Dinner from hell (4)

They have visited 10 designer boutiques, and yet Miranda still has not found the dress that she sees fit to wear for tonight's occasion.

Francesca has grown tired of her and sneered secretly.

'What does it matter, i will win anyway'

"Miranda, talk to me, what type of dress are you looking for and what is the occasion?"

Miranda felt dejected since she wanted a dress that can present a soft demure yet also able to described her as a sharp and talented woman that can stand beside Daniel.

"Grandma Gianna invited me for a family dinner at the Anderson's tonight, and guess what? That trecherous Alice will be there as well!!! I got the invitation so late that i have no time to go abroad to retrieve the dress ive been wanting"

She stomped her feet frustrated with all the designers in the city.

"Is Helena going to be there as well?"

"Helena?? Why would your unhinged sister be there???"

"Well, im sorry, i was being ignorsnt, she has been staying at Daniel's hotel presidential suite, and i dont know how she manage to get his favor"

Miranda's eyes widen,

"Why is your sister able to get that??"

"I dont know, she was so arrogant, saying Daniel favors her and was looking down upon me as well, i told her to stay away from him sine i know both of you are going to be engaged, but.. She push me and would not listen to me.. Eventhough she is my sister, i cant let her act unrestrained since you are my friend afterall" she felt aggrieved as shs uttered those lies.

"Fran, did you really fought your sister for me?"

Miranda held Francesca's arm, grateful of her.

"Of course! My sister is a headache, she is spoiled rotten and i wont let her be a homewrecker as well"

"Oh Fran!! Thank you!! Keep an eye on her, I will watch Alice on my side, you will keep an eye on your sister for me okay? Now, lets go and find something for us, my treats"

Miranda walked ahead of Francesca that is watching her back with pure disgust, once Miranda turned, her face smiled again and she stride back to her to catch up, both holding hands without a care in the world and little that Mirands knows, she has fall onto Francesca trap.

Molly overheard their conversations, however she has no means to contact Helena, she made a mental note to ask Daniel of the room she is staying. She loves being around Helena, despite her unfiltered mouth, she is a genuinely kind and caring person. She is also not consumed by jealousy, that makes her one of a kind in the elite society. Her life has been different since her and Cade made the tabloids headline. Some adore her thinking she is like a cinderella and some hated her and calling her gold digger and undeserving of a great man.

she is merely in love with a man who has everything and in this cruel life, everything has a price and hers is her privacy. She sat down in the middle of the courtyard in the mall to run from people that keeps flattering her, tiredness washes over her when she keeps her facade and her mouth hurts from the smiling she has to endure.

However she needed to start looking for something to wear tonight, Cade specifically asked her to look presentable since he wants to bring her to their private family dinner. Cade has been draining her as well, he had sent her to learn about ettiquets and try to make her fitting in the upper class society. For the love, she willingly endure, she knew she needed to live up to the Anderson reputations, however it is slowly consuming her mental health. Everything she loves to do is no longer allowed. She loves eating at the road side stall and Cade strictly prohibited her from doing so. He selected her friends for her since she will be the future Anderson Matriarch, she have to learn to socialize herself only with people that in the same class as them. No Noveu rich but only the old money.

Tears droplet dripped on her palm as her head lowered not wanting to be recognized in public. Adjustjng her sunglasses she secretly wiped her tears to get back and find something to wear.

She walked back to direction she was from earlier, wandering around until her eye caught the dress that was just put on display rack. This boutique is known to only have one design and one size. It intended for the buyer to enjoy the exclusive of wearing one kind of a dress, therefore she hurried her step and entering the boutique together with Miranda and Francesca.

"Can i have this dress please" Molly smiled to the sales executive that greeted her with professionalism.

"Yes Miss definitely."

She took off the dress from the display mannequin and ready to wral it for her before the dress was snatch by Miranda.

Wrapped it for me, a humble woman like dont deserved tocwear something so beautiful. She is a social climber and a gold digger. " pure contempt laced in her voice like a venomous snake.

"I apologize miss, the dress is alreadt taken" therefore the sales person snatched it back from Mirands that was flabbergasted by the brazen Sales lady.

The sales lady is not stupid, she knew who Molly is, she has been keeping up with the rich society gossip and viewed her as a breakthrough for middle class people like them, it gives them hope that if Anderson Clan willing to accept Molly, they too has a chance to enter the marriage with a rich heir and not just their bed warmer.

"How dare you!!!!! " she snatched the dress back and not willing to let go.

Molly can feel the intense gaze coming from the onlooker, Cade will definitely scolded her if she is found quarelling over a dress.

"That is okay Miss, let her have it, can you show me if you have anything else that has not been displayed".

The sales lady nodded and left Miranda with a dress on her hand. Greed swarmed her seeing Molly is treated like royalty. Francesca on the other hand is discreetly manifesting this treatment, this is what she meant by wanting the status that comes with Anderson. Molly is just a normal woman and yet she has been treated with gentle and care by all of the staff.

"Miranda, let it go, Molly is Cade's woman now, we will be in trouble, and you are going to be Daniel's wife as well, but you are not even bragging of your status, this Molly is getting brave" Francesca stood next to her and whisper the poisonous words to her.

Miranda felt challenged, she is going to be Daniel's wife and she knows it. Yet she is discarded by trash.

"Stop!!!! " Miranda marched towards them and slapped Molly on the face as hard as she could.

Holding her cheek, she was stunned to see Miranda has resort to a violence means.

"You are so shameless!! Parading around your status as Cade's kept woman! Francesca here is much more qualified to be with Cade then you, yet she did not hover over the man!! You are a gold digger with no status and dare to exercise your authority here". She stood proud aftee hurling the insults.

Onlooker started to talk among them, some agreed to Miranda and the rest thing she is a little too much. She had heard their chatter and continue her words.

"Grandma Gianna spesifically want me to become Daniel Anderson wife, so by law you are and i will be related soon, and i want tk educate you of the upperclass society, i hope this will be a lesson to you" she humph in triumph.
