Chapter 36 - Shopping

Bam

Alex fell to the ground she couldn't believe this would happen. That kid asked her the same question over and over again.

And the way he looked at her, he actually knew that it wasn't an accident, she bit her lower lip cracking her head on what to do.

Everyone was surprised with her reaction, what's going on? Why did the little boss face alex? Was there something behind that incident.

Only the apprentices knew what happened so they dragged alex to the back.

What do we do now? I think he knows, Trish was pale she didn't think this was going to be outcome if not she won't have supported alex.

She actually hid the curling iron and then plugged it, she made sure no one could see it, kate helped her by being on the lookout which made their mission smooth and then she secretly passed it alex.

Luckily the security cameras in the shop weren't working for the time being, so no one would be able to find out. But she still felt uneasy.

What's going on? Who's that kid anyway? You'll are just shaking because of a kid? Thalia scoffed.

They looked at her, like she was a fool. Alex obviously couldn't talk as she was thinking about her life.

We don't exactly who's behind him, but we know that person shouldn't be messed with. Chief gave us a warning to avoid him, else terrible things would happen to us.

How can you just believe all that without evidence? I cant believe such.

Oh! Would you just shut up! Alex who was distracted heard her and couldn't help but scold her.

I thought you were smart, since you came to this salon, haven't you noticed the kind of clients we have, they are no small fit okay!

Even though the bosses aren't that sound, but they're actually one the best in the town. This salon doesn't have a small client at all.

But if chief can specifically warn us about this particular one, don't you think something is off.

And actually I heard chief say his dad is practically bigger than the president. If that's true then we're all in trouble.

Thalia still had a nonchalant look, so alex didn't bother with her anymore.

But... But ..if he's that powerful why is he with sophia? what's their relationship?

He won't think of doing anything to us just because of her right? Or is she that important to him?

We don't know, but the last time he was here, he met sophia and they actually got to know theirself better. I guess they've become closer since then.

Thalia remembered how that boy was so handsome even the clothes he wore were very expensive. So why did he become friends with sophia?

What did they talk about? Immediately that kid entered the atmosphere of the changed, he was little but he's aura wasn't.

Anyway I don't think we should panic, Sophia's not even aware of what happened. Even if she is nobody would believe her.

I don't even think that kid would go too far for a girl he haven't known for long. So get yourself self together alex! She stared at her with a displeased look.

Everyone would know about this if you continue to act in such a way. she sneered I thought you were vicious but tsk...tsk.. you have no morale.

She turned and walked into the salon, everything was always linked to sophia, she actually made a kid of such caliber like her.

Thalia was upset, she actually lost to sophia; since she came everyone wanted to be her friend, she was also a fast learner, in just a little time, she learned so much and everyone could see her growth.

They even compared sophia with her; telling her that she was so care free and it has affected her because now her junior was better than her.

She felt so good as everyone one admired her, but now sophia actually stole the spotlight away from her.

If she could get closer to that kid, i can do that too, I have to wait for the right opportunity when he comes by. Hmph.. she was determined and nothing was gonna stop her.

Is alex okay, why was she acting strange? Peter asked as soon as he saw her enter the salon.

Yh she's fine she's just shocked because so much happened today, she'll be fine.

Okay peter didn't doubt anything she said. He sighed; yup so much happened today, especially with sophia. It's quite unfortunate that's girls hand is a work of art, seeing it hurt like that, I actually felt so bad for her.

Thalia narrowed her eyes and just gave a stiff smile.

******

Sitting in the car Sophia's back was stiff she stared at the guys in the front, they looked like wrestlers. She saw them the last time but being close to them now was a totally different thing.

She gulped hard and tried to be calm she didn't want to do anything that would cause problems.

Little tim noticed something off with sophia; he thought the pain from the wound was still much and that's why she was acting weird.

He lifted her injured hand in a very careful manner as though he would cause her more pain If he didn't handle her hand with care.

I'm so sorry aunty sophia! Does it hurt so much? Do you want to see a doctor? His childish voice carried a hint of worry.

Seeing a little hand in hers, sophia felt so much warmth, she looked at the little cutie that didn't know her too well but still cared for her.

She felt so much warmth, she put her arm around him; you know what?

What? Little tim quickly raised his head wanting to know what she'll say.

It was very painful, but immediately I say your face the pain instantly left. That's the power of handsomeness that only you can pull off.

Little tim's ear became red, he then gave a shy smile. Nanny zo stared at the pair, she could feel the warmth between them.

She then remembered something. she sighed I hope this joy lasts because I'm pretty sure that man would do something.

They finally got to k~mart one of the biggest shopping malls in the country. Little tim and sophia walked towards the shopping mall with nanny zo.

Sophia turned and saw one of the guards following them, he didn't look like a guard at all. If not for the fact that she has seen him before, she wouldn't believe he was a guard.

