Chapter 77
“Of course I did enjoy it there,” Rosie replied as they alighted from the cab. They were heading to a boutique where they planned
to do wedding shopping. The wedding gown and uniform attire for the bridesmaids, the shoes and all that stuff
They had all returned to Las Vegas yesterday afternoon and today was Friday. All during their stay there, Aria tried her best to
stay away from Oliver, she ignored him whenever he spoke to her and always tried to avoid conversations with him.
At a point, the CEO gave up and decided to just enjoy their stay there and then travel back. They had boarded a normal flight on
their way back but in the elite class.
“Well that is good, since you would be seeing them almost every day, you need to find them fun enough to be with.” Aria advised.
“Almost every day?” Rosie queried and scoffed. “You make it sound like I would be living with them in Paris,” she added and
laughed.
Aria chuckled. “Okay, maybe not every day but at least you will be a part of their family so yes, you have to enjoy their company,”
she insisted as they walked down the pathway that led to the boutique.
It was the Baroness Designs and Collections; one of the most popular boutiques in the entire Nevada. That was one of the few
places that they could get whatever they wanted and of great quality; they had both male and female wears.
They arrive at the glass swipe door and Rosie tries to push it open but to no avail, “why isn’t it opening?” she queried.
Aria sighed and bumped her palm on her fist, “Because it says closed, can’t you see the sign on the door?” she replied and
chuckled.
“What? Closed? No, it can’t be, it’s very important that we do the shopping today, very very important,” Rosie panicked.
“Calm down Rosie, the wedding is still in a week and few days time,” Aria said
“I know that but there is no time at all, we can’t afford to lose this chance, the shopping cannot happen any other day or it won’t
be perfect,” Rosie lamented.
“So what do you want to do now?” Aria queried.
“Someone get out here now!” she ordered while knocking continuously on the door.
Aria sighed in disappointment, Rosie was still a psycho after all, even though she had been away for seven years, she was used
to this type of embarrassment from her best friend.
Finally, someone opened the door and walked out. “Excuse me ma’am, I have reasons to believe that you are not blind, so why
are you knocking on our door?” the lady asked while pointing to the sign that says closed. She was dressed in a security
personnel outfit which had the boutique’s logo on it, maybe she was one.
“Hey, don’t talk to me in that manner you big fat thing,” Rosie cursed.
Aria chuckled at her friend’s curse. Well honestly, the lady was too fat but Rosie could have been a bit nicer, body shaming isn’t
right at all.
“Please forgive my friend, she just has a problem with her temper,” she said immediately. “Can I know why the boutique is closed
today?” Aria asked curiously.
It was unusual for such a large and famous boutique to just close up without giving a notice days earlier on their website.
“Madam, the building is undergoing maintenance, so we won’t be open until tomorrow,” the woman replied while shooting eye
daggers at Rosie. She must be harboring so much hatred for her right now after being called a big fat thing. Rosie wasn’t any
more remorseful on her own side, she didn’t regret it at all.
“Look, it is really important that we do shopping today, you didn’t inform us that the boutique would be closed ahead of time so
this excuse is none of our business, open the shop now!” Rosie requested in a mean tone.
“I don’t think you are talking to me ma’am, but in case you are, I don’t take orders from you and my job is to make sure no one
gets in here while the maintenance is going on,” she replied rudely and Rosie scoffed.
“But I don’t happen to see a handyman,” Aria said while looking into the shop.
“Well he just finished his work here and left but we are still not opening this place till tomorrow,” she persisted.
“Well you have to open it, do you know who we are?” Rosie fired, she was certainly losing her mind.
“Um... you don’t look like Queen Elizabeth of England, so who are you, my lady?” the woman asked mockingly.
“Well let’s see how you get past this door,” the woman scoffed and sat down by the wall beside the door. It looks like Psycho just
met crazy madness; hopefully they don’t set this place ablaze.
Aria took Rosie’s hands and pulled her to a corner. “Rosie, please calm down... I can see the staff inside which means if I talk to
their manager, they could permit us to do shopping today,” she said calmly.
“No Aria, you don’t have much influence in this god forsaken country, and moreover, we don’t want to spread the information that
Arianna McQueen is in Las Vegas, you would draw attention to yourself and that would slow us down,” Rosie reasoned.
“You are right, not just that... if I expose my identity, it will affect my job as I had told my sponsors that I was on an important
business trip to attend, they are yet to but that lie and if the headline reads that I was having a time of my life in Las Vegas
tomorrow morning, then I would be in trouble,” she replied and sighed.
“You are right, I think you should call Oliver, let him do it himself as he has more influence in this city,” Rosie suggested.
“Well, you know that I am having issues with him, I can’t call him,” she protested.
“Please Aria, he is the only one who can help us now and you know that, I really want to do this shopping today, please...” she
pleaded.
“Oh Rosie,” Aria groaned. “Why don’t you call him yourself or you ask Sammy to do it for you.”
“Aria, you know Oliver and I fell apart when your relationship with him ended, we had a little fight and even though it’s in the past
now, your husband doesn’t talk to me, you know him and his ego,” she scoffed.
“First, my ex husband... and secondly, I can’t believe you two don’t talk to each other, and I never knew all this while.” Aria said
with a look of surprise.
“Well it’s the truth, we aren’t fighting anymore but we aren’t speaking either, I am not going to apologize to him unless you first
forgive him, and don’t try to convince me to reconcile with him, not until you have decided to do so yourself,” she added.
“Fine, whatever you say... forget about Oliver then, just call Sammy and ask him to deliver the message to his boss,” Aria
instructed.
Rosie brought out her phone and dialed Sammy’s number then she shook her head in disappointment. “It is not going through,
please just call Oliver, for my sake Aria, we don’t have much time,” she pleaded.
Aria sighed and placed her palm on her forehead, she hated being in this situation. What was more important at the moment, her
best friend’s request or avoiding Oliver? Finally she decided to call him, she would just have to swallow her pride and do it for the
sake of her best friend.
