mall inspection
In the house of Whites, the people from London were tired from their travels and the head of the house was drunk.
The day passed with all of them resting. At dinner, everyone was able to adjust and they had a sumptuous meal.

Sunday.
It was supposed to be a rest day but Ming YaoFeng asked Assistant Xu to put something on his schedule for all the days of the week. This happened since he lost the London's living room connection a week ago.
He recalled it was the time his wife was coming to the living room with home wear that day. He was waiting to view his children but she came instead, with a box containing of what looks like a collection of little radios with antennae.
She walked around the house and put some more things on the box. Then she came close to the camera. He thought she was staring straight at him but her brows knitted. Then she moved away and came back with a screwdriver.
It seemed like she's working on something above the camera and he watched her clear face slightly sweating with whatever she's doing. He can clearly see her eyes and eyelashes, when the camera shook for a while before it steadied again.
How he wished she would not finish with what she's doing. She moved away again for a while. When she comes back, she's holding a pair of scissors. The angle of the camera this time was focused on her slightly opened mouth and neck. He was very focused on watching his wife.
He felt like she's seducing him especially when she bit her rosy lips. From time to time, she will flash the screwdriver and scissors as if she's having a hard time fixing or dismantling something.
Then she leaned over, focusing her cleavage on the screen. Ming YaoFeng wanted to cover the screen. As a man, he can't help but be aroused spying on his own wife.
Her face flashed once more on the screen with a successful smile. He didn't know if that was for him, but the line got disconnected after that. He cursed. He felt like she did it on purpose and led him to something he cannot suppress.

Today's schedule is a mall inspection.
It's just a few rounds around and he really doesn't need to be there. The managers are all present and they assist him in inspecting every department.

Yuyu brought the children and Tania to the mall. Together with Sandy and William, they exchanged some money and happily strolled.
Yuyu gave Tania her own money. "This is your pocket money. If there's anything you want, tell me and we will look at it." Tania was a bit shy but her Missy never treated her like a servant but more of a younger sister. She smiled and realized that this family is a great blessing, she would always treasure her role being a part of it.
"You two lovers, if you want, you can stroll on your own, let's meet later after we finished what we wanted to do." Yuyu told the partners.
Sandy complained. "I thought we are all going together?"
"Don't complain. We are going to baby shops and some girly places. William will not be comfortable. Bring him to places for couples. You two can watch movies or play arcades. This will help you gain back memories as well." Yuyu explained dismissively.
Sandy 's eyes twinkled with the idea. "Okay sis! We have a lot of memories to retrieve in places like this! Call us if there's anything!"
The group separated.

Ming YaoFeng did not spend too much time with the different sections of his inspection. The managers are either pleased or disappointed. They put more effort to make an impression but the CEO was just merely looking on those parts, while his attention was more focused on sanitation and safety and stuff they did not focused on during preparation.
He spent longer time on the areas for children. He even surveyed the whole play area and shook each post. He checked almost every ball in the pit as if his eyes had x-ray vision for germs.

Yuyu and Tania passed by a teen shop. They were pushing the strollers and Yuyu saw happiness in the little lady's eyes. "Let's roam around here." She said guiding the stroller on the clothes.
When she was young, Yuyu was very limited to business and formal clothes and she never experienced these trendy fashions. The clothes in the racks seemed fit for Tania's frame and Yuyu fancied three sets of clothing for her.
Tania was looking around not even touching anything but her eyes were satisfied. "Tania, come over here!" She turned when the missy called her.
"Help me with the twins. I need to sit over there." She pointed at the big sofa in a corner.
Tania followed and helped Yuyu with the children. When they settled, Yuyu passed her the clothes. She thought she was supposed to hold it and stood beside them.
"That's the door for fitting. Try those clothes if you like them, nana Luo asked me to buy you something. My brother and sister also, it's a tradition to welcome you home. So you have to tell me if you don't like it so we can change it. We cannot let a good opportunity to rob my siblings." She told her as if making a mischievous deal with her.
Tania cannot believe what she's hearing. "Miss, is it really necessary?" She looked at the price and even though she hadn't converted it to pounds, she knew that these are all expensive.
"You are right. We should go to a more expensive store. It's nor necessary to buy things here. Let's go, the more we get money from them, the better." Yuyu was about to get up when Tania stopped her.
"No, no. Miss. This looks great and expensive already. I'll try them first and tell you if it's okay." She headed to the door.
"Alright, come out after you change. I will judge the clothes." she said.

Sandy and William spent time in the arcade.
William was on autopilot when they reached the place. He cannot believe himself choosing a big cone of ice cream and flavors earlier; his memory is flashing back.
Sandy was looking at him with encouraging eyes. "You are doing it right!"
"I never knew these flavors before! I even hate sweet things.." William was amazed.
"Wait until you taste it. We used to do this with your mother and my other brother. We were all settled at that time and we are very good neighbors. You will soon remember." Sandy smiled supportively.
William paid for the food and the two of them shared it. When the cold food melted on his mouth, the taste of the ice cream enlightened the vision she just mentioned earlier. He saw a very clear flashback of his mother and Sandy and a man. They were all enjoying an ice cream while unloading boxes in a big building.
He eats and eats until the memory sinks in on him. He cannot wait to get all his memory and pay back the people who played him. William has found his retired professor who could help him. It only needs a few more weeks now.

Two hours passed swiftly. Tania attached the shopping bags on the built in holder of the stroller.
The underneath compartment was already full with the baby stuff and her stuff they bought.
"Missy, I think Soleil is not well." She told Yuyu while passing a bottle of milk to Lune.
Yuyu immediately touched her son and he was slightly having a fever.
She immediately dialed Sandy's number.
"Soleil has fever. Meet me at the west elevator, I will wait for you." Yuyu instructed.
"Okay." Sandy agreed.
Yuyu took Soleil from the stoller and carried him. "Tania, can you push by yourself?" she asked worriedly.
"It's okay Missy. Let me just adjust this," she said as she folded Soleil's corner and made the stroller slim down into a single baby trolley. She made sure that Lune was well as she pushed beside her.
They walk towards the elevator.
"I hope William and Sandy come soon," Yuyu pressed the elevator which is currently at the top floor. If they cannot reach her soon, she will just meet them at the parking lot as the couple can use any escalator in the mall. She just cannot leave Tania with a stroller alone.
The elevator soon opened and she peered on the floor. There's enough space for the stroller and she sighed, she's very worried that her son is a bit hot. "Tania, get in first, I will hold the door for you." She did not mind the other passengers that were already inside the lift as she's already busy with her little company.
(As common courtesy, unless they are disabled, they should give way to people like them who have children and strollers.)
