Crispin opened the car door and got out. Robyn got out at the same time. Crispin pulled her into the mall. She was confused. She pulled her hand back. "Let go of me! Where are we going to?". Robyn asked him angrily.

"Are you going to see my grandfather in a pantsuit?". He asked gesturing at her outfit. "I'm your assistant. What's wrong with meeting your grandfather in a pantsuit? Isn't this a formal meeting?". She asked him. Crispin ran his fingers through his hair.

He grabbed her shoulders. "You're not going to tell my grandfather that you're my assistant. You're my girlfriend. Understood?". Robyn pushed him away. "That was not the agreement boss. You said I had to accompany you. I thought it was for professional reasons". She said angrily.

Just as they were still arguing, Crispin got a phone call. "Young master, when are you going to arrive?". The call was from the boutique. "I'm already at the mall Thayer, I'll be there in a minute". He said while grabbing Robyn's hand, and walking towards the elevator.

He hung up and walked into the lift immediately the doors opened. Robyn tried to pull away. "What are you doing boss? I can buy my own clothes!". She felt belittled. "I know you can buy your own clothes, but this is on short notice. Take it as part of the bonus". He said to her.

He pushed the button on the elevator and went to the 5th floor with her. When they got there, Thayer welcomed them. "Good day young master. Is this the woman you spoke of? She is indeed a damsel".

She went closer to Robyn, as she studied her features. She looked back at Crispin, "I know exactly what to put on her - wait a moment ". She said as she pulled Robyn into the changing room. When they came out from the dressing room Robyn was wearing black dress lined with rhinestones around the waist.

Crispin didn't like the dress. "Thayer why is she wearing this dress? She's going to see my grandfather she's not going to a funeral". He expected more from Thayer. "Don't worry young master, I will get her changed immediately".

Thayer pulled her back into the dressing room. They went through a lot of dresses. Most of them were showing too much skin, or were not to Robyn's taste. "So...when are you marrying the young master?". Thayer asked, while brushing her hair.

"Don't misunderstand things Thayer, I'm just meeting his grandfather with him. You know, like a female escort?". Robyn explained. "No way miss, the young master has never brought any girl to this boutique. He has female escorts, but he only uses them once, and never again. And he doesn't choose their clothes carefully. Whatever I sent to his office was fine". Thayer said to her.

"I'm just his assistant don't worry". Robyn said blushing. "Okay, but I'd be glad if you guys end up together. You seem like the kind of cool headed girl he needs". Thayer said as she pulled on her curls with the brush.

When they came out in about 15 minutes, Robyn was wearing an Icy blue halter dress. Her curly hair had been styled in a textured bun. Crispin liked this look very much. "Thayer why are her feet bare?". He asked. As he looked at her bare feet, he noticed her feet were attractive. He swallowed hard, as he shifted his gaze to her face.

"Boss she refused to wear the pair of heels I got for her. She insisted on converse". Thayer explained. "Just give her what she wants". Crispin ordered. Thayer ran to the shoe rack, and got her a pair of white converse. She was still wearing her silver earrings from this morning. She was beautiful.

Robyn made Crispin change into a casual look. He wore a pair of blue Jeans, and a light colored T-shirt. Thayer smiled without letting them notice. No one would believe they weren't a couple. Crispin even let her choose his clothes. They looked good together.

Crispin walked to the car, with his arm around her waist. As they drove to his grandfather's place, he complained about his outfit. "Stop complaining. Do you have to meet your grandfather looking like a CEO? It's just tea, not a board meeting". Robyn said. He became silent and drove to the place.

When they got to his grandfather's place, Crispin immediately introduced them. "Hello grandpa, this is my girlfriend Robyn, and Robyn this is my grandpa Mathew". He said. Robyn smiled. "Nice to meet you grandpa". She said with her head to the ground. "Nice to meet you too. You're a damsel indeed". He took her hand and kissed it as he spoke. Robyn smiled at him.

Crispin quickly pulled her hand back. His grandfather patted his shoulder. "She's a fine one son, make sure you keep her. You've got some taste after all". Grandpa said as he walked to his chair to relax.

His friends hadn't arrived yet. He chatted with both of them for a while, and was upset that Crispin hid their relationship from him. He said he was hungry, and told Robyn to make something for them to eat. He showed her to the kitchen, and went back to chat with Crispin.

Robyn was confused. The fridge was full of ingredients, but she didn't know exactly what to make, or what he'd like. She didn't know any of their preferences. She wished a rock would fall on her head at this moment.
