The Billionaire’s Pretty Thief

Becky in her angry countenance quickly separated the both of them.

“How dare you do this in front of me, Simon, don’t you have any regard for me?”, she asked panting in anger like someone about to commit murder.

Simon looked at Becky and responded,

” Me hugging our old-time classmate has nothing to do with me disregarding you Becky”.

Crystal looked at Becky and with a smile she said,

“You have not changed one but Becky, you are still that very impulsive, not very smart and proud lady I used to know back in the day”, Crystal’s words came out like a sharp sword to Becky who wanted to react to a scene.

Georgia greeted Simon and wished him well with Becky as her character was so embarrassing.

Crystal and Georgia walked away from them and Simon told Becky to get into the car with a furious tone.

” I wonder why that girl hates you so much over a man that does not interest you for a start”, Georgia mumbled to her friend as they pushed the door of the shop making their way into its air-conditioned walls and forgetting about the scorching sun and the heat outside.

Crystal turned to her friend and smiled saying,

“Forget about Becky, she will never understand that Simon can never be hers with that desperate attitude that she carries about in the name of loving him so dearly”, she explained to her friend as they reached the receptionist’s desk to get their handbags checked before they could proceed into the shelves of the shop to start going through the articles in there to get what they like.

Simon and Becky quarreled all through their journey back home and Simon who was fed up with Becky’s insecurities told her that it was over between them and that he needed a break.

Becky tried to stop him from leaving her but her insecurities and nagging had made the little affection that he had developed over the years die down.

Crystal and Georgia were walking through the shelves and there were so many beautiful dresses that they did not know which to take as the confusion was too much.

” Let’s take this one, I love the open back”, Georgia said taking out a blouse from the hanger.

Crystal looking at it responded,

“I would rather take this one as it gives an extraordinary brightness to my skin”, she told her friend and they both giggled at each other for behaving like teenagers who could not decide on what to wear.

Georgia coming back on what had happened outside a while ago.

Crustal gave a long stare at her friend as she could already tell what she had in mind.

” Georgia I know that you have something in your mind to ask so spill”, she told her friend laughing.

Georgia knowing that her friend had caught her already, pretended to be too serious in looking for clothes.

“Georgia, I am still waiting for the gossip you have in your chest so talk now or forever dies with it”, Crystal said in a loud voice that her friend could not hold back the laughter that had formed in her throat that she gave up with one evil laughter.

” You are very wicked Crystal, you were aware that once you said this line I was going to crack up”, Georgia said trying to find her breath back as she had laughed so much.

Crystal was happy that she could make her friend laugh this much as she deserved it after all for standing by her all these days.

Georgia after laughing for some minutes, narrated the expression on Becky’s face when Simon hugged Crystal warmly.

“I bet that guy still has a crush on you it is written all over him and he can not dare to deny it”, Georgia spoke turning to the other shelf as she spotted a lemon green mini skirt that was perfect for her red blended with black boots at home.

Crystal who had noticed that Simon had not gotten over her, smiled as she got lost in her thoughts.

Georgia who had noticed her silence turned to look at her and reading that she was smiling, she asked with a teasing look,

” Thinking about him yeah?”.

“No I am not”, Crystal responded in a defensive manner strolling as fast as a rat in between the shelves.

Georgia who had known her friend for a long time now spoke softly at her back,

” We all thought that you and Simon were going to end up as sweethearts even before our graduation but unfortunately that was only a mere thought”, Georgia blab her tongue in wonder as to what her friend was going to reply.

Crystal lowered her head as she thought of her old school days with Simon as the most handsome guy in school and her as the most beautiful lady.

Her classmates always called her SHE BEAUTY as she was vastly gorgeous with curves that even teachers wished to have.

“You both would have made a good couple as you were the only person who dared to put him in his rightful place”, Georgia’s narration reminded Crystal of the disgusting quarrel she had at the canteen with Simon.

Simon was one proud and arrogant student who thought that everything had to be done his way as he had a group in school who terrorized students on campus.

He felt that he had control over everyone as his father was the minister of national security.

He always walked with his shoulder so high and a diminishing look till he stumbled on Crystal one day at the Canteen.

She was not a new student but her calmness and innocence made her almost not recognizable except for older students who had been schooling there with her.

Simon had bumped into Crystal and her tray of food landed on the ground he could not say sorry but instead pushed her head, telling her to look where she was going next time.

When Crystal heard what he had said, she asked him if he could at least have the decency to apologize as he was the person who was not watchful over where he was going.

Simon taking it personally walked closer to Crystal and spoke to her face asking if she knew who he was turning back to his friends who were hyping him.

The whole canteen had become silent as everyone felt scared for Crystal because Simon, was a notorious person and no one could do anything to him as his father always intervened fully.

Crystal spat on his face asking him to be near her one more time and he would regret what she would do to him.

Simon and his friends were shocked to the core after the reaction that Crystal put up.

Crystal left her tray of food on the ground and walked away from him. She had not yet made two steps when she felt a strong force pulling her from behind as get hand was held behind tightly.

Simon had to defend his name and his honor by making her respect him as the others did.

Crystal who could not digest the fact that he had held her hand, turned to face him and with a heavy slap, she spanked off his face so hard that he did a rotation before balancing well on his feet.

She looked at him and gave him the warning of his life that no one had ever tried to before.

Simon who could not bear the embarrassment got up and came to Crystal to hit her and she doubled the slap.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her late father had registered her in a Kungfu center for its steps to be instilled in her.

After doing that, she walked out of the canteen to her class. Simon stood there like a dog that had been rejected by its owner.

He could not believe what had just happened as everyone made a mockery of him so much that he left the school that day before its actual time.

” He got what he deserved as he always claimed to be a tyrant in school”, a student murmured from under her desk.

Even the teachers were scared of correcting him whenever he did something wrong as they were scared that his parents were going to be informed about it and would withdraw their assistance from their school not knowing that, the father had nothing to do with his bad behavior.

His father did not know what his son often did in school but his mother was and she was the person pampering his behavior which made him so insolent towards his classmates and even his superior.

This encounter he had with Crystal was the iron that beaches the camel’s back as his true identity is finally revealed to his father when he calls for a P. T. A. meeting since his mother was out of the country at the time for medical reasons.

Simon, could not believe his ears and eyes when he was told that despite what had happened between Crystal and himself, she still went ahead to file a complaint and demanded that her father and the parent Simon be sent to school immediately.

His father’s shock was immense and Uncle Max arrived furious at what Crystal had narrated over the phone.

“What are you telling me, that my son is a tyrant here in school?”, Crystal could vividly remember the reaction Simon’s father had put up in the office that day.

Uncle Max had come as my guardian as he was the only parent she had. He supported his niece and threatened to lock up Simon if he ever tried to harass her again in that school.

The teachers realizing that his father was not aware of anything he was doing wrong as his mother was always the person to answer to the convocations that were being given to him, decided to narrate got chaos in the school and among the students in the institute.

He was tongue-tight probably because he did not expect a day like that to come and lowering his head he could not utter a word.
