Skylar's POV
When we came back home that day, I went straight to my computer and searched for the said key. I typed, "The key to Armania" and I got surprised when a lot of results came out. I clicked the very first article about it and read it.
"Key to the other world Armania" is what a famous businessman Liam Wong calls his treasure which he found 5 years ago. The key is a very vulnerable item for the old businessman. The treasure cost him a fortune for he said in an interview, "When I first saw it, I was really in love with it and promised to myself that I would get it.". The reason for the name of the item according to Mr. Wong is "A friend told me that the key is a key to an unknown world." the public laughed because of his reason but for Wong, the information is true "if you don't believe me, it's fine." he said.
Here are the comments of the public about this hilarious matter:
'HAHAHAHA I have never thought a person could be crazy about an expensive item and make the such hilarious unknown world he is saying."
"Lol, he can think what he wanna think. Unknown world pfftt.."
I scrolled down and ignored the rest of the comments and I saw the picture of an irregularly shaped key. It's gold and has diamonds in it. I suppose it's the key. I am quite surprised that it was introduced to the public. How he got it is still a mystery but the Armanian who gave the key to people must have his or her reason for giving it. They said the item costs a fortune. Did that Armanian sell the key in return for being rich? Why the hell would they do that?
I couldn't believe the name Armania has been living in this world for years. This world ahs have been published years ago and yet I never even heard of it. It must be because people thought it was hilarious.
"I think I found the key," I said while scrolling down a bit but I scrolled it back up to the image to let him see it. He turned my laptop and faced him to clear it clearly.
"What is this? How did the key get in there?"
I almost made a face slap when he asked me that. I still haven't told him about technology yet and I think I will need to do it very soon. "This is a computer. The key isn't actually inside the box. It just shows the key because someone took a photo of it." I explained as clearly as I could.
"Photo?" He asked me.
"An image. It shows you what you see. You could see it everywhere. Wait." I said and turned on my laptop's camera then I remembered something. "Where's my things by the way?" I asked him. I have never seen my things since I woke up in Armania. My wallet and my phone are in there. My makeup too.
"What phone do you mean?" He asked me.
"It's a little thing. It's black and it's handy." I answered. I don't really know how to explain to him what a phone is without telling him anything that would light his curiosity once more.
"You mean that loud annoying thing?" He asked me. I stopped for a second.
"I guess," I answered.
"I threw it in the lake. it's so loud at night." He said as if it was something very useless. Did he throw my phone in the lake? I could barely even pay for it and he just threw it just like that? "How do I take the key?" he asked me.
I set my thoughts about the phone aside and turned off the camera since it looks like he doesn't care about it right now.
"I still don't know. I just want to show it to you." I said and faced the screen to me again.
"I want it fast," he said and returned to my bed again.
I know that he needs it right away. I searched Liam Wong's profile and recent articles about him in case I could see anything. Then an address caught my eye. I clicked the article right away. It says Liam Wong will be showing off his treasures in a museum not so far away from my workplace. It's happening a few weeks from now. My eyes widened. My brain stopped working for a bit. I could never believe we are this lucky. Is it because I'm with him? I have been very unlucky all my life. I shifted to him with an amused look.
"We have a chance," I told him. "I think the key will be brought a few days from now. It's just nearby." I told him.
"How do we get it?" he asked me.
"We're going to steal it?" I asked. "But it says here the item is very expensive. Are we really going to steal it?"
"It's mine," he said without hesitation.
"No. Looks like someone sold it to Liam Wong. We can't just steal it." I told him.
"It's mine," he repeated.
"That doesn't work here, okay? The item was sold already so the owner is Liam Wong already. It's not yours anymore."
'And why is that?" He sounds so annoyed when he asked me that. I gulped and nodded.
"Okay Fine. We'll steal it." I answered and faced the computer again. He needs it more than Liam Wong needs it. I couldn't believe I just agreed on stealing something. I've been in the worst part of my life but never tried or even think about stealing something. This is just ridiculous. But it's for the good of many people. I guess I should just get away with it.
"Famous Businessman Liam Wong will be showing off all his treasures in the Anion museum! With this very big event, famous businessmen will be attending too. Liam Wong is known for collecting a lot of treasures and everybody has been waiting for him to show off his famous 'key of Armania'.
The event will be guarded by hundred of Liam Wong's bodyguards. Only known and popular businessmen will attend the said event as well as limited media.
If we're going to steal it, we need to have a good plan. I need him to get in the venue and take the item from them and then he'll come back right away. I can't come with him during that time. Someone might recognize me and I get sued because of stealing Liam Wong's most precious treasure.
