EPISODE 64
Athena and Kizy were both wearing the same dress, which was the latest outfit from Purple.
In reality, Mary had given this outfit to Kizy for today’s press meet. But who would have known that Athena would come to know about this, and arrive at the press meet just a few minutes before Kizy while wearing the same outfit.
“Kizy do you want to change your dress? I can make arrangements right now.” Markus asked, not wanting his wife to be copied by Athena.
“No Markus, not at all. I am going to wear this dress given to me by mother. After all I need to show that I haven’t copied someone but it is the other way round. Two can play the game together!” Kizy said while smirking, her tone showing how much she was enjoying this situation.
“Let’s go.” Markus said before hooking his arm with Kizy’s, walking gracefully towards the stage.
Markus simply gave a nod to Athena before pulling out a chair and making Kizy sit before he sat beside her.
Athena immediately took the seat next to Markus.
Now that both the females were sitting together, people could see the stark contrast between both of them.
Athena, who was always known for her strong and bold character was wearing a white dress which was diminishing her aura.
Whereas on the other hand, Kizy looked cold and proud, wearing silver snowflakes all over, being the ice queen she had always been.
“Now that I take a closer look, Miss Kizy suits the dress more than Miss Athena.”
“Kizy knows what she is wearing and changes her temperament accordingly. But Miss Athena is lacking here.”
“Kizy definitely did this on purpose to outshine my goddess Athena. She is evil.”
“I vote for Kizy’s look.”
All the reporters instantly started discussing the dress. Even Athena could hear some of them, and suddenly her anger was at its peak.
She had taken so much trouble to find out Kizy’s dress and took even more time to copy Kizy’s look. Yet all of them were still complimenting Kizy instead of insulting her for copying.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today I feel happy to announce another partnership by our company with Glitter.
All of you already know about both the companies so I won’t take much of your time over the introduction.
I would now ask Mr. Markus to fill us on the details about the partnership, which would be followed by a short interview wherein we will be answering five questions.” The MC announced which was followed by a round of applause and the mic was passed to Markus.
Markus first talked about Glitter, before explaining the partnership and ultimately what the audience or common public would be getting out of it.
He made the entire purpose clear within ten minutes, covering all the necessary details, making it easier for the reporters to make the articles.
After that he passed the mic to Athena, who almost spoke the same thing as Markus, but the reporters didn’t complain.
“Now, only five reporters will be given the chance to ask questions. The reporters can raise their hand and we will randomly choose any one amongst you to ask the questions.” The MC explained before letting the reporters raise their hands.
Soon almost all the hands were seen raising, all the reporters wanting to ask questions.
The first two questions were answered ski||fully which were related to the business partnership.
Third question was about the scandal where Markus was labelled as a playboy while his company suffered a huge blow. Similarly he asked about Kizy’s health, who was rumoured to be gravely injured due to some accident.
“Thanks to you all for supporting me and the company in bad times. We were able to clear our names and stand strong again.
As for Kizy, yes she has suffered a lot. Especially because I was insufficient. But I’ll try to grow stronger and be someone who would never let Kizy’s smile disappear.” Markus said before turning to look towards Kizy, who had a contented smile on her face.
But the fourth question was….
“Miss Kizy and Miss Athena are wearing the same outfit from ‘Purple’. Was that a pure coincidence or something else. Because this is not even the masterpiece of the season. Plus Miss Athena is usually not the one to wear such bright shades. So I was curious to know the story.” The reporter asked, though polite but hinting that it was most probably Athena who was third wheeling between Markus and Kizy.
Athena immediately gave a happy smile before speaking.
“I know this isn’t my usual style, so it may seem that I have copied Miss Kizy. But no I didn’t.
This partnership will be a huge milestone for ‘Glitter’ and thus I wanted to look different on this important event.
In fact I had already purchased this dress three days ago. I had even posted a photo of mine while I was there at ‘Purple’.
Which means almost anyone following my account would have guessed that I would be wearing a ‘Purple’ dress.” Athena said while turning towards Kizy, giving a weird smile, as if she was signalling that it was Kizy who had copied her and not the other way round.
But Kizy was all smiles, knowing Athena had instead of clearing her own name, pushed herself into a corner of no return.
She picked up the mic before speaking.
“Good morning everyone. Hope you all are doing well. It feels good to be back to working after a long time.
And about the dress, I guess this would definitely be a pure coincidence.” Kizy paused, making the reporters firmly believe that it was she who had copied Athena.
“Because Miss Athena doesn’t look like someone who would use cheap stunts like copying another female attending the same event.” Kizy spoke again, making all the reporters gasp at her bold statement.
Kizy looked at Athena with a smile before resuming to speak.
“This dress was one of the few dresses that mother i.e Markus’s mom gifted me on new year.
