The Everything Store Novels & Stories

I cast a stoic look at Harvey, feeling completely disappointed in him. That was when the villa's doors opened. Harvey's parents rushed inside with hideous expressions. "Harvey, why can't we use this bank card anymore? Your dad and I just picked out some nourishing, rare herbs for Debbie. We even ate some of the gifts we picked for her, but the card was declined when we had to pay!"

Edwin eventually explained. Darius observed the man who showed no emotion as he spoke. Edwin was stone cold as he talked to his daughter as if she were nothing more than another business transaction… some sort of currency… Well, to be fair, that’s what this was for Edwin Miles… A business deal, where he got a significant sum of money, and Darius got a high-priced… employee. “I’m sorry… What? I… I don’t understand… father,” Alannah stumbled over her words, her voice confused as she looked up, gazing at Darius with shock filled eyes.

He admonished her, she smiled happily and left for his room. Asfand was quite busy these days, as he was handling the company. Even though Dad went to the office as well, he wasn't involved as much since the transfer of power was already in progress. Reaching Karachi, his schedule was tightly packed. He had meetings through and through. He entered the Karachi office branch only to see all the workers gaze at him with admiration and a little fear. He was hard-lined when it came to business. Evening came by and he was waiting for yet another meeting, when the manager came to him to deliver the news that the opposition party will be late by almost an hour.

Zai asked while driving. "We’ll need to buy some plates, new curtains, bed sheets, and some home decor to spice up the unit." "Okay. Can we just go to the Empire Mall Department store then? I am sure they’d have everything there." "Empire Mall Department store? Wait, isn’t that one of your businesses?" "Yes, it is. Why?" "Then it’s a no. We can't go there, they will recognize you. It's not comfortable to do shopping when they all know you. So definitely not there!"

Everything in this store, of course, has a fantastic price because it's branded. While waiting for all the shopping, Alesha and Alden were invited to sit down, they even brought hot tea and snacks. "Sir, we have got everything," the store employee said, carrying what Alden had asked for. "Nice," Alden complimented the way they worked. "You try," Alden said. "Huh? All, sir?" asked Alesha, her eyes widening perfectly. "Yes," replied Alden lightly. In the end, Alesha didn't want to obey Alden. Tried one by one and really fit and very beautiful worn by Alesha. Alesha also tried on the dress requested by Alden, it seems that Alden is also satisfied.

"Now let's go." Evie could barely believe the wonders that greeted her eyes when they stepped into the massive store Sam had brought her to. She'd never seen anything like it, except on television and she wasn't sure she believed it then. The place was enormous, carrying everything from fresh fruit to clothing to tools, not to mention any number of things she couldn't identify at all. Sam talked her into purchasing a denim jacket and a pair of canvas tennis shoes. She wiggled her toes as she tried them on - how soft and comfortable they were. On their way out, he picked up a bottle of wine and a chocolate cake, asking her if there was anything else she wanted.

After entering the store, he immediately studied the entire store carefully. The store was very special because it had all sorts of items in it. At a glance, it seemed that the store had everything that one could think of. On top of that, every item that was on display looked vintage. Looking at the items in the store, it was as if every one of them had their own stories. More importantly, there were no store assistants who were watching over this shop. There was a sign at the counter near the door with some words written on it, "As long as you like it, you can take it away. Just pay as you see fit."

I sign at the bottom, and have somewhere to stay. He shows me around the shop next, and teaches me how to operate the cash register. There isn't a stock room. If it isn't on the shelves then it isn't in stock. Most of what's there is prepackaged groceries, candy, chips, soda, beer, liquor, tobacco, magazines and newspapers, along with a few cheap plastic toys. The top shelf of magazines has a lot of front-cover pictures of naked women, with a few naked men for variety. I feel myself blush, and look away.

"Did you forget who pulled you out of obscurity and put you in the CEO's chair at Starbuzz Entertainment? Who gave you everything you're standing on today?" Every word carried clearly across the beach. The people who had been flattering Gloria earlier now looked at her with open contempt. Gloria had nothing left to say. Her face went ashen. She collapsed onto the sand, covering her face as she sobbed uncontrollably. I turned to Archer and gave another order. "Notify Thorne Enterprise's legal and audit divisions immediately.
