Billionaire's Hidden Princess by Alegna Ciee (most popular novels txt) 📖

"Even then, I don't want others to look at you that way. I can't stand it," she absentmindedly commented, taking him aback.

"You... can't stand that?" he repeated with both of his eyes arched in surprise.

"O-Of course...! I-It'll be uncomfortable on your part."

"On mine...? What about yours?"

"W-Well, umm..."

"Do you want to just have them out of sight, then?"

"Huh?"

Before she can get a clarification on his uncalled-for question, though, he already turned around and made his way to the counter, leaving her immensely baffled. Unsure of what else to do, she just quietly waits for him to come back and remains standing there at that spot.

But then, a moment later, she notices how the boutique is starting to get more spacious in each passing minute until she eventually finds herself all alone at that area.

"Huh? Is the store about to close?" she wondered in confusion as she surveyed her soulless surroundings.

"Ready to go, Eya?" 

That's when Livius finally comes back, making her swerve to his direction. Too puzzled by how the place just emptied out without her knowing, her plan to ask him what he did once he returned has eventually slipped her mind. 

"I-I think they're closing, Livi. Let's just find another-"

"Huh? No, they're not. They're open until the entire mall closes. Now, come on."

Livius then proceeds to grab Leticia by the hand and drag her to the men's section, leaving her baffled once more.