You all must be remembering the newly found partnership between their companies, as a result of which, me and Markus were gifted all the latest outfits for the season, one of them being the one I am wearing.” Kizy paused again, to let the reporters understand that it wasn’t her fault for copying, but anyone should have known that Mary would definitely give all the dresses to Kizy.
If Kizy would have stopped at this statement, people would have still stopped at this point, thinking that Athena was unaware of the scene and forgotten about this.
But Kizy didn’t have any plan to let Athena off the hook.
“As for Miss Athena, she must not have seen my post with Markus’s mom, where mother had personally taken me to ‘Purple’ showroom and purchased everything for me just a week ago. Plus Miss Athena doesn’t follow my account so it is quite possible.” Kizy said and finally kept the mic down, knowing she had given enough clues.
If the reporters were smart enough, they would definitely understand what she was pointing at.
The reporters immediately went to Kizy’s account, only to find a post with Mary posted exactly a week ago.
In the picture, Mary was happily seen placing all the dresses in front of Kizy, one of the dresses being the one that Kizy and Athena had worn today.
‘Grateful for having her!’ Was the caption Kizy had written, making all the reporters understand that Kizy had already received every dress from Purple.
But it was Athena who had suddenly changed her brand, her style, and still hinted at Kizy for copying.
One of the reporters instantly went to Athena’s account and checked her profile before questioning Athena.
“Miss Athena, you follow Mr. Markus, his mom and even his previous PA Mr. Joel. But why haven’t you followed Miss Kizy yet?” The reporter asked, making the already angry Athena go even more crazy.
Even Kizy wasn’t following Athena, but nobody could question her, because she had millions of followers, but the only person she followed was Markus. So people knew that though many bigshots followed Kizy, she only followed Markus.
But the situation now had left Athena stumped for words.
“I.. I was about to follow-” Athena was still speaking when Kizy interrupted in between.
“Should we consider that the fifth question from your side or do you still want to change your question?” Kizy asked.
The reporters could see that Athena couldn’t come up with some plausible explanation, and how Kizy was trying to save her even now, which showed who had a bigger heart amongst them.
“No Miss Kizy, we have more questions!”
“I have another question!!”
“Me too!”
The reporters immediately spoke, not wanting to lose their last chance on something this stupid.
Finally a formal question was asked about the partnership details and the conference ended on a happy note with Markus and Kizy filling the reporters with much needed PDA while Athena was left gritting her teeth.
Once the reporters started leaving, Athena came closer to Markus and Kizy who were busy talking about some stuff.
“She is way too calculative. You should stay away from her.” Athena said in a warning tone.
“That’s how my woman should be. By the way that’s called being smart and not calculative. But yeah, purposefully wearing this dress is what I call being calculative.” Markus said and pointed at Athena’s dress before turning towards Kizy, who simply ignored Athena and went away with Markus.
‘I will definitely not leave you too this easily!’ Athena screamed in her mind before leaving the venue angrily.
“Won’t that affect your partnership negatively?” Kizy asked, knowing full well that Athena would definitely not let this matter go.
“No partnership or deal is more important than you wifey.” Markus said in a cheesy tone.
“Hmmm. Then why did you accept Glitter’s proposal in the first place?” Kizy said.
“Because Nicole asked me-” Markus said and suddenly stopped, knowing he almost dug his own grave.
“Nicole? Why though?” Kizy asked, raising her brow.
“Cause, cause she could see the amount of benefits this partnership would fetch.” Markus spoke before walking faster and reaching their car, opening the door for Kizy, wishing she wouldn’t ask anything more.
Kizy just looked at Markus with suspicion, instantly knowing that there was something wrong, especially since Nicole had asked Markus for the partnership.
Because Kizy knew that it was Markus who called the shots, and Markus being much more experienced in the field definitely won’t need Nicole to point out a great opportunity.
But Kizy didn’t ask anymore and simply sat inside the car, racking her brain for the entire ride.
Finally the car stopped and similarly a smirk appeared on Kizy’s face, which instantly disappeared before Markus could see it.
“Markus.” Kizy called Markus after climbing out of the car.
“Yeah.” Markus said.
“Can I handle the deal with ‘Davidson’?” Kizy asked, her tone almost pleading.
Markus just looked questioningly at Kizy, expecting some reason for this out of the blue request.
“I have been on holiday for a long time. I need some projects to get back on track and keep me busy. But as I said, I don’t want to deal with ‘Glitter’. So can I manage the other project?” Kizy asked.
“Are you sure? Davidson?” Markus asked, finding Kizy’s request a little fishy.
“Yes.” Kizy confirmed.
“Okay, as you wish.” Markus said before heading inside.
“Joel.” Suddenly Kizy called Joel out, who was silently sitting on the front passenger seat.
“Yes Young Miss.” Joel instantly said while standing ramrod straight in front of Kizy.
“Why do I smell disinfectants from you?” Kizy asked, making Joel suddenly go on high alert.
