Chapter 63 – Ignored.
W Group Main Office.
It didn't take long, Michael arrived at his office. He immediately walked into his room expressionless, and he had returned to his true self.
Just as he opened the door, his brow furrowed as he saw Clara sitting gracefully on the sofa sipping a cup of tea.
"Hi… Michael! Have you had lunch? I've been waiting for you here for quite some time". Clara asked spoiled after placing her teacup on the table.
Michael didn't say anything, he walked past Clara and sat down in his chair.
Clara took a deep breath to control her emotions, after which she immediately approached Michael while adjusting her smile.
"Why are you here?" Michael asked without looking at Clara.
"Your mother asked me to deliver our engagement invitation, she said you haven't seen it yet. If you don't like it, we can still change the model. Here's the invitation!". Clara said as she held out the invitation to Michael.
Just then, Larry suddenly appeared and snatched the invitation from Clara's hands.
Immediately Clara was surprised and turned to Larry.
"Why is this paper so ugly?". Asked Larry as he flipped through the invitation card.
Michael breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Larry coming because he didn't want to talk to Clara when he was officially her husband. He also ignored the two people in front of his desk and opened his laptop casually.
"How can it be ugly? The invitation you're holding is designed directly by my future mother-in-law. And it's the best." Clara said in a soft voice.
"What's good? This paper looks more like useless trash". Larry smiled slyly as he crumpled the invitation and threw it in the trash just like that.
Clara began to lose patience, she clenched her fists because the invitation was very precious to her. Immediately, Clara gave Larry a death glare.
"Maybe for you this paper is garbage, but you have to accept the fact that soon I will be Michael's wife". Clara whispered while smiling slyly.
"Looks like you have to sleep first to dream of becoming Michael's wife. Hehehe…". Larry winked his right eye at Clara with a smile.
Clara's expression darkened at Larry's words. Even so, Clara tried to take a breath to calm herself down because she didn't want to look terrible in front of Michael.
After calming down, Clara turned back to Michael and ignored Larry.
"Michael… I'm going home first! I'll stop by sometime". After saying that, Clara turned around slowly, and she wished Michael would stop her. However, her hopes were in vain as Michael ignored her.
Michael kept his cool as he checked his paperwork, and Clara wanted to go home or not he didn't care.
Larry feels sorry for Clara who is ignored by Michael.
"Poor dream girl". Larry thought as he stared at Clara until she disappeared behind the door.
After that, Larry turned back to Michael and he said. "Brother… You're so cool! Let me be your fan from now on! Because your loyalty to Sophia needs to be applauded because you got rid of her romantic rival mercilessly".
Michael calmly looked up. "Of course I'm the coolest because I'm not a pathetic guy like you".
"Brother… Can't you praise me just once?" Larry said with a frown.
"Don't whine anymore! You better get out of my sight before I make you regret it!".
"But, I'm here to…".
"I want to be alone! If you want to say something then say it to Jason!". Michael said interrupting Larry's words.
Larry took a deep breath because he couldn't possibly disobey Michael's orders. He immediately went out.
A few days later.
Jenifer returned to city B after finishing filming in another city, and her manager gave her two days off so she rushed to contact Sophia because she really missed her best friend.
Sophia was very excited to meet Jenifer, they promised to meet at one of the biggest malls in city B.
"What's wrong?". Sophia asked the maid who had been knocking on her door.
"There's a gift for you!" The waiter replied.
Sophia immediately opened the door with a curious expression.
"Gift?".
"Yes". The maid immediately handed the gift box to Sophia.
"Thank you!". Sophia took the gift box while looking at it curiously.
Very curious, she immediately took the gift box into her room and opened it excitedly.
Sophia covered her mouth in shock when she saw the contents of the gift.
Inside the gift box, there was a small, bone-white, platinum bag studded with diamonds, and the lock and lid buttons were made of white gold.
Sophia can already tell which bags are expensive and which are not thanks to Jenifer's craze for luxury goods.
But that's not all, because after opening the small bag, Sophia found a small red purse whose material was not much different from the bag. In the wallet is equipped with various kinds of cards and cash.
Once again, Sophia was surprised to see the items.
Michael had been on a business trip one week after they legally became husband and wife. But, he hasn't come home yet and instead sent a gift to her. For some reason, Sophia didn't understand why Michael had suddenly sent her a gift.
Just then, her cell phone rang and it was from Jennifer.
"Hello?". Sophia said first after sliding the green icon on her cellphone.
"Are you ready to adventure with me?" Jennifer asked over the phone.
"Yeah, I'm leaving now!". Replied Sophia.
"Okay, then we meet at the Mall, and sorry I can't pick you up!". Jennifer said sadly.
"It's okay! I'm leaving now! See you later".
Unknowingly, Sophia carried the bag that Michael gave her because she was in a hurry even though her bag and other necessities were on her bed.
Fortunately, the taxi that Sophia ordered came at the right time.
Even though Michael had prepared a driver and a private car for her, she didn't want to use it because she wasn't used to it.
In addition, she still has a motorbike that can take her anywhere comfortably. However, today she specifically uses a taxi because the weather is very hot.
Because the distance was not that far, Jenifer arrived earlier than Sophia.
While waiting for Sophia to arrive, Jenifer chose to go around first at some of the shops downstairs.
Just then, she stopped in front of a luxury shop that specialized in selling limited-edition bags. Luckily the shop was downstairs.
Jenifer immediately entered the store and approached a bag that had dazzled her eyes.
"Wow … This bag is so beautiful". Jennifer thought while holding the bag.
Just then, the bag that Jenifer was holding was snatched by someone who suddenly appeared. Immediately Jennifer turned to the person in annoyance, and her sunglasses almost fell off.
Luckily she was wearing a mask so that the person didn't see her annoyed expression clearly.
"I think you've been holding it for too long. Ooopsss… I forgot that you're just a small artist, and can't afford this bag. Isn't that right Miss Jen?". Olivia said haughtily.
Jennifer is surprised that Olivia can still recognize her when she wears a mask and glasses.
Clara just watched her sister looking down on other people because she and her sister were the same people.
Jennifer took a breath.
"What is my sin that I have to meet this terrible woman?". Jennifer thought.
After thinking, Jennifer took the bag again.
"You think I can't afford it? I'll pay right now". Jennifer said.
"Wait!". Clara stopped her steps towards the cashier.
"My sister likes the bag. So, I will pay for it if necessary more than the actual price". Clara said arrogantly.
After that, Clara called the shop assistant.
"How much does this bag cost?".
"Because this bag is the latest edition from our store, the price is very expensive". The shop assistant replied.
"Then I'll pay it to double the actual price. But, if this woman can pay more than me, then let her buy it". Clara said, grinning at Jennifer.
Olivia smiled while looking arrogantly at the shop owner and Jenifer.
Jennifer was getting annoyed.
"I … ".
"Jen…".
Jennifer couldn't continue her words when she heard Sophia's voice calling out to her.
"What is this? Why does the atmosphere look tense?". Asked Sophia in surprise when she was in front of them all.
Jennifer also explained to Sophia what had just happened. After that, Sophia turned to Clara and Olivia.
"Wow… What a coincidence that you're here, maybe you can help this lady! However, I'm not sure because your salary will never be enough to buy things in this luxury shop. So, I suggest you bring your friends out of this shop!".. Said Vio who suddenly appeared in the shop as well.
