Laquan folds his arms on his chest and watched as the boys moved around the room,picked up a cloth and came to place it on his body,then shook or nod their heads and goes off again to find a new one or another one to add. Quan stared down at the bench. They've picked up five clothes already. "You must be feeling anxious,young master. Don't worry,this is definitely not you squandering your cash. I heard clothes are good treasures too."Christine chimed. Laquan smiled back at her. They are going to get thrown out of the shop pretty soon. The boys added three clothes and that summed it up. The man came to measure him,with one of his boys recording his measurements on a book. He also picked the silk he wants the man to use in making the dress. Finally,they were done and it was time to give them money. But, "Don't you have shoes?. I think he should get two or three shoes also."Christine suggested. "We don't sell shoes here. But,if you don't mind,my boy could run down to m
Laquan cleared his throat and look sideways. Christine puffed out. "Eh?. Are you paying or not?"the man asked, impatiently. "Your clothes are beautiful. Let's talk about how good your silks are also. However,I don't think it would be fair if we are the only one to sight these beautiful dresses. Everyone here in Edinburgh has to see this masterpiece. How about you hang it outside?,like an artwork?. I don't think these robes should be worn. For justice's sake,let it be discovered by people."Christine expounded with a grin. The men stared at her with expressionless faces. She bats her lashes fastly. ... Ten minutes later. .. Christine washed the plates, sluggishly,with Laquan rinsing them in the water. "I only got to know that your title as a scholar is nothing but an empty title."she huffed. "They weren't even willing to listen to us. Ugh! We can buy their entire shop!"she gritted. She turned her head sharply to face Quan. "You are at fault also! Why didn't you said
"Okay. This is not funny anymore,miss Dora."Oscar's brows quirked up in awe. "Grandboss said he was fine. Also,why are you accusing me wrongly?" Dora chuckled, lopsidedly,before spranging up from the chair. "He is in coma; Isn't that artificial death?"she scoffed. "Wow,can you be more mean?. He was once your husband."Oscar scoffed. "Fake husband,you mean."she rolled her eyes. "Alright,sick brother. Take care, hun?. I belief I've accompanied you enough."she slapped his back gently. "Even though I didn't asked you to do that,i will still say 'thank you' "he nodded. Teodora let's out a scoff before leaving the ward. ~ Christine walked ahead of Laquan with her hands locked together on her chest. "Stop."Quan ordered. She snorted and halted in her steps. She spun around with clenched cheeks. "Let's get some candy."he said with a smile. "No need,master. I don't think I am ready for another round of washing plates."she retorted. Quan stepped closer to the shop and purchased two
Sanchez's line rang for the third time. Britney bit her lower lip and placed her hand on the desk. The line beeped. "Hello?,Mr Sanchez. This is Britney."she spoke into the phone. "Miss Britney?. How do you do?"he cooed. "Not bad. I..have a question to ask you, Sanchez. That's if you do not mind."Britney breathed out. "Sure,I do not. I will give you the answer if I have one." "I met with miss Stephanie today. She gave me this blue vial. I am not so sure about it. Do you have any idea what this is about?"she raised a brow. "Stephanie didn't gave you any explanation?" "She only told me I had to take the contents in it." "Hm. It's nothing peculiar. You can choose whether to take it or not also. Please, disregard Stephanie's words."Sanchez responded. "But,if you are thirsty,you can take a sip out of it. Trust me,the taste would take you to paradise."he chuckled. Britney's brows furrowed up in discombobulation. Paradise?. She scoffed lowly before uttering, "Thanks for respondi
"Cheer up,cheer up! Let's forget about the betting thingy."Dora laughed. Oscar released a breath with an eyes roll. "By the way,is there not anything to drink here?"she glanced around the room. "Of course,there is. You can come drink this water bag."Oscar pointed up to the bag connected to his drip. Dora turned to him with a glare. "You shitting me?."she scoffed. "I really need something to burn my throat."she faced her laptop, wrapping her hands around her neck. "Drink hot water then." "Hot water?. Do I look like a woman that just delivered a baby and that would need an hot water to recuperate better?"Dora scoffed. "You do look like one. I was about to ask if it was a female you gave birth to or a male."Oscar teased. Dora bursted into laughter. She stopped laughing after some seconds, pulling up a frown on her face. "You wanna die?"she gritted out. "You will kill someone that's on the sick bed?"Oscar perked his brows up. "Have you forgotten I am a mafia?. I would act law
"Oof! What was that?"Dora slapped her right ear. "What the hell in heaven's name is a bee doing in here?"she groaned as the bee hummed around her ears. "I think you're getting 'called back'."Oscar mouthed. "What the heck is that?"she looked at him. "You're traveling to another place. It could be to the future and it could be to the past."he remarked,vaguely. Dora stared intently at him before letting out a scoff. "Quit bluffing. This is not the first time a be.." "That means you exist in another world."Oscar cuts in. Dora pushed her eyes in before smacking her lips. "Let's just watch the videos."she casted him a weird look. ## Laquan's eyes spreads out in surprise. What is Dora doing there?. Is she here to take him back to the future?. Oh,no. He do not think that's the right time for him to go. She got to where he was and shoved her palm up in the air. "Miss me?"she giggled. Quan stared at her hand before poking it with his finger. Is this real?. He scoffed and blink
.. Morning. ** "Dorothy has disappeared?"Quan repeated,with furrowed brows. "Yes,Kim. Do you have any idea where she could be?"his mother questioned, obviously perturbed. "I..I.."Laquan stuttered. "Oh,tell me,Kim! Tell me if you know where she is. She left a note that she was leaving and we shouldn't look for her. She clearly didn't went back to her marital home."she grabbed his hand in her's. Her eyes were already glazed with tears. "Mother,do not cry. Dorothy is a grown up woman so definitely,she knows how to tell white apart from black."he cajoled. She left his hand and breathed out. Tears rolled down her eyes. "No. She is only a woman."she sniffed. "Do.. Dorothy shouldn't just leave like that. She is a woman,where would she go! We don't have many relatives here. The few we have are unknown to her. Do.."she wheezed. Quan sucked a breath in. For fvck sake,he didn't come back to the past to witness such a dramatic event. Where could Dora have ran to?. Damn! He
Laquan's heart stopped beating. Dorothy looked at his direction then stared at him, fiercely. A smirk appeared on her lips. "Can you support what you're saying with facts?"a woman demanded. Dorothy took her eyes back to the crowd. "Everyone, relax. What's with the hot blood?. This is a fiction,init?. In this story,i want to make Kim a time traveller. He traveled to the future. What do you all say?"she chuckled. The people seems to calm down. Quan scrunched up his nose. He thought his cover was blown up. "That doesn't seem bad! Let's hear about it!"a man exclaimed. "No. I suddenly don't feel like narrating the story."she snorts, sparing Laquan a stare. "Why?" "Come on." The crowd grunted. "Well,our male lead is here. Having him around while narrating his story would be boring."Dorothy responded. They all turned to look at Quan and gasps. "Scholar Kim!!"they shrilled. Laquan typically rolled his eyes inwardly. What's so good about Kim Anyways?. The women all came to
