Chapter 10
Since she was still fuming with everything that Callum had accused her of and how he treated her, she decided that it was not best for her to go home Immediately because Cara noticed her foul mood, and she didn’t want that.
So, instead of immediately going home, she decided to drop by somewhere in the heart of the city’s most exclusive shopping district.
Ciara stepped into the wide halls of ‘Premier de Calypso,‘ a boutique renowned for its exorbitant prices and discerning clientele.
She set out to find the dress that Cara had seen in a glossy magazine a month earlier.
hope they still have those sots. But I wouldn’t mind buying her a few more things,” she couldn’t help but whisper to herself.
Except for a few sales executives, the boutique was surprisingly empty when she arrived, but she soon realized that it would close for private viewing in an hour and a half.
As Ciara browsed the racks. She couldn’t help but smile, as she couldn’t stop thinking about how Cara would look in these beautiful dresses.
“Do you wish to buy this, madam?” A female sales executive asked with a polite smile on her face. “This is from our recently released collection,” she said. “We only have a few stocks left for the collection, and this particular design is the last from our stock”
“Really?” she exclaimed. “Oh, it is actually a good thing that I visited now,” Clara smiled. “Then I’ll get this and the rest of the collection. Their sizes are just about right for my daughter.”
The woman smiled in surprise but immediately took five more dresses from the rack.
Even though Ciara seemed so cold most of the time, she was never condescending.
Just as they were about to go to the counter, a commotion erupted at the entrance. A group of women, their voices raised in arrogant tones, swept into the boutique, their designer bags jangling.
“Excuse me! You should leave,” barked a woman with a shrill voice, her eye’s narrowing at Ciara. “This boutique is closing for a private viewing. Only VIPs are allowed.”
Ciara wanted to raise an eyebrow as she recognized the woman who spoke. It was Mirenda. She was with Callum earlier, and yet she obviously has the hots with her brother Chance as well. She noticed that immediately when she saw how Mirenda looked at her while she was having dinner with Chance.
Mirenda started walking close to her. A look of annoyance shows off her face as she turns to the sales executive, who starts bowing in her presence.
“What is this? Didn’t I call five hours ago that I want this boutique closed for when my friends and I come?” Mirenda gave her a taunting and disgusted look on Clara.
“Miss Mirenda, we apologize. We were just finishing with our last client and will be preparing the boutique for your visit with Miss Cathy and Miss Lisa. In the meantime, we offer from usage of our exclusive lounge while waiting, and we will serve you with refreshments,” the other executive rushed towards Mirenda.
She could see how tense the sales attendants were, so it seems that these women may be some real VIPs in this place, and Ciara is not someone who wants some people to get in trouble because of her.
“I’m sorry, it was me who came into the boutique since I saw that it wouldn’t be open for private viewing until an hour and a half from now. Don’t worry. I am already done. I’ll just pay all those at the counter, and I’m good to go.” She tried to be polite, and she saw the relief look on the face of the executive
that she talked with earlier.
Mirenda looked at her, annoyed. “I don’t care. made a reservation for this place, so leave now.”

Chapter 10
Ciara blinked in surprise. “But I’m already done shopping for my daughter’s clothes, and all I need to do is make a payment,” she protested. “I don’t think its fair for you to ask me to leave when your reservation is technically not valid until an hour and a half from now.”
“Excuse me? Do you think that actually matters? I don’t care if those dresses are for your daughter. She’s not important,” sneered the other woman. “We are the elite of the fashion world, and our needs must be met.”
A flicker of annoyance crossed Clara’s face, but she chose to remain composed. She was already annoyed with Callum earlier, and she came to her so she could buy a dress for her daughter, and yet these people are testing her patience.
*Please be mindful of your words about my daughter. I understand that you’re important,” she said, “but I was here first, and as important as you all are you also need to follow the rules of this place. You reserve this place at a specific time, so you wait for it and let me pay for what I bought.”
*First come, first served does not apply to the likes of us,” retorted Cathy. “Now, leave this establishment at once.”
“Right? And look at her,” Lisa sneered. “A commoner is trying to dress her child in clothes she probably can’t afford.”
“Well, that’s understandable. I just saw her with Chance earlier. They were eating at a five–star restaurant. She’s probably one of those girls who seduces him. Too bad, Chance is not someone anybody could tame.”
“What? Do you know who he is?! He’s not someone in your league! Keep dreaming!”
Clara wanted to laugh at them. Somehow, she couldn’t help but wonder what kind of family they were in. The fact that she was already introduced as the new CEO and yet these girls don’t have any idea who she is only means that they are not part of the upper elite.
“Oh, trust me. I very well know who he is. However, the fact that I don’t know any of you means you are not that important,”
“Oh, really?” Mirenda challenged. “Do you know who we are? My family owns half the fashion houses in this city. We can make or break a designer with a single word. I can break gold diggers like you with just one word,” she warned as she looked at Clara with deadly eyes.
Mirenda took another step towards her. “I can make your life miserable, woman. I can make you fall on your knees and beg that I spare your disgusting little like, enough to make you regret you even crossed paths with me,”
