Chapter 312: A man who needs a plan
Andrew knew that Amir and his grandmother were behaving as if they weren’t watching the jeweler run around, but Andrew didn’t have that level of professionalism to not do so. In another circumstance, yeah, but in a sparkly, almost hospital-like environment? Andrew’s head was on a swivel.
Andrew had a feeling that if they were in an actual hospital they might have opposite reactions, but then again, the Beckett family was also involved with hospitals as well, so maybe Amir would be used to it. Andrew wasn’t sure, and it honestly didn’t matter.
What mattered was that it was obvious that the poor guy was having a hard time, and Jennifer wasn’t helping out. She should have been, but maybe she was too busy trying to figure out who Andrew was attached to to care about the actual service they received.
"Are all stores this cutthroat?" Andrew asked quietly to Amir and his grandmother. Amir’s grandmother patted Andrew’s hand, chuckling.
"No. So in a way, this was also a good introduction into what not to look for when actually purchasing the ring. Clearly they have written us off because of what you said, and every action that’s followed so far. The jeweler has a chance to make it up to us. He’s been dealt a rather shitty hand. It’s all in how he recovers this." Amir’s grandmother said, his eyes curled at the corners and Amir had a similar expression on his face.
Andrew chuckled. They were as bad as the Beckett’s, but quieter about it.
"You and Ben are a match made in heaven." Andrew said quietly and Amir lit up. His face sparkling while his grandmother laughed. Hearty, full belly laughs.
"Andrew my dear, you shouldn’t say something like that. The others who know might get smart." He teased, squeezing Andrew’s arm. Andrew smiled. He was sure part of the reason that they were being treated the way that they were was due to the fact that they were both omegas. It was...pretty obvious what they were. If they had been alone, without Andrew, he had a feeling that they would be treated even worse.
Andrew didn’t like that reality, so he tended to avoid places that upset him like this. He honestly hoped that Amir’s grandparents reconsidered working with a place that was treating all of them like this. It wasn’t lost on him, nor he was sure anyone else in their two groups, that Maria and her family who were white were being treated much better than Andrew, Amir and his grandmother.
