Dan and Erica walked up to them and she bowed again."What a beautiful coincidence" she said and smiled.
"It is" Dan said and nodded his head, gazing at the man who stood beside her nonchalantly.
"What are you doing here?" Erica asked
"well what do they come to do in a boutique?
"you must be earning a lot for you to have come here to buy clothes, it is one of the best in town" she said and nodded her head, stealing a glance at the customized polythene back she had in her hand, then she looked up at the man beside her, whose eyes were fixed on something else that she couldn't point at. She then looked back at Eliza and smiled."is this your boyfriend?" she asked
"no, he is my younger brother" Eliza lied and Calohun looked at her with disbelief, her younger brother, he thought and frowned.
"oh, I see" Dan said and stretched out his hand to him for an handshake. He stared at the outstretched arm for few seconds and took it in his own hand, then let go of it. "am Dan" he said and smiled
"Calohun" he said without looking at him
"well young man, can't you see me" Erica said to Calohun and he scanned her with his eyes looking at her from her hair down to her silver heels.
"of course I can't, am not blind" he said and Erica scoffed
"so, don't you know who I am?" she asked and brushed her hair with her fingers, raising her chin high.Calohun scanned her with his eyes again then landed his gaze on her pretty face.
"of course I do, I Know you are a woman" he said and she scoffed. Eliza covered her mouth with her palm to suppress herself from laughing.
"Do I look like a man, nobody will se me and call me a man, I am definitely a woman" she said and frowned
"Then why did you ask, when you know you are a woman"
"are you trying to say you don't Know me, even elementary school kids does, you don't have to pretend"
"am sorry, he doesn't watch movies, so he doesn't know you" Eliza interfered
"still" she muttered.
"We came here to speak to the owner of the boutique, we want to make reservations" Dan who as been watching the Drama between Calohun and Erica said
"oh I see" was all she said.
"If you can wait, I will drop you at home" he said
"ah, you don't have to worry, we still have some places to go to" Eliza said and bowed her head in appreciation.
"okay"
"bye" she said and hurriedly hail down a taxi and they got in hastily. When they were few miles away from the boutique, Eliza took in a deep breath and let loose of the laugh she has been suppressing, startling the man beside her.
"why are you laughing?" he asked and she stopped laughing
"that lady back then, you really don't know her?" she asked and he nodded his head
"what is so special about her?" he asked
"nothing, just that she is a public figure, a very famous one" she said
"that man, who is he?" he asked
"my boss at work, he is very nice"
"it seems like you like him" he said and Eliza sat up, she scratched her eyebrows with her fingers and scoffed
"what gives you such a weird thought"
"am not daft, it is written all over you face that you have feelings for him, I can help" he said
"I don't" she denied and cursed under her breath, is it that obvious, she thought to herself.They got to the grocery store and she paid the cab man.
"we will have your hair cut after this" she said to him as they entered the grocery store. Eliza cursed under her breath when she saw one of her colleagues at work standing few inches away from them.
"wow" secretary Eliza" Daniella said and walked up to them
"miss Daniella" Eliza said and the lady smiled. Daniella stared at Calohun who wasn't looking at her.
"how are you doing?" Eliza who noticed how she was gazing at Calohun asked
"fine and you?"
"am good thanks"
"and by the way who is he?" Daniella asked and pointed at Calohun
"ah, he is my younger brother"
"oh really, he is so handsome and he is also my style too" Daniella said and giggled
"he is?" Eliza asked and wore a fake smile.Calohun scanned Daniella with his deep blue eyes and scoffed
"but you are not my type" he said and Daniella gulped down her spit.
"she isn't, don't be rude" Eliza said and slapped his back lightly
"it okay, I will leave now, bye" Daniella said and left the store embarrassed and sad.
"oh my, poor girl" she said. Then she looked up at Calohun angrily.
"don't you know how to talk to a lady?"
"is there a special way to, type, how am I her type" he said and Daniella scoffed
"whatever, let's buy some food stuffs" she said and they began to shop, picking up food items they needed.
