Chapter 15
It just happened that they’d been waiting for ages at The Aerie, hoping to catch a glimpse of the clusive FireWing, but to no avail. They planned to swing by the Wright family for lunch, so Brian had instructed him to pick up a couple of boxes of pastries from here.
“Mr. Howard, would you like…”
Brian’s gaze settled on Natalie, and he fell silent in the car.
Natalie’s paper bag had been knocked from her hands, and as she looked up, her eyes flicked toward Gracia, who had pretended to be engrossed in her phone, feigning ignorance.
“Pick it up.” Natalie said in a low voice, devoid of emotion.
Instead, Gracia stepped on the pizza, kicking it aside.
“I said pick it up, not step on it.” Natalie continued, her voice still low.
“Are you talking to me?” Gracia acted surprised, pointing at herself and asking softly.
“I’m talking to a dog.” Natalie replied coldly.
“You…” Gracia was stunned, and then anger flared within her.
“Only a dog would get upset by that.” Natalie said, the corners of her mouth curling into a slight smirk.
“Natalie, don’t push it!” Gracia snapped back, and her brows knitted in frustration.
Seeing the altercation, the shop assistant quickly tried to mediate. “Don’t worry about it. It was our mistake for not handing it to the customer properly. Let me repack it for you!!
Natalie wasn’t interested in acknowledging Gracia’s pettiness and nodded to the assistant. “Thanks.”
But Gracia, who got irked by Natalie’s indifference, insisted. “I’d like to see who dares to repack it for her!”
The assistant stood by, not daring to move.
“What kind of skill is that by picking on a shop assistant?” Natalie turned to Gracia. “If they don’t want to repack it, that’s fine. You can pick up the pizza. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise, what?” Gracia raised her eyebrows slightly, challenging Natalie.
