Narration: the car drove into the parking lot of the mall and came to a stop. Marcus and Sylvia exits the car and the driver follows suit.

Sylvia: Didn't know this was a general shopping. What are you getting for him?

Marcus: Absolutely nothing.

Sylvia: Then why doesn't he just stay in the car?

Marcus: Well, someone has to carry the bags and were you not the same person who complained about his staying in the car over at the restaurant?

Sylvia: Let him stay behind and relax. He has done enough driving us here. I will carry the bags.

Narration: Marcus shrugs and turns to the driver who nods and gets back into the car.

Sylvia: So where to now?

Marcus: We go to the women's section and go get you some decent clothing.

Sylvia: Excuse me but my dressing is decent enough. You have it in mind that all these would only be seen when I am at work.

Marcus: Don't worry, you will be at work anytime you are with me.

Narration: Sylvia makes a grumbling sound and is led into the mall by Marcus who headed straight for the designers' women collection.

Sylvia: Don't you think that designer's is a little bit too much?

Marcus: Once you have the money, designers would feel like old fashion to you.

Sylvia: I see that. But there is no way that I will putting on designers just because you ask me to.

Marcus: Fine, pick the clothes that you want and I will decide whether I like them or not.

Narration: Sylvia nods and walk out of the designer's women collection followed by Marcus. She begins to select clothes and show them to Marcus who either nods or shakes his head whether he is being shown the clothes.

Sabrina: Sylvia! Is that really you?

Narration: Sylvia turned her head towards the voice.

Sylvia: Oh my God, Sabrina! It is so nice to meet you.

Narration: Sylvia walks up to a blond lady and hugs her.

Sylvia: Wow, it has been a very long time since I saw you. I see you came shopping.

Sabrina: Partially, your brother brought me here. he is being sweet lately.

Sylvia: I wish; we have been having a few feuds lately.

Sabrina: I know. He keeps on ranting about how you are into your boss and how you guys hang out a lot together. He even said that he took you to a bar.

Sylvia: My brother has a very big definition of misunderstanding. My boss gave me the post of personal assistant meaning…

Sabrina: It means you will be moving in with him?

Sylvia: How exactly did you know? I haven't told anyone.

Sabrina: You don't have, being a personal assistant means being there at all times even in his home. Is that why you came shopping?

Sylvia: Nope, I came because my boss decided that I don't dress as classy as he wants the world to see me as his PA so I came shopping to refresh my wardrobe.

Sabrina: Maybe that is why your brother is over reacting; you know he keeps telling how grateful he is to have someone like you as a sister and about the times that he would have been crap without you; maybe he just doesn't want you out of his life.

Sylvia: Right, and he can't tell me this himself because?

Sabrina: Because he is a guy. They really find it hard to release their feelings.

Marcus: Emm, ladies. I suppose you guys haven't met in ages but this is taking too long.

Sabrina: Who is the loser?

Sylvia: Sabrina I forget to tell you that I came shopping with my boss. He came to pick the clothes he would like me to wear.

Sabrina: Oh My God, I am so sorry. I didn't realize.

Sylvia: Sabrina this is Marcus Silverdore, the CEO of Marc's industries. Marcus this is Sabrina, my brother's girlfriend.

Marcus: Sabrina, it is a pleasure to see someone that Ethan is interested in.

Narration: Sabrina chuckles and suddenly Ethan walks out from behind a stand and sees Marcus shaking Sabrina's hand.

Ethan: Excuse me Mr. Marcus, I see you are done with my sister and are here for something else of mine.

Sylvia: Ethan, that was rude… even for you.

Ethan: I suppose not.

Marcus: Nice to see you too Mr. Ethan. Sabrina and I were just getting acquainted with each other.

Ethan: I rather not. So you both are here for another date or what? I don't suppose that you brought him to get some clothes for you?

Sylvia: Ethan, I don't know what has come over you the past few days but you need to come back to your senses.

Ethan: Last I checked, I wasn't the one hooking up with my boss.

Sabrina: Ethan, how can you say something like that about your own sister?

Ethan: As long as it is the truth, I don't really care.

Sabrina: All right boy, let's go. Com'on, let's go.

Narration: Ethan stormed off and Sabrina looked at Sylvia whose eyes were blistering in tears.

Sabrina: I am so sorry; I am pretty sure that he didn't mean it. Sorry.

Sylvia: You don't have to apologize for his actions. And I am pretty sure that he meant every word. Do you think you can stop by our place for dinner tonight?

Sabrina: I will love to and I will talk to him.

Narration: Sabrina walks away after Ethan and Marcus hands falls on Sylvia.

Marcus: You know, that Sabrina was right; Ethan didn't mean all those things he said. He must have been frustrated but don't worry he will come around.

Sylvia: Wow and here was I thinking that you are a very cold person to deal with. Didn't realize that you cared though.

Marcus: Don't get used to that side of me. It does not last long.

Sylvia: Well, it should. Makes you seem human and not android.

Narration: Sylvia wipes her eye and returns to pick clothes.

Narration: After minutes of wandering the mall, they finally walk to the counter and Marcus pays for everything that she had picked. They walk out of the mall and heads towards the car.

Sylvia: So where to next?

Marcus: How about I go drop you home? It is almost time to prepare dinner.
