As he got in the car, Alexander thought that buying a car was important. "Another grind, I suppose," he said to himself.


    The car drove down the path leading to the city. After a few minutes, they finally arrived and the car traveled for a while, finally arriving at therge mall named ''Robinson''.


    "Young master, we have arrived," Kent said, looking back.


    Alexander nodded and took something out of his pocket money, about 5,000 pesos, giving it to Kent. Seeing therge sum of money, Kent was stunned.


    "Young master, this..." he said, ncing at the cash with a shocked face. Alexander just smiled at his expression.


    "Take it, consider it as a gift of mine for your service. You can''t say no," he said, taking no as an answer. Kent was reluctant at first but epted the money.


    This money was small to Alexander, but for Kent, it was a lifesaver. His mother was sick and needed to buy some medicine.


    "Thank you, young master," Kent said, epting the money.


    "You''re wee. I''m off now," Alexander said, patting Kent on the shoulder.


    He then got out of the car, and Kent, in the driver''s seat, bid him farewell and thanked Alexander again. Outside the mall, many girls, seeing Alexander, were shocked.


    This was their first time seeing such a handsome male, that is tall and had a muscr build. Alexander, feeling the gazes of the women in the mall like wolves wanting to eat him, made him sighed.


    "This is really a great problem," Alexander said as he went inside the mall.


    Everywhere he walked, he was the center of attention. He was like a celebrity, famous throughout his country, as people looked at him with admiration.


    He then took out his cellphone and called ire, asking for their current location. ire replied that they were just on the second floor, near a clothing shop. Alexander nodded and took an esctor.


    Arriving at the location, he searched his gaze at the ce and found ire, beside her was the chief''s daughter, Sophie.


    He then waved his hands up, making him be spotted by the girls. Then the three of them were finally together.


    "Alexander, what took you so long? Isn''t your apartment just close to the mall?" she said, not knowing why it took him over 30 minutes toe.


    "Sorry, I wasn''t at home when you called me," he replied, with a forgiving tone.


    "Hmph, if you say so, I''ll forgive you this time," ire said with her arms on her hips, she''s a like a girlfriend being angry at his boyfriend.


    Sophie, seeing the two interact, understood that their rtionship must have improved, making them buddies in just a span of five days.


    ire was wearing a long-sleeve hoodie that reaches over his hips. The hoodie features a striking graphic design with various white texts and illustrations, including stars and a shield or crest, all set against a dark background.


    For the bottom she''s wearing a loose-fitting cargo pants withrge side pockets, which are solid-colored and match the dark tone of the hoodie.


    She looks like a tomboy in style, besides her is none other than Sophie.


    Sophie was standing full of youthful grace, her short ck hair cut just above her chin in a sleek, simple style that frames her soft, heart-shaped face. Her deep brown eyes hold a quiet innocence, reflecting her youth and giving her an approachable, fresh-faced beauty.


    Herplexion is smooth and radiant, with a natural glow thatplements her unadorned features, making her appear effortlessly pretty, like a maiden still in the bloom of youth.


    She is dressed in a sleeveless, skater-style dress, the fitted bodice hugging her slim frame before ring into a gently swaying skirt. The navy-blue color of the dress contrasts beautifully with her fair skin, and its smooth, medium-weight fabric moves gracefully with her as she sways, the hem of the dress sitting just above her knees.


    With a round neckline and a concealed zipper at the back, the simple yet elegant design of the dress gives her an air of a simple yet elegant girl.


    "So where do you two want to y?" Alexander asked, looking for their suggestions.


    "Didn''t we say we are going to shop? Let''s go now," ire dered, pointing towards the clothing shop as they started walking.


    Sophie, who was beside her, whispered in her ear, "ire, can you not be so loud? So many people are looking at us." ire then shifted her view and saw that many gazes werending on them.


    "Just let them be, it''s not our fault we''re beautiful," she said with confidence as her hair flutter.


    The spectators, hearing this, were speechless. There was only one word in their minds "Shameless." But she really had the ability to back it up.


    Sophie just shook her head in dismay. She then slowed down and arrived at Alexander''s side.


    "So how was your first week of working at the restaurant, Alexander?" Sophie said, with her eyes looking at him.


    She felt that Alexander had undergone some changes from thest time she saw him. He was beyond handsome, but now there was some kind of force or demeanor that made Alexander more appealing to the eye.


    "Oh, actually, it''s the best, though. Not only is the sry big, the work isn''t even actually that hard. What about you? You''re actually amazing, though. Bncing work in the restaurant and being a tutor after that is impressive," Alexander said with full amazement.


