Chapter 9 He did! He gave me the ring!

Elise smacked the drink she was holding on the table angrily

How dare Phoenix bring another woman to this kind of event?

Hey Elise did you break up with Phoenix ? Why is there someone else? Her friend asked

He chose another date and Elise was waiting for him the whole day

Did you guys break up?

She forced a smile and looked at her friends, we did not break up she might be a business partner

A business partner or his flings?

Oh is Phoenix a cheat too? Oh my all this men be cheating and rubbing it on your face

How can he bring a fling here?

Phoenix!! Elise said and clenched her fist

Don't worry Elise we will deal with her for you she gotta know her place

If Phoenix finds out

He will do nothing! He is cheating he can't be fighting for a fling just Leave it to us

What if she's someone important?

There's no important person here that we do not know about she must be some lowlife from the club clinging to him after a one night stand

True!

Good evening Mr Arnold! Someone greeted and he looked back at them and smirk

Oh who do we have here?

We saw that you also came to the gathering and decided to say hi to you

Do you need something! Go straight to it! He said and the man coughed

Oh Mr Arnold you are too straightforward

Sure I am!

The evergreen estate construction we are thinking if you can give it to our company

What do you have to offer me?

We can do the whole construction with only 50% down payment then we settle everything later on

Isn't that a risk for you? Considering the fact that your company whole funds might go down into the remaining 50% the project is a big one

Business is a risk Mr Arnold we need to take a bold step to be Able to move forward

Really? Gemma what do you think?

What? Me?

Yes! They need a project from me and wanted to take a risk

Why do you need to take such a risk Mr?

We need to build our business foundation even if it falls we build it again and Arnold cooperation is a big deal we need their support to grow we need to help our staff come into limelight as well

Phoenix he thinks highly of you give it to him

Consider it done!

Really?

Jones send the project to their company tomorrow with 80% payments

Yes sir!

Thank you so much Mr Arnold! Thank you miss

Gemma! She's my fiancée! He said happily

Your fiancée? She's a rare gem she just saved thousands of people

Thank you for the compliment you can go enjoy the party now sir

Elise!

What

Can you believe it? My dad said Phoenix gave them a project because that girl told him to!

What? The girl he brought with him?

Yes that girl! It was a project worth billions of dollars and he gave it out with 80% payment because of the girl

That's crazy! The girl must be important

Look at the dress she's wearing! The creative designer Made it for $500k a whopping $500k Elise! and Phoenix purchased it

Who the hell is she? Where did she come from?

Never seen her before too she's wearing a mask we can't see her face

Well let's take take the mask off

How?

She's going to the restroom follow her! Elise said and they followed Gemma out

The restroom is so big! She said while rinsing her hand, she cleaned it and went outside immediately she got outside she tripped and fell down

What the hell! She said and adjusted her tiara and stood up, she looked beside her and saw the ladies standing there and glaring at her, why are you staring at me that way?

You! Why are you following Phoenix back and forth where did you come from? She yelled at her and she stepped back slowly

Wa.wai.wait! Why are you scaring me off? He told me to follow him

Don't you know he has a fiancée?

Fiancée? He said I'm his fiancée

What? Elise said and moved closer to her, he told you what? That you are his fiancée?

He did! He gave me the ring! See? She showed her hand to Elise and she pushed her on the floor

How dare you! She yelled angrily and she shrunk back, you dare eye what's mine? Phoenix is mine how could you try to be with him!

He never told me he has someone

And you know now idiot! She's even slow

I'm not slow! Stop coming closer to me I don't like people being too close to me

Oh you got a phobia!

I do! I do!

Let me tell you something if I see you near Phoenix again I'm gonna kill you! He is my fiancé! She moved closer to her and removed her ring forcefully

Why are you taking it off? Phoenix will be mad if I take it off! She tried to collect the ring and she pushed her down again

Don't you dare!

Why are you doing this to me? She said and tears rolled down her face

Don't you take other people's man next time

Elise let's see what she looks like!

She removed her face mask and she covered her face with her hands

Dont look at me! She said and Elise friend moved closer to her and brought down her hand

What the hell! She exclaimed, where did Phoenix found this girl?

What's that? Elise moved closer to her and gasped, where did Phoenix bring This little vixen from? No wonder you have him wrapped around your fingers you are using your face to seduce him right?

I did not seduce him!

She's pretty as fuck! Her friend said and she glared at them, sorry Elise

She holds Gemma hand and slapped her face hard it went sideways, I'm gonna ruin this damn face of yours that you are using to seduce my man! She said and slapped her again more tears streamed down her face

Elise!!! Someone shouted and she let go of her face immediately

Phoenix! Why are you here?

He walked closer to Gemma and pushed Elise away from her

Baby! Are you okay?

Phoenix! She called out and hugged him tightly and cried harder, he clenched his hands into a fist

I'm sorry little bird it's fine I'm here now

Phoenix why are you holding that girl? I'm here I'm your fiancée!

He helped Gemma up from the floor and faced her

When did you turn to my fiancée? Did I propose to you Elise?

But your mother

My mum proposed to you?

Phoenix!!

How dare you touch my girl? What gave you the audacity to touch her?

Your girl? Phoenix

Keep my name off your mouth!!! I'm letting you go right now because of my mum but if this ever happens next time I will deal with you Elise I promise you

Phoenix she's just an outsider! How can you bring her from nowhere and make her your fiancée? Are you going to marry a girl like this? She's seducing you with her beauty she bewitched you

Phoenix looks at her hand and saw her holding Gemma's ring and smirk

You even dare to remove her engagement ring?

You really engaged this girl Phoenix

Ofcourse! He said and snatched the ring from her hand and wore it back for Gemma, he carried her in a bridal style, do you know how much I got this dress that you ruined?

Phoenix!!

Don't try it next time you will regret it Elise! He said and left them behind, Elise fight back her tears and clenched her hand to a fist

So Phoenix really engaged that little girl? Oh my goodness! Her friends said and looked at Elise angry face
