CHAPTER 18

  TITLE: SURPRISED BY SOMEONE

  Emily heard the loudest thumped of her heart and when she was turning the knob and saw a pair of shoes that was now in front of her. She pressed her eyes as she was caught inside the room. Slowly she looked at the person in front of her and was surprised by it.

  “I just burrowed a shirt,” Emily said in defensed to herself.

  An old woman was standing in front of her now, wearing an A-Line Dress with printed brown stripes and paired with a black leather belt on the waistline. Emily was stunned by her looks, although her skin could tell her age the way she dressed up was enough for her to look young. The woman was also wearing a simple heirloom necklace with a green stone on it.

  “Who are you?” the woman sarcastically asked and looked at her from head to toe.

  “Uh... I’m Emily Smith.” she smiled and kissed her hand as a sign of respect to elders.
