We are almost at chapter 50 and we almost at the end of this book too... anyway happy reading!

And just in case you were wondering, no there won't be a sequel sadly. This is a stand-alone book.

RonReaco and Rayselle had been talking to each other for so long that they forgot to hide.

Shahidi and someone else called Shanaz, aka:

[Real Name: Khandi Alexander]

Were both walking down the corridor, the corridor that had just so happened to be right opposite where RonReaco and Rayselle were currently standing.

Shanaz was actually the owner of the place after discovering this place the other day.

This place was pretty hidden so no one had seen it, except from her because she was very attentive to detail.

When she had realised that the place wasn't owned by anybody she had decided to take advantage of it, especially how she wanted to start a business anyway.

She just didn't know what the business should have been but she did know that she wanted to own a store of some sort.

She didn't know what would have been inside of the store until right now.

She didn't start House of Fraser of course although she did start this one.

I'm telling you Shanaz, RonReaco deceived me!

She had known his name after asking him what it was and he had told her.

He shouldn't have though which he had realised by far too late. This would have made the entire thing so much easier.

He had deceived her in the sense that he wasn't really interested in any of the items he had said complimented her about...

No... it was just a distraction for Rayselle to go to the duplication station downstairs.

When they had heard some voices, that was officially when both of the boys knew very well that they had to hide if they knew what was best for them.

Panicking, they had tried to enter the duplication station, with Rayselle realising that they had been talking for too long that they had almost forgotten why they were really here.

Yeah, no kidding genius. We haven't got time! RonReaco had accidentally on purpose snapped at him, hiding inside of there.

Way too easy to open, unless it was already open because no one was really supposed to be in here in the first place except from staff members.

You're just saying that so that you don't have to work.

I'm not joking, sis. I saw them go downstairs with my two eyes. You've got to believe me!

Where would they go? The staff member toilets? The duplication station? They should know very well that those places are off limits.

Yeah, they knew that... they just didn't really care about it, with Shahidi and Shanaz walking as fast as they could.

Shanaz was even old enough to be the girl's own mother but she wasn't, otherwise Shahidi would have called her mother or something similar to that unless she wasn't allowed to.

The person that Giovanni and Valentina were ranting to about the tiara being stolen (as well as Kasey, Leilani and Raina Riele stealing it) was now downstairs, already having duplicated the tiara for them.

If RonReaco and Rayselle could have gotten that duplicated tiara then this would have made everything a lot easier.

They couldn't.

Her name was Vicky, she was almost sixty and she was on her way upstairs to give it to them. She was stopped dead in her tracks though when Shahidi had called her.

Shanaz still wouldn't really have believed that fact that RonReaco and Rayselle were downstairs as of right now mainly because she didn't have any proof.

Maybe Vicky had seen them, with the boys hearing everything inside of the duplication station.

They would have seen what was going on too but the light was off for security reasons.

Plus anyone could have known that someone was inside as the light could have unfortunately been seen from the outside as well.

Victoria, have you seen two boys about... I don't know, twenty and twenty one?

She had nodded and Shahidi cheered, clapping her hands like some little children had done when they had seen the ice cream van.

"Damn, didn't know I looked twenty or twenty one."

RonReaco had nudged Rayselle hard in the ribs after he had said that, they couldn't have afford to be found here.

They had to be as silent as a dead mouse.

That was what they had to be, and they were.

Actually to be honest, if they hadn't duplicated the tiara then it wouldn't have been too bad because it would have been fake anyway - and the real tiara was needed to ace the mission.

But God forbid, in case the real tiara had been lost, it was slightly better to give Princess Herizen a fake one than none at all.

Where did you see them? Shanaz wanted to know, with Vicky not saying anything for a while as she really had to think.

Maybe amnesia was a part of old age but it wasn't dreadful enough for her not to work here anymore.

Weren't they the ones talking to Giovanni and Valentina about why they were ranting to me?

Yeah- have you seen them around here? From Shahidi.

We're desperately looking for them. Most especially Shahidi though because she's trying to prove something to me.

She couldn't have though because she had been downstairs the whole time, although she did offer to search all of downstairs for them if it had made Shahidi feel better.

And it did.

So like they had said they were going to do, the three of them had looked for them everywhere.

When RonReaco and Rayselle had realised that they were trying to get inside of the room, they had freaked out a bit before finally trying to find a place to hide.

It was a lot harder for them considering how they had to do everything in the dark, however desperate times had called for desperate measures plus they moreover didn't want to risk anything.

Either way, all three of them had looked long and hard for them- forget double checked.

They had quintuple checked but still nothing.

It was worth a shot they had guessed, but it was obvious that they weren't here even if they were.

When they had checked the places they had actually hidden in, they had hid even more in that place, or they locked it.

Shanaz couldn't have remembered if some places already locked or if someone else had locked it instead.

None of them had really been here in ages aside from Vicky who was last seen here just a few minutes ago.
