Chapter 127
“Don’t follow me. Go do your own things,” Zippy told her friends who had followed them out. They halted, glanced at each other reluctance evident.
Wren also discover that her ‘friend’ was also following her which angered her. “Why are you following me? Stay away from me, I can’t afford having a snake at my side,” she said coldly, making the young lady’s face pale
If her parents knew what had happened and had lost Wren’s favor, won’t she be beaten up? After all, they favored their son more than they favored her. They only started treating her better after knowing that the William’s young miss was her friend.
“At least you have brains,” Zippy said coldly before walking away.
The reason Scarlet had not chased her away and asked her to join them was because she reminded her of Angela’s deeds in the past life. There was no enmity between the two of them, Angela always seemed cold saying hurtful words but they warnings.
She really hoped that her sister could befriend this young lady. Though she had not yet decided whether to acknowledge her cheap father, that didn’t mean that it would stop her from befriending her adopted sister. She didn’t want to be hated or for Wren to later scheme against her.
The girls walked around the city with Jalen and the bodyguards following closely as they were afraid that something might happen. However, the girls weren’t so concerned about their safety, they bought whatever caught their eyes, eat everything snacks they saw.
Before they realized it, it was already getting dark.
“It’s a pity that you guys are leaving tomorrow,” Zippy said as she felt reluctant to be separated from them.
From the short time they had spent together, she realized that they shared a lot in common. They were just like the friends she always dreamt of having, not following or pleasing her cause of her background. She had also gotten to know that each of the girls had impressive background behind them, they weren’t any inferior to her. Though net-worth wise, their family couldn’t compare to theirs, they were the richest families in their country.
What even annoyed her much was that they were all from the same country and will always be together, unlike her, she didn’t know whether Wren will give her any attention after they parted days. She was so envious of them.
Brianna chuckled. How could she not know what was going on the latter’s head? She had been feeling that every time she saw how the four girls communicated and recalled that they were always together.
“Better you who have Wren by your side. I have no one in my country, just me,” she said startling Zippy causing her to turn her gaze to her. She then lowered her head feeling embarrassed.
Still, despite being embarrassed, she felt better after hearing the latter words. She refused to believe that Wren would ignore her after today.
Seeing how she was behaving, Scarlet shook her head. She could to admit that Angela seemed to be more clever than Zippy.
“Where are we going to eat?” Angela asked as she wanted them to eat together before they separated.
Zippy’s eyes immediately lit up when that question was asked.
“Scar, I have always wished to eat your cousin’s dish. I ate once when my brother took me to your cousin’s hotel, there was a party there and your cousin was the one who cooked the dishes. Since them, I have been wanting to taste them once more but there was nothing,” She said, startling Scarlet.
She had eaten her aunt’s meals as they spoilt her rotten, everytime she stayed at the mansion, they kept her feeding her with their new dishes.
“Uhm, let brother ask him whether he had manage to cook for us. You guys can sleep at my place today. I think that your parents won’t refuse, right?” Scarlet asked Zippy ignoring Wren who frowned as she wondered why the latter was ignoring her but she didn’t say anything, just watched.
“They can’t do much to me. Let’s go. I am spending a night with you guys before you leave but I can will stay with my parents forever,” Zippy said causing Scarlet’s and the other’s mouth twitch. Nonetheless, they couldn’t find fault with that.
“Wren, we left your father at there before we came out. Maybe he had left or maybe not. If we find that he has left, we will just ask the elders to tell him,” Samantha said as she had seen Wren’s expression.
Wren sighed in relief as she understood why Scarlet had ignored her. She expressed her thanks to Samantha then turned to Scarlet who smiled faintly at her.
“That’s not fair at all. Why should the Singhs elders talk to her parent but not mine? They can also call home and saw that I am spending the night there,” Zippy said feeling that they were favoring one of them and seemed that they didn’t like her.
Scarlet chuckled and said, “Relax, we can do that after all go back. Why the fuss?”
Jalen had overheard the conversation and immediately called Finley and informed him what the girls wanted. The guy immediately agreed as he couldn’t wait to show his baby cousin his skills. The other had been taking advantage leaving them with no way to spend enough time with her, now that an opportunity had presented itself, how could he not take it seriously? Luckily, the family didn’t need to gather during supper.
Mr William and Mr Singh had already finished discussing the collaboration and even came up with a contract. They were just waiting for Scarlet to come so that they show her the contract, if there wasn’t any issue with it, they will continue signing. After all, she was the mastermind behind this and they didn’t know all her plans or what she wanted.
Also, since Mr William found the truth, he treated the Singhs as his family and wanted to help them as much as they could.
“I here to look for Mr Wilson,” Martin’s assistant said to the receptionist when he walked into the Wilson’s premises.
“Do you have an appointment?” the reception asked, his tone respectful cause of the aura the assistant was emitting. He even thought that he was a powerful person that was low-key and that was why he couldn’t recognize him.
“Yes, it was written under Singh Clothing line,” the assistant said. Shane’s godmother had helped him book an appointment when she was still in the country as she was afraid that it would take him long before he saw the Wilson’s high-ups.
The reception nodded and looked at his computer, upon seeing that name, he took a visitors tag and handed it to the assistant.
“Use the elevator on the left and go to twenty fifth floor. Tell them the name,” the receptionist told him.
“Thank you,” he said then left.
The receptionist was stunned as it was the first time seeing such a polite person.
When he got to that floor, he was taken to the president’s office.
Mr Wilson looked up when he heard the name. When he saw who had walked in, he wasn’t so surprised as he had been startled thinking that it was Martin who had come. His assistant was also well-known to the people of the same industry.
“Mr Wilson, sorry for taking your time,” the assistant said as he greeted the man.
“No problem. Have a seat,” Mr Wilson said. Though many were looking to see what will happen to the Singhs as it wasn’t a secret that some of their partners have already started requesting for termination, he couldn’t deny that they had a certain influence, he didn’t believe that anything would happen to them.
“I will go straight to the point. After madam’s death, the Walkers have terminated the contract with us and we are looking for a new partner,” the assistant said as it wasn’t a secret that the Walkers had gone to the Singhs to terminate the contract. Instead of hiding it, isn’t it better than being truthful?
Mr Wilson was shocked at the assistant honesty.
“This decision was made by the elders. They chose the Wilsons. I know that you are asking yourself, why work with us when our chef designer isn’t present, right? True, we don’t have to offer but apart from our branch in Americas, we are adding the second miss brand that is in Country A. As you provide the fabrics to us, you will be providing to her also,” the assistant said startling the man.
