Chapter 8: This is my wife.
"Do I need to tell you to get the dress by yourself? You devil, so disgusting". Presch roared, she came to shop at the Everest shopping mall in City B, one of the luxurious shopping mall. She is one of the VIP there and expects to be treated differently.
The sale associate Presch shouted on was so afraid. She quickly went to get the dress the annoying woman requested for. How can such woman be treated equally? If not because of the money she has. The sale associate said to herself. "If you don't answer me on time, I will leave here, and youu know what?, when I leave, you are done for, nonsense".
"Sorry ma, this is your dress". Presch looked at the lady frowning her face. "I am not interested in buying anymore, I don't want the dress again".
"Ma, I am so sorry, I didn't get it stain, it is clean just as it is". The sales associate said, having a sudden headache because of this bitch called a VIP customer".
"I said I don't want anymore. You said it not stained? Hmph, touching the dress already has got it stained. You stink. Manager! Manager! Fire this riff raff here, now!".
While the commotion was ongoing, Flora was outside the shopping mall, she had come along with Beauty to get some things. She thought of getting somethings for Scott's parents. When she went to his company, he had told her she would be meeting his family soon. She never thought it would be so fast to meet his family. Everything still looks like a dream to her.
She is now married, so she decided to get some things for his family. She knew they lack nothing, so ordinary things won't move them. So she just thought of getting something little expensive and different.
Beauty had asked her who she was buying things for, Flora had denied that it was for a long time friend.
As they were talking, Beauty got a call from Roy and had to leave Flora outside the mall to shop alone.
As Flora entered the mall, she was welcomed with a noise from the other side of the mall. She asked the sale attendant at the desk what was happening, the sale attendant told her she know nothing about it, since her position was to attend to customers when they want to pay for their goods.
Flora dissipated the idea of going to where the noise was coming from. She continued walking on her own to see the items the mall has. A young lady in the Mall's uniform came forward to Flora's side. "Ma'am, these are too expensive, I know you can't afford it. Let me take you to a cheap item section. At there, you would be able to buy a lot of things". The girl said disgustedly.
"And is this how you were being trained to talk to your customers?, with no manners. Are you sure you didn't boycott to get a job here, because Everest mall of all Malls in City B won't lack great eye sight in employing people".
"Excuse me ma, I didn't insult you, morever you aren't a VIP here. So, is anything bad in what I just said?". The girl voiced out proudly, raising her voice.
"You would be thought a lesson, I promise you". Flora smiled and walked pass her. As she was going to another section, she had the same voice and noise, but now the noise was louder than before. She thought of who the person might be, the voice sounded familiar to her.
She appeared at the scene of the noise due to her curiosity and what she heard. Why would a human bully another human like him or her because of what reason?
"If she is a riff raff, what are you then"? Flora asked. Presch just stood still with amazement. She immediately changed her expression and laughed out loud. "What is a poor wench woman doing here? This place isn't for people like you. What can you afford? Nothing. You better leave before I disgrace you more".
"Are you done? Your mouth seems to be bigger than that of your brain. Broe never told you? You aren't even ashame of yourself, after snatching your sister's boyfriend with trickish manners and jealousy, you still have the audacity and effrontery to speak trash".
"You are the one who is a bitch'. Presch couldn't hold it in anymore and started shouting. "The last time I saw you, you were clingy to a rich man. The one you did with Broe wasn't okay? You are a betrayal and a prostitute. Do you think you can enter into a rich family? They would use you and dump you and by that time, please don't come crying at my doorstep".
"Ohhh, you saw or you were told? Did you have people stalking and monitoring my movement? Wow, I didn't know I am so famous to have some secret bodyguards that guided me. I didn't even pay you, yet you do it for me freely. Smiles, thanks so much Presch".
Presch was furious after hearing this. "That rich man won't marry you, he isn't even up to Broe's standard".
"Who told you that? She is my wife and nobody dare mess with her". A thunderous dangerous voice sounded behind Flora. She was also caught up unaware.
Scott placed his hand on her shoulder and drew her closer to him. "She is my wife and who the hell are you? I don't even want to know, she is now part of the Silver family".
The sales associates present were all shocked. So this woman was our boss' wife? Aren't we all doomed? The girl who spoke rudely to Flora was now regretting. "You you uuuuu, married? You are married? When?".
