Chapter 94: WINE GLASS
"You cheated on me Adrain, doesn’t that ring a bell?" Erika questioned him. "You never loved me because for some reason I disgusted you, so why are you making it sound like I was the unfaithful one?"
Tears accumulated at the inner sides of her eyes, her emotions attacking her but she managed to hold herself back so as to not breakdown in front of him.
Adrain was at loss for words, he had not come to make her any angrier than she already was.
"If you have really come here to try to curry favour then I would advice you to just forget about it. I don’t ever want to get involved with you or your family", she added before looking away.
Adrain wasn’t sure if he should continue with his pursuit or not but after a while, he got up and left. He was suddenly regretting letting her go and the fact that she had completely moved on left an empty space in his heart.
Many people swamped around Erika even more as they continued to try to get close to her but she’d set a barrier, by replying only with a single word.
After some time and the event still haven’t started yet, Erika excused herself to go to the restroom and that was where she found Felicia who was retouching her make up. Erika smirked slightly at her before she asked,
"Seems that you’ve caught a fish tonight huh?"
Felicia paused her hand that was holding the lip stick she was applying. She frowned at Erika’s words before looking at her.
"What are you talking about?" She asked Erika.
"Oh well, I was just saying. Since your in laws are planning on making me take your place as the daughter in law of the Harts, you must be finding a better substitute for yourself before that happens", Erika explained.
"What nonsense!" Felicia banged the sink angrily. "No matter what, you can’t replace me", she stated.
"Who says I want to replace you? Returning to that house is like an insult to my reputation and even to my husband’s and I don’t want that", Said Erika. "You suit them better".
"What is that suppose to mean?!" Felicia demanded.
A woman who was dressed in a fancy attire flinched in fear due to the yelling. She quietly turned back and exited from there.
"Relax, will you? You seem to get angry quite easily" Erika said.
Felicia’s blood boiled as she glared at Erika but the latter only smirked at her. Felicia angrily grabbed her purse and dashed out of the restroom, angrily.
Erika finished releasing herself and retouched her make up as well. The event made her feel quite lonely. If Ethan had been here with her then these trouble makers wouldn’t even dare to look in her direction.
She brought out her phone to call her "husband". At the first ring, he immediately picked up.
’Hey! Are you okay? Do you need me to be there? I’m okay now’, he said from other the phone but unfortunately for him, as soon as those words came out, he coughed a few times.
"Shouldn’t I be the one asking you those questions?" Erika asked him. "It seems you are not getting any better. I will rush back now", she said and grabbed her purse with the intention to exit the restroom but Ethan quickly stopped her.
"Wait! Stay there until you win the award at least. It wouldn’t be good if the CEO of Walters corporations suddenly vanished after arriving and also, who would collect the trophy when you win?" He tried to convince her.
Erika thought about it for a moment and then agreed to stay until the the category is called.
"Alright, I will stay. But you might hear a report about me breaking someone’s nose later if they keep disturbing me", her tone was laced with annoyance.
"If you have to break someone nose, then do it. I will clear the rumors for you", Ethan replied from the other side.
’He knows am joking right?’ Erika thought to herself.
"Alright then, I should be going now. Make sure to take your prescriptions before I return", she ordered.
"Yes boss!" Ethan replied which made Erika chuckle lightly. They both hung up the call and Erika took a deep breath before exhaling. "Time to go face those mad people again", she mumbled to herself.
Downstairs, Felicia was fuming, she had indirectly been called a slut by Erika and that word didn’t sit well with her. When she saw Erika returning to her seat, looking so beautiful, her blood boiled. She glanced at the glass of red wine she was holding before she smirked. "Let me see if you won’t be embarrassed after this".
Felicia excused herself from the people who didn’t even bother if she was gone or not and strode towards Erika who was now talking with a woman. Erika glanced at Felicia before putting her focus back on the woman.
"I think we met at Mr Gustavo’s party, isn’t that right", the woman asked and Erika nodded in response.
"We did".
All of a sudden, Felicia pretended to have slipped and poured her wine in Erika’s direction but unfortunately for her, Erika had already seen through her and she moved away, dodging the wine and it landed on the woman Erika was speaking with.
"What the....!" The woman nearly cursed and everyone present gasped in shock. "You bitch!" Mrs Wilson yelled at Felicia who was shocked by the sudden change of event.
Mrs Wilson was wearing a white dress and the red wine gave it a whole new look.
"I-I’m so s-sorry b-but it was supposed to pour on her", Felicia pointed at Erika and everyone gasped again. She instantly clamped her mouth shut when she realized she had just exposed herself.
Everyone glared at her and murmurs spread. Mrs Wilson’s husband arrived at the scene and saw her white dress looking red instead.
"What happened here?" He demanded while glaring at Felicia who was still holding the wine glass.
