My Romantic Adventures #94
A woman named Phyllis falls for Ace Thompson, a celebrated athlete who becomes a lipstick demonstrator. When a newspaper publishes a romantic photo of them together, Ace begins to take notice, and they share an evening in Central Park where he expresses his desire to keep hearing her say she loves him. However, their budding romance is tested when they both compete for the same demonstrator position at a department store, with their sales performance determining who keeps the job. As they clash on the sales floor, Joe—a fellow male employee—seizes the opportunity to win Katie's affection by showing her he can outshine Ace in selling, ultimately winning her heart by proving himself more worthy than the romantic but self-absorbed athlete.
