Chapter 32: INAPPRORIATE

Hailee didn't intend to push Ariana to her fall in a completely unkind position and embarrass her any further, therefore, after she pushed her, Hailee quickly grabbed Ariana's hand to save her.

She grabbed Ariana's wrists and shoulders to help her stand up and balance her footing on her ridiculous high heels.

"Are you okay?" Hailee asked in a relaxed tone.

Of course Hailee's question was full of mockery. How could she ask if Ariana was okay after she tried to push her and then save her, as if Ariana was just an interesting toy to her.

Ariana was really angry, she really wanted to scratch the face of Hailee who was smiling at her.

"Mrs. Zeline!" Ariana yelled at Elvina while pointing at Hailee with her red nails. "You see, what she did to me!?"she exclaimed angrily. "She tried to harm me!"

However, right at that moment, before Elvina could respond to Ariana's protests, her face transformed into one of that was full of shock and she hastily walked toward Hailee and Ariana, but the two of them were not her goal. She walked passed them and greeted two ladies respectfully.

"Mrs. Lamos," said Elvina very politely. "Mrs. Tordoff. "

Not only Margaretha Lamos, but Lis Tordoff was now at her side. Who didn't know about these two women? The friendship between the two of them was well known throughout the city of A.

"What's all this commotion?" Margaretha asked, looking at her manager, then Ariana and Hailee.

Margaretha Lamos was not much taller than Lis Tordoff, although she wore white boots with a few inches tall heels. The designer wore a silver mini dress that covered half of her thighs and wore an outer that matched the boots she was wearing.

Her face looked beautiful even though she was no longer young and the aura that surrounded her was hard to ignore.

Both of these women have a strong dominant aura and this was able to make the whispers of those around them who were busy gossiping since from earlier by watching the commotion, become silent and didn't dared to say another word. They seemed curious about what action Margaretha Lamos would take now.

After all, seeing Margaretha and Lis in person, at the same place like this was a rare moment, as they were accustomed to attending parties that were mostly closed to the public or having meetings in special places that didn't allow other people to just approach them.

"Mrs. Lamos, Mrs. Tordoff." Ariana hurriedly introduced herself and her demeanor immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees from the one she had shown Hailee. "I'm Ariana from the Bell family." Ariana smiled very sweetly at the two women in front of her. "Nice to meet you two. The last time we met was three months ago, during the inauguration of the branch of the new Diva."

"I know who you are," Margaretha Lamos replied immediately and this made Ariana look even more radiant.

"Oh, I'm glad you still recognize me, Mrs. Lamos." said Ariana cheerfully, especially when she saw Lis Tordoff smiling at her.

Ck. Ck. Ck. Is this the so-called two-faced bitchy behavior? Hailee thought to herself. I can't stop thinking how Ariana wasn't embarrassed at all when she did it.

"What's the problem?" Lis asked impatiently, she looked at Hailee who was now lowering her head, trying to avoid looking directly into her eyes.

"Mrs. Tordoff, this is actually not a big problem," said Ariana again, her tone sounded so sweet and soft, as if she was a protagonist who had been hurt by the antagonist.

How disgusting.

Lis raised an eyebrow, indicating for Ariana to explain further.

And predictably, Ariana smoothly told the whole thing, adding some of her own points of view that made Hailee look bad to both of them. Not only that, Ariana even asked Elvina's approval.

"She almost pushed me to my fall, didn't she?" asked Ariana, staring at Elvina who nodded, because that's the way it was, even though Ariana left an important part where she was going to slap Hailee.

"Yes, right," replied Elvina. Retaining customers like Ariana was far more profitable in her opinion, than Hailee who was not known which family was from and not from city A.

"But, it's okay ... I've forgiven her," said Ariana again, looking at Lis Tordoff with admiration.

Who didn't know Lis Tordoff? Moreover, her first son; Ramon Tordoff. The recent rumors Ariana said that; Lis was looking for the right woman to be juxtaposed with his first son.

And maybe after this meeting ...

Ariana's mind was imagining things that were very far away, but she had to look back at reality when Lis opened her mouth and asked.

"If she pushed you, then why didn't you fall?" Lis asked, judging Ariana's appearance as she looked just fine.

"Ah, that ..." Ariana was just about to find excuses, when Lis actually asked the girl who had fought with her earlier.

"Hailee, is it true what she said earlier?" Lis asked Hailee.

Hearing her name being called, Hailee raised her head and looked back at Lis before she finally nodded.

"I did push her, but I did it because she was going to slap me," Hailee said honestly. "I didn't really push her anyway, because after that, I helped her by holding her body so that she wouldn't fall."

Hearing Hailee and Lis getting to know each other, not only made Ariana and Elvina dumbfounded, but also several people who were there started gossiping with each other, questioning what might be the relationship between Lis and that girl.

"So, she tried to slap you?" Lis asked, this time she turned her eyes sharply towards Ariana who looked embarrassed.

"No, no ... that's not it." Ariana tried to dodge it.

However, Hailee who saw that Lis would side with her, naturally wouldn't miss this golden opportunity, she stepped closer to Lis and stood right beside her, then on purpose, she called out to Lis with a slightly spoiled tone in her voice, as if she had just been bullied by Ariana and Elvina.

"Mother, she won't let me sit on that chair," Hailee pointed at Elvina. "She says; It's inappropriate for me to sit there because I'm not from city A and I don't have the proper family background to sit there. "

Hailee's voice was very low, like a child who had been blamed for something she didn't do.

Was it only Ariana who could change faces in the blink of an eye? Of course Hailee, who was responsive and adaptable, could do as well. Or even better than her!

"Inappropriate?" Lis narrowed her eyes.
