Chapter 38 - Alana Lannes (1/2)
”I have gathered you all here because I will be selling this mansion. I have already asked someone to come and sell it for me, at the end of the month I will be moving out. I know this concerns you and your job but I have an offer for you all. I am starting a restaurant, and I will be in need of people to work. So in place that I will be hiring a new, why, not ask you all. We have known each other for so long, and I would like to thank you all for rending your service toward me. If you accept my offer, I guarantee you will benefit from it. If we reach a good revenue, each of you will get 2% of it. If it will be successful, you will get more. I just can't promise you that you will have that immediately but I can guarantee that after a year you will have it. ” Sheri said.
Everybody was talking toward each other. Ghani on the other side was silent. After a while. One of them spoke up.
”Miss, Alana, you are very kind, and I am thankful for what you have done for these past years toward me and my family. I am willing to join you even without the 2% I will help you. ” She said. Later all of them agree, and Sheri was pleased about it.
The following days the whole mansion was busy. A person from the government came and looked at the mansion and all the furniture inside of it. Sheri sought someone who is not under her husband. It took her 2 days straight to know who she should call. Sheri and the government personnel talked about how much it is. Sheri knows from her experience in her world how much it cost. Making the person stun. With all the talk, they came in a good amount. Sheri even asked for a good location for a restaurant and a small house. Since that person had a good feeling about Sheri, she recommends a good location and a good building and a small house.
While Sheri is busy packing her stuff Ghani came with a box and some luggage.
”Miss, what should we do with Sir Angelo stuff?” Ghani asked.
Sheri looked up and was still. She never thought about it.
”I want to check what are those,” Sheri said.
”Ghani handed it to her and Sheri flip some documents and saw that all are just unnecessary documents and old papers. When she read them, they are just garbage. She also saw two bags of clothes from him.
”Throw them all, they are all unnecessary. I guess he knows that he will not stay here, so he just put a bunch of useless documents. All his clothes will be given to an institution that needs it.” Sheri said and shrugged and returns to what she's doing.
Ghani was red when she heard those. ”Unbelievable he is a heartless person. Bah! It makes me sick,” Ghani said.
Sheri laughs, ”Don't bother about it, his not worth it.” Sheri said.
Luckily Sheri and Alana have the same personality so there is no warning from the system that she is out of character.
After a few months, Sheri moved to her new house. It's located where Ghani also lived. It's in a middle-class area. She chooses this location because it's reminded of her old world.
Today Sheri wanted to buy new furniture and a few modern styles of clothes. While looking at her clothes in the closet, she frowns. All were old. The old Alana never spends any for herself.
It shows a little bit of cleavage but not so much and exposes her beautiful caramel skin.
She put a bit of makeup and put her coal-black hair in a simple bun. She went out and speeds toward the shopping area. This is the first time she will use her skill. While running through the forest Sheri was ecstatic she finds it amazing. Her body moves in agile and was enjoying the wind and everything around her. For a while, she arrived in the shopping area.
She is very careful not to be noticed by other people. This era doesn't know that vampires exist. They are unknown toward humans and their existence was well hidden. They are the day-walking vampires. It is an ability of and to walk in and function in the day without the need for protection or fear burning from UV rays. These only apply to their kind pure-blooded.
When she was standing outside a dress store, she saw a beautiful dress. She was thinking either to get in or not. Many of the passersby stop when they looked at the woman looking at the dress.
One particular is her husband. He was having, morning breakfast with his business partner. At the opposite of the store where Sheri is standing. He was surprised to see her. She looks fresh, and her dress gives a great complement toward her body, she put her hair up exposing her whole face especially her birthmark. Usually, she hides it with her hair but now he finds it intriguing. The last time he saw her is when he pushed her into the river. He was angry when she kept on following him trying to talk about Catherine.
He raises his eyebrow while drinking his red juice. That restaurant was exclusive for vampires, and no human can go in.
When Sheri decides not to buy the dress. He, however, was observing her all the way. He called one of his men.
”Follow her,” he coldly commands.
His men followed Sheri. On the way toward a 2nd shop, she notices a man following her. She strides faster toward a crowded area. No matter how the man tried to catch up he can't follow Sheri due to she's good at blending with the people.
