The lost mafia princess

Chapter 11

"Right let's get to it! Much to do!" Athena said whilst storming ahead.

I hope she's not a crazy shopper. I enjoy it but I can't spend all day doing it.

"First stop, uniforms! We only need yours Alina as the boys have been sorted"

I nodded.

I got upset thinking of how much I missed with my real family.

I didn't have to suffer. I could have had an easy life.

We walked through the massive mall.

It has so many more stores than my local one back in the States.

It had really expensive brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Armani.

Many girls in school had bags and clothes from these places. They loved showing off .

I've never really had anything special or luxury enough to ever do that.

Not that I would show off. I think it's a little obnoxious.

We entered the store and were greeted with the employees of the store bowing as we entered.

That was weird.

I know my family is rich and famous but this is a step too far.

Maybe they helped this store? Yeah that's probably it. Business wise they must have helped them.

That's what they are famous for.

Or maybe it's a sign of respect in Italy and stores just do it to everyone who comes in.

An old lady came to Athena straight away.

She acted like a completely different person outside.

There was no playful side to her, it was all business.

I guess you'd have to do that if you have a reputation.

She was listing all of these different clothes not missing a beat.

As long as she was kind to me and to others then I was happy.

She just seemed strict. Ready to get down to business.

I was looking around the store and I caught the curious glances of the employees.

What never seen a missing child returned before?

Before I knew it I was turned around and taken to the far corner of the room.

Has this lady ever heard of personal space? Or asking to move people?

The rest of my family was following.

That was good.

I was put on a little stage with a mirror in front of me.

What was happening?

The lady who dragged me over here left.

I looked towards Athena through the mirror questioning with my eyes on what was happening.

She just smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

Girl, you cannot just drag me onto a stage and leave me in the dark about what's happening.

The lady returned with a tape measure.

Ok it made sense now.

She measure my arms, thighs, waist, and neck.

I had to hide a wince as she measured my waist due to my ribs.

I stayed as still as possible and allowed her move me however as I didn't want to get in trouble or make her life harder.
