Plot Summary
A man works in a high-end fashion shop in Asia as the manager. He receives news that a higher-up, Heidi, will be visiting the store, perhaps with the chief designer and founder of the brand, R. He tries to whip the store into shape, but the other employees don’t care much about anything, so he has to handle everything himself. Things start to go wrong: he notices that his boyfriend is being distant, a homeless man pees on the store windows, and the clothes he orders online don’t work. The night before Heidi is supposed to come, the man does a chemical peel on his face that goes wrong, so he misses Heidi the next morning because he has to go to the hospital. After that fiasco, he texts his boyfriend a long rant about what happened, but his boyfriend sends him a nude clearly intended for someone else. The man asks Heidi what R thought of the store. Heidi said that all R had to comment was “Thank you.”
