Episode 8: An Unexpected Visitor


Lily walked to the shop that day later than usual. Earlier that morning, she had been hesitating whether she should go or not as she woke up and laid face down on her pillow. She didn’t feel like going now that the moron knew where she worked. But there were a lot of cupcake orders, Veronica would be furious if she didn’t come. So by 12 noon, she finally decided to go to the shop instead. She would face whatever consequences waiting for her.

Lily was pretty sure she would find two or more black-suited men waiting for her in front of the shop once she arrived, and they would force her in a car and ask for the eighty thousand dollars, but she would say she didn’t have the money so they would drive her to somewhere isolated and beat her to death. Or maybe even better, the moron would appear and shoot her on her head. Very nice, she thought with a frown.

However, she was very wrong. Well, not really. There were no black-suited men wearing sunglasses waiting in front of the shop ready to jump at her, but there was someone else instead. The man leaned on the display window, crossing his firm arms over his chest and looking very stern indeed. It was Alex. As she approached near him, he raised his head and looked towards her.

“What took you so long? I’ve been waiting for hours!” He snapped.

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

“Since you’ve agreed to become my girlfriend, there’re some things I need to discuss with you and that I want you to do.”

Lily tried hard to digest Alex’s words. She didn’t remember agreeing anything yesterday.

“Hey, since when did I agree to become your girlfriend?!”

“Yesterday.”

“No I didn’t!”

“Yes you did! Come on you’re wasting my time.” He replied and quickly grabbed her wrists and started walking towards his car. It wasn’t the red Jaguar this time, but another brand sports car that Lily didn’t recognize. Lily gasped in astonishment.

“Hey, moron, let me go! What are you trying to do?! I have to work, you know.” She jerked her hands free from his grip and stopped dead behind him. Alex turned around to face her.

“You come to work at noon? You’re such a slowpoke aren’t you? Well, you’re late, miss. I already had somebody else take over your work today and Veronica seemed happier with her around. You, on the other hand, will have to come with me today.”

This was too much for Lily to churn in several seconds. As she stood speechless on her spot trying to think of something to say, Alex once again grabbed her arm and pulled her into his car. He started his car and they were already on their way to somewhere-Alex-was-taking-them.

“Listen here, lady. Because now you’re officially my girlfriend, so you need to listen to everything I tell you. First things first, we’ll start with your appearance. I don’t want to bring you to any of my friend’s parties with you looking sloppy and messy like this.” Alex said bluntly. Lily was, however, still in her shocked mode. She didn’t take any notice of what Alex was saying.

“Hey, woman, I’m talking to you!” Alex snapped as he nudged Lily’s head sharply. Lily came back to her senses and looked towards him.

“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?! STOP THE CAR, RIGHT THIS INSTANCE!!” Lily yelled and tried to open the car door. However it was locked in some way that she couldn’t open them manually. Even the windows couldn’t be wheeled down. When she realized that she couldn’t get out of the car by jumping out of it, she turned to face Alex and clutched her fist tightly.

“Stop the car, you moron!”

“I’m not going to stop the car and you should stop calling me that!”

“Where are you taking me?!”

“To the mall.”

Lily felt a little surprised with his answer. She was expecting him to take her to an abandoned warehouse and grill her to death or something. It seemed that she was wrong again this time. But still, she had been forced into a car and taken to a place without her own will, anyway. At least her prediction wasn’t entirely incorrect.
