Why deceive me??

Aria and Lizzy were still dumbfounded not wanting to believe what they just heard from the shop assistant they paid to embarrass me. "So can I have my trophy now cry babies?" I said sarcastically to both of them.

Aria walked up to the lady and said, "how much did she pay you to alter your judgment and tell everyone the truth about the bag."

I was sipping the lemonade I requested not minding what she was trying to achieve in cajoling the shop assistant.

At this very moment, a tall handsome guy walked in hastily with two other assistants running after him.

I was still sitting with crossed legs sipping my drink without paying attention to the drama unfolding.

Lizzy smiled at the guy and said.

"Thank goodness you're here. I was trying to call you just now to come down and help us authenticate a fraudulent person trying to fool us."

"He smiled back and said, what do you intend to verify the authenticity?" He asked.

Lizzy looked at the bag on our table and pointed at it.

The handsome guy walked up and smiled and asked if he could check the bag.

I smiled and nodded at him to suit himself.

Not up to a minute that he picked up the bag, his expression drastically changed from smiling to angry.

"I thought as much. The bag is fake"Lizzy said and everyone present except my bestie was looking at me with scornful gazes.

Despite their gaze, I wasn't moving a bit rather I was composed and held my head majestically high and said, "Fatty, why not wait for this handsome fellow to give his verdict."

Immediately I spoke, the countenance on the manager's face brightened up and said.

"Miss Lizzy. This bag is the only latest edition in circulation from Da Milano and it's authentic." The manager said smiling at me.

"It can't be." Aria protested.

"Can you cry babies give me my trophy now or we should wait for the CEO of the showroom to come and vet the authenticity?" I said sarcastically.

"I never thought of this showroom to be cheap in designing and having unqualified staff," Aria said disdainfully.

To everyone's surprise, the manager walked up to Aria and gave her a very hard slap, and reprimanded her saying.

"I don't know why you think our showroom is unqualified to vet the authenticity of a fashion collection line. But this I will tell you. Starting from today till the day you apologize to the owner of that bag, you will be blacklisted from entering or shopping in any fashion collection line in the country." He said with vigor.

I was still seated without moving but you can tell everyone are trying to come close and befriend me. To be sincere, I know the bag will be expensive since it was Damon who got it for me but I don't know the real worth. Suddenly I heard Lizzy asking the manager,

"If you said the bag is the only one in circulation, how much does it cost?"

I was also interested in knowing how much this little bag that has caused Aria to have swollen face cost.

The manager looked at me asking with his eyes if he should divulge the information to others. I smiled and nodded at him.

"Da Milano. Is not just a brand for any Tom Dick but for VIPs. The worth of that Da Milano bag is eight million dollars."

"Wh--__-- what! Eight million do--_---dollars." Everyone's eyes were thrown into disarray and awe-stricken.

I was like 'is Damon mad or what?' Eight million dollars for this stupid bag that can not contain two pairs of clothes?

I made up my mind to confront him when I get back to his mansion. I was lost in thought when my bestie tapped me back to reality.

"Babes. Are you letting them off so easily?" She asked.

"Trust me, babes, you know it's impossible to let them off this easily," I replied.

At this moment the manager spoke to me with a smile saying, "Miss. Hope my assistant did not offend you in any way but if she does please don't hold it against us." He said.

I looked at him and smiled saying, "You need to promote her for she knows what our duty is and the principles of your showroom." I replied.

He thanked me and was leaving when I asked the lady to wait behind me.

"Cry babies, are you guy's trying to go back on your words?" I asked them sarcastically.

After my words landed, everyone started looking at them like clowns and Lizzy became angry with Aria for causing her to lose face in public.

"You bitch look at what you have caused me." Lizzy was so infuriated towards Aria.

"If not for you do you think I would have received that slap from that ugly manager of that store?" Aria replied to her.

"Are you trying to push the faults at me or what"? Lizzy said amidst anger and disgust towards Aria.

"Let me have your account details to make payment," Aria said disdainfully.

I gave them my details and waited for confirmation of payments.

Not up to five minutes, I received an alert of a million dollars without working and stress.

I looked at my bestie and told her, "it's nice doing business with dummies who don't know the value of life." I said smiling.

I picked up my bag and gave the showroom assistant a tip of five hundred dollars and she happily thanked me and left.

The lunch went on and a discussion was held on how to support our society from what life has blessed us. We decided to raise funds for the homeless and orphanages which we did. I donated five hundred thousand dollars from the money I made from betting on my bag.

At exactly 3 p.m, the launch was rounded up and we all went outside to take group pictures and exchange contacts.

After the picture, my bestie turned to me.

"I have a proposal to submit by 4pm so I have to get going, "She said.

"Oh, that's sad. I thought we were gonna have a lovely time together," I whined.

"Don't worry, just schedule another day for us to have dinner and catch up on old times, ok?" She said

"Ok, I will " I said and made to hug her.

"Some people will be trekking back home despite renting a bag, cloth and shoe for a reunion." Lizzy and Aria said at the same time. "Pauly no attention to them. I can drop you off if you don't mind," She offered.

"Nah, don't you worry, I'll pass," I politely declined.

My bestie was using a Mercedes-Benz 260S-Class.

As they were still laughing at me thinking I will be walking back home because Lizzy came in a BMW X6 and Aria came in Lexus 360.

"Let's go," I said to her and we started off to the car park. To everyone's surprise, the security supervisor gave me my car key and I walked to the Maserati MC 20 and opened the door and stepped in. I brought my head out the window and yelled toward them.

"Keep screaming your heads out while I keep surprising you," I laughed.

My bestie was so happy knowing that everyone's car is still far behind her bestie's own.

"Babes. I will text you when we will have the dinner and location soon. Take care" I said to my bestie before I zoomed off.

I saw her waving at me, smiling.
