Chapter 25: Chapter 25
They arrived at the mall but before they exited the bus, the bus driver said, "I will return at half four and we will be leaving promptly at five. If you are not in the bus by five this afternoon then you would have to find your own way back to the hotel. Go enjoy your shopping," and then they all left the bus.
Angel first started at the cosmetic store that Miss Carter showed to and bought the cosmetics in the same brand that Miss Carter had advised them too. After the cosmetic store she then went to the underwear stores and a shoe store. After buying a few of the things in the list she started to feel hungry, so she went to a bakery that she saw in the same floor and bough two cheese pies and a bottle of orange juice.
When Angel was heading up to the second floor she saw the lawyer and was about to approach him when she saw Leo walking and talking with him. 'Why is Leo here? And what could he be talking to the lawyer about?' but then she thought again, 'I remember he said that he was my trainer because of my scholarship. Maybe he is making sure all my documents are going through since I have already reached the fifth round.'
Angel was about to walk away when she heard, "Angel?" Angel turned around and saw Ricardo, one of her classmates, "What are you doing here?" he asked her.
"Oh, I came to drop of the scholarship package I received recently, what about you?"
"I also got a scholarship for my degree. I see that you are doing some shopping," he said as he pointed the bags.
"Oh that, well …" she paused what she was saying as she saw Leo looking at her and he seemed angry or vex about something and she felt guilty, 'Why should I feel guilty about talking to a classmate? It is not like if Leo and I are in a relationship or that he is angry that I am talking to someone? Right?'
"Well?" Ricardo asked and bring her back to their conversation.
"Well, since I am in this mall I decided to buy a few things for my family."
"Hello, who are you?" a very angry and masculine voice said from the siding of Ricardo.
"Who are you?" Ricardo asked.
"I asked first, I saw you talking to my girlfriend," Leon said.
"Angel is he your boyfriend?" Ricardo asked.
"No," Angel said and was about to say he was a friend but Ricardo cut her off.
"She said you are not her boyfriend, it must mean you are here to cause some trouble," Ricardo said.
"What about you? Who are you to her?" Leon asked and he was angrier now since Angel denied her relationship with him.
"I am her classmate and intending to become her boyfriend, what about you."
"Angel White?" Angel heard Mr. Frank's voice.
"Mr. Frank, good to see you."
"Miss White what are you doing in the mall? I thought you returned home," Mr. Frank said.
"Oh, I am just doing some mandatory shopping," Angel said as she raised her hands to show the bags and smiled.
"I see you know Mr. Brooke and Mr. Black," Mr. Frank said and pointed the two of them.
"Oh, Ricardo is a classmate of mine, but we are studying two different degrees, and Leo, he is a good friend," Angel said to prevent any misunderstanding.
"Oh I am sorry. I thought you was bothering my friend," Leon said to clear up the misunderstanding as he understood what Mr. Frank was trying to do.
"I apologize as well. Angel if you need any help with your things I could assist you and maybe we could get some things that we may need in Country A when we get there," Ricardo apologized to Leon first and then started talking to Angel like if Leon was not there.
"I could help as well, since I am actually from Country A and I know exactly what you will need," Leon interjected as he hated the idea that another man was pursuing his wife and was afraid that he would lose her.
Before he thought he wouldn't have much competition because he would be spending more time with her but seeing that she would have a colleague from her country with her now and a male as well he already feels like he is losing her.
"That is not really necessary," Angel said to prevent them from going with her.
"I am not taking for an answer," Ricardo said.
"Me neither," Leon said and grabbed the bags in her hand before Ricardo could do that.
"I guess you all could help then," Angel said giving up.
"Where to next?" Ricardo asked.
"Shoes store," Angel answered.
"Okay, look over there, they have some nice shoes," Ricardo said and pointed at a store but is was not one that Miss Carter had showed them too.
"No, I already went there and I don't like their shoes," Leon said, he then saw one of their own stores and said, "Look that one," and pointed at another store.
"Yes, that one," Angel said and smiled since this was the next store she was heading to and started walking in that direction.
Ricardo looked at the happy smile on her face and then looked at the Leo guy that also seemed to be smiling that she choose his choice. 'Seems like I have competition and worst yet, he is from Country A as well. But he seems a bit young for her, maybe he is just like a brother to her then.'
Angel choose a few shoes and showed them to Leo, Ricardo felt left out since she rejected all his opinions and only accepted Leo's opinion which was making him jealous. He wanted a fair competition but it seemed like Angel already preferred Leo over him.
"That is too high," Ricardo said.
