Forced To Marry The Devil : A Crazy Love Saga-Chapter 28 - 28. Gifts

"What is it?" Markus asked while placing Kizy in the back seat.

"We forgot about the gifts. Grandma's birthday banquet is this sunday and tomorrow is wednesday. You have important meetings on both thursday and saturday, hence both of us will be busy. So should we go for shopping tomorrow?" Kizy asked.

Her accident last time had made her forget about the entire celebration thing. Markus's parcel made her remember that she hadn't purchased any gift yet.

"Ok tomorrow will do." Markus said after some thought.

Next day Kizy wore a relatively simpler dress and went with Markus to All Star Mall. The mall looked less crowdy and this made Kizy relieved.. But what she didn't knew was, this mall was even more luxurious and expensive than the mall they visited before. And most importantly it was owned by Markus.

"This mall has lesser crowd. Hope the prices would be lesser as well." Kizy spoke to herself while passing by a clothes store.

Suddenly she stopped in her tracks and entered the shop.

"Miss how can i help you?" the staff member asked.

"I wanted to know the price of this dress." Kizy said while pointing to a dress that was placed on mannequin for display.

"Mam you surely have a great taste. This is the latest dress from Purple. This will cost you $200,000-"

"Cough, cough" The staff looked at the man who had coughed, standing beside Kizy and he immediately stopped midtrack.

"Miss this will cost you $20,000‐" the staff changed his statement but Markus still gave him an unapproving look.

"$2,000 but since our brand is celebrating its 25th anniversary, you will recieve a fifty percent discount. Which means you will only pay $1,000." the staff said while internally crying.

Being a succesfull high end luxury clothing brand for more than two decades, the staff had never seen any dress from Purple below $50,000. But now he was made to sell this dress at such a cheaper price and that too by his boss.

"Ohh that's great!" Kizy said.

She was totally oblivious to the secret gestures Markus made behind her back. She was immersed in the beautiful lavender dress which was flowing from its waist till the ground. It had sleeves reaching to elbow level and consisted of a silver belt near waist. The dress was decorated by few silver diamonds, which made it look even more stylish yet low-key at the same time.

Finally Kizy took her eyes off the dress and turned back towards Markus.

"Will this dress fit your mom? I have never seen her and i don't know her size." she said.

Markus was a little surprised, though it wasn't shown on his face. He never knew that this woman was thinking of buying this dress for his mom and not for herself. He aused for a moment before nodding his head.

"Please pack this dress. I will buy it." Kizy said to the staff.

The staff didn't tarry for another minute and quickly packed the dress. Kizy signalled Markus to give the money which he somehow did without any complaints or tricks.

May be Markus was a little happy knowing that Kizy was seriously buying gifts for his family which he would have rarely done. In all these years, he would just attend those family dinners and banquet, considering his presence itself was a gift.

But today Kizy had unknowingly changed his thinking.

Similarlly Kizy bought a set of calligraphy brush and inkstone for grandpa whereas set of pearl earring and jade longevity pendant for grandma. And similarlly the staff at both the places sold it for a very cheap price knowing that it was there Boss accompanying this lady.

"Woah finally we are done with the gifts. Let's head home quickly, i am dying of hunger!" Kizy complained while holding her stomach.

But something caught her attention and that was the The Blue Dream Bakery. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

"Markus can i order the birthday cake for this banquet?" she suddenly asked Markus.

"Usually grandpa asks me for this everytime, but since its a huge banquet, grandpa will ask his men to do it this time. But why do you ask?" Markus asked.

"Look thats the best bakery in our country B. It has branches in all major cities. I got to taste its pastry only once but that was the best. So i just wished we could order a cake from this bakery for grandma's birthday." Kizy said while pointing towards the bakery.

"Ok wait." Markus made a quick phone call to his grandpa and after knowing that the cake was not booked, he allowed Kizy to do so.

"Excuse me, can we order for a custom made cake?" Kizy asked the worker in bakery.

"Yes mam, look at this menu. This are the flavours that you can choose from. And this album consists some of our previous custom made cakes, you can have a look for your reference." the worker said.

Kizy quickly through the entire menu and album before picking a tissue paper. Markus was a little amused while standing behind her, trying to guess what this little lamb was scribling.

Finally Kizy kept her pen aside and took out her mobile phone. She clicked a picture of the tissue paper she had been scribling on.

"What exactly are you doing Wifey?" Markus asked after watching her click the photo.

"Oh look at this. Although my drawing isn't that good, i tried drawing the cake that i imagined. Tell me is it good?" Kizy asked Markus doubtfully.

Kizy gave the tissue paper to worker and passed her phone to Markus.

Markus took an entire minute to study the photo and after observing it carefully, he turned towards Kizy before asking.

"Are you sure that your drawing isn't 'that good'? Look at this properly. Is this how it should look?" Markus asked.

"What do you mean by that?" Kizy asked in a little flustered tone.
