"Manager Timothy?
Summer couldn't help but call out the name of Mia's Manager
"Yes?
He waited for the question or whatever it is Summer had to say
"Umm..." Summer scratched her chin "....are these all the cakes here?
She asked him, cause she really needed to confirm something
Not knowing the direction her question was going to, Timothy nodded in affirmation
"Yes, I guess"
He shrugged
Just in time, a waitress walked over from the inner counter to attend to them
"Good day Sir, good day...lady"
The waitress dragged the part where the greeting was meant for Summer
Summer was putting on her signature ragged jeans and big polo with a baseball cap on, nothing ladylike nor gracious at all, so due to this fact, the waitress made her analysis and summed it up merely looking at Summer's appearance
Her eyes flickered to manager Timothy and she shook her head inwardly pitying the young handsome man
The poor girl must have leached on the rich guy
She thought
Summer ignored her checkout look on her, looking at the cakes one more time, she pulled her gaze away and settled them on the waitress
"We want this cake over here"
Summer said pointing her index on the red coated cake with cherries on top and coco powder drippings on it
"But seeing the price, just wanna know if it's buy one and get two free"
Manager Timothy grinned and chuckled immediately while the waitress nearly puked blood, her eyes widened at a measurable area
Infact she was awestruck and dumbfounded as she helplessly glanced at Timothy, who she assumed as Summer's boyfriend
Timothy eyed the lady to ignore what Summer said, he then whispered to Summer
"That's the price, there isn't any get free anything"
He laughed as he said the last part
"Why is it so expensive then?
Summer asked innocently
"Maybe because it's made with the most expensive quality ever or you know maybe ... you should know this right?
Timothy answered with uncertainty
Actually the prize was nothing to him, being the manger of the most infamous actress in the whole of LA and more for many years and he came from a rich family.
He could understand that the girl beside him was new to all this but how she let her expression show like an open book was something that still amazed him
Somehow, deep within him, there was a tiny flame of feeling lit up
The waitress still stood rooted, not knowing if she should package it or not
Weren't they rich people? Then why are they still hesitating in buying this?
Surely, the cake was an expensive one but they should be able to afford something like this right?
"Wrap it up".
Timothy told the waitress who heaved a sigh of relief and proceeded to retrieve the cake from its position, she disappeared behind the door
"Ah ah.. why are you grinning?
Summer asked Mia's Manager
Timothy frowned and wiped his chin
"Was I?
He was actually grinning, what Summer said still made him feel funny
"Yeah you were, people would really think I'm with a mad person or something"
Summer mumbled the last part so Tim didn't hear
The waitress came out few minutes later with a white box wrapped with a golden ribbon, the box had the signature of Richie Bites on it
One look and you'll know it's no ordinary treatment.
Rich people.
Summer thought and gladly took the box carefully
"Here let me help"
Tim suggested with his arms stretched out, Summer shook her head to protest but Tim had already taken the box from her
Due to being careful as to not fall the box accidentally, Tim was so close to Summer, their shoulders almost touching
"Hey, don't tell me you've been standing"
Susanne walked up to where Lucian stood
"You got two?
Lucian frowned
"Yup, for you and I, let's go"
Susanne urged but Lucian wasn't even looking at her
"Wait in the car for me"
Was what Lucian said before he began walking out even before Susanne could protest
She stood stupefied, watching him walked towards the counter quite far away from where she stood, in confusion she saw him stop in front of a couple with his hands
Her eyes widened even more when Lucian brought his right hand out of his pocket and the next thing he did was to drag the lady outside
Who is she?
Is she someone Lucian knows?
But is it even possible for Lucian to know someone like that?
Tim himself wasn't any less shocked as he stood rooted in a spot
Wasn't that Lucian Stuart?
So why did he pull Summer with him just now?
Summer looked like someone who would make trouble without caring about your background
Had she somehow offended the master of the Stuart's?
That was what Tim thought
Susanne briskly walked over to Tim
"You're Timothy Godfrey right? Diva Mia's Manager, who is that lady with you and how did she know Lucian?
She asked in a demanding tone, making Tim frown
He hated it when someone sounds bossy to him
Mia never talks to him that way, who does she think she is?
"And who are you?
Tim asked
"What ...you!!
Susanne was short of words
He asked who she was?
He actually asked who she was?!!!!
Who doesn't know her, she's an infamous model under the Stuarts and this manager dares to question her identity?
Actually Timothy recognizes her but he wanted to piss her off, just as she had pissed him off.
He knew people of rich backgrounds, they had things in common no matter how different their attitude were
No renown person would accept it when someone questions their identity as they would feel belittled.
...
OUTSIDE RICHIE BITES>>>
Summer forcefully pulled her hand out of Lucian's
"Mr Stuart was that supposed to mean?!
She asked with gritted teeth
Lucian scratched the back of his head
"Did you perhaps hit your head on something to cause you amnesia? Why didn't you show up last night huh? you're taking this as a joke aren't you?
Summer blinked rapidly as she looked away from him
She could already see curious glances from few people around them and all she wanted to do was to find somewhere and hide, Tim was right inside when this Lucifer dragged her out!
What would he think?!
"Was that why you pulled me out with you? You clearly saw I was with someone, God damnit!!
Summer half yelled in frustration and annoyance
"With someone? You mean that man in there?
Lucian's gaze darkened
"Do not forget about our contract, girl. Fake or not, you're still married to me and so you should appear less in public acting all touchy with a man, understand me. I paid you for this and this is more like a boss-employee relationship"
Lucian spat
Summer had never felt so angry in her life before
How dare he!!!
Lucifer!!!
"Ohhhh ...so you do remember it's a contract, huh Man? Maybe you're the one with amnesia here"
Summer retorted, making Lucian's gaze darken slightly
Lucian raised his index, pointing at her and the next moment, he brought it down trying his best to calm himself down as he looked away from her unwavering bold facial expression
Something is wrong.
Something is definitely wrong, yes something should be wrong with him lately for him to behave this way
Dragging her out with him...
He tried to recall what prompted that action in him
She was now his wife even though fake and if she was seen with other men, it might bring repercussions later on
That was why he got angry.
Yes, that must be the reason. It's explainable, understandable and logical.
Lucian thought, convincing himself
"Aren't you a sassy one"
He smirked
Summer got annoyed.
This man is just so so unreasonable!
"Why are you even bothering about it? Remember what was stated in the contract, not minding each other's business! What happened to that part huh?
"Listen, I've paid you what you wanted, you better do not joke with this, or else I'll make life something you'll regret living for"
Lucian threatened with all seriousness and this time Summer got really scared
The fire and dangerous glint in his eyes, the way he looked at her made her shiver
She felt the temperature had dropped several degrees lower, making her chilly
Just in, Tim walked out with Susanne not too far behind
"Mr Stuart, is there a problem here?
Tim asked politely as he looked from Lucian to Summer
Lucian's gaze darkened dangerously seeing the man who interrupted him
"And who are you?