"Yes I am married and Scott here is my husband, I mean legal husband. You can continue your life with Broe, however, I never drag him with you. I am not an husband snatcher like you". She held Scott hand as she spoke. Scott inside him, was feeling overjoyed, he smiled brightly which shocked the sale associates.
Everest shopping mall is own by the Silver family, only few people knew about this and the workers working there. It had been a confidential thing among the workers in the mall, the manager had warned them not to disclose their boss name, but can be opened only when needed in an important situation.
Presch was really annoyed and scared. She was feeling different emotions crawling all over her body. She is annoyed because Flora never inform her or her mother, didn't she count them as family? What a bitch and ungrateful girl she is. She remembered her mother's care towards her, but all she do is to pay back with wickedness.
Then she is also scared of Scott who was present, she would have insulted and voiced out her mind to the ungrateful Flora, but Scott's presence and aura was subduing her. This man is really handsome and he is every girl's dream, but how can a girl live with such man with this kind of cold aura, she said to herself.
Scott had already taken Flora away before Presch came back to reality. "Ma'am, please leave now". The manager who had been summoned urgently came to Presch to relay the boss command.
"What do you mean? Don't you know I am a VIP here? Do you want to lose customers?". She said boasting. "The boss, I mean the owner of this shopping mall is Mr Silver Scott and he had asked me to throw you out of here, his wife also told me to carry out the task ma, or you would face a bigger punishment".
"What??". You will all regret this I promise". She said with tears and left the mall. The young sale associate girl who spoke rudely to Flora was demoted to being a cleaner, or with another option to quit working in the mall.
Scott accompanied Flora throughout her shopping. She got the things she want. To her surprise, everyone in the mall changed in the way they address her.
While in the car with Flora. Scott's mother, Bronze Charlotte, called to plead with him on behalf of Maxson. "Mother, I have heard you, I have forgiven him. I'll reverse my punishment on him, is that all?". "Yes that is all, thanks my dear son".
Immediately he cut the call, he called grandfather to inform him about his new wife he would be bringing along to visit the family and grandpa willingly agreed. Hearing this, Flora was more nervous to meet the Silver family.
Before heading to the Silver family, they planned on having a meal. While sitted at the high classic restaurant, Flora phone rang, it was the man investigating her parent's death calling.
"Oh, there is something available already? Good to hear, I'll call you later to schedule a date for us to meet. Thanks so much". Scott kept on eating without interfering, he was wondering who she was talking to.
"Mum, that bitch has betrayed us. Did you know she is now married?" Presch told her mother with disgust and jealousy. "What did you mean my baby? Married to who? When?"
"Mum, I met her at Everest shopping mall with Silver Scott, the same Silver Scott in City B, they are legally married. The Silver family are also the one who own Everest shopping mall".
"You mean she is married to that wealthy man? How did she do that? And how sure are you that they are legally married, did they show you any evidence?"
"That's true mum, I didn't see any evidence. But despite your care towards her, she could get married at your back, so ungrateful. Mum, they also disgraceful me, you have to make them pay mum". She said while crying and hugging her mother.
"It okay my love, I'll make sure I do something to appease you, I promise". Cyelene reassured her daughter, thinking of ways to deal with Flora for making her princess cry.
After Roy sent Beauty the time and address for them to meet, she prepared herself to meet him on time because she had been busy with her fashion business. "Don't waste my time please, anything you want to say, say it fast. I have a lot to do".
"Okay, I will fo everything fast. Firstly, how have you been? It been a long time". He asked out if concern.
"Have been very good as you can see. What else did you expect? She replied nonchalantly. "How's your family and businesses too?
"All good, yours?" She asked him also. "Good too. Can we forget about the past and move on. I'll like to be your friend and I promise there won't be anything more than that. Just give me this little chance I beg of you. I know I had hurt you in the past, but please I had my reasons. Just let us be friends please".
He pleaded faithfully with her. "I'll think about it, because I never told you I am in need of a friend".
"Okay, okay, I'll give you time then". He said with joy. They kept on talking, but Roy was the one bringing up conversation with smile, while Beauty was reluctantly answering him, she felt suffocated.
