Hilda was indeed taken back by the price. ‘Five thousand and fifty five dollars!‘ that was just too much for just a bag. She just quit her job and had already wasted enough money after she came back from overseas.
How is she going to fork out five thousand and fifty five dollars! She stared at Gloria not knowing how to refute. At this time, her phone rang as she received a notification.
She thought it was Naima who was impatient but to her surprise, it was a message from Nathan which stated. ” Sorry Pumpkin. I forgot to debit your account. Now it is done. You can use it for anything you may need. I promise to give you a card later tonight. Kisses.”
Hilda was amazed as she smiled.
When Gloria saw the smile on her face she became furiously. “How dare you smile after ruining my
bag?”
Hilda snorted. “What? I can’t smile anymore just because your bag is ruined? Tell me your account details let me send the money to you.” Although Hilda didn’t want to use the money Nathan had sent, that was the only way she could get rid of this witch in front of her.
Gloria really didn’t need that money though but she didn’t know why she felt great hatred for the woman in front of her. She felt like she was a timing bomb to her. Her intuition told her this woman would be her nemesis. “Hah XXXXXXXXXXXX”
Hilda then transferred the money to Gloria. Gloria stared at her one last time before she stumped off. Hilda looked at her who was mad at her without any reason and sighed, “What kind of lady is this? She carries herself like a socialite but her attitude is worse.‘
She also then walked inside to meet Naima. She hurriedly walked inside.
At this time Naima who was waiting for her suddenly exclaimed. “Thank God! Thank God! She is finally here.”
“Hahaha.” Hilda laughed at Naima’s reaction. She then went over and hugged her. “I miss you so much babes.”
“I miss you too Hilda. See how you have grown a little bit fatter. Give me a three sixty turn.” Naima giggled.
“Sure babes.” After which they sat down.
Perking up at a thought that Naima then only remembered, she asked rather angrily. “What happened with Daniel?”
Hilda cast a scornful glance at Naima after hearing Daniel’shame, “Let’s not talk about it. I have a rather breath taking surprise for you. Guess.”
“You know I’m not good at guessing. Just tell me.” Naima said while giggling.
At that time a waiter came for their order so Hilda just smirked without saying anything. After ordering their food and drink, Naima asked her rather impatiently. “Babe, what is it?”
When she heard what Hilda said, her eyes widened like watermelons. “What the hell?”
If Hilda hadn’t shown her the picture she had saved on her phone, she wouldn’t have believed what Hilda just said. However after that, she was ready to believe that even birds could swim. 1
What Hilda just told her was that, “I am married to Nathan Clemon but I think it was a little bit of rush“.
When she asked which Nathan Clemon, that was when Hilda showed her a photo she took of their wedding certificate.

“Who in their right minds would not want to be with Nathan Clemon?” Naima asked while shocked by the news.
“You don’t understand. We didn’t get married because of love. It’s nothing like that. I don’t love him and he doesn’t love me either. You know I still have feelings for Daniel. But he is trying his best to make us work.”
Naima nearly jumped from her seat after hearing that. Her hands were shaking with excitement. It took her a while for her to calm down and she said. “Hilda are you really that old fashioned? Times have changed! Who cares about love now? Can love keep you alive? Although you don’t love each other, Nathan is rich, handsome, powerful and he is even trying his best to make the marriage work. What else do you want? Or you mean your love for Daniel? Let me tell you this… I don’t think Daniel ever deserved you. Hurry up and get him out of your heart for Mr. Clemon.”
Hilda was speechless after hearing Naima.
“Think it over Hilda. To be honest, I think a man like Nathan is the right one for you. You know, considering your personality, you guys make the perfect couple.”
Hilda couldn’t stand Naima anymore as she started eating her food. However, Naima didn’t stop talking. Hilda then said. “Don’t worry. Since Nathan is trying to make this work, I won’t hold back.”
Instantly, Naima became quiet. She stopped talking
Hilda shook her head in disappointment but she knew her friend wanted the best for her. Although she didn’t love Nathan, she found herself thinking about him mostly and smile at anything related to him..
Although Nathan was known to be ruthless, whenever he is with her she gets to know a way different side of him. Who wouldn’t be cold to this outside world? Of course after what happened to her this past few months after she came back from overseas she was sure to relate.
It is a cold world.
After they were done eating, They then decided to go for shopping since it was still early. They headed to a fashion shop with the name Rhema’s Coutre. The shop was known for it’s famous designs and exquisite styles when it came to clothes.
Hilda and Naima were frolicking inside the shop as they held each other’s hand. “Look! Look!” Hilda pointed at a dress she had seen in front of them.
They then walked in front to check out the dress. A sales lady saw how Hilda and Naima were staring at the dress, so she approached them with a friendly smile and said. “Misses, that dress is one of the best sellers! And there is only one left. So if you like it, then I suggest you grab this last one.”
“No way!” Hilda uttered in disbelief. “Only one left?”
She checked the price tag again. It costs $150,000. Upon seeing the price, she started having second thoughts. Indeed this is the place for the rich. Just one dress and it costs this much?
The dress was a sleeveless top with a vaguely of a gypsy cut all done in syrupy browns and shades of violet flecked with white that seemed to undulate of their own volition. The lower consisted of ruffled tiers of burnt orange satin that ended in a ragged hem just above the ankle, as if the seamstress had suddenly been called away before completing her task. A spidery black lace bodice consummated the ensemble making it elegant.
Standing beside her, Naima noticed the look in Hilda’s eyes as she stared at the dress. “Hey, Hilda, why are you hesitating? You ride a car worth billions now and you are married to the richest man in the country. Buying this dress wouldn’t hurt you. If you want it, just but it.”
Hearing what Nalina said, Hilda sighed. “The car isn’t mine you know that.” No matter how rich Nathan was, has nothing to with Hilda at all. The car she drives now was all thanks to Nathan. There was nothing she could

At the same moment, the people in the shop all turned their heads to stare at the entrance. This struck odd Hilda. ‘What is going on? Why is everyone looking towards the entrance? What are they all looking at?”
Doing the same as the others, Hilda turned her head towards the direction of the entrance where everyone else had their eyes fixed and what she saw startled her.
