Chapter 111- The Confrontation
I stopped, but before I could ask her any question, a man's voice joined us.
“ Claudia, what are you doing out here in the cold?” he asked and I locked eyes with the man before looking at Claudia and then I shook my head and went back inside.
She was fucking looking for attention so she'll say anything.
I entered inside the building feeling stupid, we had something important to take care of inside.
We were talking about the Emerald eye and I suddenly walked out, Miss Miller must be pissed right now.
“ Miss Miller," I called when I found her and when she turned to me, the look in her eyes was deathly.
“ I'm sorry about,” she raised her hand stopping me,
" Mr Smith,—” fuck if she was calling me Mr Smith again it meant she was beyond pissed.
" If you don't know how to do your job you can as well tell me now so I can know I'm the assistant and the boss all by myself,” she said with fury in her eyes, I could understand her anger.
I should have been with her helping her to solve this problem, ask questions but I was out there following a stupid love that never started before it ended.
And one thing I knew about Miss Miller was that when she was angry, you don't interrupt her when she's speaking so I respectfully kept quiet and let her speak until she was satisfied and kept quiet.
“ I'm sorry Miss Miller, it won't happen again," I apologized sincerely and she narrowed her eyes on me with a glare.
“ I talked to the model and found something,” I said and she folded her arms looking at me, her eyes still not softening and I knew she was still angry but interested in what I have to say,
" She said the same thing Miss Miranda said, she was about to be worn a different jewelry but someone came to the dressing room and gave the stylist the necklace and whispered something to him and that was how the necklace ended up on her neck,” I said,
" That's strange,” she said as her eyes went to Miranda,
" I need to talk to Miranda, I need to find out about how it ended up here, I'm going to tell her the truth if it turns out she has no idea of it, it could be that someone is trying to point fingers at her,” she said,
Or she was actually the culprit trying to look innocent, I thought to myself but didn't say it out loud. I've seen people like that, when the heat gets too much they try to surrender without making themselves look like the criminal and for all we know that's what Miranda might be doing.
Let's find out about that anyway, I'll be able to tell if she's lying or telling the truth.
“ Lets go Hardin," my boss said as she saw that Miranda didn't have anyone she was talking to again and was only taking pictures so she walked to her and took some pictures with her as she whispered something to Miranda and she nodded.
Miss Miller looked at me and signaled me to come as she and Miranda started walking away.
I quietly followed behind them as they talked until they stopped at a door and Miranda opened it.
She walked in first and my boss followed and just when I was about to enter, the door shut on my face.
Did this mean she wanted me to stand outside in case things took a turn? I really don't know, but nevertheless I stayed outside.
Leave Ariana Stone Miller to do something without an explanation.

ARIANA'S POV
“ Uhm, why did you lock him outside?" Miranda asked and I just shrugged,
“ Let's just say no boys allowed," I said and she chuckled,
" So earlier you said there was something you wanted to talk to me about,” she said as she picked a packet of cigarettes and took one then she took a lighter and lit it.
I immediately wanted to leave the room when I thought of my mother but I controlled myself,
“ Yes, there is and it's very important, Miranda, I don't want you to take this the wrong way," I said,
“Well, it depends on what you're going to say," she said,
" I understand but I'd like to know where the necklace the model on the green dress came from,” I said,
“ I can't help but notice how interested you've been with that jewelry, is there something you're not telling me?" she asked as she took in a puff of smoke and blew it out through her nose.
Seriously?
“ My response to your question depends on how you answer my first question," I said,
“ As I said earlier, I was surprised at seeing it too, I didn't plan for it to appear on my show and it looked pretty expensive, I don't remember asking for something like that or any jewelry company asking to collaborate with me for this show,” she said as she made a thinking gesture,
" If it's not too much to ask, can I see the jewelry?” I asked, I can't believe I was asking permission to see jewelry that actually belongs to my family.
“ You need to make me understand what is going on Miss Miller, your sudden interest in that jewelry is eyebrow raising, so care to explain?”
" If you can remember, few months ago, I had a fashion collaboration with Mr Louis and one of my special piece was the Emerald eye, the same jewelry that model had on and the same jewelry that got missing after the show,” I said,
" What?! How's that even possible?” She asked in shock as she dropped her cigarettes quenching the light.
" My reaction when I saw it here tonight,” I said as I brought out my phone and searched for a video of the fashion show and then I handed her my phone,
She looked at me before taking the phone and then her eyes went round in shock,
“ It's the same thing, how did it end up here, I… I didn't take anything,” she said as she handed me back my phone
“ Then can you bring it to me? I need to return it back to my grandpa,” I asked,
" Sure it doesn't belong to me, why won't I…” she stopped what she was about to say as the door burst open and Hardin, who had been standing outside, stepped in with a grave expression.
“ Miss Miller, you need to see this,"
