Something fishy..

Victor didn't like the way this lady talked to her sister. Although he bullied her sister, he would never let others do so. So he became enraged, but before he could speak, Valerie turned and smirked. 

Her smirk stopped him as he knew no one can bully her. She had always been strong and brave to deal with difficult matters much less, dealing with this fly!. Even Cynthia had a knowing smile on her face, like she was already anticipating a show.

"Did I ask you to follow me? Or have I invited you to have dinner with me. Miss Ellie, office hours are finished. Yet I am trying my best to bear with you, but you, like an annoying fly, have struck to me, as your BROTHER LEO and this man Adam.

God, I like it here and I am having my dinner here and as you know I can't afford to pay the bill, So don't be a burden one and just shoo, Shooo."

The way she said shoo, was clear that she was treating her like an annoying pest who was not ready to leave her way. The way she emphasised your brother Leo, It's clear that she was not taking Leo as any of hers. 

Valerie was happy to make him, Ellie's. So that she could leave her. Hearing her words Victor smirked, and patted her shoulders, while Cynthia shook her head smiling. Who asked them to offend her? What do they think that she is a damsel in distress? No she was a damn sleeping tigress who would ferociously show her teeth when poked.

While they all three were stunned. Adam was feeling awkward, he knew he tagged along. Most of the girls feel honoured to be around him. so it's a good thing to be around him or so he thought. Now he was feeling embarrassed, While Leo was struck dumb. He was poking her since Monday because he knew she needed the job, but he didn't know she would reply like this.

 Shouldn't she be trying to curry favours, and it's not like he wanted to be around her. If she or her family hadn't been this suspicious he would not even look at her once. ( Really wouldn't he..?)

But the biggest impact was on Ellie. After all she was the one who was getting taunted. Ellie was trying to hide her anger and disgust that badly, but the moment Valerie spoke, like the lava burst out. 

"You... You...." She didn't know what to say. She was too enraged to speak, "How dare you!" The first reaction, she had was to slap this bitch. But Leo was here and she was kind and weak in his eyes, so she couldn't do that. So she decided to use her biggest weapon. tears!

She started sobbing "brother Leo, Look at her what she is saying. forget about me for a second, but you are his boss. How could she insult you like this? she has no manners to talk to, and she is so fierce. I am afraid, brother Leo, She could even hurt me."

 She tried to lean her head on his chest to seek refuge, but Leo took a step back and it became more awkward for her as she stayed in mid air, so as her hands. As if on cue Adam patted her head and said. " It's ok as she said, she can't pay the bill for everyone. That's why she said, Its ok Miss Valerie, we will pay for our dinner. ''Don't worry about it" he said in a very sweet and coaxing manner.

 People would think that he was trying to coax Ellie. So as she thought, but the truth was, he was trying to coax Valerie, to decrease the awkwardness and tension.

But was Valerie that Gullible!

She smirked again and her expression created goosebumps for Adam. While Ellie and Leo's face turned dark. As expected she threw another bomb to them. " Who the hell needs your money? I have fair enough money to pay for meals and so as to do charity. But you know my mother taught me, not to waste the money."

 Clearly she was indicating that spending money on their meal would be a waste of money. It's better that she would do charity with that money. Did she think we are worse than beggars. Now you could see steam coming out of Ellie's face. Her face turned red and black. " You.. you... Do you think we need your money? I can buy this whole damn shop right now."

But Valerie just shrugged her shoulders and said "suit yourself, brother are you coming?" and with that without waiting for anyone, she turned and entered the stall.

That's when they noticed a crowd was standing around them, and gossiping while pointing fingers at them. But too bad, Valerie still didn't know the power of Leo in Rowan city.

Just behind Leo was the manager who had organised this whole fair which was funded by Leo. He was so afraid, sweat was dripping from her head, neck and hands. His smile looked worse than a cry. Who would have thought that Leo would be insulted in the fair for a small amount of money of a meal which he himself has paid for.

With a quivering voice and shaking hands, the manager said "boss, that." but before he could complete his sentence, Leo laughed. His laugh was so eerie, It created goosebumps for everyone. " Looks like I am not invited to this stall. Hmm Henry?"

Tears came out of Henry's eyes. " Boss, the whole place is yours boss." He said with a weeping voice.

"Is it? Then prove it." He said still with a smile but cold was emitting from his whole body.

"Yes sir, Right now sir." And with that he ran so fast like ghosts were chasing him.
