Now you look at Chris frightened

Chris is not joking for sure.

“And what did you expect, miss?” - he asks frankly, - “You did spoil not just this poor candy, but our hypermarket’s reputation!”

You… you don’t know what you expected, but not this. You just wanted to get his attention… maybe tease him a bit. And now you are totally doomed. Where will you find such money?

Seems it all is written on your face, because the grumpy old lady, who was standing in the queue near you, suddenly coughs:

“Ahem, Chris? I think this young lady doesn’t have this sum”.

“But that’s her problem, mrs...:”

“Mrs Bancroft it is. And yes, I know it’s her problem. And she is such a bad-behaved girl to get into it”

Her strict tone makes you blush. You feel like a schoolgirl before the punishment. And this feeling… is quite pleasant for you.
