The elevator dings and opens to a small hallway.
It was a short hallway, and at the end of it, was a door that didn't even have a handle. It was one of those fancy sliding doors that could sense that there was a person in front that opened on its own.
Then, I stopped right in front of it and it slid to the side.
"The question reads, 3x + 4 = 2x + 6.""Right.""Our goal is to find the value of x, right?"
"Viy, ready to go?"At the mention of my name, my mind goes back to reality. The reality where my all-time crush was married to my charming neighbor and I was happy that they were. I won't lie and say I tried to figure out what made them match but ever since I started tutoring Thomas, I realized they were a match made in heaven.
"The total is $5.53."Grinning, I happily open my wallet and give him the payment. Helen was still gawking at our three full carts and the list on the cashier's monitor. And she wasn't the only one, there were people from other lines watching the exchange. Some were looking at me with admiration in their eyes, some were taking pictures, and some were just looking at me weirdly.
I cut the shampoo sachets we brought and stuffed them into the small bags we got at the store.After the trip to the mall, we went back to Helen's house. We ate the snacks we brought and waited just about half an hour before the items we purchased got delivered. Now, we were packing them for the food bank. Even though the majority were food, we still had goodie bags for their toiletries.
Keira places her chin down the top of my head.I was currently brushing the end tips of my wig while looking at the vanity mirror. She was pouting, her eyes looking sad. Her arms encircled around the top of my shoulders, holding me tight against her chest. I lift one of my arms up and squeeze her forearm. Leaning my cheek against it. I look up meeting her eyes, "What's wrong?""It's too sad to even think about," She sniffs, her bot
"I ate a tuna-garlic sandwich, okay? I'll brush my teeth after my shift," She grumbled, handing the phone over to me so I could look at the item she bookmarked. It was a velvet knee-high boots, and she was right it was pink. To be more precise, the strawberry shade. And she was right, I did love it.My eyes zoom in on the number of stocks left and mentally calculated how much I needed to save in order to buy it. I was about to open her calculator to make sure but stopped myself since I didn't need another session of eyeball washing. Instead, I was about to open my mouth and tell her to send me the link when Big Mama enters and points towards
To be honest, that was already more than I expected him to pay.Big Mama closed the curtain behind us, trapping the both of us inside the private booth. His legs were crossed, his hands placed perfectly on top of his knees. He was both frowning and glaring at me. Veins were probably popping by his neck with the number of angry auras vibrating from him. I find myself glaring back. He was the one who requested my time so wh
I find myself pressing Markus' code on the keypad of his door with him close right behind me.He was quiet all the way here. Actually, both of us were. I don't know why he's being quiet. I, on the other hand, know I'm being quiet because this literally was a joke that was taken too far. And here I was actually participating in it.I didn't know he's going to agree! Besides, it wasn't a
