EP. 3

"Aster?" Steven was surprised.

"Hi Steve" she greeted him with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I work here as an intern, what brings you here?" she looked at his side and noticed a lady dressed in a s€xy dress. To put it more bluntly it was vulgar. The bold color of her lipstick, dark eyeliner and thick make up made her look like an absolute b^tch.

"Who is she" she asked casually with a friendly smile.

"I am Diva, I am soon to be his wife" she answered before Steve could open his mouth.

Steven was about to say something but Aster stopped him.

She understood what exactly was going on.

She was played. Afterall her friends warned her. The whole city knows he was the no.1 playboy.

Just a week before one of her close friends complained that she saw him in nightclub with a woman in his arms.

What a fool she was to trust him blindly.

She took a few seconds to recover.

"oh" that is all she replied. But after a few more seconds she gave a bitter smile then added, "You both are a perfect pair, you are a match made in heaven" she complimented. Diva gave a satisfied look. Of course a match made in heaven, a disgusting play boy and a sl^tty b^tch.

She then turned her gaze to the manager.

"Manager Shan about your worried look, what is troubling you".

"Mr. Stevens wants to buy The Blood Lily." He answered with a deep sigh.

Oh so that was the problem Aster gave a little smile before continuing, "We are terribly sorry but The Blood Lily is only for display, it is not for sale hope you understand Mr. Stevens".

She stood straight and confident with a dominating aura sorounding her. She will not let others step on her, she will stand up for herself, she will not be an easy target.

Diva put more effort into her acting this time, "Honey, I really want this peice, as your soon to be wife can't I ask for a little gift".

"Manager Shan I want this peice, whatever the cost"

Stubborn eh? Well can't help, Aster took it as a challenge after all her feelings were toyed.

"Please don't trouble us Mr. Stevens, Understand the situation and be comsiderate"

Diva snapped back, "Who are you to decide whether the peice can be sold or not, I want to speak with your director".

Manager shan was about to say something when Aster intervened.

She shook her head signaling him to be calm and silent, Letting him know that she will be handling it in her way.

"Miss Diva please restrain yourself from causing any trouble here. After all we are but a small business".

Diva was furious, "that's what exactly I am pointing at, you are but a small business how dare you go against the Stevens".

"Please don't be unreasonable, Being a part of Stevens family the richest family in the city, aren't you ashamed to take advantage on small businesses like ours?"

Aster did not step down, her reply was bold enough to make them stop for a few moments.

Diva recovered in a couple of seconds.

How can a lowly intern raise her voice in front of her, only daughter of Roberts. She needs to show that lowly creature her place. This is an insult, and this not gonna peacefully. These thoughts were running through her mind.

Her face darkened, her kind act in public was about to be destroyed.

Nah, not so soon.

She looked up at her soon to be husband, "Steve, I want to leave this be. She's just an intern let's just leave this to her boss to teach her some manners and discipline her on how to receive VIPs and how to deal with them. After all she is just an intern how could she possibly know what's best for the company. I don't have the mood to shop anymore, so let's go back. "

She acted all pity, sad, disappointed and kind.

And that idiot totally fell for it.

" Diva... "

He immediately called his assistant and left from there to have a private talk.

After coming back he gave a smile to her and turned towards Aster.

" Is this how you treat your customers" he said to the manager.

'Oh Aster, you can't talk human language to dogs. Hmmm~ I'm hungry let's deal with this quick and go party.' Aster was no new to these street level dramas.
