Chapter 7: MEET AT MALL
As I'm just finish and done doing the shopping for myself, I cross path with a certain someone and a random stranger.
All three of us just stand in silence atmosphere.
"you know him?"
The girl besides Serendine ask her.
It's probably best to ignore them like I've never seen them in the first so that I can't disturb them
I simply got past them but
"ah, wait!"
Serendine grabs my sleeves preventing me to go now.
How damn annoying.
I now know what she felt from me grabbing her sleeve preventing her to go.
But that's for me to gain my benefits from the deal.
"what is it, miss?"
I ask, pretending that I don't know her.
No wait, I really know nothing about her considering we just met this day and have a mere manager and worker relationship.
"don't pretend that you don't know me! What are you doing here?"
What else will you do on a mall aside from buying things?
Is what I would like to say but that would be an insult of having them face the logic.
I'm surprised she still remains a high voice as usual though.
"sorry, who are you?"
I still keep this attitude of pretend not knowing.
"I dare you to keep pretending, then you're fired"
She said with full serious face
Is this one way to use a authority?
How great it would be to be gained and scary to be used against.
I'm checkmated again by the same woman twice today
"so, what do you want?"
Even if I will keep pretending and got fired that would only seem like lending her a free win considering there's not a single person who don't know her in this nation.
I simply stop it admitting my loss than losing my job because of this stupid argue.
"um"
I completely forgot about the girl beside her because of our small talk
"so, you guys do know each other?"
It's not surprising to say I know her but it is if it's she knows me.
Serendine looks at the girl besides her
"I'll introduce him to you later but I'll ask him first this."
She then turn back at me.
"what are you doing here?"
And she's back with that question again that don't need to be answered to.
"I was just about to go back"
I simply said as it would cause an misunderstanding if I said "I was about to go back to your house" considering there's someone else listeng quietly.
Now with the topics done now, it's time go outside of this mall now I guess.
Or so I thought.
"wait!"
Serendine said albeit loud.
"now that you're here coincidentally, how about help us carry things"
She raised her thumb and index finger as she said it pressuring towards me.
I have no right to refuse because of my position.
But
"then, give me an extra"
By extra mean an extra allowance, she probably knows what I mean.
Every work needs payment.
"don't worry, you'll have a loads of extra thing to carry later on"
That's not what I expect.
She's not sharp as I thought she would be.
Even if she notice what I want will only be asking too much because I just got an allowance today.
And if I ask her for it will only result as me being fired because of it.
"OK"
I have no choice now but to comply.