"We'll go to the venue tomorrow. But we need to buy you clothes first." I said and looked at him wearing my baby pink shirt. I will take him to the museum and I'll let him walk around the place. I won't plan it since I don't know how to plan it and make it a success. And let's just say that if this plan fails, I don't want to take the blame.
"Get up. We'll go to the mall." I told him. He didn't say anything in just went up. Good thing is that it looks fine with those black shorts. It'll be fine to take him out. He put both of his hands in his pocket and wait for anything that I would say.
Since my wallet is not with me, I don't have a lot of money. I have never had a lot of money before but let's just say that I have less money right now. I think I need to stop by the bar later and talk to my boss about it.
"I'll go get my jacket," I told him and went to get a jacket from my closet. Wearing a tank top with a jacket on and black shorts, I took another wallet with me and we went out. I just need to borrow from Leslie or Julie if we run out of money. I can borrow from my boss too if they don't have any. It's good to have a lot of companions in life.
We went out of the apartment and walked to a store nearby. A few shirts and shorts would be fine for him. I went into the store pulling him along with me. The bell rang as I open the door. The lady greeted us right away.
"Good Afternoon, what are you looking for?" she asked me with a polite tone and a very wide smile.
"We need men's clothes," I answered him. She guided us to where men's clothes are and left us there to choose comfortably.
I took a 5white v-neck shirt for him and took 5 shorts the same as what he is wearing right now. I took a towel for him too. I looked at him and he was staring at something. I walked closer to him to see what it is. It's a huge table where they let trains run on railways. It's fun to watch for kids that is why it's there. He's looking at it as if something's wrong with it. "What's wrong?" I asked him.
"What's this?" He asked me.
"It's just things to keep kids entertained. Fascinating?" I asked him with a huge smile on my face. Then the train suddenly stopped while he is looking at it. The train went on and off so I pulled him right away. But he ignored me and the train went flying. My eyes widened. "Hey!" He dropped the train and put it back to place and had it running again. He walked past me as if nothing happened.
I looked at the train again and it looks fine. I walked to him. "You can't do that anywhere, okay?" I whispered but he scoffed. ATTITUDE HUH. I stopped walking and let him walk by himself somewhere else. I went to the counter to pay for it right away so we could finally get out of here.
When the Lady gave me the bag and the receipt, I pulled him out right away. We're going to the bar now and to the museum later.
"We're not going back?" he asked me while I am pulling him away from the store.
"We need to go somewhere else," I answered him. We were silent while walking. I can see a lot of people looking at him while he's walking confidently with a baby pink shirt with an ice cream design. The shoes he's wearing are Julie's shoes. I have pretty small feet so mine wouldn't fit. She said the shoes are old and she doesn't like it because it looks so boyish. I think she bought men's shoes. It doesn't look like women's shoes at all.
I shove the thought away and walked faster to get to the bar right away. The night bar is open right now, it's almost getting dark. When we got to the bar, the loud sounds are banging even across the street. I looked at him and gave the bag to him. I don't want to bring him inside. He might get the glasses high up in the air again. I won't let that happen. "Stay here, don't do anything, okay?" I told him and left him outside the bar. I went in through the staff door and met Julie and Leslie there. I went straight to Boss' office and when I opened the door, he was writing something on his table. I knocked even though I opened it already. "Boss," I called him. He raised his head right away.
"Sky," he called me. I bet he knew I'm back.
"I'm sorry because of my absence." I apologized. "Am I still allowed to work here?" I asked. Unlike any other Boss, we can talk casually to Lucas. His name is Lucas, he owns the bar and he's almost the same age as us but he's got a lot of money than us.
"Of course. We need more employees right now. Sally left." he said pertaining to Sally, a waitress here.
"Why?" I asked.
"He got pregnant by one of the customers." My face almost crumpled because of his response. "So how's life? long time no see."
"I'm fine but I don't have time to talk yet. Someone's waiting for me outside. I still need to go somewhere."
"Oh, is that so?" I nodded in response. "Okay, if you know someone who would like to apply please send him or her here," he said.
I was about to leave but a great idea went into my mind. I looked at him again that made him wonder why I looked back. "Actually, my friend outside needs a job." I smiled politely. "I'll let him in," I said and barged out of the office straight outside the bar.
"Hey!" I called him. He's busy looking everywhere. "I found you a job," I said and pulled him in. Lucas immediately scanned him. He doesn't need an interview to get in since he's my friend.
"Okay. You're in."
