Ren looked at her as if she was stupid.
"Because you can see it's his internal struggle? I know he's in trouble but I don't want to invade his privacy as well. He deserves so space after what he had been through last month."
Scoffing, Ren just shook his head and started walking away.
Elizabeth stood there, speechless, not getting what he ant.
But as Ren walked away, the other four looked at him and thought he was moving to another shop now.
Leaving Michael there to get the clothes done at the counter, they followed him without any questions.
He hadn't chosen any piece of clothing before so they thought he was going to finally do so shopping now as they didn't hear his conversation with Elizabeth.
But as Ren tried to go in a shop to clear his head, his steps halted as his eyes widened.
Elizabeth, who was right behind him also stopped as she was about to collide with him.
Seeing that he had stopped, she turned to see what happened and her eyes went wide from shock.
Right in front of her, at the counter was Amon, dressed in an elegant dress.
He was talking to soone with a teasing smile and as Elizabeth followed it, her eyes landed on a lady beside her.
She instantly recognized her because of her signature winish red hair.
She was Alia, the President of the Cultural Society and also her elder sister's friend.
She knew that Amon knew Alia because of the sa way Elizabeth knew that their elders sisters knew her.
And even though she had seen they were good friends in the mall...
A piercing pain ran through Elizabeth's heart that made her teeth grit against each other silently.
It wasn't physical pain. It was a new emotion for her to experience even though she had seen it multiple tis in other people.
It made her clench her fists so hard that her nails dug into her palms.
It was...
Jealousy.

A laugh escaped out of Alia's lips as Amon stumbled to carry so many dresses.
So of them had long straps and ends so it was a hassle for him, who didn't even shop for himself in his previous life.
"Damn it, finally." He put it on the counter, releasing a sigh.
Another chuckle escaped Alia's lips as she saw him.
Amon turned to her, his mouth twitching.
"You are enjoying this aren't you?" He squinted his eyes.
Alia's eyes widened as her mouth turned into a small pout.
"Hey, don't pin it on now, you were the one who wanted to carry them all. I asked you multiple tis to give it to ." She elbowed him slightly.
Amon turned his head away with a click of his tongue as the smallest hint of laughter escaped Alia's lips again.
But she quickly controlled herself, looking at his embarrassed face because of his inability to handle won's dresses.
An impulsive thought ca to her mind that she ended up blurting.
"Hehe, cute."
It was only after Alia said that she realized what she said, but as she was about to put a hand over her face in surprise...
She saw Amon's eyes widened as his ears turned beet red.
A smirk appeared on her face as she finally got a chance to get back at him.
Only being shorter by an inch or two than him, Alia was easily able to cover it up mostly with her high heels.
Standing on the tip of her toes just a little, she put a hand on his shoulder and neared his ear slightly with a playful smile.
"I appreciate the help, you looked cute don't worry." Her hot breath tickled his cold ear.
Amon's face turned beet red in that very instant and he quickly retorted when she retreated back to her place.
"Stop doing this." He rubbed his ear, where he just felt her breath, the spot till tickling.
Alia winked playfully, sticking her tongue out a little.
"Payback for what you did before."
Amon was left speechless before he managed so words.
"You are too good at this."
Alia restrained another chuckle.
As they were talking, the cashier finally totalled their bill and turned to Amon.
"It's going to be 15000 Exlor Sir."
Listening to the price, Alia quickly extended her watch to pay it but her eyes widened when it suddenly stopped mid-air by surprise.
She lost control to her arm for a spare mont, as if the blood inside moved against her will
And that was enough for Amon to grab her hand and also seize the mont by extending his watch, connecting to the machine.
Alia's eyes widened as she turned to Amon, realizing what happened.
But the latter simply reversed her wink back.
"I win this ti." He said cockily, flashing a victorious smile, montarily disarming Alia
as her eyes turned to her hand.
It was grabbed by Amon, who was distracted in paying the cashier with the watch.
As she stared at their hands, suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, causing her to imdiately turn pink.
But as Amon turned back after paying the cashier, he found Alia not eting his gaze.
It was only after he followed it that he followed Alia that he found that his hand was still
grabbing her hand.
'Ah.' He finally got it, and seeing her reaction, a laugh almost escaped from his lips. However, rather than letting it go as he was expected to do so, he grabbed her hand properly and gave it a light squeeze, his cold seeping into her gloves to her warm hands.
A squeal escaped from Alia's lips almost but Amon quickly took her attention by giving a teasing smile while looking into her eyes.
"My lady, you forgot what you were doing after I ca out of the bathroom as well." "Ha, B-but I-" Alia couldn't articulate any words with the teasing Amon was doing and the thoughts running through her mind.
But contrary to Amon's thoughts, Alia wasn't minding his hold or being shy about it.
Just as she was about to speak further though, a familiar female sound ca from their side. Startled, their hold broke and they gaze at the side, only to find a confused Elizabeth staring at Amon.
