Like the last time she had visited this salon , the architecture and interior of the building still fascintes her and she was getting to learn more of the structure since she herself wants to be an architect : seeing buildings and learning more of their structure and how they manage to stand tall and balance is where she starts her lessons of learning more about the designs of buildings .
The inside of the building is still as chic and as luxurious as before . Gold and white were the blinding colours in the room , with the employees that are draped in black outfits going on with their work .
They end up at the reception , where her mother goes on to boast of her wealth once the receptionist had gave her a look of wonderment over the surname Woods . Technically her husband's wealth but who cares because once people hear the surname 'Woods' they are blinded by he dollar signs and they try to please or get acquainted with their mother or the two daughters of the well-known businessman Mr Woods .
While her mother spoke and fake laughed with the reception that she will soon talk bad about after they are many steps away from the table , Mila's eyes roam around the place . She was too familiar with the place , but whenever they come here , she doesn't have the time to silently gaze at the interior because someone or some people soon disturb her , just like now , as her eyes lock with the woman dressed as a hippie .
The girl's dull brown eyes were already on Mila before she could even swipe her eyes around the room and eventually land on her but she had felt the feeling of someone watching her . The woman stood next to paintings that she seemed to have been hanging on the walls .
"Mrs Woods !" Mila pulls back her gaze from the woman as she turns to notice Leornado , the manager of this salon who had just shouted after her mother . The man had his painted hands clasped on his hands as he smiles at her mother ," I thought you would never come . I have got the best employees for you . They will take care of..." Leonardo's voice drifted to the background as Mila glanced back at the woman who's back was now facing hers . Why is she drawn to the woman ? She could only question herself . Could it be her sense of style ?
"Oh that is Wren , she is an artist ." Mila turns to look at Leonardo who waves his hands in the air while saying ," She paints this wonderful paintings . Whatever you want and picture in that fantastical mind of yours , she will paint. But she isn't just a artist ," Leonardo paused and stood near Mila as he detailed her ," This one time , one of my loyal clients , Mrs Barton , came to the shop and it happens Wren is here to deliver some of our paintings and mind you by that time Mrs Barton wasn't in dire need of a therapeutic manicure . The lady was just sad and wanted to vent . Well , you know us , ladies , we sit down and listen and have a little talk . Well Wren was there and has happened to hear about Mrs Barton's problems and guess what out little Wren did . She came over and told the lady that she shouldn't worry much and should go buy this type of herbs ," Leornado waved his hand dramatically and curled his lips ," I forgot the names of the herbs . She told Mrs Barton what to do with the herbs . You know how the noble ladies are , they never believed her and just offered Wren some strange looks , but guess what . Mrs Barton came the next day and was over the moon that her husband no longer wants to take a second wife anymore. "
Mila no longer listened to Leonard who went on to talk off how Mrs Barton was so happy and how the ladies were now starting to search for Wren , seeking the help she have Mrs Barton . She soon turns to Leonardo and she questions ," Is she a fortune teller ?" Mila wanted to confirm because she remembered she and her friends were extremely drunk that day that they ended up lost on the other side of the town with Brian and the couple of guys they were with . They were so unlucky that the moment they realised they're lost , the car broke down and stopped in the middle of the woods .
She and the girls were so drunk that they made the party happen right there in the forest while Brian was trying to fix his car . Reality hadn't yet sunk in that night until a woman came due to their noise and had seen their broken down car and has then invited them over to stay a night at her house , fearing for the girls safety . Later that night, they had found out that the woman is a fortune teller and Victoria had drunkly asked the woman if she could detect if she would pass or fail the semester . They were so silly that day and Mila actually misses those times when this mysterious gifter hadn't yet appeared in her life . When her life was all bliss and she was a free spirited girl , other than her mother breathing on her neck ; she lived and breathed freely .
"No ." Leonardo shook his head but his expression screamed 'i am not sure' while he responded . "I do not think so . Don't fortune tellers have that ball thingy that they de-"
"The quartz ball ." Jasmine corrects Leonardo who nods only before he continues to say ," She is good at it apparently . Determining people's futures , very good at it ." He nod to himself .
"Leonardo ." Charlotte calls out for Leonard and Mila knew her mother was already bored over the topic . Leonardo muttered a yes before he lead the way .
Mila was urged to walk by her mother's slight push but her eyes still trained on the woman hanging the paintings . Why is she so pulled to the woman ?
