The Love Blanket Mr. President
Shopping Time

Whispers and laughter filled Dante Morgan's luxury car. The two women who were passengers that day were very busy talking about this and that. Sometimes, if one woman teases the driver and makes the driver's face become red.

"But I see you're quite happy to be there, Angel?" ask the woman in bright clothes to beat the sunshine.

"I'm just trying to enjoy what I'm doing, madam. I mean, if I put it all in my heart, I'd go crazy. Looks like Mrs Morgan told me all her husband's friends about me" Angel said. "I could feel from the people's gazes at me when I was invited by Mr. Morgan to come to an event,"

"Sometimes harass me, like Frank. It turns out that the men in our place are more dignified than the men in the big city," the beautiful girl continued as she brushed her brown hair back.

Madam Sienna nodded her head. He had imagined that his foster child would be frightened and his confidence would disappear and in the near future, would ask to go home. His guess turned out to be true, only, Angel chose to stay until the task was completed. "You've been great, honey. You have 8 more days left, are you able to continue your work?"

Angel nodded steadily. "Yes, I've been through all the shitty stuff in this town pretty well. So I guess, 8 days would be easy to get through,"

"You are my son" said Madam Sienna, embracing Angel and giving her reinforcement.

Before long, the car arrived at the shopping center. Along the way it is filled with shops as well as boutiques and there are several coffee shops there as well.

"Aren't you coming with us, Dave?" ask Angel to Dante's driver.

Dave shook his head with a timid face. "No need, Miss. I'll wait in that little bar over there. You see?"

Angel and Madam Sienna poked their heads following the direction that Dave pointed at, then they both nodded. After that they split up.

"Where did you start?" ask Angel. That day, Angel wore a blue tanktop with a low hemisphere and combined with a black denim jacket and matching thigh-top shorts and his favorite white sneakers.

They both started to enter a shop. But the store staff did not greet them kindly.

"I've been here with my girlfriend and I bought a lot of stuff from your store! You remember my face?" angel asked, pointing at his own face. Angel had been to the store with Dante. The service they provide is very different from today.

One of the employees smiled and approached Angel, he grabbed her by the shoulder and led her out of the store. "Sorry, Miss, but we don't have what you're looking for. Maybe the one that suits your style is in another store,"

"Hey! Oi! Whatchu mean! You forgot my face?" sue Angel and she felt very offended when the employee kicked her out. "Bad! I'm going bankrupt and you're falling into poverty to have to sell yourself to old grandparents just to get a bite of rice! Catch that!"

Madam Sienna's face also looked irritated. He chided the employees at the store who saw them while shaking their heads and smiling scornfully.

"What kind of people are they! Could've kicked us out like that!" knock Madam Sienna with a huff.

The people around the shop noticed them, some were paying attention in passing, but most of them, paused for a moment to notice what was going on. The first store they went to was indeed a clothing store with a famous brand. The quality of the clothes is in accordance with the price they provide. Of course when there is a commotion that occurs, all eyes will look to the store to see what happens.

"We're gonna find another store that's better than this fucking store! So arrogant!" hatch Angel.

Madam Sienna stared and watched the people passing by around them, then she thought of something. "Hey, is it possible that our clothes look like cheap women? Just look at the people here, their clothes seem to be going to a party,"

"Is that so? How are we gonna wear those clothes if they don't let us into their store!" answer Angel spicy. The girl was still upset because of the treatment of the employee earlier. "Want me to tear the hair of that ugly officer!"

While continuing to babble and nag, the two of them entered the other store again. A snide look greeted them.

"Good day" said Madam Sienna, who now covered her upper body with a maroon-red sweatshirt.

One of the officers smiled at them. "Good day, mmmm, what can we help you with?"

The clerk watched Angel and Madam Sienna from head to toe, then, he shook his head. "Sorry, we don't have the right size for you guys,"

Upset at being rejected again, Angel spends the money given by Dante. "We have money so please show us your best dress,"

But the employee insisted on shaking his head. "Sorry, miss, but we're not me, ...."

"I'll call my girlfriend!" Angel called Dante. As soon as Dante raised his call, Angel recounted the difficulty of shopping in the city with a voice barely crying.

("Where are you now, honey?") ask Dante. Angel accidentally activated the loudspeaker mode so that the employees of the store heard their conversation.

"I was at Tiffany Boutique. We were from the store you bought all her dresses at and she turned us down. I'm wearing shorts today because it's hot" Angel said.

Dante laughed out loud at Angel's complaint. ("All right, give the phone to the store manager. Let me talk to him, ")

Soon, Angel gave her cell phone to the store clerk. "You hear? Just look until my girlfriend talks to your manager, you're gonna get fired" Angel read the employee's name. "Norah! I'll remember your name!"

After roughly five minutes, a tall and handsome man came to greet them with a super wide smile. "Hello, Miss Beautiful. Forgive our officers. Ah, the dress for the tea party, this is our latest collection. Please be chosen,"

Three rail trolley outfits came with several dresses hanging neatly on each of her troles. Not only clothes, the man also took out their collection of accessories, ranging from hats, gloves, shoes, to jewelry. "Enjoy your time, ladies,"

As they chose, the other staff served sweet treats and warm tea to Madam Sienna and Angel.

The two of them chose those beautiful dresses while smiling cheerfully and occasionally joking with each other. They also decided to change their clothes.

"How, Angel?" ask Madam Sienna who a hundred times looks better with a blazer and a beige dress skirt.

Angel held out both of her thumbs. "You look like a big madam, hahaha!"

Madam Sienna laughed at her foster child's clumsiness. After a few minutes, they both came out of the store with new clothes and carrying a few bags of groceries in their hands. With a haughty and arrogant style, Angel showed off her groceries to the first store that evicted them.

"I'll give you a bad review for this store. Be prepared, you are on the verge of collapse! Ahaha! See you," whispered Angel to the officer who kicked him out earlier.

They both catch up with Dave who is at the bar and after they meet the old man, Angel gives one of his shopping bags to Dave. "This is for you. Hope you like it, Dave,"

Dave received his shopping bag with sparkling eyes. "This is for me? Thank you, Miss. Well, during my work, it was the first time I got a special gift like this. Thank you very much, Miss,"

"How was it today?" ask Angel.

"There's nothing better than this, Angel. Thank you for everything today" said Madam Sienna. Then he again reminded the time Angel had. "You have 8 days left. Make the most of it and what if Morgan doesn't let you go home?"

Angel speechless. There's no way Dante's gonna hold it, is there? He also shakes. "I'll be back. It's hard to stay here, madam. After all, Mr. Morgan is not mine and he still loves his wife,"

Silence was in Dante's luxury car after Angel said that. Suppose, Dante Morgan is a man who does not have a wife, maybe Angel will let his feelings develop.

"Yes, there's no way she's holding me back any longer, Madam," said Angel, then she took a deep breath and leaned against her foster mother's arm. "I'll be back,"
