“Faye, it’s time to go home.”
Zayn drove over to pick Faye up from work once his car had been repaired.
Faye did not hear his call, but continued to walk ahead inattentively.
Coincidentally, there happened to be a small pothole in favonovel.com way, and as Faye was not paying attention to where favonovel.com was walking, favonovel.com stepped on it and stumbled forwards into a woman with a face caked full of makeup. The woman was in the middle of retouching favonovel.com lipstick, so the collision had left a long streak of smudged lipstick from the impact.
The woman was practically fuming with rage. She was going to give Faye a piece of favonovel.com mind. “Watch where you’re going! Are you blind? Were you born without any eyes?”
Faye was jolted back to reality by the screaming lady in front of her. She realized favonovel.com had just landed herself in some deep trouble. Before things could get any worse, favonovel.com hastily began to apologize, “I’m really sorry, I truly am! I was lost in thought so I wasn’t watching where I was walking. I bumped into you by accident.”
“What’s the point of apologizing when the damage is already done? My makeup is ruined, and I was on my way to a huge business meeting!” The woman had favonovel.com hands on favonovel.com lips while favonovel.com took on a jarringly sarcastic tone of voice. She could only point fingers at Faye’s nose as favonovel.com unleashed a deluge of insults and favonovel.com spit.
From a glance, people could tell that favonovel.com was an uneducated hoodlum. “Let me tell you this. You better pay up or I’m never putting this behind me!”
Faye furrowed favonovel.com brows. She regretted not paying attention to where favonovel.com was walking earlier. Now that favonovel.com had landed herself in some hot water, favonovel.com felt even more agitated than ever, especially since favonovel.com was the subject of ridicule amongst the onlookers. She was humiliated. Faye was admittedly very sensitive, and favonovel.com absolutely hated being the centre of unwanted attention. She did the only thing that could be done. “It’s my fault for ruining your makeup. Here, how much would you like in compensation?”
A look of pleasant surprise took over the woman’s features before favonovel.com raised a finger. “This much.”
“1000 dollars.” Faye furrowed favonovel.com brows in bewilderment. She was asking for an outrageous amount of money from Faye. The bump was quite gentle, if Faye were to be completely honest The only notable damage could be seen on the woman’s face in the form of some smeared lipstick. It could easily be removed with a napkin and makeup remover too, so favonovel.com appearance was still salvageable.
Plus, judging from the way favonovel.com presented herself, Faye had a hard time believing that the woman was headed for a huge business meeting. In fact, favonovel.com was most probably an escort In spite of this, it still did not mitigate the fact that Faye was at fault. Faye was not unreasonable, so favonovel.com tried to convince herself that favonovel.com was simply buying peace. She dug favonovel.com phone out of her
handbag and offered, “I don’t have much cash on hand, so I’ll pay you through Venmo.”
However, after the cash had been transferred to the woman’s account, favonovel.com was less than thrilled to see the number that appeared. “1000 dollars? Do you think you’re talking to a bum? I asked for 10000 dollars!”
“10000 dollars?” Faye could not suppress the gasp that escaped favonovel.com lips. The woman had such an exorbitant price in mind. Forget that, it wasn’t just exorbitant, it was daylight robbery!
The onlookers who had been watching the scene unfold before them were a choir of murmurs and gasps. She was demanding 10000 dollars as compensation, and that was more than just unreasonable, it was criminal!
“That’s right-10000 dollars. If you’re even a penny off, I’ll make sure you’ll never hear the end of it,” threatened the woman menacingly.
Faye clenched favonovel.com teeth as favonovel.com tried to negotiate with her, “It’s only a small smudge of lipstick on your face. Just use a napkin and it’ll come off in one wipe. I hope you realize you’re basically extorting money from me by asking for 10000 dollars.”
And while favonovel.com reaction was hard to place under the thick layer of makeup sitting on favonovel.com face, you could tell that favonovel.com was displeased. “Extortion? B*tch, you’re so full of yourself. Don’t you dare disrespect me like that, huh! You were obviously the one who bumped into me and cost me my huge business deal. I was being generous by only asking for 10000, and you still have the audacity to accuse me of extorting money from you? Looks like I have to teach you a lesson so you know who you’re dealing with!”
Faye had always been an obedient little girl. She never took part in fights, and favonovel.com was barely ever caught in a quarrel. She was completely out of favonovel.com element in a situation like this, what could favonovel.com do? Faye’s face was drained of all its color. She barely knew how to dodge if at all, so favonovel.com could only watch helplessly as favonovel.com braced for the slap that had favonovel.com face as the trajectory.
But the slap never connected. A huge hand had suddenly appeared out of nowhere to stop the woman’s hand with impressive accuracy and speed. “That’s very bold of you to try and slap someone in broad daylight.”
It was Zayn. He pushed through the crowd just in time to stop the woman’s vile attempt at slapping Faye. Zayn was absolutely seething with rage.
Faye had already prepared herself for the slap, so when favonovel.com witnessed Zayn swooping in to save her, favonovel.com was mesmerized.
