Harmonica stared at her with a raised brow.
''What can't be? Is there no small size 7 here?'' She asked, confused.
''Of—Of course not.'' Rita stuttered, struggling to maintain her composure.
''Then help us find it.'' Zane's little voice said as he stared up at the woman.
That was when Rita noticed him. She stared at the little guy her eyes widening in shock.
It was the boy from the elevator.. the one Lucas had chose to stay with instead of going home with her.
She held the railing tighly, almost passing out from shock.
Her breath was ragged and she struggled to grasp air.
Did Lucas know? Did he know this little boy had been his son from the getgo?
''Are you okay?'' Harmonica asked, stepping towards her in worry.
She stepped back.
''You're bleeding.'' Harmonica said again, trying to reach for her shoulders.
''I'm fine!'' Rita snapped, making harmonica's eyes widened in shock.
Without waiting, Rita ran downstairs.
She headed for the back door, trying to escape this cruelty when the guard who had helped her in stopped her.
''So…'' He started, licking his lips seductively. His hands were rubbing against his hardened dick as he stared at her with lusty eyes.
''My place or yours?'' He asked when he saw that she was quiet, her eyes bloodshot.
'Probably from arousal' He thought
He reached to grope her breasts when Rita kicked him where the sun shone.
He screamed, his voice alerting most of the workers.
She quickly ran to her car, her eyes teary as she got in.
''Oh my God are you okay?'' Anna asked, reaching for her shoulders where there was blood stain on it.
''It's not my fucking blood!'' Rita shouted, taking the nose mask off her face.
She was now shivering, tears trickling down her eyes.
Lisa and Anna stared at each other in confusion.
''What is wrong?'' Lisa started, reaching for her.
Rita evaded her touch.
''Get the fuck out.'' She said, her voice calm like she hadn't been on a rampage a while ago.
''What?'' Lisa asked, shocked.
''I said get the fuck out of my car you leeches!!!'' Rita shouted in their faces, making both of them jump simultaneously.
They quickly got down the car, anger coursing through them as they watched the limousine drive away, leaving them stranded.
''Fuck her!'' Lisa screamed, enranged.
''I told you we shouldn't go! But oh no…you had to be a people pleaser.'' Anna snickered, staring at Lisa with contempt.
''People pleaser? Fuck you! We both know you only agreed to come here so you could get something off her. You're the leech she's talking about!'' Lisa screamed at her, annoyance laced in her tone.
Before she could say another word, Anna pounced on her.
They pulled at each other's hair to their hearts content, making sure they didn't look anything like they had came.
They had forgotten that they still had to walk home in their new appearances.
Meanwhile, Rita was now wiping the tears off her eyes.
''Turn back.'' She commanded, making the driver pause.
''What?'' He asked, confused.
''Did I stutter?'' Rita retorted, her voice heavy.
Without another word, the driver did a three-sixty and drove back, occasionally checking through the rear view mirror for any signal from his boss.
When they got to the front of the mall, Rita waved a hand and he stopped.
She nodded, resting her head against the car seat as she waited.
Inside the mall, the head sales person was repeatedly bowing her head to Harmonica despite her having told the lady that it was okay.
''Please forgive her. Janice has the flu. I heard it could mess up the brain.'' The lady continued.
''It's fine. I won't file any complaint or leave a bad review.'' Harmonica said, making the lady sigh in relief.
Those were the exact words she had been expecting. She quickly bowed one last time before leaving.
Harmonica sighed.
''Zade I don't think they have a small size 7. Maybe we can come back some other time. Is there something else you want?'' Harmonica asked, patting the little man's head.
''Toysss!'' Zade mused happily, jumping up and down like the little kid that he was.
''Slow down zade. You're not supposed to stress yourself.'' She said, smiling.
She took him to the toy section and made him select as much toys as he wanted.
Her phone buzzed in her purse and she retrieved it, pressing the phone to her ear.
''…Okay. I'll meet you there.'' She answered before hanging up the call.
''Guess what?'' She asked zade as they walked towards the cashier with the workers trailing behind them, holding all the things they bought.
''What?'' Zade asked, his eyes bulging in curiousity.
''Uncle romano just ordered your favorite food!'' She said, basking in joy as her words brought a smile to the little man's face.
''Now mummy just has to pay and take you there.'' She said, handing over her card to the cashier who swiped it before handing it back to her happily.
They'd hit it big today without having to stress themselves.
''Thank you for shopping with us. Hope to see you some other time.'' She said, handing her the reciepts.
Harmonica smiled back at her, taking the reciepts.
She walked to the entrance while the workers trailed behind her, rolling the trolly filled with her purchases.
Harmonica thanked them after they put the things In her trunk, popping them a few tips before getting into the car with zade.
Rita tapped her driver immediately. ''Follow them.''
He nodded before stepping on the gas, following behind the red maybach.
They drove for a while, the day already slipping into night.
After a while, they pulled up to a restaurant and Rita leaned by the door of her car, watching as Harmonica got down with her son, walking into the restaurant.
Rita clenched her fist tightly as she moved to trail Harmonica. But then she stopped when she saw Harmonica sitting by the window side.
The glass was visible so she could see her clearly from where she sat.
She tapped her legs anxiously, scratching her nails against the car glass as she stared in anticipation for the person Harmonica was waiting for.
The thoughts that Lucas was already going about with Harmonica after breaking up with her made her chest tighten.
The man Harmonica had been waiting for finally arrived, making her sigh in relief as she realized it wasn't Lucas.
But that relief was short lived when she saw who it actually was.
Romano!
He was smiling as the waitress brought in their food, staring at Harmonica with a particular glint in his eyes.
That stare…It was the same way he used to stare at her.
Was he perhaps….In love with Harmonica?!
