7/27 - re worked..any better?
Naru looked down at all the cases. One of the things she loved about working in her mom's store was the rainbow trapped in the cases. Smiling at own foolishness, she finished polishing the display cases. The remnants of the smile remained on her face as she took her post.
The door of the shop opened. Looking up, she smiled her welcome. "Welcome to Mayumi. How can I assist you?"
Three men walked in nodded to her in reply to her greetings. Naru watched them walk around the room peering into all the corners and doors. The door opened again. Naru automatically called out her greeting, while she continued watching the first three gentlemen. They didn't appears to be criminals, but she wasn't sure. She moved her hand slowly until it rested above the alarm button. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a young lady with large glasses. Turning her head completely, she tried not to stare at the girl. 'Those glasses remind me of someone. Who could it be?' The girl walked around looking into the case.
The door opened for a third time, and three more gentlemen came in. Even as the greeting was following of her lips, Naru watched as they walked right up to the girl. The first three gentlemen posted themselves near the door and the larger windows.'So the young lady is someone very important, and they are her bodyguards.' She relaxed a little bit. 'I wonder who she is? Well, I really should see if she needs any help.'
Coming out from behind the counter, she approached her. "Can I help you find anything in particular?"
The young lady peered at her from behind her glasses. Moving a strand of light brown hair behind her ear, she spoke softly. "I was just looking. What types of gems does your store usually sell?"
"We have gems of all types. If we don't have it, we can special order any that you want. Are you looking for something special?" Naru felt puzzled by the young lady's obviously restrained amusement.
The young lady just shook her head. "I'm just looking. Thank you."
Naru carefully walked back behind the counter. Resting her hand back near the alarm, she watched as the young lady walked around peering into each display case.
'That's who she reminds me of. The geeky boy that sits in the back of the class. Oh, what is his name? Gurio Umino!'
Finally she walked over to where Naru was waiting. "I'm impressed. Your designer is really good."
"Thank you. I'll be sure to tell her."
The young lady turned and surveyed the display room, and then looked back at Naru. "When will she be back? I want to order a special piece."
Naru glanced at the clock. It was one o'clock. "She should be back in about ten minutes. If you don't mind waiting." Naru got the impression that she wasn't used to being made to wait, or at least the bodyguards with her weren't. 'Well they will have to. I'm not going to leave this spot to call Mom. I almost trust them, but I'm still not sure.' She made sure to keep a smile firmly on her face.
"That will be fine. I'll look a little more while I wait." As she walked away, one of the bodyguards started whispering into the young lady's ear. She shook her head emphatically to whatever he said.
When her Mom walked back in Naru signaled her over. When she came around the counter, Naru leaned close to her and whispered. "Mom, the young lady says she wants to talk to you about a special design. But, I still don't trust them completely. The bodyguards with her haven't stopped peering around."
Mayumi glanced at the group, and then handed Naru the bag she was holding. "Put this in the back, and get my pencils and sketch pad, I'll wait here. Hurry back."
Naru walked quickly to the backroom, dropped off the bag, and then rushed to get her Mom's designing tools. She slowed back down as she re-entered the showroom. Handing her Mom the pencils and sketch pad, she looked at her Mom. "I'll stay here. You go ahead and talk to her."
Smiling reassuringly at Naru, Mayumi went to talk to the important yong lady.
Naru tried not to stare at them. She kept her gaze drifting around the room, and she started polishing the display cases next to her. She didn't move too far from the alarm button, though. And she paid attention to her Mom's every move, just in case. Mom was in a deep conversation with the young lady, and she was making quick sketches. The young lady kept making corrections. Soon they seem to reached an agreement. After talking a few minutes longer, the smiling group left the store.
Mayumi walked back over to Naru a slightly shocked look was replacing her costumer face. The shock was also coming through her voice. "It's alright Naru. She really was someone important. She was Princess D, she is the Princess of D land. The best jewels come from there. She said she will be back next week to pick up the bracelet she ordered. An order from a real princess."
Naru's face lit up. "Congratulations, Mom!"
"Thanks, for staying Naru. I hope your not late meeting Usagi. You said you were supposed to meet her at one fifteen, right." Mayumi glance at the clock. It was already one thirty.
Naru smiled as she grabbed her purse. "Don't worry Mom. You know Usagi is always late."
"Well, she might surprise you."
Naru just laughed as she went out the door. Mayumi waved bye with a small shake of her head.'True Usagi is normally late.' Then she looked back down at the order. "A rainbow of gems and metal. Time to get busy."
