In Hill city, Roger’s days were not as he expected. He felt as if he was stuck somewhere. His business seemed to run downwards.
He felt a force that was pushing his business lower and lower. Was it just his imagination or it was actually happening? Even he hasn’t been able to succeed in finding them till now.
“Master, we still can’t find them.” Roger’s assistant reported.
“How can you not do such a small thing! You aren’t able to find two people huh!” Roger seemed agitated.
“Master, we could ensure that they hadn’t left Hill city or else we will come to know about that.” The assistant was scared to continue any further.
“If you sense even a small moment let me know” Roger ordered.
“Master, how do you know that they’re actually alive?” The assistant was still not convinced that after such a huge fire that broke out in the house, they would still succeed in coming out alive.
“That clip. I’ve seen the clip I got from the police. They both escaped.” Roger punched the desk in front of him and shouted, “Go and keep searching for them. They have the thing that can bring me down in the blink of an eye.”
…
Julien was all bored. “Why don’t they let me do some work as well!” She twisted and turned.
“Sister-in-law” Julien spoke and jumped up. “She’ll definitely not let me be bored like this.”
With this Julien opened the door and bumped into someone.
“Ahh sister, I’m sorry. I was…..”
“Arien, I was thinking about you just now. How about we celebrate” Julien said smiling.
“Celebrate? For what?” Arien was confused.
“Come on Arien let’s go for a shopping. I will be marrying and then go away from you. How I’ll miss you” Julien persuaded Arien as much as she could.
“Ahh Miss Julie, Louis’ house is just half an hour away from Lyle Mansion, you can come here anytime” Devian said with a straight face.
“Leo you’re always so cold!” Julien pouted. “I just wanted to take Arien out for shopping, don’t you think she is tired working”
Why can I imagine so much sparkles coming out of Julien’s eyes!!! Like an anime movie DUH!!!!
“Okay, she actually needs a break!” Devian agreed.
“Yeah, Arien go get ready, were going shopping!” Julien was more than happy.
“What’s going on here?” Mama Lyle came up hearing the people talking.
“Mom, can I take Arien out for shopping, she has been busy preparing for my wedding without a break. I really feel like she need a rest.” Julien said.
“Arien…” Mama Lyle turned to her calling but she was interrupted.
“Mom, there’s still a lot of work to be completed before yesterday night. You can accompany sister for shopping.” Arien said.
Mama Lyle still wanted to let Arien take a break. She has seen how hard Arien has been working, starting from the dress to the decorations. “Child you can go all the other arrangements will be taken care of. Don’t need to worry.”
“Yes, you need to take a break. You can go with sister.” Devian agreed as well.
“Arien, see everyone wants the same, now you can’t deny.” Julien hopped like a child.
“Okay sister” sure enough now she can’t deny!
“Then let’s get ready!” Julien pushed her into her room and then merrily walked back to her room to get ready.
After a while when they were ready to go out Susan came following old Mr Lyle. “Take Susan as well” old Mr Lyle said.
“Grandpa…. We thought of… Susan just came. After such a long journey she needs to take a rest, right?” Julien really didn’t want to take Susan along.
“Take her, she wants to go along” he commanded.
“What’s that bother sister, let’s take Miss Hayes as well. The more the merrier.” Arien didn’t want any conflicts in the family right now so she put forward this.
Even mama Lyle supported the later so Julien had any other way than bringing her along.
Finally they left in whichever car key Devian passed to Arien. Even though Julien knew driving, Arien didn’t want to bother her with the driving after all she was the would-be-bride. How can she let Julien take the task of driving?
So much for who’s gonna drive?!! Quit it already!!!
All the three ladies went for shopping but Susan wasn’t convinced with the fact that Arien had become so dear to the Lyle family. But she was relieved that the head, old Mr Lyle, was still at her favor.
“So where are we going?” Julien asked sitting on the passenger seat.
“Anywhere you say sister.” Arien had no the idea of the good shopping places here.
Susan popped her head up from the back seat “Let’s go the most luxurious brand shop here?” She suggested.
All three then kept quiet, none of them knew what to say.
After a while Julien saw a beautiful dress showcased in a small yet exquisite shop. “Arien let’s stop here”
“Okay” Arien parked the car and then they walked out.
“Such a lowly place” Susan murmured.
“Did you say something?” Both Arien and Julien didn’t hear what she said so she asked but Susan denied.
“No, nothing.” She said and walked forward dejectedly. She wanted to showoff her riches in front of her love rival, Arien.
They walked into the small shop. Both Arien and Julien were fascinated with such maintenance of the shop, it looked small from outside but was rather modern and classy inside. Even Susan who was reluctant to go inside was looking forward for the dresses they’ve kept there.
Julien tried out the dress she liked and even insisted Arien to try the one she chose for her.
Indeed the dress Julien chose for her looked pretty on Arien. So they bought the dresses.
After Arien insisted Susan, she also picked one for herself.
“This colour won’t suit you, Miss” the shop assistant suggested.
But Susan became angry, “Now you’d teach me this?” She glared and added. “Don’t you know I’m the famous actress, Susan Hayes, of New York!”
“Mm… This, I guessed it right, she’s the actress model of New York city.” Arien wondered.
Susan was enraged at such a small thing and she was going on scolding the shop assistant when Arien stood out and spoke, “This colour, indeed, wont suit you Miss Hayes. You can check out other. There are many options.” She suggested.
Julien just stood and observed both of them. “Devian did a great job marrying Arien and not this Susan!” She smiled at her own thoughts.
Arien wasn’t that famous but she had quiet a good name when she worked at Chester’s, Blooms company. She was known, as a designer, by the people in California, who used to be her clients, especially in Victorville.
Luckily….
