Chapter 13: Shopping

~~~Next day at Hay's Galleria Shopping Mall~~~

Today Elizabeth wore a white sleeveless-tube top with a pair of knee fit wrap-up skirt and a fancy blazer with no buttons. She looks elegant and mature. Lucy was in awe when she first saw her.

"Elizabeth you changed your style?"

"Yeah the previous one was too shabby"

They both entered the mall pointing at a pure black dress Lucy said: "Elizabeth you will look so gorgeous in this dress."

"Tsk! You want me to wear this?" It is a lovely dress but not up to the standard to present the young miss of the Smith family. In her previous life, Elizabeth wears this dress in the banquet, which made her a laughing stock between the upper class due to her low taste in outfits. It was talked for a long time since her father was the famous CEO of the Smith corporation and her grandfather had been to the military commander before.

She knew the banquet will not be suitable for this simple and coarse dress. "Lucy, I am going to buy it, but I will not wear it. My father will not like it nor grandfather." Elizabeth said it forthwith.

Lucy felt awkward and dissatisfy her first attempt fails. Elizabeth saw the look on Lucy's face and smirked coldly.

The next second Lucy cheered up "Oh Alright! I do not want your father and grandfather to get angry at you. Let's check more" she smiled sweetly.

When Elizabeth saw Lucy's fake smile she want to expose her so badly, but she must keep it to herself, she does not want to harm her family name, otherwise, tomorrow's headlines will be young miss Smith's family bully the weak citizen.

Elizabeth was just scanning through shops when her eyes seized sight of a stunning dress. It was composed beautifully. It was breathtakingly gorgeous. She asked the manager about this but just she had taken a few steps towards the dress some girls stepped forwards and blocked her way "Awww.... this dress is really beautiful so let's check this out."

Elizabeth looked at the girls they were wearing thick makeups and look alike jokers to be true. She holds back her laughter. She does not want to back down and said "excuse me I have already asked for this dress," she said stating the fact.

The brows of the girls knitted in anger. "Yours... Do you even know who am I? You b*tch...!" the leading girl of the group asked Elizabeth.

Other girls cheered behind her "this is just an ingenious bitch we are sure she does not have money to buy this dress ignore her Laura. She is not competent to know you."

"I do not know you and I do not think it is necessary for me." saying to Laura with cold eyes Elizabeth shifted her gaze to the other gaze and said, "barking bitch clown" with staring at them coldly.

"You...! Laura sneered but Elizabeth remains indifferent.

Elizabeth ignored the leader and turned to face the manager who has been watching them "how much is this dress cost?" she asked.

The other girls commented mockingly "Lowly poor abide cannot afford just here to try the dress to snap a pic and show off."

"Can you afford this?" Elizabeth brows wrinkled as the manager said being attentive to the girls, the manager looked at other girl's directions and said: "Miss Laura we would be glad if you buy this dress."

Elizabeth scoffed before sounding loud "Stop, this dress is mine."

This manager indeed looks down on her. So when he heard Elizabeth he advised "Miss please you cannot afford the dress just look for something else look for another store you can afford with, the dresses here are much more expensive than you think."

Elizabeth does not blame the manager at first as she had not made much public appearance as Smith's family's Young miss but this does not mean that the manager will look down on people like this.

Lucy who was watching the scene felt happier, she always likes it when other people insult and embarrassed Elizabeth. Lucy entered the scene and said: "Elizabeth let's go to another shop. This dress is too flashy for your grandpa's banquet."

For all years Lucy had known Elizabeth, she knows she did not like to pick fight specifically and do not carry much money with her.

Elizabeth's expression changed "Lucy what do you mean? Huh! Who do you think I am? Can I leave this low life humiliating me like this? You know which family I belong to." Lucy was caught surprised, she never had thought that Elizabeth would talk back to her in such a haughty manner. She always listens to her but why this time not? Lucy was deep in thought.

"I..." Lucy was astounded by her and could not utter a single word. Inside Elizabeth's mind, 'that's what you get by thinking you can manipulate me like past..!'

hmph..!

"What's with all this mess?" a voice spoke suddenly, which made all people who have presently turned around to that person's direction.

"Madam Green..." the manager runs up to that person. Elizabeth recognized that face, that person is the well-known designer queen Amy Green, she is her mother's sister. Amy has the heart of a woman but her strength did not weaken than that of a man.

Elizabeth remembered Amy had visited her till high school but after her high school, she stopped seeing her and always rejected her due to the bitch Lucy advised she said Amy was trying to seduce her dad. But later she came to know that Amy had promised her mother to take care of her.

Amy had her own family why will she intervene between others, it's only due to her promise she takes good care of Elizabeth. Also, Elizabeth resembles her mother in some feature so Amy was delighted to spend time with her.

"What's the matter?" Amy said in a cold tone that makes people shiver, but for some reason, Elizabeth just feels guilty and lowered her eyes at first.
