Chapter 21 - Spender and Miser

While the three men were talking about business at the Gonzales Mansion, the four people who went to the mall have just arrived at the mall's parking lot.

"Grandma where do you want to go first?" Ayesha asked her grandma.

"Let's eat breakfast first, I'm already famished because I haven't had consumed any solid food, I was looking forward eating here." Grandma Alicia said to the three.

"Ok Grandma, I have a restaurant to suggest, they serve delicious food there." Kier said and went out to asisst the old lady out.

Ayesha and Aria also went out from the car. Kier lead the way and they arrived at the restaurant where Kier have suggested. They sat down and the manager of the restaurant personally approach them.

"Good Morning Mr. Ventura." He said as soon as he have reached the table where Kier is sitting.

"We will take the special menu today. And also please prepare some herbal tea for my grandma." Kier said.

"Alright Mr. Ventura." the manager said and made his way to the kitchen.

"Are you a regular customer here dear Kier?" Grandma Alicia asked Kier.

"I actually own this place Grandma." Kier confessed. Which made Aria and Ayesha's eyes big. They don't actually know that he had build his own restaurant.

"Oh good thing, you are already very successful now. I bet many girls where head over heels for you." Grandma teased him.

"Oh grandma it is actually the opposite, he have been head over heels to someone." Aria spill the beans and Kier just glared at him while Ayesha let out a giggle.

"Who is that lucky girl." Grandma asked Kier.

"You mean unlucky girl Grandma." Aria uttered as she continue teasing his own brother.

"Don't tease your brother Aria, I bet that girl is very lucky because your brother is not only handsome but also talented and successful." Grandma praised Kier. While they are happily talking and teasing, the food came in. There where various of dishes, from seafoods to meats and desserts.

"Ok let's eat." Grandma Alicia said. The three dig in to there foods.

"Grandma here is your herbal tea." Kier handed a tea cup with a herbal tea inside to Grandma Alicia, and the old woman accepted it.

Ayesha was just quite the entire time, she is actually saving her energy because she knew that her Grandma would drag them after they have eaten.

After they have eaten, they stayed for a minute while Kier is paying the bill. Even if it is his restaurant he still wanted to pay.

"Let's go to the boutique now." Grandma happily said. Ayesha just sighed, "Grandma don't be to excited, how can you be so energetic even if you are already old." she thought to herself.

As soon as they enter a well known boutique, her Grandma approached a sales lady.

"Excuse me miss could you please get these two ladies here their sizes on every clothes that is hang on each rack. And let them fit it." Aria's jaw drop, Grandma Alicia actually asked the sales lady to get every dresses that is displayed on these store that would fit to her and Ayesha. The sales lady did what the old woman told her. And give Aria and Ayesha the dresses that have their sizes. The two went to the fitting room and tried all of them. They would yry them and go out to see if Grandma would approve it or not. Aria and Ayesha realized that trying to fit some clothes can also be tiring. After Ayesha and Aria have tried to fit all the clothes, they felt so tired.

"Okay I'll buy every clothes that this two girls have fitted. Those clothes that I only approved." Grandma Alicia's words sent Aria and Ayesha to shock even the sales ladies and store manager where shocked, there were a hundred clothes that where tried by this two young ladies infornt of them and both ladies have so many clothes that were approved by the madam in front of them. This is elder woman in front of them is not someone to mess with, she can actually affor this expensive clothings. The sales ladies immediately pack the clothes after they have recovered from being shock.

"Grandma isn't it a little bit to many, besides I already have so much clothes on my wardrobe" Ayesha said. This is what she have been fearing all day. Her Grandmother is a great spender when it comes to clothes, bags, shoes and many more. She won't stop until she is satisfied.

"Ayesha dear that was just a small amount of cash." Grandma Ayesha said as if she didm't care spending to much. Ayesha just looked at her in dismay. "Grandma I know you are rich but don't spend to much. There are still people on this country who are in need of money." she thought to herself because she knew that her Grandparents where also helping some kind of organization that helps the poor. And she knew also that she cannot win in any arguement with her Grandma. She was a renowned and ruthless lawyer after all.

Aria and Kier on the other hand where just looking at the two ladies of the Gonzales family. One is an old lady who spends to much while the other one is a young lady who is actually a miser. They understand now why Ayesha hates being with her Grandmother, the two actually don't match perfectly.

"Ok let's go to the next boutique, we should buy some casual clothes for you and Aria and some men's clothes for Kier." Grandma cheerfully said. Kier immediately turned down Grandma Alicia's suggestion and he just found a perfect reason for it. But the two young ladies didn't escape from their Grandma's plan.

They came in and out from every botique that their Grandma would see and she would never fail to amuse the three youngters. She would actually buy all of the stuff that she would approve.

After their shopping, they decided to go home since they have already bought so many stuff. As soon as they went inside the car, Aria was exhausted, she have never felt tired from shopping until she experience it today.

"Did you enjoyed our bonding today?" their Grandma asked them. Kier just nodded as he started the car's engine.

"Yes grandma, we super enjoyed it." Ayesha said as she smiled at her Grandma, she was trying to hide the exhaustion from walking and trying to fit all the clothes.

"Good! Because we will have our next bonding." Grandma uttered. The two young ladies were terrified by the idea. It was already a traumatic experience for Aria and a nightmare for Ayesha.

"Let's go to the Gonzales Mansion now Kier, you two would stay for dinner just call you parents." Grandma said and Kier immediately drove the familiar road to the Gonzales Mansion.

Knight on the other hand was already bidding goodbye to Ayesha's Grandpa, he still have to sign those documents he have left early this morning. As soon as Knight's car went out from the Mansion's gate, Ayesha's car also went inside. The two were not destined to meet for today.
