By afternoon, Maya, Fidelia, and Mia were at the fashion store. She was picking up the wedding dress she was going to wear. She told the fashion designer to test out some dresses to see which one was perfect for her. As she was testing it out, Mia was helping her wear her clothes.
When the costume was pulled out, Fidelia stepped out in a white, bright gown, looking stunning and beautiful, with her skin glowing and the wedding dress flowing and spreading across the ground.
While Mia bent and straightened the gown while she was talking to her, "Now that we have acquired Top Notch Investment Company, what's next?"
"We still need to meet up with Victoria. She's an investment strategy expert. And we need her." Fidelia said looking at herself in the mirror
"That's the problem," Maya said. "She doesn't want to join the company she left. I think they had quite a bit of an issue. Either with the CEO or something else happen"
"Well, that was the previous company. Now I'm taking over it. She should be willing to come back," Fidelia said firmly to Mia.
"I think I've not tried talking to her about that. She's just been quite persistent. I'll try to convince her." Mia gave up sighed while watching as she walked out to meet Maya.
"Sweet!!! I think this is better than the ones you have worn, don't you think?" Maya dropped her phone and admired the wedding dress.
"Yeah, I was actually thinking something sexy" Then she turned to the designer " If you can just make some adjustments, I want a no arm wedding dress and something that's packs my boobs well"
"Are you planning on seducing everyone at the wedding or you just want to kill your husband with lust?" Fidelia chuckled.
"I'm pretty sure it's both," Mia added.
"ill say the later you need to see the two of them together" Maya said
"Oh, come on. It's not as bad as you think. I'm just going to torment my husband a bit."
And they all laughed, and she turned back to check out another dress in the dressing room with Mia then they continued her conversation.
"So let's just set up a meeting with her. Tell her the new CEO and the major shareholder of the Top Notch company wants to meet with her. We need to start buying shares from the Crawford stores. I want it to be under Top Notch Investment. I don't want to reveal myself now" Fidelia explained to Mia.
"Just find a way set up the meeting I'll handle the rest"
"Alright, I'll do that."
After dressing up again, she came out, and this time she saw someone she was not familiar with. When the person turned to her, she remembered the face and that was the same face she had seen when she wanted to go to her family this morning. That was Andrian's ex.
Charlotte walked in and looked at Fidelia. She had this air of an high-class rich daughter look that made her feel she was at the top of the world.
"Wow, I can see the dress really looks nice. But something doesn't just feel right. I think it will suit me if I wear that, don't you think, Maya?"
And Maya frowned and told her, "What are you doing here Charlotte?"
"What do you mean, what am I doing here? I came to check up on… Andrian's bride. And I'm seeing it's a bit of a downgrade. The adopted sister from the Crawfords family. That's a shame. He could have done quite better" Charlotte stared at her again and continued looking at Maya.
" You know, if he actually begged, I would have considered him" then she turned to Fidelia.
"My apologies. I heard you were testing out the wedding gown, so I had to come look. I have been wanting to meet his soon to be bride for some days now I happy I finally get to see you"
Charlotte had been talking all this while, but Fidelia kept quiet.
"You must be Charlotte." "His past. What I mean is ex. Sorry, I mean his bad past. I think you get the point now…so what do you want Charlotte?" Fidelia responded to her.
Charlotte bit back her lip. She figured out she had just met someone with quite a sharp tongue as her.
"Like I said, I wanted to meet with the bride."
"Well, this bride doesn't want to meet with you. And I have other plans. So if you don't mind." She stretched her hand, hoping Charlotte could leave.
At this point, Charlotte was already foaming in anger within her. She stepped forward, closing the distance between the two of them only to whisper in her ear,
"I'm not someone you would want to mess with. I would fuck you up, big time."
And then she was about to leave, when Fidelia grabbed her hand, moved closer also and then she whispered in her ear,
"Give it a try." And then she turned, without waiting for a reply, back to the dressing room. She was done with checking out the dress; now she had other plans to do.
Charlotte walked out of the fashion store really angry. She had gotten a share from being hurt by Andrian this morning when they had met up. After he made it clear he did not need her help and Andrian knew her well. She only does something to her benefit alone. He knew was trying to play a mind game with him, but he wasn't interested. She had played him out in their relationship and Andrian wasn't going to make it work for her. So he had sent her off.
She was pissed that's why she came to channel the anger back at Fidelia. She got more angry that they didn't need her help.
She was going back to the man, the one she loved. She had used Andrian and dated him for a while just so she could get close to Damien, who didn't even take her seriously. The man only used her whenever he wanted, saw her whenever he wanted. It was more difficult with the man, but she loved him, and it made it hard for her to get angry with him whatever he did.
She took her phone, and as she made the phone call, the man said, "Where are you?" Damien's voice rumbled through the phone.
"You'll find me soon enough," Charlotte said, smiling coldly.
She ended the call and whispered to herself.
'They won't see it coming'
