Second time this idiot just cut my words. Does he even have manners?
"Just leave your bags in the car."
"Huh! Don't want. What if my things get stolen?"
"Au-drey, look carefully at the window. If people can't see anything from outside, do you think they'll come break the window to steal your bag?"
Sigh, being chak big time. I guess I have to listen to his instructions then. I left my bag in his car and took only my wallet and phone with me.
"Leave your wallet in the car, Au-drey."
"What if..."
"If it gets stolen I'll be responsible."
Unwillingly, I left my wallet and bag in his car, bringing only my handphone.
The walk over to Haji Lane was a terribly quiet one. I merely followed him behind his back, with him turning back a few times to check if I'm still around and giving me a smirk each time he does that.
We walk up a shophouse into a small store selling really nice clothings for both men and woman.
"Lawrence! Coming over to check if I'm eating snake or not is it?" the lady in the store greet us with a smile.
"Do I look like someone who does that?" from the way it sound, Lawrence probably is one of their regulars here.
"I need this girl to be in something that's suitable for dinner, with me." Lawrence points at me while telling the sales lady what he wants.
"That's easy. Here, come with me." the lady signal me to follow her.
The next 45 minutes was a torture to me. I was stationed in the changing room while the sales lady bring over at least 10 different shorts, pants, tops and tees for me to try on and showcase to Lawrence. Each time, I merely get a shake of his head.
Finally, he decided on getting a pair of fitting black shorts with gold studs and a asymmetrical black chiffon top.
"Oh yah, she needs a new pair of shoes too."
The sales lady brought over a pair of black heels with some gold studs and chains on it for me to try on. Very edgy and stylish but the price tag of $389 is just as pretty in my opinion.
"Looks good on her! I'll take these."
"No wait! I don't think..." I tried to stop him but too late, the lady was already cutting all the tags on the shorts and top and removing the labels on the heels.
"Done, let's go." Lawrence just grab me by my wrist again and we left the store.
"Thanks boss!" the lady said that to Lawrence when we step out of the store.
Boss???
