“Where did you get this watch? I won’t believe it if you tell me that you bought it yourself!” Rachel Hamilton exclaimed. She knew very well that Bella couldn’t afford it.
“Rachel, you’re so clever. Yes, I can’t afford it. So I got that watch from Veronica Parker.” Bella proudly informed Rachel Hamilton.
“What did you say?” Rachel Hamilton sprang to her feet in disbelief to the point of anger.
Rachel Hamilton knew the brand and style because of Nick Cage.
He bought his watches from international brands only and Rachel Hamilton was well aware of it.
Even before Bella brought that watch, she wanted to order a customized watch which she would later on pair with Nick Cage. When that style came out, there were watches also for women. But Nick Cage bought the license of that design for himself only. In other words, unless Nick Cage agrees, it would be an infringement if someone else has a watch of the same style.
Nobody dared to infringe that style. Rachel Hamilton watched with disbelief. She knew already that it was authentic the minute she laid her eyes on it.
Rachel Hamilton was still in awe and couldn’t figure out if she should accept it or not.
“Rachel, you deserve that more than Veronica Parker.” Bella insisted.
Rachel Hamilton suddenly shouted with so much anger.
Bella shook with fear.
Rachel Hamilton seemed to be angry and was overly jealous of Veronica Parker. With tears in her eyes, Rachel Hamilton said, “Veronica Parker, a shameless son of a bitch. She coaxed Nick into buying her the same watch!”
“Don’t get angry Rachel. You can’t compare yourself to her. You deserve this valuable watch, so I gave it to you.” Bella doesn’t know that this watch was paired with Nick Cage’s watch.
Rachel Hamilton snapped, got angry at Bella, and asked, “What, you don’t think I can afford it? Or do you think Nick won’t give it to me? Are you trying to humiliate me?”
Bella hurriedly explained, “I didn’t mean that. I just thought you’d be happy and surprised to see that watch.”
“I don’t want to see you. Get out of here!” Rachel Hamilton shouted and pointed to the door.
Bella got so afraid so she hurriedly went towards the door and left. She apologized over and over again to Rachel Hamilton.
Rachel Hamilton slammed the door.
Bella glanced coldly at the closed door and muttered, “If she was really angry, she could just give it back. No need to humiliate me just like that!”
Rachel Hamilton sat down on the sofa and looked at Veronica Parker’s watch. The sight of it made her angrier and wanted to curse Veronica Parker.
She recalled that after learning that the watch had been bought out, Rachel Hamilton once had dinner with Nick Cage, and she pretended not to know that she liked his watch style and asked if they have the same for women.
She remembered clearly that Nick Cage’s answer was no.
She was not angry because he lied to her. She was furious because he chose Veronica Parker over her.
Rachel Hamilton wore the watch and angrily said, “What Veronica Parker? It’s supposed to be mine!”
Despite that, she was still not satisfied.
She wanted the whole city to know that she has the pair of Nick Cage’s watch. She thought it was very easy to let other people know about it through social media. So Rachel Hamilton took a selfie with her mobile phone. She held a coffee cup in her hand, which also showed the watch and added a caption to the photo.
The caption says: “Having a cup of coffee after finishing my work early.” Rachel Hamilton smirked as she posted it online.
She has always believed that she’s the only woman who deserves Nick Cage.
But when Rachel Hamilton calmed down, she began to feel uneasy and immediately deleted what she just posted.
After ten seconds, she changed her mind just like that.
But Rachel Hamilton was so famous and many people followed her on social media. Despite her immediate action, people were able to take a screenshot of her post and already forwarded it to other people.
“Have you seen the latest post of Rachel Hamilton?” One follower asked.
“Yes. But don’t you find it strange? She posted it, yet later on, she deleted it. Isn’t it just a picture of her with a coffee cup?” Another follower asked.
“No, someone noticed her watch, and they were asking whether it was a limited edition of international famous brands or watches. Some people speculated that Rachel Hamilton was in love, which means poking a confession!” Another person responded.
“Were you able to save the photo? Zoom it in so we can see what kind of watch it is.” Another lady asked.
Several women in the Secretary Department gathered around to look at the pictures, and Kay Tours approached silently behind them. “What are you looking at? What’s going on?”
When they heard his voice, they stood in a straight line and threw their mobile phones on the table.
Kay Tours scanned the phone screen, just as the photo was enlarged.
After taking the phone, Kay Tours inspected the photo. The woman’s watch on her wrist caught his attention. “Where did the picture come from?” He asked himself a question.
He remembered that there was no promotional picture for the women’s watch. “It was a selfie posted by Rachel Hamilton but she deleted it later on. However, it was captured already by her followers and forwarded it to several people.” Josephine Informed Kay Tours.
Kay Tours smiled, gave them back their phones, and threw the papers in their hands. “Get the job done.” He said.
“Yes Sir.” The ladies responded in unison. They breathed a sigh of relief when Kay Tours left.
Veronica Parker and Nick Cage went back to the car after having their dinner.
Veronica Parker sat by the door, looking out of the window at the receding night scene.
She thought that maybe after dinner, Nick Cage would allow her to go home and rest.
She still couldn’t believe that she was able to convince him to eat fried chicken with her at the chicken restaurant.
Veronica Parker was about to ask where they were going when he heard the muffled sound of the phone vibrating. It was Nick Cage’s phone. She shut her mouth, thought to ask again later, and continued to look out of the window.
Nick Cage took out his mobile phone to check it, and his black eyes were suddenly cold when he saw the content and photos sent by Kay Tours.
Veronica Parker saw Nick Cage’s reaction after checking his phone. She knew that it wasn’t anything good and he immediately changed his mood.
Nick Cage quietly placed his phone back in his pocket.
With that, Veronica Parker looked away again.
“Driver, let’s go back to the TV station.” Nick Cage ordered.
“Yes.” The driver heard his instruction.
Veronica Parker asked strangely, “Why are we going back to the TV station?”
“To get your watch.” Nick Cage answered plainly.
Veronica Parker panicked. She froze again and didn’t know what to say. She wondered why all of a sudden Nick Cage thought about the watch again.
“It’s late already. I’ll take care of it. Anyway, I have work again tomorrow.” Veronica Parker looked for an excuse not to go.
“No problem. It’s on the way before I send you home.” Nick Cage said in an unfathomable tone.
Veronica Parker was helpless. She couldn’t breathe. She felt her heart pounding and was caught off guard again by Nick Cage.
She couldn’t think of an excuse or an escape plan to avoid him from figuring out her problem.
She thought too that Nick Cage must have felt something that’s why he insisted.
The Rolls-Royce stopped outside the station.
The big logo of the TV station was dazzling at night. Anybody would notice it even from afar.
Veronica Parker was still speechless. She didn’t know how to tell him that her watch was stolen earlier yet she has no idea who took it.
The door opened and she saw that Nick Cage wanted to get out of the car also. Veronica Parker hurriedly stopped him and grabbed his arm and said, “Please stay here.”
He stared at her and wondered why she didn’t want him to accompany her.
She saw the authoritative reaction on Nick Cage’s face, so she released her hand from his arm and said, “There are still people inside the station. They shouldn’t see us together. Why don’t you just stay here and wait for me to come back?”
