Alison looked at the hall with a satisfied grin. With the help of Alonso, they had put everything in their right place.
''Elder sister, we are finally done.'' Alonso spoke.
''I know, right? I thought it will take us forever but we actually finished early. Thanks to you. You are so strong for a boy who is just 15 years'' Alison said, and turned to look at Alonso.
''I'm glad I could be of help.''
''Where is that eccentric woman who promised to be here by the time we are done?'' Alison asked, and looked at the door.
''I am here'' Lucia opened the door, and entered. She looked at the hall, and clapped her hands saying, ''you did well!''
''Let's go to the mall, we have a few things to buy, and Alonso needs a change of clothes.''
''I think you have already adapted to the big sister role so well within a short time.'' Lucia placed her hand over Alison's shoulder as she spoke.
''Hey, don't even let me start. Just thinking about the hole this will create in my account, I am secretly crying.''
''Aye, you love money so much!''
''Of course, money is the only thing that doesn't disappoint.'' Alison placed her hand on Lucia's shoulder as they walked out.
Alonso walked behind them silently as the two chatted.
When they got to the car, Lucia felt Walden's presence and looked. She smirked when she saw him at the top floor looking over.
"Let's go, guys..." Lucia said and got into the car. As she drove away, Walden watched them. He had a complicated look on his face. No one could really tell what he was thinking since he looked quite mysterious.
…..
At the City mall.
Lucia wore a mask to cover her face since she was a public figure. She was a popular model, one that was in high demand at that hence, she didn't want to attract attention to herself. She folded her arms and walked behind Alison, and Alonso lazily.
Alison turned and looked at Lucia and shook her head asking, ''do you think you are here for a photoshoot? Why are you dressed so over the top?''
''I need to look beautiful at all times, so that the paparazzi won't have an ugly picture of me. I hate ugly things!'' Lucia replied.
''Why don't you just go back, and sit in the car?''
''I can't!''
''Why?''
''Because I need to make sure everything is alright. Don't you also need me to foot the bills? I could go if you want me to…'' Lucia raised her brows questionably and turned to go.
''No, no, your highness please stay, and liberate this poor human...'' Alison held Lucia's hand, stopping her from leaving.
''That's about right. Are you done here?'' Lucia smiled.
''Yes, we are going to get Alonso his clothes, then, we can go home.''
''Let's go then…'' Lucia said, and turned, walking away.
''She is really eccentric, right?'' Alison turned and asked Alonso.
''I heard that!'' Lucia said to them and they chuckled.

Lucia slumped on the couch and yawned tiredly. ''I am so tired!''
''You didn't even do anything, and you are tired? The life of a celebrity must be tough...'' Alison said as she placed the bags on the kitchen table.
''Don't you know? The life of a celebrity is indeed tough. Like tonight, I have a birthday to attend. The daughter of the CEO of Flex Clothing is throwing a birthday party, and I don't even want to be there because it's going to be full of fake industry friends, and I have to pretend that I like them. Right, you should come with me, Alison!'' Lucia held Alison's hand when the latter walked over and sat on the couch with her.
''What? No!'' Alison shook her head.
''The CEO of your company is going to be there. Who knows, you might catch his fancy.''
''No, I am not going anywhere I don't belong. You go and enjoy your celebrity life and leave me out of it, Miss Finlay.'' Alison said and stretched her hand to take the glass of water Alonso poured for her.
''You are not fun at all'' Lucia pouted her lips and snatched the water from Alison.
''I agree with you on that, so leave this boring woman alone. I have a lot of things to do before tomorrow.''
''What is happening to tomorrow?''
''Tomorrow is Monday, if Alonso is staying with me, he has to go to school if not I will be sent to court. I also have a meeting with my team leader who doesn't like me and thinks I am a waste of Kenji Motors' resources. I have to run errands and set up meeting areas beforehand.''
''Right, I still have to go to school'' Alonso muttered and turned to look at Lucia.
Lucia sighed and shook her head helplessly. There was nothing they could do. If they didn't want to raise suspicion, then he needed to go to school.
''Okay, I will let you off this time because you have a lot of work to do. I have to go and prepare. I will pick you up tomorrow morning.''
''Why would you pick me up?'' Alison stood up and followed Lucia towards the door.
''To get a chance to meet your CEO. Who knows, we might bump into him when we are leaving...'' Lucia turned and gave Alison a mischievous smirk.
''You are hopeless'' Alison said and looked at her phone. ''I have to set an alarm!''
''I will wake you up tomorrow elder sister.'' Alonso suggested.
''I am a deep sleeper!''
''Just pour a bucket of cold water on her, she will wake up faster than the speed of lightning.'' Lucia teased.
''Hey!'' Alison yelled.
''Goodbye, dear friend!'' Lucia kissed Alison's cheek before going out.
''Be careful there! At the party...'' Alison said when Lucia opened the door to leave.
''Yes, Mama!'' Lucia replied and went out.
''I envy the relationship between you and lady Lucia.'' Alonso said with a smile.
''You envy us?" Alison chuckled. "Take your things to your room and try them on.''
''Yes, elder sister!'' Alonso picked his bags, and hurried to his room.

Danida Hotel.
In the hall where the party was taking place…
A lot of industry people were present at the party. These kind of parties were thrown to show off money and fame. To prove to the world that they were powerful people.
It could be boring sometimes, but Lucia always found a way to make it fun for herself and tonight wasn't different.
When she arrived, she received a lot of attention which she was already used to. Wearing a fish tail shaped blue dress, it was as if she was the star of the party and not the guest.
Lucia greeted the ones she was familiar with and started looking for a certain someone to mess with. When she found him seated with a bored expression, Lucia smirked and got ready to go, but she stopped midway when she saw the birthday girl walking towards that person.
