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
"Nothing," Henry scoffed, shaking his head dismissively. He could feel her gaze on him, but he refused to acknowledge it."I understand what you're trying to say," she said calmly, "but you're mistaken. He had a wife, and he loved her dearly. Sadly, she passed away in a tragic car crash."His eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Woah, why does it seem like everyone these days is dying in car crashes?" Susan shrugged, her eyes scanning the room anxiously. She couldn't help but feel on edge. "I don't know," she replied. "And speaking of which, where is Priscilla?" Her gaze shifted to the space behind him, searching for any sign of her presence.She spotted her outside the door. Henry didn't even realize she was there all the while.Susan extended an inviting smile. "Don't tell me you've been standing there, love. Please, come in," she said warmly, gesturing for Priscilla to enter. Priscilla lowered her head in a humble bow and stepped inside. "I didn't want to interrupt your conversation wit
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
Immediately he then put on a Straight face, as he placed the heels back but she stopped him."Hey, I can pay for this and you will lose your job how about that?" Henry muttered as the sales man smirked."Is this how to dress to a well respected jewelry store? Like someone who's gonna run a bank for real? And I think your girlfriend whatsoever should have some manners or else" "Or else what dude?" She frowned her face and began coming closer to him, she was about to punch him on the face when Henry stopped her from further going closer to him.He could clearly see how the sales person looked surprised, he shook his head looking at her. "Take up this heels Mr Man and package it, then follow us to the counter, how about that?" Henry folded his hands on his chest as he said then waited for him to respond then he nodded his head.Henry really didn't know what was in his mind that he agreed, he was thinking that maybe, he would ignore them.After he was done packaging it, he began to foll
"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
Henry scoffed at the question, he wondered why she will even ask that kind of question."I don't have one, why asking?" She smiled within her as she shook her head, she then took the plates back to the kitchen as she washes them one by one. The main reason she was brought here was to make sure that he wasn't lonely at home and also to train which she was doing. She felt that he was a nice person who got hurt by the people he loved. When she was done she left the kitchen and didn't meet him at the dinning again, she then went upstairs as she peeped in his room, he saw him on his computer but doesn't know what he was doing so she concluded that he was working.She went straight to her room as she take a shower and lay on the bed, she has nothing to do again again than to sleep. The next day, she was already dressed for the Gym, she woke early around 6am , when she left her room and went downstairs she saw Henry already sitting down on the couch like he was waiting for her. She gaze
"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
"I didn't come here because of you though, I never thought i will meet you here, I came here because I was hungry so as a former worker won't you atleast purchase a meal for me?" Henry knows what he was doing by asking that question, he wanted to test him whether what he was saying to him is the truth or not. No one who knows him as Henry Flakes will ever believed that he can even purchase a restaurant meal, he scoffed as he turned his back, going to the Counter. "How much does a chicken tender and a grilled cheese sandwiches cost?" He asked the lady at his front as she handed over the list of foods and the prices. As he looked into them he could see that chicken tender costs three hundred dollars and Grilled cheese sandwiches costs four hundred dollars, he brought out his card and paid for the meal.He stood there as he watched Seth sitting down comfortably on his sit, then she handed over the train to him as he took it to his table and dropped it. "Enjoy your day" Henry smile
