“I don't like this dress Bella , it makes me look big” Leah frowned, running her hands through her hair.
Ever since the night she was humiliated, her self confidence went down the drain , because losing almost everything in one night wasn't easy even for a diva like her.
Before she was always known as the top socialite of the city, the women always crowded around her in hopes of currying favour.
Any dress, bag , shoe or food she eats always becomes the most trending thing among the socialites, now she doesn't even have the confidence to dress for a brunch with a friend .
Leah snapped back into reality when Isabella roughly shook her “Leah I hope you're not daydreaming again”
“No I wasn't daydreaming,I was just thinking about how to make this dress work” Leah lied.
“Yeah sure and pigs can fly” Isabella rolled her eyes at her.
Leah chuckled in return “Common stop being so sarcastic, fine i was daydreaming just for a while”.
Isabella sat Leah down and started curling her hair “ My dear you look amazing, trust me and stop doubting yourself”.
“Okay I will trust you on this one. '' Leah hugged her shoulders and started rocking herself. It was a way of affirming herself and boosting her confidence. She initiated it after the incident happened .
Isabella just kept quiet and stared at her letting her do her thing, Isabella's eyes softened as she felt guilty for not being there for her when it all happened.
Because that was when she was at the peak of her modelling career ,so she was always abroad and travelling.
She only found out when she got back and saw how broken Leah was, and she is still thankful it wasn't too late or she won't be able to forgive herself.
After she was done with Leah's hair , Isabella spoke again “I promise you today will be a fun experience Leah , I even made a reservation at our favourite french restaurant .
La Rougé was a very exquisite restaurant that was rated five Michelin stars, two months after it was opened.
Getting a reservation there was hard , even celebrities had to be on the waiting list to reserve a table.
But that wasn't the case for Isabella as her family was one of the shareholders of the restaurant, she not only had access to the restaurant at all times.
She could also reserve one of the three best seats at the restaurant.
“Our favourite? Its your favourite ,I was always dragged their against my wish ” Leah teased.
“I don't what you're talking about” Isabella giggled , she avoided eye contact with Leah after being caught red handed.
Leah gave her mother a scolding her daughter look.
“Ok fine you caught me , I just love their dishes, and you can't blame me for being addicted to it , you should blame them for making such delicious food , especially their desserts” Isabella tried to defend herself .
Leah smiled and shook her head at her.
“Let's not dwell so much on it, I know you are only doing this because you don't want to go but you have to,so let's go. The driver is waiting for us downstairs.
They both left the room , “You know some days I feel you just want me to roast” Leah grumbled when she realised Isabella had raised all the curtains in her living room.
“No Leah dear , you need to stop living like a vampire, you need more sunlight in your life” Isabella teased her as they approached the elevator.
The elevator door opened to reveal a female elevator hostess who smiled on seeing them “To the ground floor Miss Leah?”.
“Yes the ground floor please”Leah replied, offering a polite smile .
“Right away Ma'am” the hostess replied and went on to input the right keys , trying to ignore the aura coming from the two powerful women , standing with her.
She has always admired Leah and she would always defend her outside when the others are talking about her past and that humiliating night .
Because she was very polite and different from what others say she always felt she was too kind to do all those horrible things they accused her of.
When the elevator signalled that they had gotten to the lobby, she opened the door for them, and Isabella immediately dragged Leah out of the elevator .
But Leah made sure to turn back to the hostess and say “Thank you”. Little did she know that small gesture was one of the things that made the hostess day .
As Leah and Isabella stepped into the lobby , there were gasps and whispers everywhere, as everyone knew Isabella as a supermodel.
The way she walked showed no less than that , her hips swayed with every step she took , making her look seductive without even trying to.
Leah smiled when she saw their reactions towards Isabella, or at least she thought it was only towards Leah.
Little did she know they were also starring and complimenting her because unlike Isabella’s pure and docile aura .
She gave off a strong and dominating aura , that of a woman who was independent in her own way and the type men feared to talk to because they felt they weren't on the same level.
As Isabella dragged Leah out to the car she couldn't help but ask “What's the hurry Isabella, our table is not running away, but I'm beginning to find this whole thing suspicious” she raised an eyebrow at her .
“Oh Leah dear what's suspicious about your best friend taking you out for brunch, and I'm only rushing because I'm extremely hungry ,
You know how much I love food, especially when it's at my favourite French restaurant, so get in the car before I eat you instead” she said while giggling .
They both got in the car and drove off , the drive to the restaurant took just about thirty minutes.
On getting to the restaurant they both elegantly climbed out of the car , one seductive leg at a time , both attracting the attention of the onlookers.
Isabella looked at Leah and she couldn't help but smile whilst thinking of her reaction when she saw what she had planned for her “this is going to be one interesting afternoon” she thought to herself.
