustered and awkward expression,
01:26instead of throwing a fit, she was remarkably gentle and considerate, telling him to take it
01:31back for a refund. The moment they parted, Mike rushed back to the shop like an out-of-control train.
01:38To his surprise, as soon as Elsa saw him, she began gushing about how well-matched he and his
01:44fiancé were, having spotted them together when the store closed the previous evening.
01:49What was meant as a blessing only made Mike feel deeply uncomfortable. Guilt-ridden,
01:55he quickly changed the subject and explained that he wanted to return the bag.
01:59Hearing he wanted a refund, Elsa asked,
02:02so you'd like your money back, right? Mike replied, yes. As Elsa spoke and walked toward
02:08the cash register, her eyes unexpectedly began to well up with tears. Bewildered,
02:14Mike felt his heart sink. Elsa lowered her head aggrievedly and tearfully explained that the store
02:20owner didn't trust her at all. Every lunch break, the owner would lock the cash register and take the
02:26key as if guarding against a thief. Being so distrusted made this beautiful girl feel
02:31utterly heartbroken. Watching Elsa weep so piteously, the final wall of defense in Mike's
02:37heart completely collapsed. Held in his comforting embrace, Elsa finally calmed down.
02:43Mike soon came up with a clever plan. He would leave the bag there for now and handle the refund
02:48later. Elsa promised she would convince her boss to process the refund, and Mike even asked her to
02:54deliver the money directly to his apartment. What Elsa didn't know was that this apartment
02:59was actually the home Mike had painstakingly decorated to welcome his future bride.
03:05From that day on, Mike was like a prisoner under a spell, waiting anxiously in the apartment,
03:11terrified of missing a single chime of the doorbell. But one day passed, then two, and Elsa seemed to
03:17have vanished into thin air. By the third day, Mike had fallen completely into obsession. Even during a
03:24business lunch with a key client, he sat on pins and needles, his mind entirely consumed by Elsa.
03:31Unable to bear even a fraction of a chance of missing her, he threw away all decorum,
03:37ended the meeting early, and sprinted back to the apartment through a pouring rain like a madman.
03:42Finally, as he frantically wiped the rainwater off himself, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.
03:48Taking a deep breath to suppress the wild excitement surging in his chest, Mike threw open the door.
03:55Sure enough, standing outside was Elsa, the very girl he had been longing for day and night.
04:01Human nature is often frail when put to the test. Sometimes, what destroys a seemingly rock-solid
04:07relationship isn't a bitter grudge, but simply the thrill of something fresh and exciting,
04:13unlocked the moment someone slips off her shoes and reaches up on tiptoe.
