âAnd your assumptions are marked with positive results, master Phantomhive,â the formality was changed while her glance remains unwaged to the blue-haired boy of unreported potential coursing through his veins. The woman remains holding the small creation in her hands which belonged the store and rests it back no the shelf. âHow far would his denial go in admitting he wants one?â Her thin brown brows press together with a glistening amusement sneaking into the back of her mind.Â
   An equivalent exchange in false statements humors her while brushing aside the true intentions of her visit. Whenever heâll be in the store and not, the heiress stays the opportunities in scouting throughout the large toy store and ensure every spot in the store was spotless and without any infestation of laziness. Alas, the anonymous informant sending letters to his home office had to keep tabs in one way or another.Â
  âYes, I am here for my break,â the heiress raises off her hat and rests it above her breast, providing for a small bow as the lie swiftly leaves her lips. âAlas, drawing to this store mustâve been fate because I spot your azure locks for a near mile away..â The motherly figure wrinkles her nose like a discontent rabbit and ruffles the top of his head.Â
" --will you--,... p-please stop doing that. " he rectifies the scathing tone in his voice right away, quickly prompting himself to sound civil in the presence of the fellow businesswoman. Smoothing down his pristine navy tresses, Ciel momentarily avoids the brunette's gaze, the slightest bit flustered at being treated like a normal child in public. Oh, how he's taken his economic and social standing for granted.
" Would you like to have some tea and other treats while you're here? We've recently released our holiday confectionery just in time for the season, perhaps you'd like to try a sample as well. " Ciel offered, all in his usual noble poise. But it seems that a mere boy in a plain white shirt and pants holding the door open for a lady while talking in an undeniable posh flair made Ciel look a tad bit pretentious. He almost wanted to glare at that middle-aged customer by the aisle who kept discreetly eyeing him judging looks--don't think that just because I only have one open eye doesn't mean I can't see your nasty gaze from here. But he has to suck it up; it's the very purpose of his incognito visits after all, to eye his business without the predetermined respect his infamous Phantomhive presence usually demands, stat.
Despite the hatter currently being on her 'break', Ciel knew. The shrewd earl didn't need an informant to deduce why a fellow CEO of a business as demanding as hers magically had so much free time at her disposal. Granted, he doesn't know just how precisely Sophie Hatter runs Le Courenne de Brieve, but he was sure not being hands-on isn't one of them. Fate my ass, Sophie. If I knew better, I'd call you my snooping older sister.
