Chapter 382
"Cassie, why don't you try on some clothes?"
Uncle Martin notices that I am just sitting in the corner . I replied to him . "I am good, Uncle Martin . "
"You should also look something for you . If your mind changes, don't be hesitant to give them to the cashier and wrap it . I'll go outside to answer this call . "
"Okay, Uncle Martin . Thank you . "
I wonder, how did he fall in love with Lydia in this life? Well, Aunt Lydia in my life is kind and a nice person . Fate is playing around in our lives .

"Excuse me, I saw a watch displayed earlier in the window . "
"I am sorry, sir . Someone purchases it already . "
"Oh . Do you have another stock of it?"
"I am afraid it was the last one, sir . It is a limited edition, and the rest sold out already . "
"I see . "
"How about looking for something else, sir? We have other collections available . " The store manager offers .
"Ah, but my niece wanted that watch . "
"Oh . I'm very sorry, sir, but that's the last one . Maybe you can talk to the person who purchases it . He was still in the cashier, paying the watch . "
"Really? But I wonder if he would sell it to me instead . " he sighed .
Martin feels bad that he is late . He notices how Cassie cannot take away her eyes from it . Maybe it was the best gift for her birthday, but someone took the watch already . He checked out the customer who got the watch he needed . He saw a guy which a little familiar to him . He wonders if where he met this guy .
"Good afternoon . " He greeted him in English, but he looks like a French man .
"Good afternoon . " The guy replied to him in French .
Martin is right to his guess that he is French . He then smiled, showing friendliness toward the guy . This is better, he could talk to him in French instead .
"Ah, I am just wondering . We have the same item to buy, but they were out of stock already . Um… My niece likes the watch . Sadly, it is the last one . "
"How old is she?" The guy asked Martin .
"Fifteen . It's her birthday today . "
"I see . Here, you can take it, Monsieur . " The guy handed him the shopping bag where the watch box nicely wrapped .
"Oh, but you already purchase it!" It surprised him . Who is this guy to just give away something he bought already? He can't believe though, but he wants to make Cassie's birthday a special one . "Are you sure? Isn't you want to give it to someone dear to you?" he wants to assure .
"My sister died years ago . She likes the same characters but since someone could better have it, I am giving it . " he smiled to him .
"Oh, then, thank you! Don't worry, my niece would take care of it . She keeps her things very well . Ah, wait! Let me return the amount you paid for it . "
"Don't worry, Monsieur, I give it for free . "
"Thank you very much then!"

Back in the hotel, Lydia and Mimie go out without her and Martin receives a call from his boss to have a drinking party which he can't refuse . This means she's left alone in the hotel .
"Cassie, are you okay being alone here?"
Uncle Martin asked me for the fifth times which made me giggled . "Don't worry, Uncle Martin . I want to take a rest too, so I am fine staying in the hotel . "
"Okay, call me anytime if you need anything . Or something happens . "
"Okay, Uncle Martin . "
"Here, take this . "
"Hum?" My eyes grow wider upon seeing the box Uncle Martin handed to me . It was the watch I was looking at the store window . "Uncle, how did you?"
"I saw that you can't take your eyes off from it, so I buy it . Someone already bought it, but when he learned that I want to give it to my niece, he gave that to me instead and it's for free! So basically, I did not pay for it, but he is glad to give it to you . "
"Oh . I wonder who is he . . . " It intrigued me who might that guy .
"Actually, he is French having a business here in Japan, too . "
