30 Enslavement- Part 1 (2/2)
”My sister Nora was the one who shopped. For both of us of course. She has good taste,” Heidi nodded her head, so good that she had the habit of keeping all the good things for herself while leaving the rest she didn't feel worth to Heidi, ”I am not sure if I would pick the right one.”
”You don't have to worry about it. Rest assured, I will pick the best ones,” Stanley placed his gloved hand on his chest solemnly, ”Most of the ladies keep their personal maids to help them in making choices. Mr. Lawson's mother has a maid herself so you needn't worry about it. By the way would you want to rest for sometime? After all we have been making rounds for a while now.”
”I am fine,” she assured him. She wasn't sure when was the last time she had gone around like this, ”I think I would like to go straight back to the mansion after we are done.”
”Of course, milady. Master is here!” At those words her head whipped to her right to see Lord Nicholas sauntering, making his way to where they stood. His long legs took no time to come and stand where she was. Since last evening Heidi hadn't exchanged a word with him not because she didn't want to. She had come in terms that the Lord was more than odd in her book.
”I see you haven't bought anything yet. Waiting for me to join?” Lord Nicholas asked her, noticing both his butler and her with empty hands.
”Pardon me for intruding master. We didn't find anything worthy that Ms. Curtis could wear.”
”What about the one which Venetia goes to? I believe that's the one which has decent clothes.”
”That is true, master. But it is also the one that wouldn't welcome Ms. Curtis if I were to go with her,” the butler answered promptly not missing a beat in replying to his Lord's questions.
So her thoughts were right, thought Heidi to herself. Not all shops welcomed humans to enter especially not when she was dressed in a simple attire. The Lord then took her to the shop the butler had mentioned. Even though the man who stood at the door gave her a look initially, upon looking at the Lord with his proud frame next to her, he had given a longer bow. It didn't seem like he was a stranger in this place when he spoke to one of the staff who went in and brought the owner of the shop along with her. The owner was a young female vampire, the color of her eyes a lighter shade of red with her lips painted red. Looking atLord Nicholas standing there, the owner's eyes lit up delight.
”Good afternoon, Lord Nicholas,” the woman bowed, her voice like velvet, ”It is a wonderful surprise to see you here. Please tell me how can I help you?”
”Afternoon Sibyl. This isMs. Curtis, a guest of mine,” Lord Nicholas looked at Heidi and then back to the owner named Sibyl, ”I need you to find the best and well suited dresses for Ms. Curtis.”
”Of course, Lord Nicholas. We would be more than happy to assist in it. Please, come this way,” the owner said taking them away from the entrance and to the back end rooms which was isolated, ”Please make yourself comfortable.”
Sibyl, the owner called three of her female staffs and ordered them to get the dresses from her room. Soon dresses were placed in front of them in a display, one beautiful dress after another and were grand to look at. After seeing them , Heidi wasn't sure if she was allowed to buy them. When it was only her and the butler she had secretly tried finding out how it each of them costed, and all of the dresses she had seen previously were good but none of them this beautiful. The helper girls only made her nervous, showing her dresses after dresses.
