1657words
'Nothing much just reminding you that your ‘fiance' just chose his investor, who is a seductive and beautiful woman, over you and there is nothing you could do about it," Sapphire said and Heather glare intensified, she took Sapphire's hand and drag her away from the crowd who were already staring at the dramatic scene in front of them.
She stopped at a place where there was not anyone and dropped her hand before turning to stare at her with a menacing glare.
'What do you think you are doing?" He gritted out and Sapphire shrugged.
'What does it look like?"
'You set Luci up with Oliver, you made her approach him," She said and Sapphire shrugged again, this time more nonchalantly than before.
'Why? I can't do that?" Sapphire asked and Heather fumed.
'Of course you can't, that is deliberating …"Heather said but was cut off by Sapphire's laughter. 'What is funny?" She asked and Sapphire coughed trying to calm herself down.
'You are such a hypocrite, when Melissa matched you up with Oliver and made you seduce him you didn't try to refute it, instead you jumped at the opportunity at the first chance you got," Sapphire said and Heather was speechless for a while. 'Melissa did, why can't I? You told me that it is my fault that I didn't hold on tight to Oliver, and that is the reason why he left.
So here is a piece of advice for you right now, hold on tight to Oliver, hold on so tight like he is your lifeline, hold on so tight like you would hold the position that would elevate your pathetic life," Sapphire said with a mocking smile.
'Stop saying nonsense,"
'Of course, I will stop, your fiancé cannot be tempted by ladies who came from nowhere, especially when he have a fiancé of his own, it didn't worked in the past and it surely won't work now,"
'You are not going to get anything from doing this,"
'If you already knew that, why are you worried about it?" Sapphire asked and Heather swallowed the lump in her throat, but still refused to talk, she held the side of her gown tightly as she stared at Sapphire with hatred. 'Oh right, I am sure that he is on his way to leading her out of this place in order to get back to his beloved," Sapphire said, looking at her right side, which also made Heather stare at the place.
Oliver was laughing with Luci and she seemed to be leading him out of the place, the idiot was following her like he had no brain and Heather felt the rate of her heart beat rise up.
'You should call that sister of his for a ride home, he won't be coming back here, I am saying that from experience," Sapphire said and stood straight. 'Try to tell your fiancé to stay clear of her because as sweet as she is, she is also a psycho, she would snatch your fiancé from you and leave him after leaving him in ruins, I am telling you this because we are old friends," She had finished adjusting herself, so she started to walk away, leaving Heather motionless and rooted to a spot.
Sapphire turned back to give her a once over before she let out a sickeningly sweet smile, one that made Heather almost want to throw up.
'I hope the rest of your day is like your face," She said and turned to walk away,and as Sapphire made her way down the stairs with a small smile and a happy glint, Heather only thought of one thing.
Did Sapphire feel as miserable as she was feeling when they all turned on her three years ago?
She made her way down the stairs, looking around for any trace of Oliver but couldn't find any. Oliver is moving away from her and there's nothing she could do about it.
She smiled at the important people she met on the way, bowing politely but never making any move to stop and have a short discussion with them like she does everytime she goes to an occasion with Oliver, she couldn't find the energy to make a conversation!
As soon as she was out of people's view, she hastened her step and entered the car and removed her phone from the bag. She dialed Oliver's number but it went to voicemail.
She started the car after she tried it several times but got the same result, she drove away angrily, breaking all the traffic rules that ever existed.
She stopped in front of the apartment she and Oliver live in and entered, she looked around the house and saw no sign of Oliver, she sat on the bed once she was inside the room and called a number on her phone.
'Found anything on her?" She asked, throwing her hand bag on the bed.
'She is a very close friend with Ms. Sapphire just as you suspected, they have been friends since they were in Gisborne, she followed her to New York," The man on the phone replied and Heather massaged her temple in frustration.
'I knew it! Why didn't Oliver know anything about this? You know what? I would wire the rest of the money to you, I would contact you for any more information I want to know about," Heather said and hung up the call.
She threw the phone sideways and buried her head in the sheets. She wants to sleep off and find out that everything is a horrible dream, she had because of anxiety.
Her phone rang and she turned to look at it, she sighed heavily when she saw that it was her mother, she just ignored it and let it ring.
She would probably ask her how her relationship with Oliver is going and when she detects that there is something wrong, because she would definitely do, her mother would go on a rant on how much she had to hold on to Oliver.
It is not like she can leave the man, she loves him too much to do that, she has to also keep her social status and her place among her family members. She has been the respected daughter in her family since three years ago, when Oliver announced her as his fiance.
She heard the door open and quickly stood up. She went to the living room and saw Oliver sitting on the chair. He looked tired and she could smell the faint scent of wine on him.
'Why did you leave with her?" She asked, straightforwardly and Oliver stared at her before rolling his eyes.
'What was that at the party?" He asked and she scoffed.
'Don't ask questions when I demand answers, I should be the one asking you that, why was Luci clinging on to you at the party,"
'We were only having a discussion, she is the real deal right now, I can't let her go because of your immaturity," Oliver dismissed and Heather stared at him in disbelief.
'Immaturity? Seriously? Do you have to choose her at that moment, hundred of eyes were staring at them and all you did was embarrass me, right in front of those employees too,"
'Heather, let us have this discussion tomorrow, I am so tired,"
'You mean that you are so tired and drunk, you were only showing her out, why on earth should you have a drink with?"
'I had a drink with her because she wanted to use one to clear her head and I could use one too at that moment,"
'Don't drink with her, she is your enemy, she is Sapphire's best friend, they have been together for a long time and this is probably a plan to bring you down," she said in exasperation and Oliver stared at her like she was nuts.
'I know that you are stupid but not to this extent," Oliver said and Heather's eyes widened in shock, was Oliver insulting her? 'Why would Sapphire send someone that would make me rise up to the top to me? She is a fucking gold in the business world, the naive daughter of Mr. Carter who would be easy to manipulate. If she is on a mission like you said, I am not a fool, I would recognize a pit when I see one,"
'But Sapphire —"
'Can you fucking quit mentioning her damn name, Sapphire every fucking time, are you obsessed with her, one time she embarrassed you, another time she insults you, now she is scheming something with Luci, can't you take a fucking break?" He yelled at her angrily and Heather stared at him speechlessly.
'It is your fault in the first place for not taking care of her as soon as she arrived at New York, you should know that you are her easiest target, did you see her go to Melissa and Venita? It is because they are smart and you are the opposite, do anything you feel would shut her up and get out of my freaking sight!" He snapped at her, glaring at her before he left the place, leaving her standing like a statue.
Heather nodded her head and pursed her lips in determination, she would take care of that damn woman,it is because of her that Oliver is disrespecting her.
She dialed a number on her phone and stared ahead with an angry stare.
'Hello, ma'am,"
'Is it ready?" She asked.
'Yes ma'am,"
'Upload it," she said and hung up the call.
An evil smirk spread on her lips as she could already hear the murmurs, rumors and insults that Sapphire would get, she moved her head gently as if listening to a melody, a pleased expression on her face.
