Chapter 141. VIP
So-Hee and I talk a lot before we sleep. While Neo was sleeping in Korea, people in the U.S. began gathering at Gray’s Vault, eager to see what’s new and how extravagant the jewelry is. Even some jewelry companies sent representatives to visit.
Jack walked in front of the crowd and said, "I’m only allowing a maximum number of entries. I hope you understand that we can’t accommodate everyone if you all come in at once. The first 50, please enter."
Once Jack made the announcement, the store staff helped him count how many would enter. After 50 people were inside, they stopped others from coming in.
"Once someone leaves, another can come in. If two people leave, two more can come in," Jack instructed the staff before moving inside. Many attendees only wanted to window shop and take videos to upload later, but after seeing how gorgeous the jewelry was—and realizing it wasn’t that expensive—they bought one or two items before leaving. Once an item was purchased, the staff would replace it with a new one.
This created even more desire for those outside to go in, as the ones who exited bragged about the luxury of the store and how affordable the items were, but they also said that some items are super expensive. Photos and videos flooded the internet, with streamer friends like Kai and members of AMP promoting the store, saying that all the money they donated to their viewers was for charity, and by supporting Grays Vault, more people would receive assistance.
However, some individuals attempted to take advantage of the situation by stealing. Unfortunately for them, the T’s were vigilant, looking for potential threats in the store. If anyone was caught, the staff would call the police and press charges. Most stores might let it go to save money, but Grays Vault had hired a lawyer specifically for this matter.
Poki and Rae initially wanted to livestream from the store but didn’t expect it to attract so much attention. Jack informed them that they should consider doing it another time when the crowd was smaller.
As time passed, even Hollywood stars began to express their intention to visit, but they were waiting for the crowd to lessen.
Meanwhile, Neo was awakened by a sudden movement from So-Hee. He opened his eyes and saw her getting ready to stand up.
"Sorry, I woke you up. It’s time for me to work; it’s already 9 in the morning," she said, looking at him. I spread my arms for a hug, and she leaned into me.
"I’ll visit JYP today to drop off the jewelry. I might not be able to visit you tonight," she said, and he kissed her on the ear.
