74 Unknowingly Meeting the Archenemy

Sophie remains in a thunderstruck state for a long fraction of a moment, looking completely caught off guard.

Never did she think that she would be crossing paths with Cassidy so soon. She really didn't recognize her at all. If the store manager did not ask for her name, she would stay oblivious the entire time. 

But then again, anyone who had little contact with her would not probably recognize her as well. She appears very different now - even more than last night. With that red hair of hers, she definitely looks like a whole new person. 

"Cassidy... Millicent...?" the store manager blurted out in deep thought, trying to recall where he heard that name before. 

"Y-You mean... that Cassidy Millicent?!"

As soon as it clicks in his head, he ends up reacting thoroughly astounded. His eyes widen like that of an owl while his jaw drops for the nth time that hour. It's so unexpected that he's finding it hard to believe.
