Everywhere fell into silence, both Clara and Jesy gave Euphoria a weird look but Akira was calm. Euphoria stared back, especially at Jesy with her eyes wide open in disbelief. How? What was going on?
"What's wrong Ms Euphoria? You suddenly screamed."
Clara broke the silence as she asked Euphoria with her gaze scrutinizing Euphoria.
Why was this lady suddenly behaving weird?
Realizing herself, she awkwardly chuckled as she tried to break the weird air, but her puzzled look was very much evident in her eyes and none of them missed it.
"No. It's just that am suddenly surprised. You were arranged a car to take Jesy shopping for her dress, but that wasn't the same for others and myself too. Am very much confused you know."
Euphoria stated with the awkward smile still on her lips. She looked at Jesy with somewhat envy as many questions and possible theories ran like the Flash from DC movies in her head.
"Like Jesy had just said, it was the company who did all this and we have no idea why. We are simply following orders. Just like you, am wondering why too, who knows? Perhaps, Jesy has a promising future in this company already. That might just be the case."
Akira purposefully hinted with a calm temperament, as always. Nobody said a word as they were still registering Akira's words in their heads, particularly Euphoria.
Looks like Euphoria got the hint because she frowned even more. She replayed Akira's words in her head and she turned to Jesy who had dreamingly look in her eyes. Just like Euphoria, Jesy was also replaying Akira's words in her head. A promising future. She blinked as she thought about it and how life would be so sweet and less tiring, but she snapped out of it when she recalled Directior Jeff's statement. She would have to think about that later.
"We have to leave. There's a lot to prepare for."
Akira spoke and turned to leave, Clara followed and Jesy was about to turn when Euphoria suddenly spoke up.
"Can I come too? I mean, don't get me wrong, I also want to help Jesy with her shopping too."
Everybody halted in their steps. Akira sighed and tilted her head to the side. This was one annoying bug. Akira thought and gave Jesy a look as if asking for her consent first.
Jesy got the look from Akira and was surprised. She never knew Akira would sort out for her opinion. Jesy nodded and said.
"Of course, you can come too. That would be a great opportunity for us to know each other."
Euphoria sighed in relief and followed them towards the Limousine that was prepared for them. Euphoria could not help the glare that she directed at no one in particular. Seeing all this things, she felt threatened. Why was Jesy getting the good treatment. She was already wondering who was behind Jesy's special treatment. Was it the CEO? No way, that can't be.
Euphoria climbed into the Limo and tried to conceal her anger. Jesy and Clara were both awed at how beautiful the insides of the Limo was, except of course, Akira, this wasn't her first time inside a Limo. She had been inside a Limousine a number of times before.
Instead of feeling awed like the others, Euphoria was rather feeling her anger boiling up in white heat. The thought that this Limo was prepared for Jesy made her want to let out a scream of anguish, but she held it in. She couldn't blow her cover just yet.
So what if Jesy got all these and she didn't? It would be for a limited time anyways, or so she thought. Soonest, she would be the wife of their CEO, that was very much better than what Jesy was enjoying now.
Euphoria already talked to her mother to help her out in winning the CEO's heart. Her mother promised she would do something, Euphoria didn't know how her mother would go about it, but she placed all hope on her mother who would do anything for her.
Just you wait, the tables would turn soon and I'll be much more higher.
Euphoria scoffed in her head, she glared at Jesy from the side of her eyes.
Euphoria thought back at what her mother told her about chatting with the Chairman of High Life Entertainment, she was pleasantly surprised, but excitement filled her being at the thought of being with the CEO.
The car stopped before a clothes mall. Of course, Euphoria knew about this place and had been around here a number of times. She had gotten a dress or two from this mall and it was very much expensive to get even a single piece of dress. Jesy would buy her dress here? She thought as she looked at Jesy, she didn't think someone like her was qualified to buy a dress here. She rolled her eyes and looked away.
"Oh my gosh! I know of this mall. Is Jesy seriously going to get her dress here? Whoa!"
Clara gasped as she looked at the huge name of the clothes mall written in a bold gold text "Glamour" Clara smiled widely that her eyes were almost closed and formed crescent shape.
Jesy was equally flabbergasted, of all clothes mall, she didn't expect to be brought here. Everything were too good to be true. She sighed as she imagined how the insides would look like, heaven? Or paradise? A person of her status would never even dream of coming to a place like this, what would she be doing here anyways? When she could hardly afford cheap clothes.
They all stepped out of the Limo and proceeded to enter the mall. Euphoria clenched her fist as she stared at the awestruck Jesy.
You want to shop here? Dream on. Just sit and watch me ruin your time here. Cheap bitch.
