Chapter 19 Party dress 2

Mia's POV

I could do nothing but snort in disgust. Just few seconds ago this same old woman was criticizing me and accusing me of destroying that same dress, was no literally kissing Victoria's ass so she would buy it.

It only made me feel even more inferior to Victoria... Not like I did not know already. 

The crowd began whispering to their selves looking at me and Victoria. 

They were belittling me, comparing both of us. I could hear them talking about the clothes I wore in comparison to Victoria's. 

" I'll take it. Oh... What about you?" Victoria turned to ask me after she was done talking to the old lady. 

She decided to buy the dress... How wonderful. 

" You don't have to care so much about her ma'am, she almost ruined your new dress..." The old lady complained gently taking down the cloth from the... human like doll.

I glared at the woman.

Just say ruin one more time... I threatened inwardly. 

She was saying it like I took a scissors and began cutting the dress into shreds!

"Mia..." Victoria turned to look at me.

" Why did you do that... Do you know how expensive this dress is..." She scolded before shaking her head softly at me.

" Don't take offense to my niece's maid. She hasn't been to a mall this big before and doesn't know how to act". Victoria said calmly to the old lady. It was like she was pleading for me.

" It's okay Ms Hamilton... I'm just glad I came here on time". 

I snorted in disbelief. Now I knew what she brought me here for, to make fun of me. To show me hoe little I was compared to her... Great just great!

Then she turned back to face me again, with a jolly smile on her face. 

" But don't worry, I came here to get you a dress and I would... How about this?" She asked gesturing to the dress in her hands. 

I gave her a stiff nod. I was too upset to speak... If I did, nobody would like what would come out from my mouth. 

"Great!" Victoria skipped happily. 

" We'll have this dress.... And that dress " Victoria saif to the old lady pointing at the dress in her hands and the other in the old lady's hand. 

The woman gave me a mean scowl with I gladly returned with a glare before she took both dresses to the counter to pack them up. 

" Isn't it lovely... " Victoria said to me a small smile on her face, but I saw something else... In the corner of her eyes was a mischievous glint, though she was able to mask it up perfectly, but I've been looked at like that all my life. 

What was this bitch planning now? 

...

Few hours ago 

...

Victoria's POV

That bitch had been in her room the entire day.

When was she coming out?

Ah... There she is. 

" Oh there you are... I've been looking all over for you" I said with a friendly smile. 

Ever since the nonsense she said to me two days ago, all I wanted to do was to pay her back. 

I saw her checking my dressing out... I had out on one of my most expensive clothes on purpose. I wanted to show her her place, and I was glad she was getting it. 

We are not on the same level bitch!

" As you may have heard, I'm having a party this weekend and I need all hands on deck, including yours... So let's get you ready". I began dragging her outside. 

" Get me ready for what? " She asked. From her tone I could tell she was not really buying my nice and kind attitude. 

I paused to look at her...

" Well... Any thing reasonable to wear". I answered eyeing her clothes. 

She kept her mouth shut after I said that... A smirk appeared on my face. 

That would teach ya. 

She kept quiet the entire ride to the mall, just looking at the window watching the tress and huge buildings. I must say, she kind of looked cute and naive as she watched each one pass her face getting even more surprised that the last. 

It was then it became clear to me. 

She was a country bumpkin. 

"Mrs Victoria... Welcome to back to Hamilton mall, how can we help you today". Kendra, the manager of the mall greeted me.

I saw the shock on Mia's face when the old woman called it Hamilton mall. 

Was she ready that shocked?

What did she think our family was... Poor?

I smiled before telling her I was her to pick out some clothes for my friend, bringing Mia forward. I dragged the friend on purpose so Kendra would understand that the lady was beneath me mad deserved no respect whatsoever. 

And the smart woman, understood giving me a calm nod. 

" Right this way". Kendra took Mia with her to the VIP lounge while I stayed behind to check out other clothes. 

I picked out a black short dress from one of the hangers...

It was a sleeveless short gown with a low neckline and had a small cut by the sides. 

It was literally designed to show skin... To seduce men. 

A smile came to my lips as I headed over to VIP lounge to meet Mia when I heard Kendra's loud voice. She was shouting at someone. 

I quicken my pace so I could see who it was. 

Oh please be Mia... Please, please be Mia. 

My prayers were answered when I saw Kendra standing next to a mannequin yelling at Mia, who also yelling back. 

Damn that bitch... Why can't she just back down. 

" This is the Jackson's latest design... And you were just checking it out? What if you had ruined it?"

My eyes widened when I heard what she said. 

Did she just say Jackson's latest design... As in Alid Jackson?

He was my all time most favorite designer? 

" Fine I'm stepping away from it... Happy? " My answered back taking few steps from the dress.

People had begun to gather around both of them, wondering what was going on... Time to use my hidden actress skills 

" Mia... Oh, what's going on here?" I asked innocently looking between Mia and Kendra. 

I saw Mia eyeing the dress I held in my arms before she turned her gaze to Kendra...

What was going on in that head of her's?

" Nothing much ma... It's just that your friend here almost ruined this new dress that only recently arrived to our mall, I was only correcting her". Kendra answered interrupting my thoughts. 

Ruined? This was perfect. I wanted so bad to smile, but I held up my good person face, turning to look at the dress 

"It's gorgeous... Don't tell me it's Jackson's latest? " I asked as if I had no just heard the old lady say it. 

" Yes ma'am. We only have one this design... And I bet it would look perfect on you". I walked towards the mannequin which more the dress to examine it. 

It was perfectly beautiful. 

A dark red flawless gown that reached the gown, it had a long split that started at the mid thigh so a person could walk in it without feeling tight.

My eyes glanced at the price tag and my breath hitched. 

It was over one million dollars. Way too costly.... But the it was beautiful. 

I contemplated about buying it for a while, Alexander would not like it if he heard I spent over a million on a dress. 

But then the crowd began whispering among themselves, saying how I was more beautiful and had more style than Mia. 

Alexander just has to take it. 

" I'll take it. " I said finally then I looked at Mia with a shocked expression " Oh... What about you?" Victoria turned to ask me after she was done talking to the old lady. 

" You don't have to care so much about her ma'am, she almost ruined your new dress..." I heard Kendra say. 

It pleased me so much to hear her talk down on Mia, but I had to still put on a worried smile for Mia. 

"Mia..."

" Why did you do that... Do you know how expensive this dress is..." I scolded feeling on top of the world. 

Then I faced old lady again. 

" Don't take offense to my niece's maid. She hasn't been to a mall this big before and doesn't know how to act".

I heard Mia snort, but it only made me more happy. I'll have to reward this woman after this. 

" It's okay Ms Hamilton... I'm just glad I came here on time". 

" But don't worry, I came here to get you a dress and I would... How about this?" I asked pointing at the dress in my arms. 

Although I wanted it for myself, it would make more sense if I gave it to Mia so at least the people watching would think I'm a nice person.

Plus an evil an came to my mind. 

I saw her nod, jumped happily. 

She had taken the bait. 

" We'll have this dress.... And that dress " I said to Kendra who took the dress from my hands to pack it up. 

" Isn't it lovely... " I said with a beautiful smile... An evil plan hatching in my mind. 

Mia was going to regret ever messing with me.
