Chapter 14: You are not even that important

"Master Sterling." A man in his mid forties welcomed him as he sat on the vacant chair.

"what brings you here sir?" He asked shortly after they both sat down.

"I have work for you." He says as he placed a picture in front of him.

"who is she and what is my work with her?" The man asked curiously.

"just get some information about her and I need it before the week runs out." Ethan ordered tapping the table.

"yes boss!"

.......

"so how was work today?" David asked his sister during dinner.

"not quite stressful." She replied as she offered him some porridge.

"hope the twins weren't too tired?" He asked scooping a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.

"they weren't tired instead they were happy to have new friends." Diana smiled as she ate her dinner.

"I can't believe that you're going to be the future daughter-in-law of the Sterling family." One of her friends giggled.

"yes and girls I need to pick a dress to impress Ethan". she giggled as she roamed her hands through the clothes on the rack when her eyes caught a dress, she was about to grab it when a hand pulled it.

"excuse me I picked that before you". Theresa said as she glanced at her friends to come over.

"but I took it first." The woman protested as she held the dress tightly not letting it go.

"but I took it first". Theresa's friends mimicked her as they laughed loudly.

"give her the cloth now, hope you know whom you are speaking to?". One of her friend's smirked.

"she's the future daughter-in-law of the Sterling family." Her friends chorused as Theresa smiled proudly but the lady was not interested instead she took the dress to the register and asked it to be packed neatly.

"urgh...I'm so pissed, I was supposed to wear the dress for the Sterling family's weekend out." She complained as she hissed and walked away from her friends.

"Theresa wait we can find you another dress that is more beautiful than the previous one". Her friends tried to persuade her but she didn't listen.

"I don't want any other dress!" She protested.

"I must have that dress or else..."

"or else what?". The lady she met at the rack earlier asked as she grins.

"who the hell at you to talk back at me". Theresa yelled at her.

"you want to know who I am?". She asked smiling as she faced the young girl behind her caring shopping bags.

"you aren't even that important". Theresa bragged.

"Enough!" The young lady behind the woman said as those who were shopping on hearing the noise stopped what they were doing and went to see the commotion.

"and who are you?" Theresa asked sharply, eyeing at her.

"I'm Mistress Sterling personal assistant." The young woman replied.

"what!" Theresa exclaimed as she stared at the two women in front of her and back at her friends.
