As Henry turned down Irene's street, he slowed the car, peering ahead in thought. If he took her directly home, there would be questions from his mother about why he took long. He pressed on the brake. "I'll let you out here, if that's alright?" he said to Irene.She studied him curiously but didn't protest. Henry pulled over to the side of the road and put the car in park. Irene reached for the door handle but paused, glancing back at him. "Aren't you coming up?" Henry tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. "I just need to go somewhere." Irene just nodded in understanding. "Alright then. See you." With that, she climbed out and shut the door, raising a hand in farewell as Henry pulled away from the side of the road.He watched in the rearview mirror as she strode down the sidewalk toward home, turning back to go to his mother's beauty store.*As Henry turned the corner onto a familiar street, Starry Cosmetics came into view - its large glass windows gleaming in the afternoon su

As Henry followed Priscilla down the hallway, a flash of color ahead caught his eye. He paused, doing a double take. Surely it couldn't be...Even from a distance, there was no mistaking Clara's vivid purple jacket and crimson hair. She sat across from a young woman who could only be her cousin Martha. Their cart was piled high with cosmetics and tools in this high-class section. Henry frowned at it. When did she have such money to afford products at Starry Cosmetics? Of course, Henry knew that Clara was rich, but definitely not to this extent....especially now that her family business keeps perishing. Or did she use up her life savings?Curious, Henry turned to Susan. "What brings Clara and her cousin sister here today? I thought you would have shown the security guards their pictures not to let them into your store. That is what you should have done, mum."She averted her eyes from his gaze, knowing she made that mistake, and had to correct it. With a sigh, she walked past him towar

Henry pushed open the heavy glass doors, as a blast of chilled air that greeted him and Priscilla as they stepped into ReLock Plaza. It was a luxury boutique that held high-class, designer outfits and were patronized by prestigious women.Bright, shining displays and mannequins dressed in the latest fashions stretched as far as the eye could see down the long hallway. Priscilla tugged at Henry. "Come on, let's check out that accessories boutique first." She pulled him past glass boxes filled with lots of expensive jewelry like diamonds, sapphires, and gold.Henry glanced at them, feeling uncertain. Susan had a vault full of jewelry that she never wore. She would appreciate something more special and meaningful.Inside the accessories store, there were lines of handbags, scarves, and sunglasses calling out to Henry.Priscilla ran her hands over the smooth leather and silk, picking out a few things to show Henry. He gazed at all the clothes but couldn't see a suitable one to select. T

"I think we should come down and check what's wrong" Priscilla muttered as Henry can down from the car, he walked towards his fuel tank to check if it's truly finished as soon as he opened he sighed. He opened his car boot and brought a keg of fuel then began it into the fuel tank, when he was done he emptied the keg and threw it inside the car boot, he wondered why she didn't come down with him when she literally said that they should go check the what's wrong. He was about going to the front when he noticed something really suspicious, he turned his back as he heard little noises coming from her side and unfortunately someone pointed a gun at him.He jerked immediately, he looked furious, putting on a scary face as he gave Henry a signal to enter the backseat of the car. Henry slowly was opening the door when he then heard a huge blow sound, it was coming from his back as he turns back as saw Priscilla holding a large stone in her hand. "Henry we need to leave I can smell them c

"what is it?" He asked as he was really curious why she was smiling this much."He decided to give back the money, so I re draw the case...see" She said as she showed me the check, I opened my eyes wide as clapped my hands not too loud.Finally her dreams came to pass, he never really thought that he was going to give her back the money, so it was so surprising of him.He could understand how happy she looked because she never expected it to be too soon, because Sage was ready to fight with the case with his life. "I can see that you are really happy" He muttered with a grin as she nods her head. "I mean no one knew he was going to give me back this sudden" She said as the both of them began to walk to the hallway of their department."But how did you get all this?" He asked."Oh, yesterday I was called by the lawyer, and when I reached there he handed over the cheque to me and he also apologized to me, he told me to be careful next time" She explained to him as Henry nods his hea
