Scarlet couldn't believe the nightmare she experienced just yesterday. Almost as if possessed, Mrs Liu became a completely different person, full of smiles and springing with every step, as she dragged Scarlet to the most expensive mall in town. Scarlet had never seen this side of her mother before and truthfully, it scared her more than the sickly sweet smile Mrs Liu gave when she was angry.
The girl walked till her feet were sore but Mrs Liu's enthusiasm never wavered. She kept going shops with each shop having pricier tags than the last. The accountant was like a raving madwoman, determined to empty the shops for the 'perfect dress' so that Scarlet could impress the Wilde's.
