Chapter 12
Christy’s POV
From her reaction, I figured that she must know Kendrick.
“Who are you?” She asked me again, this time, she stared at me like she wanted to rip me apart.
Could she and Kendrick have a relationship?
“Are you mute? Can’t you hear me” she suddenly lunged at me but the manager quickly held her back.
“I don’t know who you think you are but you better watch it, bcos I don’t have a very good temper” I warned her with a serious tone.
How dare she try to put her hands on me.
“You bitch! You better stay away from Kendrick” she yelled while struggling to free herself.
“And why would I do that?” I asked her with a raised brow.
From what I know, Kendrick doesn’t have a girlfriend and has never dated before, then who is this diva?
“You better stay away from him for your own good. He is not someone that a lowly person like you should hover around” she said while eyeing me with a disgusted expression.
“I don’t know who you are and how you know my boyfriend but…..”
“Boyfriend?!” She shrieked with a shocked expression.
Okay, I didn’t expect her to react so strongly.
Kendrick never mentioned his family and from her reaction, she is definitely not a relative.
She acts more like a jealous lover than a sister.
“Why don’t you come up with another lie bitch, everyone knows that Kendrick doesn’t date or associate with women” she said with a mocking gaze but I wasn’t in the mood to reply to her anymore.
“Can we get started? I want her to attend to me” I said to the manager while pointing at Camilla, the beautician that was polite to me when I came in.
“Sure, Camila go and attend to our VIP” the manager instructed her with a stern expression.
“Hey, I am not done with you yet!” Celeste or whatever her name was, yelled at me as I followed Camila upstairs.
“You bitch!” She resorted to using insults to get my attention but I wasn’t going to give her that satisfaction.
What bad luck to meet such a person on my first day out of the hospital.
“I am very sorry about what just happened ma” Camila suddenly apologized, her voice pulling me out of my thoughts.
” Just call me Christy” I said to her with a smile and she smiled back.
She led me into a room that was filled with different machines and beauty products. I just took a quick glance at it before going back to thinking about what just happened.
Maybe I can get some information from her. I thought while staring at Camila.
“Is she a regular here?” I asked her as she directed me to the sofa to sit.
“Miss Celeste?” She asked me and I nodded in response.
She kept picking out the products that she wanted to use from the shelves after getting my response.
“She is the Boss’s younger sister’s best friend, so she always comes to our salon anytime she is in town.
She is the top socialite in the capital, her family is extremely wealthy and there are rumors that her family and the boss’s family were discussing their marriage” she said with a gossipy expression.
I smiled as she had given me more information than I hoped for.
“Let’s forget about her for now and focus on getting me ready as I have an important trip tomorrow” I said to her with a smile.
“Okay, do you have anything in mind that you want to do?” She asked me while arranging the products in a basket.
“I want to dye and cut my hair” I said after staring at myself in the mirror.
“You have such healthy hair, why would you want to cut it?” She asked with an astonished expression.
“i just want something different” I said and she nodded.
“For the dyeing, do you have a specific color that you want to use?” She asked while caressing my long wavy hair.
“I want a very dark red color,” I said after some thought.
“Okay, I think the color will really complement your skin tone,” she said with a flattering smile.
“Thank you” I responded while staring at the mirror.
I watched as she reduced the length of my hair with scissors and I smiled.
I never liked long hair but I was forced to keep it because Benjamin said so. He felt I would attract more customers with long hair.
But looking at the shoulder length hair after the cut, I was truly satisfied.
It felt so good to be able to make my own choices without anyone interfering
The rest of the spa section went smoothly and by the time we were done, I stared at the mirror and couldn’t believe my eyes.
She used the perfect shade of red and parted my hair into short deep waves.It gave me a totally different aura.
“Thank you so much Cam” I said as she escorted me downstairs.
I looked around and couldn’t find that crazy woman.
I breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a few words with the manager before exiting the beauty salon.
“Hey, you thought I would just let you go after you spoke to me without respect?” Celeste’s angry voice came from the side of the building.
Oh fuck…..not this bitch again!
I yelled in my head before turning to face her direction.
I saw her staring at me with a smirk and two tall well built men stood behind her who are probably her bodyguards.
“I heard that you are the top socialite in the capital, is bullying part of the criteria to be a top socialite now?” I asked her and the smirk on her face immediately vanished.
“I have a strong urge to teach you some manners as the top socialite,” she said before gesturing to her bodyguards.
“Get her in the car” she ordered them and they immediately walked towards me with menacing expressions.
Before I could react, I heard the sound of a car speeding towards us.
It came to a halt in front of us and the door immediately opened.
Kendrick stepped out, his jaw was tight and his lips pressed into a thin line as he stared at my wrist that was being held by one of the Bodyguards.
“Break his hand” he said to Evans through gritted teeth.
