“This is it.” Nicole looked back at the shop assistant inside and led her grandmother in under her
watchful eye.
“Mr. Patel, this is…”
“Don‘t you even recognize Miss Riddle? Go get her grandma some of the latest clothes this year,” Mr.
Patel said.
“Yes.” The shop assistant immediately did as she was told, not daring to delay for a second. Soon, the
shop assistant held several sets of the current new clothes in front of Nicole. “Miss Riddle, it is my fault
for not recognizing you. I apologize. These are the best clothes in our shop. Please have a look.”
Mr. Patel could immediately tell that there must have been friction between the shop assistant and
Nicole before he arrived, and he hurriedly mediated. “Miss Riddle, if there is anything that doesn‘t fit, I
will immediately ask her to go and change it for you.”
Nicole was not one who was difficult to reason with. When she saw the sincerity of the shop assistant
and Mr. Patel‘s pleading, she let it slide. “Let‘s give this one to my grandma to try on.”
The shop assistant hurriedly picked the outfit up and helped Grandma to put it on her. “You look so
spirited in it. Miss Riddle, what do you think?”
Nicole looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr. It was really a matter of dressing up and dressing down; Mrs. Wallace
Sr. looked much more refreshed in her new clothes, and her entire temperament was elevated. “Nice, it
fits.”
“How do you feel, Grandma?” Nicole asked.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked happy in the mirror. “It looks good.”
Seeing how much her grandmother liked it, Nicole said to the shop assistant, “Same size; wrap these
all up.” When Mrs. Wallace Sr. heard this, she said, “Why buy so many, Nicole? One is good enough.
Clothes nowadays last ten years at least.” “It‘s okay. You can change it every day.” Nicole would buy
Mrs. Wallace Sr. any she liked. “You have such a dutiful granddaughter. We are so envious.” Mr. Patel
praised.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. was all smiles.
“Miss Riddle, are you paying by cash or card?” The shop assistant asked with a smile.
“Card.” Nicole took out a gold card and handed it to the shop assistant.
Mr. Patel and the shop assistant froze when they saw the gold card, which was a limited edition gold
card with the
word Harmon on it. That someone could hold this card spoke volumes about her status.
“What are you waiting for? I‘m in a hurry.” Nicole‘s words jolted the two of them back to reality.
“Yes, I‘ll go right away.”
Mr. Patel did not even expect Nicole to come up with a gold card. He only knew her as Jared‘s fiancée,
not that she and Scott Harmon were friends.
After checking out, Nicole helped Mrs. Wallace Sr. downstairs while Mr. Patel carried her shopping
bags behind her all the way to the car park.
Nicole helped her grandmother into the car and turned to Mr. Patel. “Thank you very much.”
“Don‘t mention it. It is my pleasure to serve you. Please visit our mall again next time.” Mr. Patel smiled
politely. “Bye–bye.” Nicole got in her car and drove off toward the sea–view villa.
Nicole was so happy to see her grandmother all groomed and dressed up.
“Grandma, from now on, you will wear it all like this. It‘s classy.” Nicole praised.
Tia nodded from the sidelines.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. did not quite understand what Nicole was saying, but she looked at her and smiled,
knowing in her heart that she was complimenting her. “Tia, we‘re off to Mr. Riddle Sr.‘s house. No need
to wait for us for dinner tonight.” “Okay. Drive safe.”
