Lucy's pov

"Good morning Lucy" My boss shy whispered

"Morning" I greeted

"Okay so make outfits for the display case and then staring hanging our new shipment up" she said quietly and I nodded

"Right away boss" and I made my way to the back. Boxes of clothing labeled pants shirts ties ect...

I opened the boxes and began to look through outfits

I chose three, One was a black suit outfit with dark red rose imprint dress-shirt and black tie, the second one was black dress pants with a white shirt with light blue lines and dark blue tie and last but not least was my favourite. It was a black suit jacket with lines down the side the shirt was dark pink and matched with a white tie and dress pants.

They looked..nice

....

Dressing was easy, my job was easy.
Did I love my job so far? Yes duh

But what I didn't love was when a player with bright orange hair walked in and asked me to help with pick a suit.

He wasn't the ugly pumpkin in the patch but definitely not my type you know just screamed one night stand regardless I help him, he said he'd be back for my number.

Oh boy.

"Lucy"Yukino calked from the back and I looked

"Yeah" I yelled walking to where she was.

She was placing ties on a display and looked at me.

"I need you close up tonight, please and thank you" she smiled, how could you say no to her. She's so sweet and she paid me.

"Yes ma'am" I saluted and walked back to the dress pants.

...

It was a slow day not very busy but it was good none the less, it was about 9pm and Yukino left for an appointment and I was cleaning up.

Fixing shoes on a rack and placing them to look better

The door chimed and I didn't look up

"Good evening welcome to IG.Suits and tailoring, My name is Lucy how many I help you" I recited the greeting Yukino taught me.

"Well for one look at your customer so they feel welcomed and then you have a smile." A deep scary voice said. My head snapped up.

The owner of the store walked in, his red eyes stared into my soul.

"H-hi sir, how m-may I help you" I stuttered and bowed.

"Don't worry about it now" He scowled.

He walked around and turned the display mannequins and hummed, he walked over to the display case were yunkino had ties and grabbed a black bow tie, He removed the white tie I had and placed that instead.

I looked at the mannequin I made. The bow tie made the shirt less and suit it's self more  put together. But I felt like the shirt stood out enough on it's own?

" I can agree with you make a statement but if you're going to make one, do it properly "He looked at me and I nodded.

He walked around more with a satisfied huff he sat down on the chair behind the cashier desk.

I looked at the old man, He had bright red haired but you could see his black roots, he was tall but lean.
He looked like he could crush you but he also had that billionaire vibe.

"That pink outfit would look nice on my son" The man said fiddling with the white tie.

I looked about him and then my outfit...WAIT THE OLD MAN HAD A SON?

"You're son?" I asked and he looked at me puzzled

"Do you not watch the news dear, do you even know who I am?" The man asked

I looked at him again...nope not raining any bells

"No sir" i admitted and he began to laugh

"Ooh that, that right there makes an old man happy" he chuckled!?

What the fuck happened to the scary guy that hired me!?

"Why?" I asked and he smiled

"Because I don't have to be scary dear I'll let you in on a secret, I'm a happy old man not a scary billionaire. With be a billionaire you've gotta put on a facade and make it seem you not a push over" The old man explained

"It's a mask" I said and he nodded

"Exactly we all wear one and it helps with either confidence or control, My son wears one of confidence and I wear one for control" he said bringing up his son again.

"Now dear why do you wear one?" He asked and I froze

"Huh?
