Kick them out

"I am buying it. Pack it for me" a familiar voice rang loudly, making Serene became stiff. She took a deep breath before glancing at Cindy, who is accompanied by nonetheless than Boris Clive.

The shop assistant instantly recognized Cindy, who is a regular to this mall. With the last name Rivera, even though she is not the original heiress to the Rivera fortune, still her father has millions to his name. While Alexander has more than a hundred thousand billion dollars worth properties and assets. Serene is his sole heir. But she never wanted any of it.

While Dante has so much money that no one could estimate his net worth.

"Miss Rivera, welcome. I will immediately pack it for you" the ring which Serene liked is now being packed for Cindy.

Serene didn't argue, she never did. Alexander made it a point to install in her head, very painfully, that a proper lady should never lose her composure in public.

Serene quietly snapped a picture of the ring and sent it to Dante.

'I like this' she texted him.

Cindy is a bully. That fact never changed. The Serene Cindy knew had long black hair which was always tied back into a ponytail. Now Serene has chopped her hair into half, coloured it brown and has bangs covering her forehead. Her bluish eyes are now covered with a plain brown coloured lens. Alexander always insisted that she should always look presentable, forcing her to cake her face with makeup which is so thick, that Serene's real mesmerizing features used to be buried under her perfect makeup. Now she is barely wearing any make, except for her lipstick. Her face now looks fresh and young, radiating youth. Now she is wearing jeans and a plain t shirt, completely different from the expensive dresses Alexander insisted that she should wear. Two years ago, she looked much older than her age, now, she looks younger.

'Cindy didn't seems to recognize me' Serene though.

Boris kept glancing at Serene, but she ignored him completely.

"What kind of trash you are allowing into your store these days? I mean, look at her clothes. They look plain and second hand. She doesn't even deserve to touch these jewelry. Looks like she is here to steal" Cindy said with every intention to humiliate Serene.

Boris glanced at Serene once again.

"Darling, she is my ex. I broke up with her. But she kept pestering me like this. You don't worry, I will deal with her" Boris assured Cindy, who looked snobby.

Cindy scrunched up her face, her disgust evident.

"Oh my god, Boris, did you kiss that thing?" she demanded with a screech.

Boris vehemently shook his head.

"Darling, I didn't even touch her. My mother didn't like her, so I broke up with her. I swear Darling, I will never lower my standards to that level" he protested.

Serene snorted sarcastically. Its true that she is a virgin and Boris never ever kissed her, not because he didn't like it. But because Serene couldn't give her all to him. And her gut feeling proved right.

Boris glared at her.

"Darling, just give me a minute" he murmured and approached Serene menacingly. He grabbed Serene's elbow with every intention to drag her out of the store.

"If you want your limbs to be intact, then i suggest you not to touch her" Albert's voice rang loudly.

Cindy immediately recognized Albert. Her eyes turned wide with shock and fear. She knows who Albert is. Offending Albert is like offending his boss. Cindy is too scared to even take his boss's name.

"Albert? Ah? What are you doing here?" Cindy asked hesitantly. Her arrogance and snobish tone no where in sight. Now she looked like a rabbit facing a lion.

Albert didn't even spared Cindy a glance. He is glaring at Boris who was still holding Serene's elbow.

Albert is a little surprised to see how calm and composed Serene looked, radiating confidence like a lady.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Albert snapped.

Boris immediately let go of Serene's hand. He was going out with Cindy for over six months now. So he knows who Albert is. He saw Albert once when he went to drop Cindy in the Rivera mansion. He also knows that Albert is dangerous, but its the man whom Albert works for who is to be feared.

"I didn't know she was with you. She was my ex girlfriend. She is very clingy. I didn't mean to offend you sir" Boris bent down to apologize to Albert.

Albert didn't waste his breath on either Cindy or Boris. He turned to face the Sales assistant who is already trembling with fear. Her spine straight and her gaze locked down to Albert's feet.

"Pack everything which the lady liked" he instructed in a tone that made even Serene feel uneasy. Albert looks like a typical man from the other side of law. Beefy body, a small scar across his chin, and his arrogant smile which looks more scary than the man himself.

Immediately the sales lady packed the ring which Serene liked. She even added a few pieces which Serene glanced a moment longer.

"Sir" she handed over neatly packed back to Albert, who accepted the bag. But Serene stopped him.

"Just a moment Albert" she murmured softly, but firmly. Serene is no where as powerful as Dante, hell, she is not half as strong as Albert, but the tone she used is that of a mistress. If he was surprised, he didn't show. Immediately Albert complied, without batting an eye lash. That made both Cindy and Boris stunned out of their minds. If Serene could command Albert, then she is not someone who can be easily bullied. She must be someone powerful, or backed by someone powerful.

Serene picked up the ring she liked from the bag of expensive jewelry. She is not a materialistic person, and she doesn't need items when she didn't pick.

"Lets go" Selena left the other items on the counter before walking out holding just the ring. Albert followed after her obediently.
