Timeless Mall; 10:56am

Due to a week day, the mall was not as packed and hectic as the weekend.

Walking around with the heels from her boots clacking on the floor, Lisa leisurely took her sweet time shopping.

She held the handles of three shopping bags in each hand. Each bag was stamped with designer brands.

Lisa stopped in front of the mall directory and looked for a store.

It was her first time here, so it was only natural that she needed directions.

Besides, she wasn't here to shop only for herself.

She wanted to buy gifts.

"Ah hah!" She pointed to a store on the directory, 'Essence'.

She smiled and looked away from the mall directory and started walking in the direction of the last store on her mind.

Lisa however, did not notice, or rather, she didn't pay attention to all the head turns she caused from both men and women.

Even workers couldn't help but step out of their stores to get a second glance.

Her beauty was natural and captivating. And the peaceful aura emitting from her makes one think of the Greek goddess, Eirene.

Two girls chatted and giggled after Lisa walked pass them.

Girl 1: "Did you see how pretty and tall that woman was?"

Girl 2: "Yea! She's sooo beautiful! Even her outfit! It was so~ chic! She looks just like goddess Lisa ! Wait, is she..?"

Girl 1: "They do look alike... no, no way. I doubt our goddess would ever appear in a mall alone."

Girl 2: "But their eyes... I feel like it's the same colors."

Of course, the two girls didn't think that the woman they just saw was actually the same goddess they admire.

The two girls continued to chat while Lisa was oblivious as ever.

She was never one to care for attention.

This was a reason why she kept a low profile even though she was world known model. She wanted the ability to walk out in public without attracting attention.

Her face may be in magazines, advertisements and on billboards, but nowadays, people can go under surgery or cover themselves with makeup to look like someone.

She leisurely continued to walk on.

Coming to a stop, she stood in front of the store 'Essence'.

Without any hesitation, she enters the gold double doors.

The sound of her shopping bags shuffling pass the doors made quite a noise that caught the attention of the workers and customers inside.

"....."

Lisa wanted to cry, because she understood the stares.

It was really quiet inside and what just happened as she walked in was even louder than the music playing.

A girl worker walks up to Lisa with a polite smile.

"Good morning miss, can I help you find anything?"

Lisa looked at the way all the girl workers dressed.

Their white button down blouse was tucked neatly in their navy blue knee length pencil skirts. Even their hair was styled the same into a high bun.

The red scarf around their neck reminded her of flight attendants.

She smiled to the worker, "Thank you, but I just want to take a look around."

The girl smiles back politely, "Okay. Feel free to let me or any of the other workers know if you need help with anything."

She turned around back to work while Lisa strolled through the store looking at the items on each fixtures and shelves.

'Essence' is a store that sells both men and woman clothing and shoes. The only difference in this store and other stores was the expensive price tags.

The lowest price was a set of silver earrings costing at 7,000 yuan.

Others may think the price was too high in the store, but as a fashion designer, she knew that all the materials for each items were the best of the best.

Suddenly, from the corner of her eyes, she sees a mannequin wearing a lavender mermaid dress of lace design.

She raised one hand to couch the dress, to feel the material used to design such nicely made dress.

But, before her hand could touch the dress, a girl's voice squealed at the side of her.

"I want this dress!!"
