Laura's friend, Irene was bewildered by what the woman said and she prepared herself to bash at the woman with her words."It's normal and expected that one trys things on before buying them otherwise what would happen if they dont abd they didn't fit?" Irene asked, looking to take the woman down with her question."Then if they don't fit just throw them away," the woman replied and shrugged"But I understand that women like you can't afford to live like that," the woman added, sarcastically."You must have lose your sanity," Irene spat. She was furious. Laura who hasn't said w word, sighed."Hello, I would like to buy that outfit," Laura said to the girl at the counter and gently took the outfit from the woman's grasp."Hey! If you sell off the outfit to her I would leave and wouldn't set my foot in this store again let alone consider buying a thing from your store, including the ones I've chosen. I won't buy any if you sell the outfit to her," the woman threatened the girl."Oh_oh.

Laura battled with her emotions as the taxi driver drove. She was using every fiber in her to fight back her tears. She didn't want to suffer any more embarrassment by breaking down in a taxi because if that happens, the taxi driver would definitely know and maybe the headline - Great ma'am Miguel's new supposed favorite granddaughter cried in a taxi. Then if the reason behind it is dug in further, everyone in the city will get to know the sort of humiliation she faced in a store today, all thanks to her loser husband, Feran.She didn't saw this coming. Though after her mother has attempted to stop her from taking Feran along, she'd felt a bit uncertain on their way to the store but shove it off the next minute, saying to herself in her mind that she was overthinking things and Feran has become a different person in her life now."Feran isn't worth it. If you remain married to him then you're jeopardizing your bright future." Those words of grandmother repeated numerous times in her e

The next morning, Feran woke up and tried to talk to Laura who woke up a few minutes later after he did but she completely ignored him. Knowing right well that she probably is still upset with him about yesterday's incident, he desired to go and prepare breakfast. When he was done, he went back to the room and informed her about it. He got ready for the day and left for the company to see the manager so he could acquire his card back. When he arrived at the company, he walked straight into the manager's office but was shocked by what he saw."Ah, good morning, sir. I didn't notice when you walked in," the manager said when Feran closed the door behind some seconds later after he walked in. The manager didn't notice him when he walked in because he was lost in thoughts, staring at the brown box on his desk."Um, sir, why are you here?" The manager asked, faking a smile and getting up to his feet."I came to get the card I gave to you," Feran said, not getting his eyes off the box."Oh

The next Monday, Laura resumed work at the family's company. She was given a position at the managerial department of the company. After settling some of her things in her office, she decided to go over to Mark's office to see him."Hello, brother. Good morning," Laura said as she walked into the office after knocking twice on the door. Mark was not really happy to see her but he didn't show his annoyance for her because he had someone in the office."Morning. Laura. How may I help you?" Mark asked, faking a smile."Nothing, really. Just decided to come see you and…" Laura paused her lips as she became aware of the person sitting across the desk of Mark. She flicked a stare at him and saw him gazing at her with a smile."Hello, good morning," the guy greeted."Uh, good morning." Laura waved at him. She returned her gaze to Mark, seeking to know who he was even though she knew he likely wasn't going to tell her."Um, Laura. This is Lucas Leon," Mark introduced. "He's a great investor i

Lucas took Laura to an exclusive restaurant and they ordered what they would want then it was served to them some minutes later."How's the food, Laura?" Lucas asked as he stared at Laura. Laura leaned and smiled. She didn't want him to really see right through her how badly she was enjoying the meal because she hasn't had such a tasty meal for a while now so she simply nodded."It's not bad, Lucas," she said."I'm glad you like the food," Lucas commended. Laura tried to keep her happiness within her. She had not tried to reject Lucas' request of taking her tonight for dinner because she had done some research about him and learnt Mark was right. He was a great investor of their business and she wanted to mingle with him hoping he would probably put a good word about her to her grandmother or better still, she'll be able to convince him to do that.Ma'am Miguel had not given her a great position in the company unlike Mark. Mark was the acting CEO of the company and he's been with that
