CHAPTER 9: Shopping Spree
Laura POV
I smiled at him and he just stared at me with a disgusted face.
"Thanks for the card, I will make sure to use it nicely," I said, giving another smile.
"Thanks brother" Arianna said and he glared at her.
He took his suitcase and left the house. A few minutes later, I could hear the screeching of tires outside. Xavier had left.
"Ready to go on a shopping spree?" Ariana said excitingly. She was always cold but was smiling because I had to do some shopping.
"Yes," I said, followed with a nod.
"Then let's go!!" She screamed, her voice dropping with excitement as she dragged me upstairs.
"The hell, going shopping early this morning??" I thought and followed her trying not to fall off the stairs with the way she was dragging me.
She took me to her room and started scattering the wardrobe throwing clothes everywhere and I had to dodge them so they wouldn't drop on my face.
She was smiling while scattering the room. I never thought Ariana has this side of her, she was always frowning and being mean. Shopping! I made a mental note for that. If I want to get along with Ariana, I will have to take her on a lot of shoppings.
She finally found the dress she was looking for, looking for a perfect dress maybe.
She came to me and dragged me up from the bed, she checked the dress with my body and smiled.
Damn it! Was she scattering the whole wardrobe just to get me a dress?? I thought and she smiled.
"Yeah! You are wearing this! Go to your room and put it on, be back in five minutes" she said and I swallowed hard.
The dress was too short, I got many of these types from Olivia but I dare not wear it because of a reason well known to me.
But right now, Arianna is happy and I don't want to bring her back to her mean self by complaining about the dress.
"Okay" I said and smiled then walked back to my room.
The room was to my taste, it was just like they had been prepared to bring in a wife to be here, right! One Mabel was the one who had to do this before she ran away.
I quickly got to the shower and took a bath, I tried to make it fast because of the time I was given.
I looked at the dress one more time before trying to put it on.
It is a silver lace dress designed with silver coral beads all over.
I put it on and walked out of the room only to see Ariana in front of my door as she waved the heels in her hands to my face.
"Put it on" She simply said dropping the shoe in front of me and I sighed, it's not my first time wearing heels and I find them uncomfortable, so uncomfortable.
I put it on just like she has instructed and it fits so perfectly.
"Wow! It is a surprise how all your things align well with me" I said with a smile.
"Yeah! You are not that big, slim just like me" She said with sarcasm and I sneered.
She had finished dressing and I could notice that she added a little touch up to her face.
We both walked out of the room to the compound and Arianna deliberated before finally choosing a black Rolls Royce to go out with.
We got to the mall and I marvelled at how big the building is.
I wanted to tell Ariana that I haven't been at a place this big but I waved it off since she might just make fun of me.
We both entered the clothing mall and she told me to pick what I want, whatever.
I watched her as she points at almost every dress telling one of the employees to pick them up for her.
I sighed staring at the dresses as they didn't look like mine, they all belong to the rich class and I couldn't get the thought out of my head that I am still the filthy Laura that I used to be.
I have only spent a day here so I don't feel like I'm one of them already, besides I haven't signed the contract yet.
I rarely got new clothes from my parents even as a gift. Olivia gave me some of her newly bought clothes sometimes but I couldn't bring myself to put it on because to me they all seemed like dresses that belonged to a whore.
I was pointing a little, telling the employee to pick it up from the pile of clothes, the dresses I think could still stand as mine. Ariana noticed that I wasn't picking the dresses like she had instructed me too and she just sighed.
She walked over to me glaring at me. She leaned in closer to me and whispered to my ear. You can't wear only these to my brother's meetings, you have to dress like a billionaire if you want to be called one.
She whispered and told the staff to drop all the clothes I had picked, she walked over to a drawer and pointed at some dresses.
"From here to here" She said and the staff nods meaning noted.
For real?? She's gonna get me everything?? I thought and swallowed hard.
Okay then, let's act like a billionaire if we want to be called one. I thought to myself and smiled.
Soon after, we moved to the shoe mall and Ariana was trying to pick shoes for me and I scoffed.
I walked over to the store pointing at two racks together.
"Pack everything from here to here" I said and she looked at me with surprise.
She burst into a short laughter while I only smiled.
"I just hope you don't let my brother run out of money right now, he's almost bankrupt right now" She whispered to my ear and I gasped.
"Bankrupt?? And he told me to come shopping???" I thought, blinking eyes, staring at all the things I had told them to pack which they had already packed!!!
"Uhm. How much does a shoe cost??" I asked the staff.
