Habit Of Biting

"What is this commotion?"

The store manager's whole body shuddered when she heard the cold voice questioning her. She pressed a button and the mirror turned into a one-way screen where they had the perfect view of the main area of the store. Seeing the scene before her eyes, her heart almost stopped beating in fear.

She was already sweating since the boss came to the store unannounced. Who knew why Master Xian suddenly lost his way and found himself here on the last day of his holiday? But it really gave her anxiety. And now something like a catfight was about to begin in the store, she really felt scared of Master Xian's ominous temper.

Although Moonlight was just one of the many brands under Shui Conglomerate, everyone knew that it was the most treasured one to Master Xian. And it was understandable as well. After all, Moonlight was founded by Master Xian's late mother. Despite losing everything, Master Xian strived hard to save this one place that he held very dear.

It was not even that shocking that Master Xian would personally come to visit the store. He would often check up the thing himself. But what was really startling was that this time, he asked the store manager to treat him as a customer because he came to buy something. As for what he wanted to buy, he hadn't said a word.

And even before she could be of any help, this whole ruckus began. She knew that Young Miss Xiaye was no good and one of these days, would definitely cause trouble. Who knew this silly girl would choose this very day to cause her a headache!

"I'll go over and see what's wrong," she mustered up the courage to say.

Shui Xian raised his hand and stopped her. Although he could only see the back of Raelle from where he was, however, he felt like it was familiar. He silently watched everything unfold before his eyes. At first, since Raelle was just standing there, he really thought she was a pitiful pushover. However, the way she stood there contradicted with his conjectures. Later, he even got the front row seat to see that young miss Xiaye's face losing color when Raelle's people came to stop her. But none of this really wasn't interesting to him. It had nothing to do with him anyway.

But his expressions finally shifted when he heard the name 'Raelle Xiang'. His eyebrows inconspicuously lifted in pleasant surprise.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to his presence, Raelle continued to do what she was doing. And no, it was not acting like a tyrant. She had long forgotten about the girl who was not taught any etiquette. She wouldn't bicker with a litter girl. She just considered her a girl who wasn't properly taught the decorum and propriety. That's all!

So, she looked at the shop attendant's surprised face and said, "Can you please pack it up? And do it prettily."

The shop attendant hastily nodded her head and with her hands covered in glove, took the pendant and went around to wrap it up for Raelle. While the other shop attendant started cleaning up the counter, Raelle asked her for something else. During this while, the long-forgotten young miss stood up and ran towards Raelle trying to claw at her face.

She was again obstructed by the woman with a solemn countenance.

"How dare you treat me like this? Do you know who my father is?!"

Raelle didn't even spare her a second glance as she said, "Please, do tell me who your father is! I might have to send him a gift in near future..." she took a brief pause before adding, "I think a book on parenting might save him some face in the future."

"You!!" Xiaye was enraged because of Raelle's remarks. "My father is the Mayor. Let me see how you parade around so arrogantly once he hears about this."

Raelle feigned a gasp and looked at Xiaye with eyes wide open. Xiaye felt pleased thinking how Raelle was now gonna beg her for forgiveness. But nothing of the sort happened, because Raelle soon passed her a look that seemed like she was looking at a dancing monkey but this dancing monkey wasn't even able to amuse her!

"I believe there are surveillance cameras in this high-end store?" questioned Raelle and the shop attendant's head bobbed up and down repeatedly. "Then I think this young princess of the Mayor of our city won't mind if I let the whole city see just how the Mayor's precious daughter lacks civility."

Xiaye finally lost her momentum and stared at her vigilantly. "You don't dare!"

"There is nothing that I don't dare to do," replied Raelle in all honesty. "You might have a habit of barking, but I have a habit of biting. And people don't ever forget my bite."

The shop manager heard a soft chuckle and looked at Shui Xian with an aghast look. But Shui Xian coughed to hide the fact that he actually let out a chuckle at Raelle's words. His thoughts were, 'What are you a vampire? Why go around biting people?'

Seeing how intently Shui Xian had been staring at Raelle's back, the shop manager suddenly thought of something and said, "Master Xian, that customer is wearing Dream of Change." She had heard from somewhere that Master Xian had been looking for the pendant 'Dream of Change' for years. But he could never find out who bought the pendant at the auction back then.

And now that it appeared right in their store. How could she not tell Master Xian?

Shui Xian's attention shifted to the shop manager as he asked, "Are you sure?"

"I can't be mistaken about this," replied the shop manager.

Shui Xian looked back in Raelle's direction with a profound look in his eyes. No one could tell what was he thinking about right now. But his unfathomable eyes didn't shift away from Raelle's figure even for a minute.

He was suddenly reminded of what Raelle said to him, 'A match made in heaven.'

Although he could tell she didn't believe in those words herself, however, he had an inconceivable thought at this moment. What if this was really a match made in heaven? What he desperately searched for was right before his eyes now. As if it was meant to be. Now, whether it was that pendant or her, only time could tell what was really meant to be.
