"We have workers here as young as fifteen in my eyes you got talent you shouldn't have to wait till you eighteen to work in a shop I was fourteen working in my mothers shop" she said as nina nodded

"I was wondering why you didn't ask for a license" nina chuckled knowing if that was the case she would be doing hair out of her grandmothers kitchen

"It's not really a requirement from me but if you see the state board lock up your station because it's not legal" she said and nina nodded but kinda confused why she would risk her business

"I love helping people and for people to show their talents so I would take the risk" she said reading her mind

"Here we are you can decorate how you like keep clean and don't steal anyones products you should be good here since your new we'll send you the walk ins" she said and nina nodded

"Thank you" nina said smiling

"No problem see you later baby" she said about to walk away

"It was good though I made a friend he's going to teach me how to tattoo" she said smiling

"And I seen your fake grandchild" niara said rolling her eyes

"And who is that" granny asked

"The one who don't talk"

"Oh my baby mark" she said smiling

"He talks just not to you or people he doesn't know it's a reasoning behind that baby maybe if you tried to get to know him you would see that" she said kissing her forehead then walking out
