BILLIONAIRE: Lurking in the Dark

12:

As soon as I step inside the store, a saleslady came near me. She was mostly around 5'4 the same height as the girl I saved before. She was wearing a tight skirt over a baby pink uniform. A pretty girl. Good lord she is pretty but she wasn't going in my type radar

My type mostly composed of a short feline eyed girl that had the chubbiest cheeks

Thinking about it, how is that feisty kitten? I hope she went home safely without any assholes trying to get her again. Yet being reminded of her beauty, anyone who sees her would instantly be drawn towards her lovely appearance

I was a sucker for pretty ladies but remembering how she was acting and what she said to me, I mentally scolded myself

Why am I thinking about that rude, selfish, ungrateful, small, cute girl again? She would've forgotten about me now

Lisa stop

We will never meet her again and even if we did she would have forgotten us by now. Why would someone like her even have the tiniest chance of remembering me?

"Good afternoon Miss, I am Nayeon, how can I help you?" I look at the girl with expectation. The years of constant discrimination made me immune to it, albeit, it still gave me ptsd whenever I'm face with the same attitude from different people. But, instead of what I have grown to live with, the girl in front of me was giving me the sweetest smile

It looked genuine and not forced and it made me confused

"I w-would like to buy some c-clothes please" I replied with a stutter and she smiled before guiding me to where I needed to be

Weird

Does she not question why I am wearing a mask? I put on the mask given by Mr. Yang earlier as a got out of the car. Of course, it was weird because people were thinking why someone with ragged clothes was wearing a mask but I needed to conceal my identity

Being in the spot light was better than creating a weakness for my family and putting them in danger

"These are all fine selection of clothes hand made by experts. Would you be kind as to tell me your preference Miss?" Her hands were touching the rack that held a good amount of beautiful clothes

I touch the fabric and it was true that the materials were finely made

It was the first time that I've ever held such clothes in my hands. I have always been wearing clothes that are 5 dollars less. It's the only thing I could afford but standing here right now with all these clothes I can buy in a snap makes me feel weird

My life changed in a blink of an eye.

I was about to answer the kind lady when someone interrupted me

"Nayeon, don't try to act all kind. Do you not see the clothes she is wearing? Its all rag and I bet she doesn't even have the money to buy water and she's wearing a mask as if she is about to rob the place" I looked to my right and saw a blonde woman. She was wearing the thickest makeup I've ever seen. Her skirt was too short and she was deliberately showing off her cleavage

Slut

Was the first word that came to my mind. I don't like judging people but this girl literally looks like one

"Please stop being rude to our guest Ms. Karen" Nayeon pleaded before looking at me

see? even her name is Karen. I swear to God's good name she's bad

Nayeon bowed in my direction

Why do people keep bowing to me? that's a first. I was always the one bowing
