Don't worry, it won't turn you into the Eiffel Tower!" I joked, "You can taste anything you like. I'm his daughter, and I'm in charge until he gets back." He didn't say anything and kept observing the different candies. I apologized, "I'm sorry, but he isn't here at the moment. May I speak with the owner of the store?" I tried not to make my panic noticeable.Ĭiel removed his hat and looked around the store, "Hello. Strangely, the man dressed in black with him was incredibly familiar to me.

Not so much the finances, but I was good at running the front and helping customers find their way to the sweet they wanted. My house was on the second floor of the building.
