Hi, Khalil

Hk9- Followed

SUNNY

“Young lady, would you like anything else?”

I averted my eyes off from the fashion magazine that I was browsing and looked behind my back. Only to be greeted by an unsmiling face of the old man’s secretary. I stared at her and motioned my right hand as if I was asking her to come near me. She walked gracefully towards me with her crimson red stilettos which made a little noise as its heels hit the marble tiled floor of the shop.

“Is it still on his tab?” I asked as soon as she leaned her head closer to my face. Close enough to let me whisper on her ears. Before she could even answer my question, Anais- the little witch appeared in front of us wearing an attention-seeker kind of outfit.

Who’s in their right mind to wear a freaking neon pink top and neon green pants in broad daylight? Woah, don’t be dumb Sunny. She’s not in her right state of mind.

“Hey! Sasha, can’t you ask my grandfather why I can’t I use my card properly?” She asked, gathering some attention from the other people present inside the clothing shop with her awful squeaky voice. Instead of feeling embarrassed, she smiled and waved at them as if she’s someone famous. I gracefully stood up and sat on a couch far from where they were standing. Then, I covered my face with the magazine that I randomly picked out of the nearby table. Acting busy.

“Oh my gosh! Sasha, can’t you just text my grandfather!? Right now.” I mentally facepalmed because of the scene that Anais kept on making. People started to stare and to gossip because of their ignominious display of stupidity.

Maybe, I’ll just watch them for a bit even though I can’t properly hear Sasha’s responses.

“You know what, you are so useless.” With that, Anais stormed out of the store like an annoyed four-year-old child that wasn’t pampered well by her parents.

When I’m already sure that she was not coming back, I approached Sasha with two floral dresses in my hands and acted as if I did not notice their little drama earlier. I smiled sweetly and hand her the dresses that I was holding.

“Don’t worry, I will pay for these two dresses.” I spoke.

She put the stuffs that we bought over the counter and took a card out from the inner pocket of her stylish black single breasted four buttoned coat.

“Ma’am, would you pay with cash or card?”

I immediately took out my classic black Chanel purse to get a couple of blue bills to pay for my dresses.

“The two floral dresses will be paid by a different tab.” I gazed at the woman on the payment desk and hand over my cash but Sasha interrupted me.

“We’ll pay with a card. Make sure to wrap these floral dresses with the white A-line dress and silver stilettos. As for the remaining, wrap them in a separate paper bag.” She gave them the black card that she was holding and moved my hands away from the counter. Making me move away from the cashier desk.

Thereafter, Sasha gave me one of the paper bags and handed the others to Alberto which was standing beside the white Tesla Roadster that the family owned. He grabbed all the paper bags from Sasha and placed them at the front passenger seat. Then, opened the car’s door for me. Before we could go, I saw Sasha gave him a small flash drive and smiled at him which I think as a sign of her thanks to Alberto.

“Send her to her house safely.”

As we reached the gateway which acts a transit from the city to our province the flow of traffic slowed for about five times greater than earlier. I brought out my phone from my purse since I can’t talk to Alberto because he was hired to be like that. To only talk when he was asked to or when he was commanded by that old man and his associates.

I turned on my mobile data connection and opened up my browser. Only to be greeted by the usual large printed name of the browser and its search bar under it. Without a lot of thought, I searched for my go-to site which is the ‘Click’ and accessed on the website.

I kept on scrolling down in the notifications and found a familiar username. It was the stranger that I was talking to yesterday. Out of my curiosity, I clicked the notification that shows his name.

KhxHal changed his profile picture.

I instantly laughed when I saw a cute picture of him. His face is kind of blurry. Hence, his small pout was obvious while his dark wavy hair cascades down on top of his olive skin. The picture is not clear but I am sure that his brown hoodie fits him well like it’s perfectly made for him.

Did I just say cute?

Oh, Sunny. Did you lose your mind like Anais?

I insensibly scratched my head out of frustration earning a sigh from Alberto.

“Young lady, is there something wrong?”

I looked at him through the rear-view mirror and just shook my head because of embarrassment. After he returned his focus in driving, I accidentally deleted some of the messages that I had received which made me see messages from a certain person.

Yes, messages. Chat messages from KhxHal.

KhxHal: This is my Igram account. If you wanted to talk to me more, follow me so that I can get notified with your chat messages.

KhxHal: Tell me when you have already followed me.

As soon as I finished reading his chat messages, I hurriedly logged in to my Igram account and searched for his account. The moment his name loaded on my search bar, a picture of him in his casual white shirt and black go-to blazer greeted me. I love that he matched his top with grey trousers and he paired his outfit with a white air force shoe. I checked him out for a while and I can say that he is quite fashionable. Casual yet trendy.

After checking him out for a while, I decided to follow him and chatted him in the Click.
