The Verdict Day

The quick footsteps caused the sales ladies to look at the little boy who was running towards the resting area holding a charcoal-colored, knitted scarf. 

They looked at each other and realized they were following the wrong person all along. The real customer was the kid. Their envious gaze went on the woman who was following the little boy with a graceful smile. 

Zane climbed on the couch grabbing Alvin's attention from his mobile. He wrapped the scarf around Alvin's neck.

Alvin: "…"

Zane smiled looking at the scarf. He never saw Alvin wearing bright colors so he picked a charcoal shade of black. Satisfied, he looked at the saleslady who helped him, "Excuse me, I will buy this. Please pack it for me." He said.

Other sales ladies: "..."

"Sure, sir." The saleslady smiled and waited for Zane to remove the scarf and hand it to her.