    Sophie just smiled from thepliment, "It''s actually not that great though, since I''m not the only who can do this." she stated making a point.


    "But still, that''s them and you''re you. From my perspective, you are much more amazing," Alexander said seriously.


    He had worked hard for all of his life, so he knew how hard it is to manage time. In the restaurant, he could see that there were a lot of customers and only her and her father were the cooks.


    If that wasn''t enough, she even had the strength to continue with her tutoring, showing how truly dedicated she was.


    "What are you two talking about?" ire, in front of the two of them, asked since she was left out. "Nothing, just some casual conversation," Sophie replied with a slight smile.


    ire didn''t say anything more and finally, they arrived at the clothing shop. It was filled with girly clothes, and ire began to try all of them.


    She also tried to find clothes that were perfect for Sophie, by making her try out the dresses and clothes that she picked up.


    "ire, you don''t need to let me try out the clothes since I''m not going to buy it," Sophie said, feeling embarrassed.


    "Who said you are going to pay? Don''t worry, let your good sister help you out," ire said with a smile.


    "But this isn''t right," Sophie was about to decline, but ire interjected directly.


    "Were sisters, this is what should I do or are you saying we are not?" She said with brows furrowed, her gaze is questioning.


    "Of course, we are, but-" Sophie didn''t finish her sentence when ire already spoke.


    "Then that''s good, I''m going to buy some clothes for you," ire spoke with stars in her eyes as she went from every part of the clothing shop to make Sophie try it.


    Alexander, who was following the two, was tired mentally. They were already in this clothing shop for an hour. "Woman who are in shopping sprees are really scary," Alexander spoke inwardly, his hand already filled with a stack of clothes and dresses from ire.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "I think that''s about it" ire said, "What about you Alexander, do you have any clothes that you like?" she asked.


    "Nope I do not, let''s just go and pay this" Alexander ryed his answer.


    "Suit yourself then" They then paid the bill that cost around 10,000 pesos worth of clothing.


    Alexander now was carrying a lot of clothing bags on his hands as they walked outside the clothing shop. Finally, they went into the arcade.


    "Alexander, since you have been carrying the clothing bags for a while now, I will give you the honor of choosing a game," she said, pointing at every arcade game.


    He nodded since he wants to enjoy his day as he tries to find something that was girly since he wanted the two to enjoy as well. Looking at the right side, close to the wall, he spotted a crane game.


    "What about that" Alexander pointed at the machine, where you insert a coin to control a mechanical w, which you maneuver to try and grab a prize.


    The prizes were some cute stuffed toys that were so girly and cute.


    ire face be distorted and disgusted, "That game is for girls. What about that, let''s go," she declined as she walked to a shooting game.


    Alexander''s face grew some ck lines, but he still followed her. "If you want to y that game, why did you ask my opinion in the first ce?" he said with a sullen face.


    Sophie, beside them, just giggled at their interaction. ire then bought some coins, spending 1,000 pesos without batting an eye.


    "It really feels good to be rich" Alexander said inwardly.


    "But aren''t I''m also rich?" he continued.


    They then went to an empty slot of the machine game it was arge, high-definition t screen that disys the game environment and targets. The screen is usually mounted at eye level for easy viewing. it has it''s own gun controller a replica of a firearm, often with realistic weight and feel.


    It even have it''s own buttons and triggers to shoot and reload, and sometimes even recoil feedback to simte the feel of firing a real gun.


    The game is housed in a sturdy cab that supports the screen and gun controllers. It was also apanied by a high-quality speaker providing an immersive sound effects, including gunfire, explosions, and character dialogue.


    Standing at the empty slot, ire looked at Alexander, filled withpetitiveness. "Let''s have a challenge. If you win, I will do anything you say, but if I win, you''ll listen to everything I said," she said yfully.


    Alexander was about to ept when Sophie, behind him, warned, "Alexander, don''t. She''s a professional shooter. She even ranked first in this ce. Look at the leaderboards on the screen over there." He then gazed at the screen and saw a name in first ce ''SailorMoon''. He then looked back at ire''s proud face.


    "What a childish name" he said inwardly but did not blurt it out.


    "Is that yours?" Alexander asked, pointing at the screen that was hanging up.


    "Of course it''s mine, what now are you scared?" She said trying to provoke Alexander.


    Alexander just smiled mischievously, "girl you''re ying with fire" he said inwardly.


    "Who''s afraid of who" he said epting the challenge.
