walking into the restaurant a wave of nostalgia hit me, this was the restaurant closest to tidal tech and this was the only place i came to eat lunch, i loved their food they also have vip reservations and i planned to book the vip. a waitress walked up to me "good day miss, do you have a reservation?" she said with a slight bow, i turned to her, Jennie, she still worked here. she was really friendly to me while i was still Estella, seeing her now i couldn't help but smile, she was a good memory of my past "no but I'll like to book a reservation at the vip" i said.
"we have one last vip reservation, please follow me" Jennie said, leading the way "its taken already" a voice called out behind us, a voice i so despised, we stopped looking back veronica glared at me and at the hand bag hanging on my arm, i looked at her trying not to show the hatred in my eyes, she doesn't know its me, so why was she making trouble "excuse me?" i said, looking at her from head to toe "are you deaf i said its taken already" she continued walking towards me
"but miss veronica she was here before..." "it doesn't matter, my dad practically owns this restaurant and you know very well i only stay in vip" she said interrupting Jennie, there was a fire in me threatening to explode but i just needed to relax, i knew she would be here when i came, so i wouldn't stoop to her level just yet. i giggled, the sound caught veronica's attention and she turned to me "what are you laughing at" she said visibly irritated, i looked straight into her eyes and said "just because you frequent this restaurant doesn't mean you own it, don't claim ownership of something that's not yours it leaves a bad taste in people mouths" i knew for a fact, tidal tech didn't own the restaurant cause i helped it escape their clutches.
veronica's face turned red, she was angry or embarrassed i didn't know and didn't care, but i enjoyed the look on her face, "you..." she wanted to retort, ignoring her i turned back to Jennie "please lead the way im famished" i said about to walk follow her, "Javier, this girl just took our reservation" i paused, hearing his name i could feel disgust start to build up inside me, i thought i could bear to be in his presence now but i was terribly wrong, i wanted nothing but to get away from him.
"miss" he called to me, taking a deep breath i reminded myself i was no longer Estella and i had nothing to fear, turning around i met his gaze "how can i help you" i said trying to mask the cringe on my face, looking at me he paused, like he could recognize me "have we met before?" he asked, i raised an eyebrow staring at him "do i look like i know you?" i said visibly angry that he stopped me, clearing his throat he looked away embarrassed finally getting back his posture he looked back at me
"how much for your reservation" i furrowed my eyebrows the cringe finally showed on my face "excuse me?" i asked "how much can i pay you for your vip reservation" he repeated, staring at him i was thinking of ways to reply but i didn't want to cause a scene just yet it wasn't part of my plan so i said "i don't need your money and i have no intention to sell my reservation" Javier looked at me taken aback, "uh...uh I'll give you two thousand dollars for it" he said, cocking my head to the side i wasn't surprised veronica had him wrapped in her tiny fingers "why are you offering to give her money, she cant even dream of with her cheap knock off hand bag" veronica interjected, walking to stand next to Javier.
looking at them now why didn't i see it, they were a match made in hell, she commented on my bag i looked at it, looking back at them, i finally realized what got her so riled up, this was the limited edition bag i ordered and knowing veronica she was jealous i got the bag before her, i chuckled startling the couple before me "is the bag the problem here" i said trying to hold back my laughter, putting my hands inside i brought out my phone, purse and car key "here take it" i said smiling at her "i was already bored of it anyways" grabbing her hand i placed the bag on her hand not letting her react i turned to Jennie "lets go" Jennie smiled walking to show me my reservation.
veronica stood there perplexed, embarrassed and ashamed. when she saw the bag she wanted to buy she was filled with anger and jealousy that she wanted to take something from the girl to she didn't think she would be embarrassed to this extent, holding the bag she seethed, she was going to find out who she is and have her revenge, she thought stomping out.
