Chapter 45
“What?!” I yelled in anger. “What is the meaning of this?!”
I tried cleaning off the stain before it would solidify to no avail. The damage had already been done.
My designer’s gown had been ruined.
I looked at the person who had caused the damage to see her smirk.
“Are you going to get rid of this stain on my dress?” I asked with a plain face.
She suddenly got annoyed by that question staring at me like I had hit her with a sledgehammer.
“How dare you say such words to me?” she gasped but even a blind person could tell that everything she did was fake.
“That was clearly an accident. I had no idea it would resort to this.”
Her lies fumed me up even more as I had my fists ready to pummel her face in.
“However, if you’re going to be such a worry wart and try to spoil our gathering, then I’ll have no choice but to aid in some way. If you’re going to make me pay for the dress I can do it, money is not a problem for me.”
The more she talked the more furious I became.
“So tell me how much it is then I can easily spare some change for the dress.”
“Is that right?” I gave a slight smile.
“Yeah. And like I said, money is not a problem for me.”
“Alright, the dress costs twenty eight thousand dollars,” I sighed, waving my hand like it was nothing but when I looked back at her she had her jaw to the ground in shock.
She had not been expecting that price but I didn’t care. Since she said money was not a problem then that was how we were going to play it.
“You’re lying!” she scoffed. “There is no way this dress costs twenty eight thousand dollars. What kind of joke is this?”
“Oh come one zen,” another joined in. “There is no need for you to be so selfish and why be such a liar. That dress costs at maximum fifty dollars or maybe a hundred but not twenty thousand.”
“She said it was twenty eight thousand,” Aiden laughed, slapping his thighs as the others on the table joined him. “Look, I know you look hot and all but there’s no need for you to try and leech off Mirian. That dress is not that expensive.”
“I can’t believe you’ve fallen so low that you’d want to scam us by any means even when we’re meeting for the first time in a very long time,” another woman said while drinking from her cup.
“You keep doing this stupid charade and we’ll leave the bill for you to pay since you want to be so dumb,” Aiden added.
I sighed as I was too tired to argue with them. I was not going to sit and watch them insult me.
“Instead of arguing with you all since it is very clear you all are dumb and stupid, and poor if I might add, why don’t you just go through the internet and search for the dress yourself,” I sighed.
“You know what, maybe I will,” Mirian said, getting out her phone as she scrolled through it. “What’s the name?”
“Gregor red,” I said, sipping my drink.
I waited for some time before hearing a gasp as she found it to be true.
“Jesus,” I heard her say.
I looked at her and everyone around the table to see them overtaken with embarrassment. I did not need to google the price, I knew how much it cost.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“So, I am going to need that money upfront for the dress since you obviously have more than enough money to spare,” I smiled at her.
“Oh… about that,” she muttered.
“I can’t hear you,” I said.
“I-it will take me my three months salary to pay for the dress so can you give me some time?”
This had me laughing out loud as I laid back in my seat to stare at all of them.
“Look at you all. I thought you must have changed but instead you all are still despicable and very dumb. After everything this is still how I am being treated. Like a common thief and liar. It’s funny how you all saw me as a cheap person who wants to take your money.
“You all are boastful liars. All talk and no bite. You all are nothing before me. As for you Mirian, you talked about how rich your husband is and how you married someone with millions yet you cannot get out the money to replace the damage you’ve caused.
“You are boastful and always talk big about marrying a big man but you’re still a secretary who slept with the HR manager to get that position.
Picking up my phone, I called Travis who was still awake.
“Hey,” I said over the phone while it was on loudspeaker for them to hear it.
“Hey, what’s up?” he said.
“Nothing much, I have a list of people I want fired from the company.”
“Sure, send in their names and it will be done.”
I nodded, dropping the call as I typed their names before sending it to him.
“You can’t be serious,” Mirian said in shock. “You’re abusing your power.”
“Would you want me to inform your husband of your doings?” I chuckled. “I can do that. Are you still seeing the three men behind his back?”
She fell silent as I smirked at her. They all started to beg me that they needed their jobs to survive but I was not in the mood to be mushy with any of them.
“I don’t care,” I said to my feet. “You can all go to hell.”
I finished my drink, called the waiter to notify that they would pay for my drink and walked towards my car.
They could only nod when asked by the waiter if it was true.
I entered my car, driving home with a smile at how I had overturned their opinions of me.
