Chapter [254] Shop Till You Drop.
[You have one unread message from $$$abrina]
"Hmm?"
Maxwell, whilst he was working, received a text on his phone from Sabrina.
He opened his phone and checked what she messaged...before his brows furrowed.
"...f.u.c.k."
A curse escaped his mouth as he read the message.
[$$$abrine: Send.]
...a sense of dread and terror approached him...His mind felt as if he had wandered into the darkest and deepest layers of the abyss.
Ah right, he remembered now.
He had "encouraged" Sabrina to go to the mall when a certain Blonde haired girl wanted her to come, the former was obviously hesitant and didn"t want to go...But he had coerced her to go in order to build "relations". Totally not because he wanted to use this against her if she ever asked for a day off.
The only thing that helped him coerce her was Alan.
What he liked and didn"t like. Sabrina took the bait immediately and so she went.
There was only one problem.
Maxwell had no idea what Alan liked or not...Absolutely f.u.c.king not.
He was oblivious to it...what would the maniac obsessed with fighting and training like as A GIFT FROM A GIRL?!
"WHY DID I DECIDE TO DO THIS?!"
He cursed himself, his lack of reasoning when coming forth with the girl that was rich as a city was too much...
He didn"t know what to send!
[$$$abrina: Quick.]
With each second, with each thought about the message, his mind began falling apart...
[Max: Wait.]
[$$$abrina: ?]
He messaged, providing himself with some time.
Then he got on the web.
[Gifts a girl should get for a boy she likes.]
He pressed enter...he had never felt this nervous when he did anything...NOT EVEN WHEN HE WAS PLOTTING HIS FAMILY"S DEMISE!
1: Watches
2: Clothing
3:Food
4: Personal Experiences.
And so on....he just sent her these...
Of course, he wrote it himself as he didn"t want her to get suspicious. He just read the choices briefly before sending them to her. He wasn"t stupid enough to send her a link.
"Crisis averted...haaa you outshine yourself every day Maxwell...You genius."
His narcissistic side emerged and he congratulated himself. However, this narcissistic side ended soon.
[You have received one message from $$$abrina.]
And when he read that message, His eyes popped out of their sockets in shock.
[$$$abrina: I get the first few but Why is there Lingerie here among these? Maid dresses? You just sent me the top Sobrer searches for gifts!]
OH NOOOOO!!!!
"s.h.i.t, she"s smarter than expected! f.u.c.k!"
he cursed loudly in his mind.
If her...grandfather finds out...Im f.u.c.king dead...not even leaving the planet will save me!
And thus he began writing his will. He knew he f.u.c.ked up.
He f.u.c.ked up very badly.

Her anger was palpable.
"Sabrina...you okay?"
It was as if a storm was around her. A black storm that the eye could see. And Elaine, being the brave and Naive girl she was, stupidly walked into this storm.
"...?"
Her eyes were clueless as she stared at Sabrina"s angry face. Her clutches on her smartphone were so strong the screen cracked and broke down. It was now useless.
"Hmmm."
Mary had already backed off and was afraid of Sabrina...But thankfully her friend Elaine wasn"t.
She hugged her and ma.s.saged her head as she cast a few calming skills. Skills that cooled Sabrina"s head.
[Calming has been cast.]
[Peace of Mind has been cast.]
[Light"s Embrace has been cast.]
"...thanks."
Said Sabrina as Elaine let go of her. Elaine truly was a friend everyone wanted. She would help...and if you went along with her certain adventurous tendencies she would do anything to help you.
"Let"s get you a new phone."
Elaine said as she went to pick up the broken phone, but was stopped by Sabrina.
"Let me do it..."
She bent down elegantly and pointed a particular ring towards it, an astral blue light erupted from the Ring and engulfed the phone...and next thing it disappeared.
"Huh? What just happened?"
Mary, who just saw the broken phone disappear was shocked...whilst Elaine"s mouth opened wide in surprise.
"is...that?"
She asked, her shock making it so that she was unable to complete her words.
Sabrina, looking at her said.
"Yeah, it"s one of the spatial rings Alan made. Twilight gifted some to our family. I got one as well."
"NO WAY!"
Elaine was excited...but not for the reason Sabrina suspected.
"I"m sorry...but I don"t have any extra to give aw-"
"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d (Alan) ignored me even when I said I would pay him millions for one...! But you have it? Twilight wouldn"t sell them too! With this...With this...we can shop without worry."
Now it was Sabrina"s turn to open her mouth wide...
Although Mary had the same confused look on her face. She was oblivious to the worth of the ring on Sabrina"s finger...meanwhile, Sabrina"s thoughts were.
"...she"s happy for the fact that she can shop more instead of a chance to get this ring..?"
Truly, Elaine was a different breed.
"Come on!"
She dragged Sabrina in a hurry and Mary followed them.
"wait!"
"Come on Mary! there"s no limit today!"
Truly, Elaine was a different breed.
As she was being dragged by Elaine...Sabrina relented and thought.
"...well, I should at least buy some things he sent."
She considered it was worth a try... Out of all of the things...THERE HAD TO BE ONE HE LIKED...
Right?
"...I should ask Mama for tips..."
She thought...of course when she got a new phone that is.

[At the same time, in the mall.]
"Do you like the Ice cream sweetie?"
Amanda Peccator, Alan and Samantha"s Grandmother asked her dear granddaughter as she pushed her wheelchair around.
"Yeah!"
Samantha, who had a mouth full of cream replied to her as she devoured the ice cream.
Alan and Samantha both had a sweet tooth that could eat the equivalent sweets meant for hundreds of people.
Amanda smiled as she heard her cheerful cry. She came to the mall because Samantha was bored staying at home all day, Her husband was busy with work and so was Alan. Who knows what Alan was doing but it seemed important so she left it be.
She came here because Samantha wanted to...and why not get both her grandchildren as well as that stubborn husband of her"s a gift?
