" I know it was a sudden request but I am glad you can do something about it. With recent events I don't want to cause any more uproar here." Samuel said over the phone.
" I can understand. I even received the call from the executive producer of the film pleading for resolving your situation. I hope they would be at ease after tomorrow." Delphina, who was on the other end of the phone, answered.
Tomorrow was the day they would reveal a combined statement to calm the public outcry over his arrest. It had subsided a lot, but no official announcements were made; a combined story with Delphina, Joshua, Samuel, and Lucas from the police department would squash any further suspicion.
" Yeah, they had been hounding me for some time now. I am glad it will be over soon."
" Also, someone will be waiting to receive you at the store. I have already instructed them about your approximate time of arrival so you don't need to worry about that."
" Thank you, I will properly compensate them-"
" You don't need to worry about that, It's on me as a sign of our partnership. Will you be bringing your companions too?"
" Yes, do you know them?"
" A little, it's a old habit so don't mind it. This time it can also help you a lot."
" Help me?"
" Forget about it. I hanging up, there is still much to prepare for tomorrow. I have to anticipate my brother's reaction too and find out any moles still hidden in my house." She said seriously. Samuel did help her get rid of a few of them by scanning his surroundings, but it didn't account for those currently away from her house.
He considered connecting her with Zero, but it was better to ask Zero before disclosing their existence.
" Ok, I will talk to you later but don't forget to keep me updated. As you said we are partners." Samuel chuckled.
" Hmm.." There was only a tiny humm from her before she hung up the phone. He might not know it, but he did affect her on a much larger scale during their first meeting.
A few hours after speaking with Delphina, everyone except for the girls was ready. Grandma insisted on staying home, but Elise dragged her, saying it was their first time going out like a family, so in the end, she had no choice but to give in.
She held Elise in her arms, wearing simple clothes, but her dignified aura couldn't be hidden. Samuel didn't know what she did, but to become successful enough to own a few buildings in Paris was proof that she had lived a fruitful life.
" What's taking them this long? I know makeup are in fashion these days but who takes two hours to get ready!" She exclaimed while sitting in the living room.
" Did you see how excited they were? Beside I already know girls take time dressing up." Samuel chuckled, seeing her grumble.
" Are you boasting right now? If I didn't see all those photos on the internet I would have assumed you to be a upright young man!"
" Shit! What the hell did Kayla told her?" Samuel thought and said," You don't have to be mad, I have to attend those parties on behalf of my family-"
" Hehehe, do you think these old eyes are blind! Those young girls sticking with you, you call that your duty? I haven't gone senile yet!"
" You guys are already fighting? It's only been few hours since we left you!"
" Can't you just get along like adults?" The ladies made their entrance and instantly captivated everyone's attention. Samuel had only seen them with work clothes, so seeing them dress up was a big shock.
They walked down the stairs elegantly. Mayra was wearing a long black dress covering her front up to her neck, but her sleeves were exposed to her arms. It was not very tight, but her slender curves couldn't be hidden. What shocked Samuel was when she swiftly turned to make him look at her back; it was a backless dress partially hidden by her long black hair, which seemed curled up, unlike her previous straight hair. She had light makeup on, making her face shine, bright red lipstick on her slender lips, and her grey eyes shining brilliantly as she walked toward the living room.
On the other side, Kayla, who always seemed rough, looked refreshing. Unlike the usual ponytail, her hair fluttered proudly, gently perching on top of her shoulder. She was also wearing a black dress, which was much tighter around her scrumptious figure. Her massive breasts were firmly withheld in one place, and with the generous cut of the dress, one could feel drowning in a vast valley.
Her dress also had a modest cut along the sides, which exposed her long, alluring legs. Her face, which had gone rough due to her long hours, looked much more lively, and with her puffy lips stained with dark red color, she looked more sexy than ever!
" P-please don't look at me like that!"
