Chapter 67
The woman was quick as she came out with two boxes in her hand, "These came together with the marooned shoes you were looking at, Mr . Quinn," she said, opening the box without waiting for her assistant and getting down in front of Penny which Penny herself found to be odd .
Two weeks and people had treated her like a slave without giving her an ounce of respect as an individual person whose freedom didn't exist . In such time, this lady who was looking after the store sat down in front of her without any consideration of her status right now which touched Penny's heart . It was often told that when a person was in the worst state, a helping hand was like a light at the end of the tunnel which not only showed hope but also that there was still a little humanity left even if the creatures were not human .
"These are crafted by one of the niche cobblers who works in Wovile . He is told to have the hands of God when it comes to making shoes," said Gwenyth before picking a pair of inky blue shoes that were similar to the night sky of midnight . From far one could take it's color to be blank but it was just that it was deep blue in color .
Taking Penelope's feet, she let her feet slide into the shoe which seemed delicate with the straps that wrapped at the top of her feet . In Penny's eyes, they were beautiful but at the same time, something bothered her . It was the heel of the shoe that was pointy and thin . Gwenyth slipped the other her leg into the shoe, saying, "They are called sandals, Penelope . I think they look wonderful on you . What do you think, Mr . Quinn?"
"Can you walk?" the question was directed to Penny .
Penny had the exact same question . Could she walk in these? All this time she had worn flat boots that had no straps or heels on them . While she was looking at her feet on how the shoes looked on her feet she felt something move in the side of her vision . Catching sight of a hand that was waiting for her to catch .
"Time to walk in it," said Damien making Penny give him a queasy smile which fell immediately as it was put up to only display politeness in front of the people in the store .
Placing her hand gingerly in his, she got up from her seat, wobbling slightly before her stance turned sturdy . Okay, thought Penny to herself . This wasn't as difficult as she thought it was to be .
Taking a deep breath she took one step forward to smile . See easy, she said it to herself . Taking another step forward she heard the words of encouragement come from the lady in the room, "For someone who isn't used to walking in these shoes, you are doing excellent," Penny chest puffed in pride for herself . Who knew she could manage it in her first try without breaking the edges or falling down .
And to prick the prideful balloon, Damien commented from behind, "What are you a duck to walk so slow? You can walk this slow once you hit ninety . Right now you're a young woman . "
Gwenyth only smiled looking at the look of embarrassment that covered on the girl's cheek . Damien stared at her back and the posture, her stance slightly crooked which made her look worse than an actual duck .
"You can pack them along with the maroon shoes there," ordered Damien before stating, "These will look lovely on Lady Sentencia . Pack the lowest pair of shoes so that Penny can use them . Heels please," though Gwenyth gave a look of surprise which was covered in the next second, Penny didn't look least surprised . She knew this bullying master of hers would not hold back and wouldn't lose an opportunity to make her feel bad but she didn't feel bad .
She was already getting used to him and was trying to ignore a lot of things when it came to him .
