3rd PERSON POV:
Their aunt is already greeting their old butler as well as nanny the moment they reach the door.
"Finally for a second, I thought you'd let me stand at the entrance all day long." She mockingly stated.
Instead of answering they all dive towards her and give her a tight hug.
After a while, "Alright kids... enough, I can't breathe anymore." Selene uttered causing them to let her go.
Then they all started talking at once.
"Omg, I can't believe this, it's really you."
"Where have you been all these years?"
"Does grandfather, mom and Aunt know you're here?"
"How have you been?"
"Why are you here?"
"Okay one question at time kids, and won't any of let me in first? Seriously I was just away for a few years and your manners all fade?" Their aunt snickered.
Jin faintly slapped her forehead remembering that their aunt is strict when it regards to their manners and conduct. Sure they grew up with such luxury more than anyone but if there is one thing that was instilled to them that is being grateful and good manners. "Sorry about that auntie, why don't we go inside first?"
"Aunt Sel, do you have any other things?" Julian asked after seeing only one luggage with her.
"Nah this luggage is all I have. Here take it, I can't believe no one told any of you that I am coming over today, I ended up having to walk from the front gate till here good thing I don't have many things." Selene ranted.
"I'm sorry lady Selene. I should have confirm with the grand master as to who else will be coming home." Butler Zhang apologizes.
"It's okay, uncle Zhang, I wasn't sure about my arrival until yesterday." Selene comforted the old butler.
"Wow, auntie Sel your luggage sure is heavier than me." Jake said while helping Julian with the said luggage.
"Oh hush you boy, I manage to drag that thing all the way here so that should be easy for the two of you." Their aunt waves her hand and looked at them disapprovingly. "You boys need to gain more muscle, you're so thin, well anyway the house sure changed." She lamented after scanning the main living room.
The house is their grandparents house and back in the days they spend most of their time staying here that their actual homes when they still live in this country.
"Master has asked for the house to be renovated a year ago." Butler Zhang explained.
"I see..."
"Oh I'm sorry lady Selene but I must get going. I needed to restock the pantry." Nanny May stated and was about to go get prepared when Selene stopped her.
"Really you're making auntie May do the grocery shopping?" Selene gives them a cold glare causing them to hang their head low. To be fair they aren't inform about this they would have of course volunteered if they know of it. Nanny May is quite of age already so it would be taxing for her to do the grocery alone.
"Lady Selene it's okay they weren't aware of it as young masters Julian, Jaden, Jake, and Jin, just arrived last night." Nanny May defended them.
"Well now that they know of it, they will be the one going to the supermarket. Just give them the list of the things they ought to buy and rest okay auntie May." Selene said.
Nanny May agreed then went to get the list she'd made earlier.
"Now for your questions earlier, yes dears it is really me. I've been traveling a lot these five years enjoying my life so you could say that I've been good. Also yes your grandfather and parents know that I am here. As for the reason why, that's to be discussed before dinner. For now, I would like to fix my things and rest. I've been on a very long flight." Selene stated in one breath.
"Okay aunt Sel, we understand. Let me assist you in your room then, we've all occupied our old rooms on the third floor so where would you want first or second floor?" Julian ask.
"I guess I would stay in my old room as well." Selene answered.
"The second floor it is then." Julian said.
"See you guys later be sure to be back before 5. I will introduce you guys to some people." Selene is almost out of the kitchen when she suddenly stops on her tracks. "And it's good to see you all being well. I missed you guys a lot." She mumbled and continued to leave.
This makes the five of them smile. After the incident eight years ago their aunt became detached until she finally comes around and decided to retire and travel around the globe. Though away she never missed sending birthday and holiday presents to them.
"We miss you too auntie." They shouted at once.
(A few hours later...)
"Now how are we going to do this? Should we use our cars?" Jazz asked walking ahead of the group towards the garage.
"I don't think that's practical, we should just use one car." Jaden rationalized.
"Well, which one then." Jin looked at the cars all lined neatly at the garage.
"It should be something that could fit all these." Jazz showed a long list of things they needed to buy. The original list used to be shorter but since nanny May gave it to them they have added many more things.
"Van or SUV?" Jake pointed out.
"SUV, definitely the SUV." Jazz answered as she went to get the key of the Bentley Bentayga.
"But only four of us would fit in." Jin argued knowing that the car is only four seated.
"That's okay I'll use Falcon." Julian volunteered and started walking towards his Ecosse Spirit motorcycle.
"That motorcycle of yours would surely catch unnecessary attention." Jin commented.
"Should I borrow Demon then?" Julian smiles cheekily knowing how his sister doesn't want anyone using her motorcycle.
"Don't even dream about it." His sister sneered then went and occupy the front seat of the SUV.
"Which one of you two will drive?" Jazz asked her brothers.
The twins looked at each other. "You do." They chimed and went to occupy the back seats.
Jazz felt dejected and went to ask Jin.
