___ Shopping Mall ___
" Gina, what do you think about that purple bag? ". Lucy pointed to a cute seashell-like bag at a corner excitedly.
" I think it's great, I love the white crystal designs on it. " Gina walked closer and gazed at the bag admiringly. " Hey Lucy, let's buy this one. I think it looks better, " she added and pointed to another bag that was close to the purple one.
Lucy carefully studied the bag and nodded her head thoughtfully. " Mmmm, I think it looks nice too. "
" Yeah, do you think she will like it?. " Gina took the bag and admired it lovingly.
Lucy folded her hands and pouted grumpily, " Hmph. I don't care, I'm buying this one for myself. " and she snatched the bag and held it close to her chest.
Gina shook her head sympathetically and said, " I didn't know big bro would fall for her, Vivian right?, I remembered how she bullied us when we were kids. "
" She's a sly fox, Hmph and my big bro will never fall for her. " Lucy gripped the bag and strode away while Gina followed her hastily.
" I also think so, how will your perfect brother fall for someone like her, I think he likes my type, young and cute..." Gina cupped her cheeks with a dreamy look and twirled around.
" Tsk tsk tsk, you wish. My big bro is not into little girls so keep dreaming, " Lucy said and stuck out her tongue. " Mmm but you would be a perfect match for my brother, " she said referring to Zach.
Gina shook her head hastily and said, " hehe, no not bro Zach. " she remembered the time she once fell in one of his traps together with Lucy and she shuddered.
Lucy chuckled and they continued shopping.

After some time, they came out of the shopping mall with large bags in their hands and headed towards the parking lot.
" Lucy, isn't the software company close to this place? " Gina said to Lucy who was in the driver's seat.
" Yeah, want us to stop by?. " Lucy's eyes glimmered and she looked at her friend cheerfully.
" Mmm yeah, do you think big bro will be there? " Gina asked expectantly.
" Hm not sure, " Lucy said and remembered the day that she followed her big brother and had to be sent back by his assistant." anyway let's just go and look around. It's been long since I went there, " she added cheerfully.

They soon reached the company and Lucy drove to the car park. They went inside her big brother's private elevator which led them directly to the top floor where her big brother's office was located.
" Wow, Lucy.. Big bro's office area is so huge. " Gina looked around the large area with mouth agape. She noticed the row of cubicles with glass partitions and guessed it might belong to the Secretaries.
" This is small compared to the other companies, come let's go and take a look at his office. " Lucy smiled proudly and grabbed Gina's hands then skipped towards her brother's office.
All the employees greeted them respectfully and one of the secretaries walked to them and politely said, " Young Miss, the CEO's not in the office...."
" Oh is that so, then I'll just look around and go. " Lucy cut her off and cheerfully skipped towards the office door while holding Gina's hands.
The secretary was left baffled. ' she obviously knows that her brother's not here. ' she thought inside and shook her head then went back to her cubicle hoping that the princess would not land into any trouble, remembering what happened one year ago when an employee tried to bully her not knowing that she was the boss's sister and instantly got fired.
Lucy punched her brother's password and the office door instantly opened.
" Wow Lucy, this is so beautiful.. too bad big bro doesn't frequent this place. " Gina looked at the spacious decorations in the office and the glass walls which overlooked the city with amazement.
" I know right. " Lucy giggled and proudly said, " hold your drool girl, wait till you see my brother's suite. "
Gina looked astonished and said excitedly, " where.. where.. where ". She looked around but didn't see any sign of a door.
Lucy smiled mischievously and walked to a corner then pressed somewhere on the white wall and the wall suddenly opened.
Gina's breath hitched and her mouth was wide opened, she slowly walked into the room which looked like a hotel suite, and shouted excitedly, " Lucy!!! Big bro's so rich. " she stared at the suite dreamily and her jaw almost dropped. She looked around the place with amazement and thought how rich this man could be.
" Okay, you've seen enough let's go before big bro comes. " Lucy dragged her out of the suite not wanting her big brother to find them sneaking around in his office.
" Oh wait.., Lucy stop I haven't seen enough. " Gina whined and wiggled her hand.
" No, let's go downstairs and look around. " Lucy said and tried to grab her again, just then her eyes caught something from her big brother's desk. She left Gina's hand and quickly ran towards it then took the white paper in her hands with awe.
" What!!! " she exclaimed, that was obviously her big brother's handwriting but what surprised her is the word that filled the paper.
" Who is Clara?" Gina asked from behind looking puzzled.
Lucy shook her head naively and they instantly stared at each other with wide eyes.
" Is she big brother's girlfriend? " Gina asked perplexedly...
" I don't know. " Lucy stared down at the paper which was filled with the word " Clara " then her face instantly brightened. " If big bro has a girlfriend, does that means he won't have to marry Vivian.? "
" But how comes you didn't know he has a girlfriend, " Gina wondered then gasped and quickly said, " Do you think big bro is hiding it?. "
Lucy nodded her head and held the paper excitedly. " I'm not sure, but I have to find this Clara. Hmph, I won't let big bro marry that fox."
