Chapter thirteen: "Toodles"

I slowly descend the stairs since wearing wedges is ideal when you are not good at balancing yourself when going down the stairs, I caught a glimpse of my sisters looking beautiful

My mouth went wide as I walked closer to them, I was speechless. They are all unrecognizable to me

"My God" I let out and my sisters laughed, I giggled
"My babies" Dad became emotional that Mom comforted him by letting him cry a little on her shoulder

Aunt Laborè looked so proud like she made a masterpiece in under 2 hours, we all heard a loud car horn so me and my sisters curiously look out of the window. We gasped loudly and look in surprise at each other

"4 BLACK BMW CARS?!" Ella said in awe, our neighbors went out of their homes being curious as to why there are 4 black cars lined up at the front of our house

I was nervous and my sisters have that worried look on their faces
"You all have assigned drivers and a bodyguard at the passenger seat" I heard a voice recording, Aunt Laborè held the phone up high for all of us to hear it on full volume

"But one of you will have to be in a car alone" Sophia announced to us, Natalie and Ella held their hands together, Adeline gave Wendy a side hug, Caramia was with Brie. I was now left alone

I got even more nervous that I would be the only one in the car being awkward with the driver and bodyguard
"You'll be fine Penelope" Mom hugged me from behind and I let out a breath, I nodded to myself

Aunt Laborè was the first to go out and both the drivers and bodyguards came out of the car and greeted us with a small bow, the neighbors watch in awe and some took pictures and videos of us as we go out of the house

I was the last to go out of the door, my sisters one by one got in the car until all that was left was one car for me to hop in. The bodyguard opened the door for me and I thanked him quietly, he nodded to me lightly with a small smile

I got in and Aunt Laborè sat with me in the back seat, the neighborhood was now filled with many onlookers as we leave the street. We heard a ring on her phone and she looked at the message, she pinched her nose bridge as she sighs

She tapped the driver's shoulder
"Mark please turn the car to the other street, I need to visit shop 25" she ordered and the driver made a sharp turn around the corner

"Penelope dear it seems like we are going to be late so I must inform my boss because there seems to be a problem with the storage in one of the shops" she explained to me

"It's alright" I answered her and she gave me her signature sweet smile, the ride was 30 minutes long until we reached a huge shop in front of a mall.

I checked out the name of the shop "Angel Wears" my eyes widened, this shop is like a Versace. All of its products are high end and very hard to buy since it's super expensive, we walked up to the entrance and the guard opened the glass door for the both of us

I am not shocked at all that the entire staff is in one line in a clean orderly manner, their uniforms are clean and well-groomed and the whole shop is spotless
This made it seem like everything was brand new

"Welcome Miss Price," they all said loudly in unison which startled me
"Hello dears" she returned the greeting in a cold tone and the staff looks stiff and scared at her presence

The lady that has a different uniform is what I assume to be the manager of the shop came forward, she explained the problem in storage because all of the new season's collection is now sold out and they haven't got the new deliveries since last month. She almost stuttered when saying Ma'am to Aunt Laborè
