Chapter 36: wedding engagement party 4

"You mean you and Madison trick Rachel into buying that gown. How?" Ariana could not help but smiled.

"It very simple, two days ago, I was going on shopping and I met your sister. She said she wanted to get you a dress for the engagement party. I decided to help. Who knows Rachel was also shopping in that mall and she heard us talking." Natalie was recalling what happened two days ago to Ariana when Anthony got to their sit.

His eyes never leaves Ariana, if Natalie haven't heard and sees somethings she would have believed Anthony truly loved Ariana.

"Ariana my love, have been looking for you" Anthony said while trying to put his hand on her shoulder.

Ariana skillfully moved. His hand was left hanging in the air. 

To avoid embarrassment as some people was looking at them he fold his hand and brought it back to his side.

His facial expression was screaming Anger. But he keeps telling himself. "After I get my hands on those shares I will make her feel worse that death"

He forced a smile "we will talk later." He then left.

Natalie burst out laughing immediately Anthony left. He could hear Natalie laugh from behind, he fold his hand into a fist dark cloud glooming over his head. He fasten his footsteps and left. 

Rachel was about to touch him when he passed her by and left the hall. She frown and followed him.

Kiki saw everything that happened and fold her fist "for humiliating my brother I will make you regret it."

Most of the people in the hall saw what happened even the reporter and bloggers filmed it.

Natalie was holding her stomach has she laughed when Madison who just came with their parents came to her side.

"Why are you laughing, is it because of Rachel, I never knew she will fall for that obvious trick."

"No it not that, but what did you guys do to make Rachel fall for your trick." Ariana asked Madison when she saw Natalie won't stop laughing anytime soon especially when she remembered how they tricked Rachel. She also saw her father and step mother going to their assigned seat.

"Ohh, that, nothing much. I was going to pick a dress for you as a welcome back gift so you can wear it to the engagement party. I know you don't like all wearing those clothes especially after you and Rachel Became friends" Madison started.

Ariana rubbed the tip of her nose. Seems like everyone still thinks she is under Rachel spell.

Madison continued."we were looking at a dress when Rachel called the salesman that she want that gown. At first i wanted to argue but Natalie hint me to leave the dress. We went to another section and Rachel followed us. I asked her why she was following us and she told me she was also moving in that direction we have no choice but to leave that mall and go to another one as I don't want to argue with her. Who knows Rachel will keep tailing them. Natalie said the only way to stop her from following us is if we pick a dress and make a scene when she wants to get it."

"So you guys acted a drama" Ariana mused.

Natalie continued the story " if we don't do that how can we get a dress. We entered a boutique their clothes their was very expensive then we asked for their best work and looked for the dazzling ones. Then we picked the most expensive and flashy gown. If Rachel wasn't thinking of sabotaging us she may have noticed that the shop we entered is not for engagement clothes but those hostess designs. So we argued on the price with the sales girl but she said she can only give us 5 percent discount. We where still negotiating when Rachel entered."

"I will take it, it just 20 thousand dollars." Rachel told the sales girl with her chin raised up high with a smug look.

"But we got here first" Madison spoke up.

"Rachel you have been picking on us since and have been quiet for Ariana sake but enough is enough. Am getting this clothes and you can't do anything about it." Natalie talked to Rachel angrily.

"What do you mean. Everybody have the right to go to where they wants and it first come first serve." Rachel replied.

"Hey baby girl, these girls here don't have the money for the dress they are just broke ass bitch" Rachel told the sales girl.

She looked at Natalie and Madison and then at Rachel before she decided to go with Rachel. Rachel paying full will increase her shares percentage on the dress.

"And I really loved this dress, it going to make Ariana Stand out from the crowd and look like a queen she is" Madison told Natalie looking sad.

"Don't worry, if worse come to worse I will give her from my clothes that I haven't wore."Natalie patted Madison. They walked out while looking at Rachel Angrily.

Rachel laughed."Ariana see who will become the queen of your engagement party."

Back to the present.

"So you mean she fall for the trick. She did stand out among the crowd with her dress." Ariana was amused by Rachel stupidity.

"Are you sure they haven't started the engagement party?"

"No, they seem to be waiting for the groom before they start." Someone replied the old woman.

Linda Martins and Victoria entered the hall and sat down at the back.

"If the man she chooses seems good enough then I will blessed their marriage if not" Linda Martins told Victoria.

"Why did I follow her now, I just hope she doesn't put me in a mess, cause I don't want my block head brother to send me out of the country again" Victoria murmured.

As if feeling Victoria nervousness Linda pat Victoria lap"Don't worry, I won't drag you into it. "
