"Miss, please get in." Lucy, pointed to the carriage from beside her miss.
Bai Chen stopped her staring contest with the carriage, which she inevitably would have lost anyways and turned to Lucy sulkily.
Bai Chen looked at her maid with puppy eyes, begging silently.
Lucy replied with a monotonous smile, "Shall we leave miss?"
....
....
....
Neither of them backed down. Her perseverance whittling, Bai Chen gave up. Rolling her eyes she glared at Lucy. "Fine." Bai Chen sighed.
She thought to herself that she would need to learn horse riding in the future.
With an imaginabley uncomfortable ride, Bai Chen arrived at her destination, once again groggily rushing off the carriage and finding escape on the ground. Relief gushed to her.
Lucy walked out behind her with much more poise.
The two girls caught eyes when they got out. First was the beautiful androgynous Bai Chen who captured the maidens hearts around them and 2nd, was the maid with more elegance than her master.
The two were a masterpiece when standing beside each other.
Finding themselves in the shop, Bai Chen was confused as to why the receptionist was giving her such a confused look. The girl looked at her with muddled confusion and a gaping mouth, before switching back awkwardly to her service smile.
"Miss Bai Chen welcome back! Allow me to escort you." The girl smiled. Fortunately the store front was empty so she quickly led Bai Chen and Lucy to the back. Passing the two girls to Betsy, she left. As Bai Chen walked in, she noticed that his chest was brazenly displayed, with two curtains of shirt hanging on either side of it. Somehow, he had lost even more buttons than their previous meeting.
She was startled and quickly turned to Lucy who looked on with strained eyebrows.
'What was this man doing?!' Naturally, Lucy was not keen to see a grown man's bare chest. It was not appropriate whatsoever. Especially displaying it in front of a woman!
He, who was previously tending to his work, looked up and noticed the two. As his eyes jumped to see the two, his body came with them. In a start, he launched his body off his chair, showing more of his stomach now.
"Hello, sir." Bai Chen coughed shallowly and signalled her eyes towards his bare body, trying to grab his attention to that particular area.
Betsy didn't notice, too intrigued by the clothing she was currently adorning.
"What are you wearing?! Who made this? Not that Jerry from down the road, was it?... No it couldn't have been; he's a dimwit. Who was it? There skills are impressive but the idea itself is bizarre."
Bai Chen felt a little embarrassed. Rubbing her head she replied with a grin, "It was me, haha." She looked downwards in embarrassment but instead of finding security in the floor boards all she saw was Betsy's bare abdomen. Her immediate reflex was to jolt her head upwards and was once again, whether relieving or not, was met with his face.
He pulled on the material of her jacket and flipped a part of the rim over, looking at the stitching, "Well done."
Overwhelmed with embarrassment and shyness, Bai Chen squinted her eyes while smiling. It felt nice to be recognised. She felt fuzzy inside, unlike Lucy who only held contempt for the man in front of her.
He, first did not properly wear a shirt, then touched a woman's clothing on the second meeting. In her eyes he was no different than a filthy rat in the street; they don't wear shirts either.
