Lisa had been standing in front of the glass door of an elegant store for more than half an hour. That afternoon, she had done two tattoos, a fierce red and orange dragon on a boy's back and a beautiful, delicate flower on a young girl's leg, had helped Tina improve her eyeliner, had spoken to Jennie on the phone, had She had to hang out in the bathroom for a long time because of the things Jennie had told her on the phone and she had finally argued again with Matthew about her little commitment to work. After that she just grabbed her wallet and left the studio without saying anything to anyone. She came to the place where she was standing now and tilting her head she stared at the "Tiffany & Co." entrance sign. And there it remained for a long time.

- Excuse me... - A blonde woman with a perfect ponytail pulled back, with a very small waist and dressed in an impeccable black suit approached her. According to Lisa's calculations, she should be between 35 and 40 years old.

Lisa looked at her immediately making her neck ache - Excuse me, I... I... I... just looked... looked... please don't call the police - the least she wanted was to end up locked up and have to call Jennie to get her out .

- Do not be alarmed miss - the woman calmed her - My name is Julian and I work here - she explained - I was inside inspecting the premises, checking that everything is in order and when I got close to the window I saw you looking at the entrance sign - she pointed the letters carved on the stone of the entrance - At first I thought you was one of those tourists who are impressed or who just want a photo with a famous brand but... - the woman looked at her watch - you have already been there for almost forty minutes here - detailed.

Lisa nervously scratched her neck - I'm... sorry ... is that... is that ...

- Maybe I can help You with something - the woman could not help feeling intrigued by the blonde.

Lisa stared at the woman with her unmistakable pose, the lady's gaze was not lying, she really wanted to help - Do you... do you ... have any tattoos? - It was important for Lisa to know.

The woman looked at her confused but amused - I don't want to imagine what my father would say if I had one - obviously that was a no to the answer.

Lisa frowned - "Your... your father doesn't like them?" - Asked used to this type of reaction.

The woman shook her head - Getting a tattoo for him is like amputating a part of the skin. He always told my sister and me "The skin is the first barrier that human beings have against bacteria, you have to take care of it more than any other organ" - she imitated her father's voice - But now that I see you... - looked at Lisa's tattooed arms - And I see you very healthy ... I guess that throws my father's theory into the trash can - she said convinced.

Lisa lowered her head in regret that she hadn't worn a long-sleeved shirt that day. She always does it when she is not in the studio, but when she left her house in the morning she never thought that she was now going to be standing in front of one of the most famous jewelers in the world.