He wore a floral pattern shirt with some shorts and a hat, which was totally different from what he wore when they came to salon.

Except for his height and bulging muscle, he looked like a normal person going for shopping. He didn't walk too close to them but he still followed them.

Sophia didn't bother with him anymore. She and little tim walked into the mall hand in hand.

It was very bright and cool, with people everywhere. It was so pretty. There were huge statues in different locations. The mall was divided into different sections, where different things were sold.

What do you want to get first? Little tim asked sophia, as he looked at her with a smiley face.

Emm.... Let's get some snacks first, I'm famished. They then walked to the food section.

From the entrance, their nose were assaulted with delicacies, sophia was almost drooling, her eyes twinkled as she stared at all the snacks before her, she saw some that she didn't even know were snacks.

Omg I haven't been to this place for a while, look at all the delicacies I want to sleep here.

Little bum heard her and giggled; you'll get tired after a while and you'll eventually become sick of eating snacks, so that's not a very good idea.

Yes you're right! okay let's go over and get something.

The walked to the counter and so many snacks were displayed; mince pies, egg rolls, sharwama, pizza, doughnuts, samosa, small chops, cup cakes in different flavors and sizes, tortilla chips, cookies.....and so many sophia didn't know about.

Little tim wasn't tall enough to see everything thoroughly, the counter was made of glass, so everything was visible but from his angle, he couldn't see everything clearly.

Sophia noticed that he tiptoed to see the snacks in the other part, she smiled and then carried him up.

Little tim was stunned; he felt like a child right now, yes sophia carried him the last time in the salon, but this is different okay!

Sophia noticed his reaction; pfft.. you're so cute, don't worry I'll keep you down, let's just pick something okay!

Little tim thought about it for a while and then agreed, so he gave her a nod; showing her approval.

How about we go for samosa, sophia suggested; or may be sharwama I haven't eaten that in a while.

I think doughnuts would be better, or mince~pie, little tim placed his hand on his jaw and was busy synchronizing everything.

The lady behind the counter held the tong and tried getting what they suggested but they were too indecisive. She tiredly dropped it and raised head to get a closer look at the people, causing her stress.

Sophia and little tim saw the lady's reaction and stopped bickering; sorry about that we know what we want now.

It's.... it's... Okay, she stuttered, she was going to give them a little speech but when she saw the people before her, she couldn't help but stutter.

They were so charming together, especially the kid; he looked like he wasn't from this planet. He was so handsome even his eyes were beautiful, she had never seen a being this pretty before.

Cough.... It's okay you can take your time, I don't have a problem; her eyes didn't leave little tim even as she talked.

Little tim noticed her stare, he furrowed his brows and quickly hugged Sophia's neck and turned to another direction; this lady sure is weird.

Pfft..... Nanny zo who always kept a straight face couldn't help but laugh. Sophia quickly turned to her, she immediately returned to her normal face but it wasn't as good as before because she just laughed.

Sophia giggled and turned back to the lady; we'll have, some samosas, doughnuts and.....she then turned to nanny zo. What will like to have?

Nanny zo was surprised she didn't expect sophia to actually ask her about what she wants.

Coughs.... I want mince pie. Coughs.

Okay and mince pie also! Sophia told the lady.

The lady quickly packaged everything that she requested for, she peeked if she could see little tim's face one more time; but he didn't give her a chance.

He buried his head deeper into Sophia's neck, so she couldn't see anything, she sighed she really wanted to see his face again.

Immediately they left, other ladies from different counters ran to the lady that attended to them.

Omg those people were stunning, how can people be so good looking, i think that kid is her bro; he's so gorgeous and they have such beautiful eyes, you're so blessed to attend to them.

The lady didn't refute, because she was so happy to see such a handsome kid. Oh! If only he was older I would have shown my charms.

Pfft.... The ladies laughed, yh right! Like he'd actually fall for you. They continued their gossip.

***

Immediately they left the food section, sophia dropped little tim; her sides hurt a bit, but she didn't show it.

That lady has issues, little tim said as they walked to the eating area. Why was she staring at me like that.

Hahaha..... Can't you tell you're so handsome little tim. if you're so stunning now, I wonder how you'll be when you're bigger.

Little tim lowered his head and didn't utter a word but his red ears, gave him off.

Oh right! We didn't buy anything for your guards. Should I go back and get something for them?

No need! Little tim quickly raised his head. They're fine, you don't have to worry okay!.

Okay! Sophia didn't ask anymore and quickly opened her food, she was hungry. She ordered for samosa, since her right hand was injured she was glad that a little pick was added, so she used her left hand to pick it up.

Little tim looked at the corner and saw the guards that sophia was worried haven't eaten; were busy enjoying themselves.

He shaked his head. He then opened his food and slowly chewed on it.
