41 Anxious Unexpected Encounter (2/2)

After he was kidnapped, the fear remained.

But that incident made him realize one thing. Lycster's knew he was not alone. There were people who cared about him. If anything happened to him, someone would remember him.

As he continued to take in customer requests, he noticed that there was a group of men walking towards their stall in the distance. The group was led by a well-dressed man in a suit. From his attire and accompanying crowd, Lycster could tell this man was of importance.

Something about this felt ominous.

Lycster recalled Vyrena sharing with him what had happened at the jewellery store.

”So this Baron Koufer, what did he look like,” Lycster has asked.

”He wore a dark colour suit and a top hat. Oh, and he had a butler with him. I think the butler's name was Old Chon or something like that…” Vyrena went on to give a brief description of what the butler wore.

Lycster was getting cold feet, breaking out into cold sweat. The two people in front of the group looked exactly like Vyrena's description! Could that really be them? If it was, what were they doing here?

”Old Chon, find out which stall is that girls. What was her name again?”

”Vyrena, Baron,” Old Chon replied respectfully.

He went to inquire from the other shopkeepers the whereabouts, and the quickly pointed in Lycster's direction. Carole, who had been tending to a customer in her store, looked over to see Lycster shaking in fear. She quickly went over to check on him.

”Lycster, hey hey, are you alright? You look pale,” Carole asked in a concerned tone.

”Miss Carole, it's the Baron! He's making his way over here!”

Carole was surprised, she too had heard Vyrena mention about what had happened. What was the Baron here for? And why was he looking for Vyrena? Carole gave Lycster a pat on his back.

”Don't worry about it, Lycster. I'll be here.”

Just as Carole finished her sentence, the Baron and his entourage arrived, casting a huge shadow into the store. Lycster was empowered by Carole's words and put on a brave face. Remembering what Vyrena taught him about good customer service, he put on a smile.
