CHAPTER 61: SHE HAS LOST HER MIND
“What the hell did you just….”Victoria was saying but stopped when she saw the gorgeous faces of the 2 top richest bachelors in Newtown, Douglas and Frederick present in the room and she almost started burning with fury when she realized that she might be sold out by her friend to this handsome demon.
“I want to conclude this is a mistake so, I will be going out now to our room, I’m sorry for the disturbance, “Victoria says, bowing 180°, turning around to leave the room.
“But I don’t think it’s a mistake because my friend here has been waiting for f,” Freyourck says in a cold voice pointing towards Douglas that keeps looking at Victoria without saying anything.
“And can I say I wasn’t informed of this dinner so, I will like to take my leave now, “Victoria says, turning around and Olivia quickly holding her, not letting her leave.
“Didn’t I ask you to get a rope sir Douglas how are you going to let her stay if we can’t tie her down??” Olivia says dramatically holding the struggling Victoria Douglas and his friend surprised at the display in front of them.
“If you can stay and have dinner with me my company will sponsor some ads in your magazines,” Douglas says like the spoiled young master he is and Olivia facepalms herself for how Douglas just spoils everything because of what he said.
Everyone in the room was expecting Victoria’s outburst about the outrageous demands of Douglas but they didn’t see anything forthcoming.
“What did he promise you for you to sell me out”Victoria turned to ask Olivia.
“An exclusive report,” Olivia says shamefully looking at her foot.
“How cheap you should have asked for something bigger,” Victoria says calculatingly, taking her seat in front of Douglas and they all get shocked at how she acted.
“You guys fit to be friends,” Frederick says unconsciously and then he turns to Douglas whispering to him “How did you know to convince her”.
“She is a career woman of course she will like to excel at her work”Douglas whispered back.
“It’s going to be a lot of work working your way into her heart, good luck,” Frederick says patting his friend and he nods his head knowing he needs the encouragement.
“So what did you guys like to take?”Douglas asked, passing the menu to them.
Victoria and Olivia go through the menu and they stare at it mouth agape not believing the price of the food on the menu. Why is the food so expensive here? $1, 000 for a soup!!!. Olivia and Victoria both stared at themselves not believing that they were going to eat something so expensive like that Douglas noticed the dilemma so he just collected the menu from them and then picked the food and ordered the waiters to bring it in.
“This place is so expensive and I kinda feel indebted….”Victoria was saying but Douglas cuts in.
“If you feel indebted then treat me to dinner next time,” Douglas says, seizing the opportunity and Frederick smiles at how his friend is a sharpshooter.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I never say I feel indebted,” Victoria argued.
“But isn’t it right to return a favor,” Douglas counterattacked and the waiter entered the room bringing their food but the two didn’t stop their argument.
“But I never asked you to treat me to dinner, “Victoria says. true,” Frederick says and Douglas glared at him.
“Hmm, but isn’t it right that you treat me to dinner?”Douglas asked pitifully.
“I will consider it if you get me an interview with someone”.
“Who,” Douglas asked confidently because he is sure he can get her interviews with anyone in the country.
“The CEO of Smith advertisements, “Victoria says.
“What?”Douglas asked again to be sure.
“Your brother Micheal Smith”Victoria says and Frederick looks at her like she has loose some screw in her head.
“Why did you want to interview my brother?”.
“Because I think he will be more insightful than you since he is taking care of the family business rather exquisitely,” Victoria says frankly but she doesn’t notice that the demeanor of the two men has changed.
“What to do I don’t think I can get you an interview with him because he is a very busy man,” Douglas says avoiding Victoria’s eyes the two girls noticed that the mood in the room has dampened so, they don’t bring up the matter again since they noticed that it’s the cause.
“Can we stop talking in front of these beautiful foods? I think it’s such a disrespect to discuss in front of this beautiful creation”Olivia says, stuffing her mouth with food.
“Can you stop embarrassing yourself and take it easy on the food so you won’t get indigestion,” Victoria says through gritted teeth the two friends smile at the silliness of the girls, and the private room was filled with clanking of cutleries, and Olivia’s nonstop voice that kept complimenting how good the food is.
Back at the Hale ancestral mansion, Georgina was directed to the restroom by a maid after her outburst at the dining hall and when she made sure that the maid had left.
“What the hell!!” she screamed.
“What were you thinking Gina, you must have lost your mind?” She said, shaking her head and agreeing with herself.
“You must have lost some screw in your head! How could you say something like that!”I screamed again, angry with myself.
“How can you talk back to your mother-in-law?”I say looking at my crazy self in the mirror but I started laughing at my madness.
“But it’s cool to let it out like that”.
“I might die of suffocation if I hold all that anger in, “I say and I started dressing my brown hair again since it’s now rough due to my earlier assault on it.
“You go out and you bow down to apologize or you go there and act as if nothing happened like the crazy psycho you are, “I say, looking at myself in the mirror.
AUTHOR’S NOTE:The two friends are crazy, one sold her friend because of an exclusive and one sold herself for ads sponsorship but I think the craziest one is Georgina.
