So she was right, Leonica thought with a smirk during the car ride back home, Irene's just a pawn, and the real culprit must be someone close. Now, who would it be? She didn't have an answer for that, but it didn't matter, what did, was the fact that she now had proof that she had been right and she could now move on with her plan.
Her plan, Leonica sighed as she leaned her head against the window, how many times since she cback to Norway has she had to concoct a plan to catch smastermind? Said masterminds were even surprisingly dull, but that didn't stop them from being annoying. And Irene was going to be no different.
Leonica had no beef with her. She couldn't hold her accountable for being brought into this world, but she could hold her accountable for joining hands with someone to ruin her family.
Which begged the question, what were they actually hoping to achieve? To soil her father's nand make him look like an uncaring father in the eyes of the public, thus leading to the decline of the Romero family's wealth, which would also cause her wealth to decline. Or, did they simply just want money? No, she shook her head, Not everyone was as shallow as Angelina.
There was something bigger to this, something even she needed to concentrate hard on, in other to figure it out. Something that needed the existence of Irene to be exposed. What is it? "Ah, here we go again," Leonica groaned as she massaged her head. Damn, how she hated this part of the cycle, having to decipher her enemies moves in other to win the game. Pulling out her phone, she clicked on a few buttons and dialed Lena, her private investigator's number.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe phone rang for a few seconds before it was answered. "Ms. Romero, how can I help you?" "I need you to keep an eye on someone, Lena. Do it in a way that doesn't draw any attention. Her name's Irene Rosewood." The other end was silent for a few seconds before Lena responded. "...of course, Ms. Romero. Is there anything else?" Leonica thought for a few seconds before nodding to herself. "As a matter of fact, there is." The next day Irene woke up feeling horrible. As she got ready to go to the department store, she grumbles about how she had slept on nothing but thin layers provided by Meredith. That was no way for them to treat the family's first daughter.
"Good morning, second madam." Meredith greeted when she spotted Irene stepping out. "Are you heading somewhere? Would like if if I asked for a car to be prepared?" "Yes," Irene answered without even sparing the maid a glance. "Have them prepare a car for me." Meredith ignored the arrogance in Irene's words and did as she was told. Soo, Irene was cruising towards the department store in the Maybach that had been prepared for her. When she arrived, the driver held the door open for her. As she stepped out, she smirked.
Surely she could get used to this.
"Where can I find the furniture department?" Irene asked the driver as she handed him her bag.
The man simply pointed towards the second floor and Irene nodded before leaving.
Once there, Irene took her tto browse through all the things there, before choosing a couple of them.
The sales person who had been helping her was stunned by the amount of things Irene wanted. "Miss," He began. "Are you sure you want all these? The prices here at our stores are quite high." "Are you doubting me?" Irene asked, narrowing her eyes at him, while she took offense to his words. "Are you saying I'm poor?" The man quickly shook his head, not wanting to get in trouble with her. "No, of course not, I didn't-" "How audacious!" Irene exclaimed. "To think I'd be disrespected like this!" She turned to her driver who was standing a little far off. "You," She beckoned him. "Find the manager of this store." When the driver hesitated, she screamed. "Now!" The driver, along with the sales person, flinched, before rushing to do as they were told.
Irene, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel pleased by the reaction of the two.
It was just a few seconds later that the store's manager cover and after seeing the crowd that was growing because of the scene Irene was causing, the first thing he did was to ask for an explanation "What's going on here?" He questioned the employee who silently pointed between Irene and her stack of chosen things.
"Excusesir," Irene called out, not liking the fact that the manager didn't address her immediately. "This sales person is rude. He has been treatingdisrespectfully. I think no I know I deserve ano apology." "Hello, Miss, i'm sorry for my employee's rude behavior. He's still new to the job and isn't aware of how he should act with a customer. How about we allow his actions pass and settle your-" The manager was stunned when he turned and saw all Irene's choosing. This... This is yours, ma'am?" "Yes, and I'd be paying with this." She pulled out the black card Leonica had given her.
The manager nearly choked on his saliva.
"This...this is a black card. Only three percent of the world's population has these and yet...you... You're... I apologize for my imprudence, Ma'am, please forgive me!" Irene was speechless with her eyes wide for a few seconds, but after seeing the manager bow and show utmost respect, her lips curved into a delicious smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOh, was this how the richest of the rich got threated? Was this how Leonica got threated? How she was going to be treated from now on? If that was the case, then, this was certainly heaven.
And oh, how she could get used to it! "What is your name?" "Manager Connor Ma'am!" The manager, Connor, answered with a loud voice.
"Connor," Irene smiled devilishly as she stepped forward and raised the manager's head. "There's no need for you to bow, the one who made the mistake is over there." In one swift movement, Connor's head spun to face the employee. "You, get over here and apologize." "But," "Get here, get down on your knees and apologize if you don't want to lose your job!" "Ma'am," The employee quickly got down on his knees and apologized. "I'm so sorry, please, please forgive me."
After a couple minutes of begging, Irene felt satisfied and as the om manager dismissed the employee, the people who had been watching began to whisper. "Isn't this abuse of power?" "Srich people truly are disgusting." "The manager shouldn't have allowed himself to be pressured." "Ma'am, please this way, let's finish your purchase over there." Irene ignored the whispers of the people and followed Connor.
She was so high on the feeling of power that she failed to notice m someone, Lena Rowan, holding up her phone's camera, videoing the entire thing. The moment she was gone, she ended the video and sent the entire thing to Leonica.
