His Side (2)

Isaac walked towards a luxury store. He will buy a mask that is suitable for his outfit later in the gathering event.

Isaac entered a luxury store. The shop looks luxurious. The shop sells different products like wristwatches, bow ties, neckties, some keychains, bracelets, masks, etc..., the items consisting mostly is for men but some are for women. He thought that he would buy a black mask. Since the gathering event's theme is blue why not buy a mask that will suit everything? One for all. Eh.

The shop owner isn't around and the staff doesn't know that Isaac is the only grandson of the "Houston's" who's the owner of the mall.

He chose a Black Venetian Filigree Mask that covers half of his face (the eyes and nose) and will surely suit his white and black tux. Sure, it's expensive but who cares?. The staff proceeded and arranged his choice.

Because his order was quite long processing, Isaac saw a couch (where no people were sitting but indicates that it's for the customers) in the middle of the store. He went there, took a seat, and sat comfortably.

The people or should I say women can't stop being a fangirl. They couldn't keep their eyes on him. Some even took pictures! The people here are not ashamed to show their affection towards this man! GOOD HEAVENS! Is he the one for me?!, He looked like a Prince, No! More like a King or a God! some people thought.

Isaac didn't mind the stares that they are giving to him. Seems like he's used to it and kept sitting like a boss on the couch. He's patiently waiting while scrolling something on his phone.

***

When his order arrived, someone entered the shop and approached him.

"Mr. Houston. Ma'am Laurel is done picking up her gown. Your grandmother said that you can go back and fetch her now." The man said. Looks like this guy is a bodyguard. Well, he's well built and he wore his uniform.

"Huh?" The guy staff. Confused. That staff never meet the Houston's but he knows the name of the "Houston's" and the name Laurel intrigued him.

"Okay. I'll be there. Thank you for informing me." Isaac thanked the man.

"My pleasure to serve you, Sir." The man then bowed at him.

The people especially the staffs are curious 'bout this Isaac man is. They are slowly approaching them like a gossiper, not a grasshopper lol.

"Uhm is mister Isaac related to the Houston's? The multi-billionaire couple here in the Philippines? As in the mall owners?" Someone dared to asked.

"Ah! You don't know Sir Isaac Houston? Sir is the only grandson of the "Couple Houston's" and the only child of the Houston in the Houston Corporation and yes his grandparents are the owner of this mall." The man or the bodyguard answered.

Seems like this man knows too much. Isaac just shrugged it off since he knows that nobody restricted him from telling it in front of this crowd. It's not like it's a big deal.

Some people gasped. Oh I mean almost all of them gasped. This is a big revelation! Their thoughts: "We meet Houston's only grandson in person! Oh my!" Mentally scream! AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaahhhh!

"Since I already received my orders. I gotta go now." Isaac casually said and tapped the man's shoulder.

The people in the shop except the bodyguard were left dumbfounded. Mouth agape.

For Isaac things like this isn't a big deal but the people who like revelations will make a big fuss about it and surely the day after today's incident will spread like a wildfire especially because there are the media!

How dare they treat Isaac like a mere customer? He's a VIP!!

*****

Isaac left the shop and went to the shop where his Mama Lau would be.

When he reached there (the shop with white walls and cream flooring) he saw that his grandmother is still inside the shop and talking to a lady. He remembered that it's Mrs. Cara Martinez, so he let her grandma take her time and just stood outside the store and get himself busy with his phone.

A minute had passed when three girls walked out of the store and beamed, he heard something that caught his attention.

"The girl is so pretty! She looked like a princess!" Girl 1.

"No, she looked like a Goddess!" Girl 2.

"She's a Goddess!" Girl 3.

"Agree!" Girl 2.

"I think her name is Irene." Girl 1.

"No, it's Isabelle!" Girl 3.

"Yes, I remembered it's Isabelle!" Girl 1.

"Right! I remembered that I saw her face thrice on a magazine with her parents!" Girl 2.

"That's why Mrs. Cara Martinez was there! Now I get it!" Girl 1.

"She's very pretty in every gown she wore!" Girl 2.

"I can't. My eyes are blessed today!" Girl 1.

"I hope that we can see her more in the magazine!" Girl 3.

"Yes! I'm sure that she'll always be on the top page! The face like hers is worthy enough to keep us by being whipped to her!" Girl 1.

"I also hope that she'll make more exposures on media and not let her past hurt her!" Girl 3.

"Yes. Ever since she's a good person and she's very kind! I saw a video of her helping someone!." Girl 1.

"And she doesn't know that someone took a video of her helping!" Girl 2.

"And it went viral!"

"Also the video of her smiling! Oh, my heart!" Girl 1.

"We're a simp! Hahahaha!" Girl 2.

"It's okay to be a simp! It's worth it! It's my first time seeing a beauty like hers in person! I will never forget about this day!" Girl 3.

That's what he heard until the three girls disappeared from his sight.

Suddenly he had the urge to look for Isabelle. He's getting curious about this lady. He's thinking about what she looked like.

He kept thinking that he didn't notice her grandmother that's been staring at him for like a minute!

"Hey, son! What are you thinking?" His grandma blurted out.

"Oh, nothing Ma!" He answered as fast as the lightning.

His grandma didn't ask further and said that they will eat first before they go home.

While walking he's still thinking about the "Isabelle" girl.

He's sure that this girl we'll surely catch everyone's attention.

He can't wait to meet her later at the gathering event.
