Sasha bit her lower lip, she really want to get out of her and it's not helping that her earlier dispute with Kira had got the other shoppers to now monitor her, of course, Kira hadn't lowered her voice when she mentioned of her being Michael's wife and now everybody is looking at her. Although as it is her husband shop, she can just walk away with the clothes and offer to pay later but that will damage her image in all this women's eyes, Sasha cursed Michael to hell and back.
"Not only does he not give you money, you didn't even know he is the owner of this place, just what kind of a wife are you?" Kira asked sarcastically.
Sasha could already hear the other women whispering and wished the ground will just open and swallow her "I have told you many times, stop leaving your credit card at home, you don't know where you will find yourself" she heard and boy does she know that voice, she turned to the door and saw him walking up to her, he hugged her and kissed her forehead "just when will you start listening to me? You and this your simple life style" he smiled, a smile that Sasha has never seen on his face before.
Not only Sasha but everybody in the shop was surprised to see him, why is he here? Was the question in everybody's mind.
"Welcome Mr Brown" the attendants all greeted including the girl at the counter.
Michael pretended not to hear them and acted as if Sasha was the only one there "you were going shopping and you didn't tell me? Why?" He asked feigning to be hurt.
"I'm sorry?" Sasha said and he laughed.
"Why should you be sorry? Anyway, since you are already here, I must have you know that I own this place. I understand that you said you don't want to know my properties yet since we are newly married but you are standing on one baby" he smiled and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear.
"Oh" Sasha was speechless, duh, she is not used to this loving side of his.
Michael looked at the clothes on the counter and frown "is this the ones you chose?"
Sasha broke away from looking at him and looked at the clothes on the counter "yes" she confirmed.
Michael looked at the attendant standing beside Kira "where is your manager?"
"She is in her office Sir" she replied immediately.
"Get her for me" he ordered and she scurried away to the manager's office. She returned later with a tall woman following after her.
"Good afternoon Sir" she greeted before reaching him.
"May I know the reason my wife has to shop alone here?" He demanded.
Wife? The woman was shocked before she noticed Sasha that was in his arms, she remembered her after all she attended their wedding "I am so sorry sir, I didn't know she was here, nobody informed me" she tried to defend herself immediately. The rest of the attendant cursed her, why do she want to put the blame on them, how were they supposed to know the lady is his wife.
"Enough bullshit, I heard there is new stock?" Michael asked.
"Yes sir" the woman nodded.
"Then why aren't you showing them to her?" He demanded.
"I'm sorry" she looked at Sasha "please come with me Mrs. Brown" she smiled. Sasha was still in shock until she heard Mrs. Brown, just why is Michael so loving and protective today? She just couldn't say.
"Here you go love" he put a black credit card in her hand "don't forget this one like you always do, hmm?" He smiled "I would have love to stay with you but I have a meeting to attend. Don't worry, Bella here will take good care of you, won't you Bella?" He looked at the woman.
"Of course I will Sir, you have my word" she readily agreed.
Michael smiled and looked at Sasha again "I will see you at home tonight" he kissed her forehead again and walked right past Kira without even acknowledging her and walked out of the shop. Gary sighed before following after him, his boss should have been actor because he has not seen anyone that could act like him, just look at how he settled the issue and made them appear like a loving couple when in truth they are not. Anyways, he understand his boss personality very well, just because he maltreats his wife, doesn't mean anybody else will.
Sasha followed the woman called Bella blindly into another room, lost in thought about Michael's behavior just now but she still saw from the corner of her eyes as Kira stomped her foot and walked away angrily, she can also feel that the way the other women sees her has change too, well, guess she can thank her husband this time for saving her image but that will wait till she gets home then.
