Meanwhile, the right hand worker who oversees the affairs of Maame's shops in her absence was organizing the workers to clean up the shop when Adwoa walked in to the salon to style her hair and met them doing the exercise. She was offered a chair outside the salon to sit and relax as they cleared up the shop and made it ready for service. Shirley called Adwoa in as they chitchat for a while and Adwoa told her the style and color of the hair she wants. Two other workers joined in to help Shirley braid Adwoa's hair.
Adwoa: Where's my sister?
Shirley: They've gone to visit Abena in school.
Adwoa: Ooh okay, I didn’t know about it. That's fine anyways, do you know if she'll come back to the shop after the visit?
Shirley: I can't give a precise answer but if she gets back home on time, I'm sure she'd come over.
Adwoa: ooh okay, how long will it take for you to finish my hair. I have a date with my husband so let me look young and pretty.
They all laughed heartily...
Shirley: we'll be done when you least expected, please relax and feel comfortable.
They talked about random things and Adwoa paced about for a while when she feels tired. She stood with her mouth agape staring at her reflection in the mirror. She was truly mesmerized by the transformation, she gave the girls thumbs-up and mouthed wow. She sorted them out and bid them goodbye as she left for the supermarket to grab some groceries, from there she set of to the house...
She took her shower and put on an elegant black gown coupled with accessories and a touch of perfume, she headed to the address that was sent to her. She caused heads turn with her beauty, elegance and aura.
A waiter spilled wine on a customer because he lost focus as Adwoa's look enveloped him and transported him to a new world.
The customer surprisingly didn't get pissed as he was in the same shoes as the waiter. Adwoa finally saw her table and with a wave, he called her over. He pulled out her chair and made sure she sat comfortable before moving back to his seat. Calling the waiter over, he requested for her favourite red wine. They went through the menu together, taking sips from their wine and laughing heartily as their conversation was getting interesting... They finally came to a conclusion with respect to the meal and ordered. As he kept teasing her about her grand entrance and complimenting her new look...he couldn't take his eyes of her....
