"Grandma, you look very beautiful, I'll tell Kyle to bring the Clothes to you when I've fixed the buttons" Alice released a wide and sweet smile to their customers as she shows thier clothes.

She was sitting at rhe front desk, her sewing machine and other equipments were there.

She had bought a shop to her name and brought fashion design instruments with the money she collected from Serena and Judy.

Their family has been operating the shop for almost five months now and the business was doing well. She was now well known and popular within the province as the tailor.

The basic features of he big shop were, section where clothing materials are sold, she also sold ready made Clothes that are made in companies and she lists them with a manquin. She also had a section where there were several fashion equipments for some girls that came learn the trade.

She walked towards the Clothing materials section and saw two ladies that came to buy somethings giggled at the TV she had placed there.

Alice creased her forehead and followed their gazes. It was Enzo's interview on a talk show as the youngest successor and CEO of the largest and most diversified conglomerate in the country.

Alice smiled adoringly as she stared at his handsome face in the screen.

For the past five months, she was stalking his whereabouts through the internet and will find or see him only at interviews like this or him being featured in magazines.

'You did great. I am happy you are doing well.' She said silently as she continued to stare admiringly like the two girls sitting on the couch.

After a while, she left the area and walked towards the training area. Her shop were surrounded by several other stores that sells music cassette, a restaurant and otheer bussiness.

Upon checking everything out and making sure that everything is in good shape, she walked back to the sewing machine and patted it's head lovingly.

"It's been six months already. Three more months to go Alice. Then I can go and see Camilla and show her that I have my own shop now" she murmured then followed by a deep long sigh.

She was startled when she felt warm hands on her shoulders.

"Hey there, a penny for your thoughts?" A familiar voice from her back asked.

Alice turned her head as she sharply stared at the hands on her shoulders.

The man laughed and said, "Oops, sorry. I forgot about your claws."

It was Shawn, he was a tourist at the province. He said he was a sightseer, he goes to different provinces for tour. But he became stuck at Fairfield province Because he found an interesting fashion designer. One of his hobbies was to pester her around like this.

"Stop frowning or you will shoo away customers, besides I am one of those loyal ones." He said still laughing.

Alice just showed him a made face and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"Just now, I look straight for you because I miss you already." Shawn said straightforwardly and sat beside her.

"Miss my butt. Get lost! You are bothering my privacy." she hissed.

Shawn had asked her for a date before her but she had turned him down. However, the guy was persistent and was maintaining his visits every month although he works and lives in the City.

She actually does not know much about him since she doesn't bother to ask but she can feel that he was a good person. He was someone whom she can treat as a good friend.

"You're always mean at me. Anyway, I take that as a good sign. I know and feel that you are very comfortable with my presence. I will go now before your claws appear and scratch me." He said then blinked an eye at her before leaving with a loud laugh.

Alice inhaled and exhaled loudly then blew an air on her forehead.

She can't move on, she can't even see herself being in a relationship at this time yet after what had happened.

Though it was true that she was comfortable with Shawn and likes him, but it's definitely not the same with Enzo. Her feelings for Enzo were deep.

'Just how deep Alice? Is it love already?' she asked herself silently then sighed once more.

"Sir, everything is ready. We are just waiting for your signal." Personal Assistant Tony said as he looked to his President.

In five months time, the President had proved himself worthy of the position to take over the company.

As per his agreement with Old Mr Clinton, all the details needed regarding Alice were provided in an instant including the culprit who dared mess with him by blackmailing Alice.

After some days that Alice left, Serena canen to him and tried pacifying him by making some advances, and Judy trying to touch him Severally but failed.

However, the President wanted to deal with his first love first and not the culprit.

According to the President, he will deal on the culprit later on as he wanted to see how far that person can go just to mess with him.

So right now, his only and main focus was to get back to his wife

"We will travel now." Personal Assistant Tony heard the President spoke.

"Noted Sir," he answered and quickly left the room. He had learned his lesson. He was more proactive and more reliable because the President had given him a second chance.

Personal Assistant Tony left, Enzo smirked as he stared at Alice's photos in his computer.

"I told you, you won't get away with me that easily, Alice Lewiston" Enzo murmured.
