Christina patted away the dust from her dress and turned to Robin.“You met your friend after so long, but still, you don’t seem too happy about it, why?” she grunted.Robin took off his glasses and sighs.“The behavior you did with me previously, why do you think I’ll be happy to see you?”.“Things would have been different if you tried to stay my friend just like always then none of it would have turned out like this.”“You ruined our relationship,” with the last sentence he clenched onto the hem of his shirt tightly.“You just, ruined everything.”Christina’s eyes widened in shock.

Other shops will not accept last-minute orders which Is why we came here to you.”“If you also refuse us, where will we go?”.“And why should I worry about it?” the old woman retorted.“You came here of your own will. We didn’t beg you to come here. Then it’s your concern to think about how you’ll be able to get your order without any problems at all. We are not here to think about it, are we?”.Lucy stopped Henry.“Come here.”“Excuse us for a minute.” She said to the old lady then took Henry a bit away from there.“What’s wrong?”.“Don’t ask me what’s wrong?”.“Why do you want to piss her off?”.“If she gets angry she won’t take the order.”“Yeah, but the way she’s acting with us, is not alright as well you know?”.“How can we let her off when we understand she is wrong?”.“That I can see as well.

If she does need help, then help her out. Can’t help it, we can work it out for tonight, can’t we?”.The old woman thought about it for a second before replying, “if you are insisting so much….then alright.”“But, you have to work hard the same amount I’ll be working.”“Yeah, I understand.”“I’ll work hard.”“Thanks.”“You heard it, girl.” She turns to Lucy with a smile.“Your order is placed.
