My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 1984

Having no other choice, I took a fifty dollar bill and placed it on the counter before taking the cake and leaving.

As I walked out, I thought about how strange the store manager was.

The store manager was a young man. When he moved his headphones, his other hand was hidden in his jacket pocket.

There didn't seem to have been many customers at the mall as I entered with Hendrix earlier.

I felt a slight panic in my heart. As I noticed how relaxed Hendrix was, I calmed down and reassured myself that I was simply overthinking things.

The bell at the door of the cake store dinged as I walked out. That's when the closest elevator opened and a man dressed in a cap and camouflaged uniform stepped out. He walked in our direction.

I didn't think much of it, I just tugged on Hendrix's sleeve and walked up the escalator. The floor wasn't crowded at all, and the camouflaged guy seemed to have his eye on us. As soon as he spotted us, he headed towards the escalator next to US.

The anxiety in my heart caused me to start breathing rapidly.
