For Leon Batton, Lynette Batton could have anything she wanted. He was willing to pluck the stars and moon from the sky for her, let alone buy her a lipstick.
That was how a brother would behave if he loved his sister. He wanted to fulfill her every request that was within his means. He liked seeing his little sister happy all the time.
“That’s awesome. You’re the best, Leon!” Lynette leaped into the air and wrapped her arms around his neck.
In front of her brother, she could do whatever she wanted and act like a child.
They were about to head home after a day of shopping and getting into their car in the parking lot when Lynette suddenly screamed.
“What’s the matter?” Leon asked frantically, worried that something might have happened to her.
“I think I left my stuff in the lipstick store. What should I do?” his sister lamented while fishing for something in her pockets.
“All right, wait here for a moment. I’ll go back and look for it,” he replied calmly before returning to the shopping mall by himself.
Leon made his way to the YSL store and managed to retrieve the items left behind after explaining to the staff behind the counter.
Then, he hurried out of the mall, not wanting to let his sister wait alone for too long, when suddenly, he came to a screeching halt.
From the corner of his eyes, he had glimpsed a familiar face. He saw a young lady in a red-and-black uniform not far away as he turned around.
It was a simple attire, yet her beauty was unconcealable. Her long silky hair, pretty eyes, and smoky makeup gave off a cold vibe.
Leon couldn’t resist staring at her as she reminded him of the student who stood in front of him the other day.
If he wasn’t mistaken from eavesdropping on some of the gossip of his classmates, she was the girl who worked hard to fund her own studies at their prestigious school.
Leon, who usually never cared about anyone else, actually stayed to observe the young lady silently for some inexplicable reason.
He watched as she stood outside a beverage shop, promoting some sample drinks in front of her. There was a small megaphone hanging by her waist. Her beauty was still apparent even with a cap on her head.
