Hollywood Zenith-Chapter 571 Getting ready for the Party-1

After breakfast, Samuel went out to get some new clothes for the upcoming movie premier. With his contract still up with Armani, he could promote their new designs and look good for the party. It's not like he lacked clothes but he had nothing better to do.

With his family hounding him, it was better to go out to the city just to get away from them. He thought about bringing Elise but she would be busy attending her mandatory classes with Grayson. She was a little upset but with Fiona and all the horses by her she was able to quickly forget about it.

Before leaving he also tasked Nelson, to bring everyone back. Sjors was most adamant on following him, fearing he would leave for a long time but when he told her that he would see her in the evening, she seemed to understand him.

He didn't go back home to change, he had plenty of clothes in his room in the main mansion so he wasn't aware of the meltdown happening there. He thought about taking them, knowing how tired they were coupled with the fact that he knew if he took the girls that would only mean countless hours of him carrying their bags while they waltzed around the whole shop looking for hidden treasures!

It was also one of the reason why he didn't mention it to anyone, especially not his aunt that would surely follow him if he ever uttered shopping in her vicinity. He quietly asked Arthur to arrange for everything and waited outside.

To his surprise, he saw Old John coming to pick him up. He hadn't seen him in ages!

" What are you doing here?"

" I was on my way to the city when I heard you needed a ride." Old John said with a smile.

" But you don't even work here anymore. Isn't it time for you to enjoy your retirement?" He got inside the car pleasantly surprised by his visit.

" These bones still have some life left in them. I have been doing this for decades now so I kind of missed the feeling sitting at home."

" Well, it's alright with me but it could take a couple of hours."

" I have a lot of time to kill. Where are we heading?" He asked.

" Central london, I have to swing by Armani to see if they have anything in stock."

" Do you mind if I pick something for my wife there? With our anniversary coming up, I wanted to get her something expensive."

" You don't have to ask for such things beside with me here, there is no need to worry about price."

" No, no, I can't do that young master! My wife will kill me if she knew that I asked you for her gift."

" I was not asking." With Samuel insistence, Old John had to agree to the arrangement. He promised himself to not look for anything expensive. It's not like the family didn't pay him less, he was saving everything for posterity.

They headed outside the estate and entered the highway, it would take about an hour so they started talking about what was new in each other's life.

...

...

...

They arrived and someone was already waiting for them. It was the weekend so the shop was pretty busy even before the noon.

" I will be there shortly after I parked the car."

" Alright, I should get off here."

" I should at least drive you to the back of the shop. There are a lot of people here, I am not sure if you would be able to get inside."

" It's fine. I have brought my trusty cap and mask."

" Alright." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Samuel got off and just as he was about to put his disguise, someone shouted from his side.

" Mama, look there is Harry." It was a little girl who was pulling her mother's legs pointing toward Samuel.

" Harry? What are you talking about?" The mother looked at her little kid wondering what she was talking about.

" There, there! That's Harry Potter right?" She was pointing right at him. Her mother looked in the direction to see, a young man covered from head to toe. Samuel had already put on his disguise so she couldn't discern his identity and dismissed it as her daughter making things up.

Everyone knew that the new movie was about to releases because there were posters everywhere. Samuel paid it out of his pocket to filled most of the billboards in the city to appease the other investor because of his little screw up in Paris.

The little pouted and simply ran toward Samuel to grab his pants. She knew that she was right and was adamant on proving it to her mother. Samuel looked at her who mustn't been older than his brother and scooted down to pat her head.

" What is it kid?"

" Are you Harry Potter?" She asked innocently looking at his eyes.

" I am so sorry! She recently watched the movie and had been clamoring about meeting Harry. I am sorry she disturbed you." Unlike little girl, her mother was scared. She knew looking at young man's clothes that he must be from wealthy family. She didn't want any trouble offending him, because she had heard how ruthless the rich kids from such families could be if one where to disturb them.

Coupled with the fact that he was trying so hard to hide his face, it clearly was so that no one would notice or disturb him!

" It's alright." Samuel picked up the little girl in his arms much to her mother's horror and asked," What are you going to do if you meet Harry potter?"

" I-I want to learn magic too! I also want to defeat the bad people!" She said with excited face.

" hahaha, do you know a lot of bad guys?"

" Yes, there is Sharon that always mess with me! I want to teach her a lesson!"

" But you can't do magic before you are ten years old. What are you going to do for time being?"

" I don't know." She said with a sad face.

" Right I know, Madam, do you have a cellphone?" Samuel asked the mother who was a lot calmer when she heard him gently talking to her daughter.

" Pardon?"

" Could you take a picture of me and..."

" Ella." Her mother added.

" Me and Ella, whenever they try to mess with you just show them that you know the real Harry Potter. Tell them that no one messes with Harry's friends!" He proclaimed and took off his mask.

Her mother couldn't believe her eyes, it was actually Harry! She immediately started taking pictures. Samuel took various poses with her, ever put her on his shoulders just to make her look good. After that, the mother thanked him again and again before she left along with her daughter.

With so much commotion, other people also started noticing him so he immediately rushed inside the building.

" Please take this private elevator. The store already have some customers, but if you want we can clear it for you." The person introduced herself as the manager. Samuel called Georgio last minute but he was able to inform his staff about his arrival.

" There is no need for that, I will only be here for short time."

" As you wish Mr. Samuel." She took him from the staff entrance, toward where they stored their clothes. Soon, John also joined him and they started looking at clothes together.

" Excuse me? Can I look at some cheaper version of these clothes?" John whispered to one of the staffs.

" Certainly sir, Please wait a moment, I will ask someone to bring our cheapest collection." He didn't said it loudly but Samuel's keen ear picked up their conversation.

" What are you doing old man!? I told you, I will get the bill this time!"

" But young master, these are too expensive! Beside, my wife would never fit in one of these. She is quite old to wear such flashy clothes!"

" Do you dare to say that in front of her? Whatever, show him what he wants and." He pulled the manager closer." Just rip off the price tags before you bring it to him. It's for his wife so any plain collection would do, just put everything on my tab. I will settle it with Old man Georgio." He whispered discreetly.

The manager immediately left and brought out few clothes that looked plain but were made out of excellent materials. Everyone knew that the clothes that are plastered with logos were hundred times cheaper than plain clothes from the same brand.

Fortunately, John didn't know about these things. He chose few that he thought were cheap, he liked the overall design and simplicity of it. Samuel smiled looking at him happily shopping without any clue.

Soon, they were done with his wife's shopping and it was time for Samuel to focus on what he was going to wear for the premier.