"I am not driving." Jin said before Jazz could even ask her.
"Fine..." Jazz stomped her feet then went to the driver seat only to see the three people dosing off.
"So not fair." She huffs then starts the engine.
"What should we do or rather buy first?" Jazz asked skimming through the list of the things they are supposed to buy for the nth time.
"How about this, the twins go get the things found at the supermarket, I go buy the things found at the appliance store while you two ladies go shop for the other things that are neither on the supermarket or appliance store. Once we're done let's all meet at the parking area." Julian proposed.
"Deal." The rest of them agreed and they part ways.
After a good 2 hours of being in the mall, they're finally done shopping.
"Soooo heavy..." Jake whined while pushing a cart that's almost overflowing with things in it.
"Hurry, it's almost 5. You know aunt Sel doesn't like it if we don't show up at the time she told us to be." Jin hurried them.
"The appliances will be sent at our place tomorrow so..." Julian stopped with his tract as a certain someone is blocking his way towards his motorcycle.
"So what?" Jazz asked while arranging the things they bought at the trunk of the SUV.
"I'm sorry but who are you?" Julian asked the lady whose stare is fixed at his motorcycle.
It took a while before the lady finally acknowledged his presence.
"Do you own this motorcycle?" The lady asked.
"As a matter of fact, I do. Who is asking?" Julian wondered and assessed the lady.
"How much would you sell it?" She ignored his question and arrogantly asked instead.
"I'm sorry what?" Julian was taken aback by this.
"This motorcycle is rare with only 10 pieces ever to be created making it hard to obtain one so I'm asking how much you would sell it." The lady nonchalantly said.
"You wouldn't afford it." Jin joined the conversation.
"I'm sorry?" The lady looked at Jin incredulously.
"I said, you couldn't afford it." Jin repeated.
"This motorcycle is being sold approximately one and a half million dollars and if we're going to add the profit that this man could add that would add up to 2 million dollars top so I think I could very much afford it. But you wouldn't know about this seeing how you can't even afford to buy a car worth a million." The lady arrogantly said while eyeing their Bentley Bentayga SUV. "Not bad though at least you manage to buy one of the most expensive SUVs in the world." She continued.
Jin chuckled at this.
"Who is this?" Jaden asked as they are finally done putting all the things at the said car.
"I don't know. She suddenly demanded how much I would sell my Ecosse Spirit." Julian shrugged nonchalantly.
"Ohhhhh..." Jazz exclaimed then started assessing the lady. "Nah I don't think she could afford it."
"Will you people stop meddling with our conversation? Who are you to join us when you can't even afford a decent ride on your own?" The lady exclaimed indignantly.
"It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that you couldn't afford this sweet ride, and he is with us so I think we could afford a 'decent' ride if he was able to afford this motorcycle." Jake said matter of fact, quoting the word decent and making the lady shut her mouth.
"Whatever, now back to my question, how much would you sell this motorcycle? Two or you wanna add another half mil? Call! Give me your account number and I will transfer the money right away." The lady then took out her phone, ready to do the said transaction the moment Julian agreed.
This time Jin couldn't contain herself and hysterically laugh. "You know what, you're so funny. Jazz assessment?"
Jazz looked at the lady from head to toe.
"Pretty common Elite, probably class C." Jazz stated afterwards.
"Not bad." Jake nodded but not necessarily looking impressed.
"6 million dollars." Julian suddenly said.
"What?" The lady doesn't seem to get what he means.
"I am willing to sell my motorcycle for 6 million dollars." Julian clarified.
"Are you serious? Do you think you can fool me? As I said earlier..."
"This motorcycle is being sold approximately one and a half million dollars and if we're going to add the profit that this man could add that would add up to 2 million dollars top..." Jin accurately quoted.
"Exactly so don't try to swindle me." The lady angrily spat at Julian.
"6 million take it or leave it." Julian didn't budge.
"No, this motorcycle is only around 2 million tops even considering that it is personalized." The lady insisted.
"Then you know nothing about a personalized motorcycle. Julian let's go or we're going to be late. I told you that motorcycle of yours would catch attention." Jin firmly stated making the later grinned. She then entered the SUV signaling the rest to do as well.
"Well, I've given you the chance." Julian smiled charmingly at the lady before mounting the motorcycle that they were arguing about.
"Wait, you can't go yet I am still talking to you. I did not permit any of you to leave yet." The lady furiously said.
"First of all we don't need your permission for us to leave, second he is done talking to you and third you think too highly of yourself, don't. You don't know who you're dealing with." Jazz told the lady in such coldness that shut her up before stepping on the accelerator.
"Nice chatting with you." Julian smiled like nothing happened before going after them.
The lady was then left in the parking area utterly lost since it is the first time that people ignore and don't seem to know her.
After a while, she finally recovered from the shock and is utterly pissed at how she was treated. Trotting towards her car she fished her phone and called someone.
"Hey, I need you to do something." The lady said then signaled the driver to start the car.
