Be ready for a storm

"She provoked me despite my apologies", Alice squinted & glared at the woman.

"You...", the woman looked around carefully, "Just you wait & watch!"

Cath furrowed her brow, and just as she was about to pull Alice away, she noticed a few armed bodyguards approaching them from behind the lady. Her voice immediately softened and her expression turned pitiful, "My dear, I know I'm wrong. If you want to hit or yell, do it to me, please don't blame them…"

Alice paused, and in the next second, the lady fell to the ground as if Alice had pushed her.

The bodyguards & some people came running & began to panic.

"You..." a bodyguard raised his voice, "How dare you knock our Madam?"

Alice clenched her fists & glared at them viciously. She was trembling from head to toe. Cath noticed it & grabbed the keys out of Alice's hand. Then, she pushed her into the backseat & Cath herself jumped into the driver's seat. She quickly drove out of the parking lot.

"Who the hell is that woman?", Alice muttered under her breath as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Look, Alice", Cath tried to calm her down, "If she's really someone important then we're in real trouble."

"Let's go to the agency."

"Yeah", Cath turned the car to the left.

Alice looked out of the window & saw the lively buildings running behind them in a wheeze. The air was tense & gloomy.

As soon as they reached the agency, they reported everything to Amy and Aunty Shoo. After hearing everything, Amy concluded, "Be ready for a storm."

Very soon, a commotion was heard. The security was pushed in & a few bodyguards along with a lawyer entered the corridor.

They stopped right in front of the group of four. A bodyguard gestured & the lawyer began to speak.

"I, hereby, charge Miss Alice Buds for physically assaulting my client who is a middle-aged lady."

Alice squinted at him before nodding to Amy. Amy nodded & gestured something.

Another lawyer appeared right in front of the two groups. The other lawyer was shocked & his mouth hung open.

The lawyer was none other than the famous D.K. He smirked before saying, "I, hereby, charge Mrs. Clinton for shamelessly defaming my client, who's a rising star of the music industry."

The lawyer's mouth twitched, "But, how? She assaulted my client by pushing her."

D.K. smiled coldly, "I, D.K., never sue someone without evidence."

The bodyguard standing nearby was alarmed, but managed to speak, "What evidence?"

"Check your phone!" D.K. sneered.

Everyone, present there, including the people in the agency, who gathered for the show, immediately grabbed their phones.

The ones who were not faltered were Alice's group. Creepy smiles were pasted on their faces.

Alice's thoughts ran back to an hour ago.

"You...", the lady viciously gritted her teeth, ready to fight!

Cath pulled her back immediately, but the lady grabbed Alice by her collar, "How dare you hit me? Do you know who I'm?"

"No, I don't know", Alice shrugged nonchalantly.

Cath whispered in her ear, "Stop it!"

"Why would I?", Alice spoke loudly as possible, "She provoked me despite my apologies."

Suddenly, Alice spotted someone behind the shadows. Looking closely, Peach was capturing the video & she nodded & smiled at Alice. Alice nodded back.

Present time

The people of the agency, the bodyguards & the lawyers were clearly shocked. The video was going viral & the citizens were pissed off. They were commenting harshly. After all, their princess was assaulted & they didn't know the behind story.

"Who the hell is she to hit our Alice?"

"Was she bored with household chores?"

"How come she calls herself as someone important?"

"I guess, I saw her somewhere."

"Hey! She works in the Paradise Theatres."

"No wonder she acted so boldly."

"I guess someone paid her to do that."

Red-faced, the lawyer & the bodyguards fled the scene.

The news channels were reporting closely about the incident. Even they found out that the video was released by Peach Middleton.

"Peach, how did you manage to capture the video?"

"Recently, I joined my dream job after opting out from the music industry. I was just returning from my shift when I noticed the show."

The reporters smiled at her answer, "Are you doing this because you owe Alice too much?"

"I do", Peach nodded.

Alice & others who were watching the live stream sighed. The video had created quite a commotion. The result was that Alice got her official fan page because her fans wanted to protect her.
