Hades had pulled into the grand entrance of a luxurious shopping center that screamed money from a mile away. Alice cocked a brow at him as they stepped out of the car, her eyes scanning the building. This wasn't what she had said. She had explicitly given him the address of a movie theater.
"This isn't the cinema," she stated, her voice flat.
He cut the engine, turning to face her, his expression as unreadable as ever. "You're here to shop."
Shop?
SHOP!?!
"I don't... need anything."
He shrugged, a dismissive gesture that spoke volumes. "Your room is empty. You need to fill it up." His tone implied it was less a suggestion and more an order.
They were here to spend money, and the black card he had in hand was a reminder of that.
All her life, she had never met a woman who didn't like shopping. Hell, even men.
But then, she knew her roots. And shopping here...
She trailed after him reluctantly, silently convincing herself she was doing this for Aurora.
