Chapter 010

Karion’s POV

“Well, it’s only natural for someone like you to think something like that when am dressed like this” once again, I gestured towards my gown “but you really shouldn’t judge someone you know nothing about just by their looks you know” I added hoping he would probably listen, but let’s me be honest with myself, from the way he has been talking, guys like him doesn’t even give people like me a chance.

He looked at me the way someone would look at a stain on an expensive rug, something that shouldn’t be there in the first place.

“Oh, so your preaching now?” He said while letting out a small scoff “I shouldn’t judge people by looks alone huh? Should I tell you how stupid that saying of yours is? If I were to call someone here to evaluate our bank accounts just by looks, and the person decided to take your stupid saying and pick you as the more wealthy man between the both of us and me as the less wealthy, even with how your looking and how am looking, do you see how stupid your saying sounds now?” he said, he’s voice going higher and higher, like he wanted the whole store to hear him tearing me down piece by piece.

And when I thought people were starring before, now they weren’t even trying to hide it, some of them had even stopped pretending to browse through the racks of clothes, just standing there watching the scene unfold like it was some kind of free entertainment.

“Well, who knows it might just be true” I said, even though from his balance and mine I knew it was true, but I don’t wanna sound too prideful, I mean I literally just got this a few hours ago, and still not 100% sure if the card works, so bragging about something I haven’t fully confirmed myself felt a little too early.

“you even have the audacity to act smug huh , you think this is funny don’t you, well am glad you’ve had your fun, it was already a big enough insult that a nobody like you walked in here, pretending to buy clothes, and it’s even a bigger slap in the face that you think in your entire lifetime you can be more wealthy than me? Do you know who I am? My type of status and wealth would change your entire life” he said, the pride in his voice rising with every word, like each sentence was pulling him higher onto some invisible throne only he could see.

Change my entire life? For just a balance of 321,930 dollars, didn’t he think saying all this was a little too much? I know he’s part of those people who brags about how they have millions and all, but common at least he should have some common sense, because if that was supposed to be a threat, it was a pretty weak one.

I let out a small scoff and shaked my head in disbelief, “is that so? And your still working as a manager here?” I said with a small smirk on my face, because if he really had all that wealth he jus boasted about, he wouldn’t be standing in a store yelling at a customer over clothing.

Then he’s face immediately dropped, like he wasn’t playing around anymore, like something in what I said had actually landed somewhere it wasn’t supposed to.

Then I heard the sound of footsteps approaching me from my back, quick and deliberate, more than one pair, I turned my head briefly to see that it was security, two of them, both built like they didn’t get hired for their customer service skills, I frowned a bit, so the security he called actually came?

“Mr D, is there a problem here?” one of the guys said, his eyes flicking between me and the manager like he was trying to figure out who he was supposed to be intimidating first.

“Yes, a very filthy one” the manager replied while looking at me, his lips curling like he’d already decided how this was going to end “this man right here, obviously released from a psychiatric hospital, walked in here to steal” he said, his voice loud enough that I was sure even the staff by the register had heard him.

His words hit me with absolute surprise, my brows raising up immediately “steal? Why would you say something like that” I said, because out of everything I expected him to accuse me of, this wasn’t even close to the top of the list.

“I cought up to your little trick a few minutes ago, you come in here, deceiving us all that you want to buy something, and when you get a chance alone with the outfit, you take off the tag, and find a way to walk out of here with the clothes, am sure your not here alone, where’s your accomplice” he said looking towards the door like he would find the solution called person I was working with, scanning the entrance like he actually expected some shady figure to bolt the moment his eyes landed on them.

Hearing all this made me let out a small laugh, some people really loved lying and deception, this whole world is full of people like that, and this man standing in front of me acting all high and mighty was proof enough of that.

“Now, our best customers would soon be here, and I wouldn’t want them seeing a trash like you in a place like this, so gentlemen, throw this man out” the manager said and the guards began approaching me before I could even say a word, their hands already reaching towards my arms like I was some kind of criminal caught red handed.

“if you just allow me to buy something here, would that prove to you that am not here to steal” I said, keeping my voice calm even though the guards were now close enough that I could feel their shadows over me.

He started at me for a few seconds, like he was actually rethinking it, his eyes narrowing slightly like he was trying to find the trick hidden somewhere in my offer, then he paused and said “fine, I’ll like to see your payment get declined anyway, it gives me more joy when am throwing you out, just remember you caused this embarrassment on yourself” he said, already smiling like he’d won something.

Before I could reply, he’s attention suddenly moved towards the door, his expression changing immediately, his face almost turning pale as his eyes widened, the same confidence that had been dripping from his voice a second ago completely gone, like someone had just yanked the ground from underneath him.

“fuck, their here” he said and before I could even respond he already began moving passed me, shoving past the guards who were still holding onto my arms, his whole posture shifting from arrogant manager to someone scrambling to save face.

Out of curiosity I slowly turned to see who he was talking about, probably it was the special guest that he said was on their way here, the one he’d been so eager to protect from the sight of me only a moment ago.

That’s what made his face turn pale right now?, that alone made me curious enough to turn and take a look

As I turned my eyes immediately landed on the two figures who walked into the store, both moving with the kind of ease that told you they belonged wherever they went, like the world just naturally made room for them.

My brows frowned as I stared at the two familiar figures, people I thought I wasn’t going to see for a while again, people I definitely wasn’t ready to run into, not here, not like this.

Jubril and Maddie.
