Chapter 84 A Simple Misunderstanding.
Between the fact that she was about hitting the daughter of Arvan Richardson, a man that she was well aware was not to be messed with and the death stare said man was shooting in her direction, more than enough to make her wish the floor opened up and swallowed her whole, Angelina to have realized the mistake she had committed while allowing her emotion get the best of her.
She had broken character and messed up, bad.
Her head snapped around, looking in the direction of the people who had gathered because of the commotion, whispering underneath their breaths and towards one another and then she looked behind her, where Gabriel and Leonica stood. The expression on Leonica’s face said it all, she wasn’t the least bit surprised about her three sixty change in attitude. Gabriel however, even though he wasn’t surprised, was left in a staring trance with a look of disbelief written over his face.
‘Fuck Angelina, you just had to mess it all up!’ She shut her eyes and cursed herself inwardly. ‘Think stupid, think! How can you fix this?!’
The answer to her question, unfortunately, didn’t exist. Everyone present had witnessed her actions and there was no excuse she could give. Sighing, Angelina decided to play her usual cards, pretending to be meek to gain sympathy. Although her mind warned her that those same cards wouldn’t work on Arvan like it did on Gabriel, she still went along with it, turning to face Arvan who was trying to sooth Daisy who had been crying ever since she fell into his arms.
“Mr. Arvan-”
“Richardson,” Arvan corrected sternly, looking at her through the slits of his lashes.
Angelina forced a smile but due to the tension and panic she was feeling, it turned out to be more of a twitch than an actual smile. “Of course. Mr. Richardson, I apologize, it was not my intention to harm your daughter. She was careless and ruined my dress, so I was just simply trying to... teach her a lesson for misbehaving.”
“Teach her a lesson? By what, manhandling her?” Arvan questioned, eyes darken at the thought of someone who was bold enough to hit his daughter.
“Of... of course not.” She lied, putting a meek tone in her voice to make it seem all the more convincing.
Arvan scoffed, convincing his ass. He had seen her true color which disappeared in the blink of an eyes, only an idiot would fall for a personally change like she had just done.
