The sound of the heels on the tiles,showed the gender of the intruder. It was a lady's voice! As she approached them, the air was set aflame by the frail of her perfume. It was a scent that spoke of wealth and sophistication, it was modern, elegant and alluring, like the lady who wore it with such confidence and grace. “What's the meaning of this?” She asked when she got close to them. The whole hall was silent, the voice was one with authority. Miss Josh comes to work early and leaves late, it was difficult for junior staff to see her. Whatever brought her out must be important. The security guard knelt down immediately trembling as he explained everything. She turned to the lady beside her, "Please, lead Miss Steve to my office”. The young lady nodded and led Ava to the office. With Ava gone, she turned to Susie “ young lady, I have no appointment with you. Drag her outside”. The security guard dragged her out of the premises. She freed herself and ran back to meet Miss Jos

“Why was Ethan there with you? You two plotted and brought fake documents here”. Susie shouted, her veins pulsating. James sneered, “you even lied about the contract quotation, have you ever made 100 million dollars in your life before?” Susie shifted in her seat, “ your designs are way below standard, you can't deceive us. Everyone knows I'm the best fashion designer in Nova City”. Turning to her mother, Susie said, “I wish I had taken this mission. I would have saved us from this humiliation”. Ava had heard enough, she walked towards Kate with the file in her hands. “Mum, this is the signed contract,my initial quotation was 50 million dollars, but Miss Josh said it was too low for the designs. Since they intend to go into the global market soon”. James curled his lips in disdain, “Ava, your tactics are too cheap, stop fooling around and face reality”. “This is outrageous!” Susie exclaimed, “Ava, you're trying to save your face and you came here to lie to us, is this the best

In the peripheral of her eyes, Ava noticed that the two voices belonged to the two shop assistants who stood by in case more help was needed. She was shocked to find that employees at such a popular store were so rude and unprofessional. “So, will you take that one?” the assistant who was accompanying them asked, crossing her arms across her chest and sticking her hip out. She was no longer pretending to be professional and Ava could feel her irritation rising. Ava looked at Ethan who hadn't said anything besides looking at the clothes she picked. His jaw looked tense and she realised that he too was bothered by the attitude the shop assistants were showing. “My previous place of work, shopping was done by appointment only. That way only people who could actually afford the clothes showed up. Here, any beggar from off the street can walk in”. the owner of the voice sighed.“I wish they would make it like that here”. “Yeah, that would be nice,” her fellow assistant agreed. “ A stor

He stopped his narration when he realised that upon seeing the two customers, his boss had turned pale and was trembling. His eyes were locked on Ethan and were full of recognition. A second later, the boss turned to him. A stern look on his face “apologise right now”. The manager's lips tumbled and his eyes widened like saucers “ what……what?” He couldn't believe what he heard. “ Apologise to the customers” the boss demanded, also turning to the two assistants “ what are you waiting for?” They exchanged shocked glances, obviously not expecting the turnout of events. They had thought the boss would drive the two out, why was he suddenly asking them to apologise? If the two were nobodies the boss wouldn't have been bothered to ask them to do that. It was then it dawned on them that they must have messed with a big shot. Whoever these customers were, they weren't just people the boss knew. Given the boss's reaction, it was clear he was terrified of the man, whoever he was, he must
