The class was fun and really lively.
The only disturbance was Blaire and David's constant fighting. It was really an eyesore.
After the lesson,all the kids went home apart from David,Terrence,Frank,Kay,Blaire and Rory. They all stayed behind,to go the mall.
.....
Once they entered the mall,they saw a boutique.
The place was nice and big so they decided to shop for some clothes there.
The sales attendant greeted them warmly. After,all 6 of them separated into two groups. The boys and the girls.
While looking at some clothes,Rory suddenly said,"I am thinking of opening a gallery and auction my paintings."
Blaire and Kay came to a halt and looked at her.
"Gallery?"They said almost at the same time.
"Yes"Rory nodded at them.
"You can paint?"Kay didn't quite believe. However,she was good at so many things,so if she knew how to paint,she won't be surprised.
"Sure"She took out her phone and showed them a picture of one of her drawings.
"Wow! This is beautiful!"Blaire looked at the painting in awe. It was too beautiful. If she sold this painting,she'd make loads of money.
"But you need to gain influence and popularity."Kay reminded her.
"I know. How do you suggest I do that? I don't know anything about that"Rory pouted her lips. She looked very cute.
"With that face,you can sell anything!"Frank's voice sounded from behind them.
"What are you guys doing here?"Blaire couldn't help but ask coldly.
"To kill you,duh"David replied to her.
"We are in a mall,if you want to disgrace yourselves,go ahead and do so but we are also here"Terrence warned both of them and they sneered at each other.
"Frank is actually right Rory,you can sell anything with that cute face of yours"Kay said while showing David and the boys the picture of Rory's paintings.
"I don't want my face to be the reason why I can sell my paintings"She immediately disagreed with their plans.
With that,they all continued shopping.
"I can help you sell your paintings, anonymously"Terrence told Rory when they were alone.
"How?"She looked at him in askance.
"Open your webpage. It'll be like a site where you post pictures of your paintings,and auction them for whatever amount you want"He pitched his idea to her and she was impressed.
"Nice!"
"So when do you want to start? How do you want it? Do you want to decide on the name for the website?"He bombarded her with so many questions
"First,I want this to be our little secret. Under no circumstance can anyone find out about it. Second, I've already thought of a name. I'll like to call it, 'K and P's gallery. So if you agree to all of my conditions we can be partners."
"I agree!"He said without hesitation.
They decided to talk about it later in the day,so as not arouse suspicions.
She didn't have a specific reason for wanting to keep it a secret,but she didn't want Sammy or anyone to ruin this for her. It's better to be safe than sorry.
....
Sammy entered the mall with her friends dressed up all extravagantly. They went to their regular old boutique to shop.
As soon as the sales attendant saw them,she smiled and her eyes turned to crescent moons. The sales attendant was so happy.
I mean who wouldn't be? Sammy was generous and gave her large tips every time she came there.
"Good afternoon,Miss Devane"The sales attendant greeted them with respect.
"Meera long time"Sammy smiled back.
The sales attendant's name was Meera.
Meera ushered them in and attended to them well.
Sammy and her friends were buying so many things while chatting.
.....
Rory saw a black dress and she liked it. The dress was short and armless. It was a floral dress. She touched the dress and felt the material.
Then she felt someone grab her hand.
"It's mine"The person declared arrogantly.
Rory looked up and saw it was Sammy.
"Okay,you can have it"She let go of the dress and flung Sammy's arm away and walked off.
She liked the dress but she didn't like it enough to buy it.
And she wasn't going to fight with someone like Sammy over a dress. Her mood was sour seeing her here,but she just couldn't leave because of the witch.
However,Sammy was eager to make her leave.
Every dress she liked,she was always there to snatch it.
Rory wandered around the shop feeling irritated by Sammy's childish behaviour.
Then she spotted a tie that looked really nice. It was super nice. It was grey and it reminded her of Danny.
Ever since they got married,she had never bought anything for him,this was going to be her first gift bought with her hard earned money
She walked over and asked the sales attendant,"How much is it?"
"Miss,you really have a good eye,this is the only tie in the world and luckily our shop has it. It's just 5,000"
Not expensive.
Before she said anything she heard an annoying voice.
"Wow,this tie is lovely,I think it would look good on Malcolm"
It was none other than Sammy.
"Too bad,we won't get to see it"Rory said while she told the sales attendant to wrap it up.
"I want to buy it. Wrap it up for me!"Sammy ordered the sales attendant.
"I knew you had a sight problem,but I didn't know it had affected your ears"She mocked Sammy.
"I see it,I like it,I want it,I got it. Wrap it up!"Sammy said again.
She had let her do whatever she wanted. She was to care free. She needed to teach Sammy manners.
"Miss,she clearly likes it,why don't you just let her have it"The sales attendant spoke up.
The sales attendant couldn't help but take Sammy's side. Sammy was a loyal customer and came from a family she couldn't afford to offend.
Rory felt like laughing.
"This is beautiful! I clearly came here first and asked you to wrap it up for me and now you are telling me I should give it up?" Her voice was soft but there was danger in it.
"Rory don't be like this. There are many ties here,why don't you just let me have this one?"Sammy looked at Rory innocently.
"You must be crazy. You expect me to bow my head for you? You are clearly mistaken!"
How can that happen? This murderer! This witch and 2 faced liar was sweet taking her to collect a tie.
"Miss please. Miss Devane is a platinum customer. Please don't put me in a difficult situation" the sales attendant pleaded with Rory.
Sammy had a smug look on her face.
She had snatched everything away from Rory since the day she was born.
Rory couldn't let her have this.
Before she could protest,she heard a voice.
"What kind of customer service do you run that gives some customers special treatment?"She turned around to see a man in a black suit and black eyes.
Her friends also came from behind.
"Mr Evan"The sales attendant greeted him respectfully.
Everyone knew Mr Evan. He was well known in the city as the famous Prince Charming. He was cool but super unapproachable.
