Chapter 2 One

Angela's POV

How did I get myself into this mess, this has got to be the worst thing that's ever happened to me and bad things happen to me a lot.

++++++++++

I walked into the store 'grandiosa y hermosa' a very beautiful and expensive store, it was known to sell only the most exquisite and beautiful items,the clothes there were designers, the shoes were simply to die for and not just anyone could shop here.

The cheapest thing in the store ranges from three hundred dollars and I didn't have such money with me, I just thought I'd look around a bit and try on some beautiful shoes. I went to the shoes aisle, I needed to get a new pair of shoes fast before Monday, I had a job interview to attend and I didn't have any nice shoes or clothes to wear, I usually shop at a thrift store and I've already gotten a really nice outfit but I was unable to get good shoes.

I honestly don't know why I came to this store to buy shoes, everything here is crazily expensive and I could see some shoppers giving me weird looks but who cares.

I saw bunch of beautiful shoes but most of them were too expensive, ugly, or not my size. After checking out several shoes, I finally found the perfect one, it was a black diamond studded heel, it was perfect. I just needed to check if it was my perfect size.

I tried it on and it fitted perfectly, just as I was admiring myself, someone bumped into me hard making me fall and break the heel.

I stood up and turned furiously to the person who bumped into me. It was a man with the most arrogant look ever, he didn't even look sorry, he just stared at me and shrugged. He was about to turn away when I shoved him around angrily.

"Hey, what are you? Blind or stupid? You bumped into me and you're leaving like nothing happened? Are you crazy or something?" The man looked shocked for a second and then pissed.

"How dare you touch me? Do you know who I am?" He roared.

"Oh I'm sorry your royal highness, I didn't realize that your skin was made of gold"

"You insolent peasant....."

I delivered a tight slap to his face and he looked more furious and shocked.

"Who the hell do you think you are? God? You walk around arrogantly and act like you own the place...."

Suddenly two employees came rushing in, one had red hair and she was tall and slender, she had a mean girl look and vibes, the other lady who looked like she just started working here was a young smallish brunette.

They both addressed the man with respect which seems crazy because he was a very young man, even though he looked very important. One of them, the redhead, spoke to me "What's going on here?" She demanded harshly.

"We heard a loud noise" the other lady said

"This lady, this peasant slapped me!" The man said angrily and both of them looked shocked. The redhead turned to me again.

"You did what? Who are you anyways? Do you know who he is?" Then she turned to the man "I'm terribly sorry about this Mr Perry, I promise this won't happen again..."

"It better not, people like her will ruin this store's reputation" he turned to leave but then stopped abruptly and turned to me "you're going to pay for this" he said and then left.

The two ladies turned to me and they looked livid "you're gonna have to pay for that" the redhead lady said while pointing to the broken heel on the floor.

"How much is it?" I asked

"Three hundred and fifty dollars" the second lady said casually.

"What? Three hundred and fifty? but you didn't give me a chance to even explain myself, he bumped into me, if anything, he should be the one paying for it, not me"

"Do I look like I care? Listen to me, you either pay for the shoe you ruined or I'll have you arrested"

"Arrested? But it's not my fault.... I didn't ruin it on purpose.... It's his....."

"Oh I see how it's gonna go, Clara, call security and have them hold this lady down until I call the cops"

The other lady ran to call security while the redhead stood looking me up and down.

"I know your type, you walk into expensive stores, start trying on things you can't afford, take pictures of yourself and post it all over social media so people think you're rich not knowing you're just a filthy lowlife with no money and judging from your appearance, you probably don't have a job either" tears welled up in my eyes at the lady's harsh words.

"You can't stand there and judge me, do you have any idea..."

"Oh please, save the waterworks, nobody cares about your life or your sob story."

She smirked as a security guard approached us

"I'll make sure you never have the guts to show your face in public again, you're gonna regret the day you stepped foot in grandiosa y hermosa" she said.

"Mark? Please escort this lady to the counter and see to it that she remains there until the cops get here"

"Yes ma'am" the security guard replied and gripped my arm firmly "this way ma'am" he said and I followed him silently with my head bowed in shame as shoppers turned to stare and whisper.

I must have been waiting at the counter for what feels like forever but in reality, I've only been there for five minutes when a phone corner rang and Clara went to pick it up, she spoke into the receiver for a while and then called the redhead whom I just discovered that her name was Stacey

"Stacey, it's for you" Clara called and Stacey walked up to the phone and placed the receiver in her ear

"hello?....oh hi sir.....yes sir....absolutely.....excuse me?....seriously?....um, okay..." she glared at me before whispering into the receiver even though I could still hear her "three hundred and fifty dollars sir.....okay sir, I'll do that....thank you sir" she slammed the receiver down and walked back to me.

"Well, aren't you a lucky bitch, Mr Perry just agreed to pay for you, guess you're not going to jail today but that doesn't mean you're welcome back at this store, in fact, I'm banning you from this store, you are not to step even one foot close to this store, do you understand me?"

She asked and I nodded slowly feeling dazed, embarrassed, slightly relieved and a bit shaken.

Then, she called the security guard again.

"Mark, see to it that this lady never returns here, she's banned" Mark nodded and escorted me out.

I drove back home in tears, the humiliation was too much. But who was that man, I wondered.
