A month ago, I went to LA and visited a jewelry store on Rodeo Drive. I considered buying a ring in a different color but the same model I already had, and same as Beyoncé’s. I entered the store and asked a staff member if they had that model. The staff member couldn’t answer right away and called someone from the back. The woman who came in was breathtakingly beautiful and she looked like Iman (David Bowie’s wife). Her dark skin was glowing, and her teeth shining like a diamonds. I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t explain clearly which ring was. At first, she tried hard to help me, but eventually, she seemed frustrated. The moment was really awkward, and I was about to run away from there. Then, she stopped me and said, “Ma’am, may I have your number, please?” And I was like, “D-do you want my private phone number?” She looked surprised and didn’t say anything after that. Now, I realize she likely asked for my number to look my purchase history and find the product. But if you were me, I bet you would have frozen like me! I swear to improve my English skills and dress up so I can give her my number and maybe even ask her out next time! LOL😂 ## Images 1.
