Mini Panic at The Grocery Store

The very next day after Stella and Skylar morning class they parted ways with Skylar ran for her life from their Business faculty building to the lecturer building to meet up with Mdm Cat who she has an appointment with but before they parted ways Stella grabs Skylar's arms.

"Do you need me to pick you up after your appointment with your date Mdm Cat?" asked Stella jokingly.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny, I'm laughing so hard right now" said Skylar in a bored tone while rolling her eyes at her best friend who laughs at her.

"No thanks, Lucian will pick me up and then we'll head out for a bit. Oh, yea, don't wait up love, you know youngsters like myself will come home late and you old lady need to sleep early" add Skylar while laughing at her own statement.

"Fuck you," said Stella as she gives Skylar the middle finger while shaking her head in a disapproved manner.

"Okay then I got to go now, it's almost 2 pm and my car surely on its way to our penthouse. Bye babe and tell Lucian that I say thanks for the ride this morning" said Stella as she started to walk towards the main entrance gate as her cab already waited for her.

"Okay, bye," said Skylar as she dashes towards the lecturer building.

Stella hops inside the cab and heads back to her place where her car arrived at the same time as her so she quickly pays the cab guy and walks over to her car.

"Miss Stella?" asked the guy who drop the car off.

"Yes" answer Stella in a short and business tone.

"This is your key Miss," said the guy as he hands over the car key to Stella who extends her hands out.

"Thank You and here's your tip," said Stella as she gives him a 100 before she hops inside her car and ignites the engine.

"Thank you miss," said the guy as he closes the door for Stella.

"Wait what is this?" asked Stella to herself as she spotted the bouquet and an expensive box of wine bottle sitting on top of the passenger's seat.

"Wait, where's that guy. Why is he disappear so fast?" asked Stella to herself as she murmurs her words while looking around trying to find him while she still seating inside her car.

As she was puzzled with the expensive gifts she quickly fishes out her phone from her bag and calls Lucian.

"Hello Lucian, can you give me the number of the owner or the repair establishment of the place where you sent my car too?" asked Stella as she presses the loudspeaker and put it on top of her thigh before she reaches over to the passenger's seat to grab the wine box.

"Why? Did they do something to your car?" asked Lucian at the other end of the call.

"No, nothing like that. I just want to ask something that's all" reply Stella as she admires the beautiful yet delicate design of the box that has her initials in it.

"Then what happens?" asked Lucian.

"Nothing bad happens, hey Lucian I just want to ask something. If I sent my car to its own company right, will they give stuff to their customer? Like.. erm... I don't know probably a flower or something? Will they? Do they?" asked Stella as she sniffs the box and runs her finger on her engrave name together with the other engraves alphabet that was at the end of the box in a smaller font.

"No of course they will not. Wait! Someone put a flower inside the car?" asked Lucian in a bright voice.

"Okay, thanks Lucian and bye," said Stella as she quickly hangs up before her phone dinged with a text from Lucian.

"Fuck, what a bad idea to ask him. He's nosier than Sky" murmur Stella as she shakes her head while admiring the wine box.

Lucian: Who is it?

Lucian: Who's the sender?

Lucian: Did you secretly dating behind our back?

Lucian: Is he someone from the company?

Lucian: Tell me, Stella, don't hang me on reading.

Lucian: Did the sender put a card on it?

*Lucian is typing*

Stella: Calm down Lucian.

Lucian: I'm so going to tell Skylar about this and we both will scoop whatever information left in you.

*Lucian is typing*

Stella: Will tell you once you and Skylar at home. For now, bye.

*Lucian is typing*

Stella: Lucian you are nosier than a gossipy woman.

Lucian: Fine. Bye.

Stella shakes her head and smiles at Lucian's attitude who didn't suit his appearance at all. Right after the text she put the box aside and drove off to the nearest grocery store to get some grocery for them.

After 30 minutes of driving from her place to the grocery store, Stella then exits her car and walk over to the store. Upon inside the place she walks over to the trolley area and pull one trolley out and walk at the chips aisle first.

She grabs random chips and snacks for the 3 of them before she head over to another aisle and grabs a couple of items. After that, she heads over to the wet isle where she picks some meat up and put inside her trolley but as she spotted the last rib eye she marches over and quickly trying to grab it before someone took it away while leaving her trolley to abandon beside the butcher side.

Stella quickly extends her arms to grab the rib eye, as she holds the rib eye packet at the right end at the same time another hand was also grabbing onto the same rib eye packet at the left end of it, in which make Stella look up at the stranger.

They both made eye contact and something like a small electric flow at her fingertips which makes her let go of the packet at the same time the stranger too let go of the same packet of rib eye.

"You can have it," said the stranger who wears a mask, in his low silky smooth voice in which makes Stella feel shivers down her spine.

"Thank you," said Stella as she quickly grabs the rib eye, turns around and marches toward her trolley without looking back and quickly push towards the check out counter.

Upon reaching the check out counter the same stranger stand in line behind her with his small basket of food in which makes Stella look another way instead of at him.

She swiftly put her stuff on top of the belt and then put it back inside the trolley before she pays for her grocery and out from the place as quick as possible.

Stella then finished unloading her grocery with the help of the store assistant who willing to help her although her grocery wasn't that much.

As soon as they finished putting everything inside the car boot, Stella gives 100 tips to the boy who helped her and quickly hop inside her car as she saw the stranger walk towards her.

She quickly locks her door and ignites the car engine then straight away slowly pull out from the parking lot while the stranger slowly walks over to his car, unlock his sports car that was parked beside her and casually hop inside the car while Stella feels extremely stupid at her own action as she zooms out from that place.