" I can't seem to face his gleaming eyes." They said bashfully, hiding their faces. They didn't get much chance to dress up like this, but when he suggested going out tonight, they thought about giving their best for him. His bright face meant he liked it, but when he looked at them, they suddenly felt hot.
" Boy! Stop staring! Don't you have to something!?" With Grandma's words, Samuel stopped daydreaming and faced them head-on.
" You look beautiful. I never get the chance to say it before but I feel so-"
" Stop it!"
" I get it, so don't say anything cringy." They covered his mouth simultaneously. He was making it worse by saying sweet stuff to Grandma and Elise.
" Ho Ho, seeing that wild child being embarrassed, I guess I lived long enough to witness everything in the world!" Grandma laughed, looking at the three of them.
...
...
...
" Forget what I said about living long enough; what the hell is this!?" Freida exclaimed as soon as she entered the place. Delphina went above and beyond with her arrangement; two rows of employees bowed their heads as soon as they entered the store.
Louis Vuitton, one of the subsidiaries of LVHM, had a well-known store in Paris. With a five-story building catering to every need of its customers, they could find anything inside as long as it was made by the company.
" Young master, It's an honor that you visited our establishment today; my humble self is Gaston, the store manager of this store. I will serve you wholeheartedly!" At the end of the line, an old man bowed slightly, looking at Samuel's group with reverence.
He had a thick accent similar to Grandma's, but he was way too respectful; Samuel wondered what Delphina told him.
" I will be in your care today, Mr Gaston," Samuel said humbly, but his temperament remained noble, unlike his usual self at home. At this moment, His companions understood Samuel's identity and why he was so feared!
" Please, I will show you our latest good. I am hopeful you find it satisfactory."
" Hmm.." He walked inside but turned back to see everyone was still looking at him." What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Samuel asked, tilting his face.
" N-no, it's just...."
" Hwaa..."
" Sami is so cool!" It was Elise who said loudly when others were hesitating.
" Is that so? Hahaha, I will be cool for Elise!" Samuel said and lifted her up. Observing from the side, Gatson was dumbstruck seeing Samuel's casual behavior. When he first heard that a little girl was coming, he didn't think much of it, but seeing how close she was to calling him casually, he knew their relationship was not simple!
Thankfully, after the initial shock, everyone returned to normal; the staff also saw how friendly Samuel was to talk to, so they enthusiastically showed them products to choose from. Unlike what they heard from the manager about Samuel being from the Rothschild family, there was no hint of arrogance when he interacted with anyone.
" Young miss, I think this will suit you better!"
" Get that out of her face. Don't you know she likes the pink version more? How about this miss?" The young female staff were flocking to Elise, who were instantly drawn to her cuteness. Blue-eyed blonde little kid immediately became a fan favorite when she smiled for the first time.
Meanwhile, Kayla browsed for some coats as winter approached, and Mayra was busy looking at dresses and formal clothes. Only Grandma Frieda was sitting alone, with Samuel sneaking glances at him.
" If you have something to say, you can say it." Samuel asked her directly.
" Is it really fine? I saw the prices, it's outrageous even by my standards."
" It's alright, I really wanted to treat everyone for letting me stay with them. This much is nothing, looking at Elise talking with them warmly makes everything irrelevant."
" If you say so-"
" What say so? I already told them to bring some sample shoes for you. Ah, there they are, please choose few suitable one." Samuel got up and started leaving.
" Wait, I can't-"
" If you don't, I will buy everything that your size then you have to reserve whole floor on your building for storage!"
" Urgh," She wanted to protest, but knowing him, he was not joking. She could always choose a few cheap ones.
" That's impossible!" She screamed in her mind. Whenever she looked, every shoe that they brought looked expensive; no item was lower than fifty thousand euros! In the end, she ended up choosing a few of them.
Samuel also brought a few clothes; they were expensive, but he was going with casual clothes. Suddenly the girls came and started choosing their clothes too, by the time they finished shopping, there was a small mountain at the corner of the store. Gaston said he would deliver the items directly, but they left the store empty-handed.
