Scarlett frowns at Moira, "Grandma, I love you but I can't do it. Inventory control is so boring I can feel my soul coming out of my body just thinking about it." Scarlett rolls her eyes up and grabs her neck theatrically as if she's dying and Moira can't help but chuckle. "Naughty girl! How about we make grandpa do this and we go and eat something yummy instead?" "Deal! Let's go and grab Bubbles and escape from this joint."
They are giggling like two little girls when they come out to the front, Scarlett quickly got Bubbles from Tobias arms and Moira kissed Anthony in the cheek as she grabbed her purse and waved at the two men. "Gentlemen, we will see you later. We're going to have some girl talk and get some lunch, don't worry we will definitely bring you something to eat. Now be good while we're gone, ta-ta!" Moira and Scarlett walked arm in arm out of the store before they could say a word. Anthony and Tobias just looked at each other and both looked towards the back of the store. "Tobias, how much you want to bet that my wife ran out of here before she finished the inventory paperwork?" Lee grudgingly asks Tobias as he gets the feeling that they have been abandoned again to do all the work in the store. "I don't bet on a sure thing Uncle Lee. I know that they have abandoned us. It's always the same thing when those two get together, they go and have fun while we toil away at work." Tobias smiled at Anthony and started to walk to the back office. Anthony frowns and calls out, "Where are you going to now?" Tovias wryly grins, "To do the dreadful paperwork ofcourse! If I don't do it no one will or are you going to amaze me today and do it Uncle Lee?" Anthony throws a ball of paper at Tobias, "You cheeky punk! Go and do it yourself, you're my assistant, so go and assist. Shameless!" Tobias catches the paper and tosses it in the garbage bin, "Okay, okay. That lunch better be the best in the world or I'm going to go on strike," he laughs as he walks away.
Hmph, that brat was as bad as his granddaughter when it comes to spoiling his wife. He was always surprised that she could get out of doing paperwork for the store, that sly fox Anthony chuckles. Anthony fondly looks around the shop straightening and dusting the shelves as he waits for his wife and granddaughter to come back from lunch. While the guys waited for the ladies to come back, Scarlett and Moira had just sat down at their favorite little cafe down the street from the store. "Scarlett, Moira how are you lovely ladies doing today?" Clarence King, the owner of the little cafe greeted his two favorite guests, he can always count on them making everything livelier. "Mr.King! We're doing great in this lovely day, and how is the family?" Moira smiles at the shop owner. She really loves coming here to eat with her family, not only was the service amazing, the food was to day for!
"Mark and the kids are great, in fact Lucy's birthday is next weekend, why don't you guys join us? The more the merrier you know." Scarlett smiles widely, "Oh wow....Lucy is getting so big! I remember when you brought her home from the hospital. She's going to be 5 years old right?" Clarence nods, "Yes, our little princess is getting old. So can we count on all of you to be there next Sunday?" "Wouldn't miss it for anything. Is there anything special that she wants as a gift?" Clarence chuckles, "Lately she has been collecting anything related to ballet and ballerinas. My sister took her to see the Nutcracker and she's been going crazy over it. She even asked us for ballet lessons." "Cool, I'll go shopping with Tobias for something super special for the little lady."
