*BARBIE HEAVENWARD POV*
“What took you so long?”
Ma’am Denice immediately met me and helped me display back the mannequins.
“I am sorry Ma’am Denice. As I was about to leave, I noticed that one of the mannequin's clothes was a bit unmatched so I changed it.” Wow, I really lied. If Ma’am Denice only knew what I was doing in the store room just now, she would certainly scold me and punished me again for slacking off.
“What are you smiling?”
I flinched, “Huh? Smiling? Me, no. I am not!”
Ma’am Denice smirked, “It looks like you are thinking again with your Mr. Mask Man.”
“Ma’am Denice, don't tease me. There are a lot of customers who can hear you. It's embarrassing.”
“It is good that you know that we have a lot of customers. Hurry and go back to your area.”
“Yes, ma’am Denice.” I bowed at her.
She nodded, “Okay, I am going back to my office. I have some paperwork I need to handle right now. Remember to look pleasing to the customer and assist them well.”
“Yes. Don't worry.”
Just as Ma’am Denice turned around and left, Angelo whispered, “Hmm, Barbie, you are becoming a liar now. Tsk. Tsk.”
I pouted at him, “It's all because of you, otherwise why would I lie? Unless you want to get exposed.”
“Then I should thank you for covering up for me.”
“That's more I like it. Okay, let's stop chatting. I am going to my area now. I'll eave you here.”
“You heartless woman. Okay, go!” Angelo acted angry which only added to his cuteness in my eyes.
Just as I took two steps to walk away, a loud arrogant female voice echoed inside the shop. “Oh my God, I thought my eyes were just playing me. It turns out, I am really seeing my good niece today and Oh God, she is even working here.”
I turned to face her but I remained calmly. Although I was still angry about how she mistreated me and father, I could not let her ruin my life again and my work. No matter how she treated me, since she was my father's sister, I would hold back my anger.
“Aunt Lucy, long time no see. But, this early morning, what are you doing here?” I asked politely.
“Aiyo? My niece can even talk to me now?” Aunt Lucy walked around me and observed me, “The uniform looks good and expensive but it's a pity, it doesn't suit you. My good niece, why don't you strip it down.”
The slitting sound of my blouse, made the customers closed to us turn their head to watch.
I didn't manage to hold my scream as she suddenly tore the side of my blouse. I quickly covered my side, with my eyes uncontrollably shed tears, “Aunt, what are you doing?”
“You better go away from me. This shop is great and a trash slut like you doesn't suit to step here.”
“Stop calling me slut. I am not slut. Aunt, why are you so cruel?” I glanced around and saw many pairs of eyes watching and gossiping about me, “Aunt, why do you need to humiliate me in front of many customers?”
“Pooh! Pooh! Don't call me Aunt, it sounds disgusting from your mouth.”
“Please Aunt, I have already left your house and shop. What else do you want? Can you please let me live a good simple life?”
