One of the n said, "I just saw her walk into this store. You go in and search; I’ll stand guard at the entrance!"
"Okay!" The other man imdiately ran into the store.
At this mont, the man was less than ten ters away from Sumr Monroe.
Sumr quickly turned her head and walked towards the other shelves.
Coincidentally, there was a girl next to the shelf doing her makeup.
Sumr walked over and softly asked, "Miss, could I borrow your makeup for a mont?"
The girl looked up and t Sumr’s gaze.
The next instant, the girl’s eyes widened in amazent.
So beautiful!
"Can I borrow it?" Sumr pointed to the makeup in the girl’s hand.
The girl nodded repeatedly, handing the makeup to her while saying, "Miss, you look so pretty. Have I seen you sowhere? Are you a celebrity?"
While applying the makeup, Sumr answered, "Thank you, but I’m not a celebrity."
She applied the makeup quickly, especially the eyeshadow, using an extrely bold purple that matched her purple hip-hop outfit, but in the mirror, she looked nothing like herself.
The girl looked at Sumr after she finished and couldn’t help but kindly remind her, "Miss, you look better without makeup. This look doesn’t suit you; it hides your original features."
Sumr smiled faintly; this was exactly the effect she wanted.
She looked in the mirror, satisfied with her transford appearance.
Handing the makeup back to the girl, Sumr then said, "Thank you for the makeup. May I treat you to a cup of milk tea?"
Everyone has a love for beauty, and the girl happily nodded, "Sure!"
"Then co with to pay, and I’ll treat you to milk tea."
The girl made an "OK" gesture, and Sumr naturally linked arms with her. Together, they walked shoulder to shoulder towards the cashier.
The man who ca in looking for Sumr was also walking in their direction, and they passed each other by.
Sumr slightly turned her head to avoid direct eye contact with the man.
The man glanced her way briefly before continuing to search the adjacent shelves.
Sumr let out a small breath of relief and, after paying, led the girl towards the exit.
Another man was standing guard at the door.
Sumr leaned her head on the girl’s shoulder, avoiding looking at the man, and took out her phone to ask, "What kind of milk tea would you like? What kinds does this mall have?"
"Let’s have fresh fruit tea. I’m dieting recently."
"You’re already so slim, and you’re still dieting?"
"You’re one to talk; you’re slim too."
The two of them chatted naturally.
The man at the door paid them no mind, his eyes fixed on the store interior.
As they brushed past him, Sumr felt her heart leap into her throat.
Although she’d only seen two pursuers so far and felt she could handle them, she had no idea if more were coming. Remaining undiscovered was for the best.
Finally, Sumr passed by the man.
But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the man’s voice suddenly rang out, "Hey! You two, did you see a little girl in a white dress run inside?"
Sumr’s back tensed up; she didn’t turn her head.
The girl next to her turned and glanced at the man, answering, "Sorry, I didn’t notice."
"Oh, okay." The man didn’t co over; he responded with one sentence and continued watching the store interior.
Sumr let out a long breath of relief, quickening her pace with the girl away from the clothing store.
After turning two corners, Sumr let go of the girl’s hand, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from her pocket, handed it to the girl, and apologetically said, "I just rembered I have sothing to do. Consider this money for the milk tea. I’ll treat you next ti we have a chance."
With that, she stuffed the money into the girl’s hand and quickly ran off without a mont’s hesitation.
