GIRL IN RED
CHAPTER 281. VILIFIED
Just as Arimbi wanted to say something, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. The voice was like mocking him, “Oh, isn't that Arimbi? The daughter of the Rafaldi Family who just returned from the village? Are you here just to look around for jewelry?”
When Arimbi and Joana turned their heads, they saw Zivanna who was looking at him with a look of condescension. They meet once again when Arimbi wants to have fun spending her husband's money. Arimbi felt confused, the words of this small world turned out to really describe their situation very accurately.
“Hai Miss Lavani. Welcome to our store,” the store clerk recognized Zivanna and immediately greeted with a big smile. “Does Miss also want to buy jewelry? We have a new product that will definitely make you happy.”
Zivanna glanced at the blue Sapphire necklace that looked good. The clerk noticed Zivanna's eyes staring at the necklace. “Nona Lavani, you have good taste...”.
“Wait! This necklace was offered to me first so I am the right to buy it.” said Arimbi smiled faintly at the store clerk.
Although the clerk of the store was being bad to her, but she still needed to buy some jewelry because she did not want to bother visiting other stores. He wanted to buy all three jewels.
“You? Hahaha...can you buy it? A hick like you has money from where? Although the Rafaldi family is rich but it is impossible to let you spend that much money just for a necklace.”
“Oh yes. You're a free nanny, Mr Emir! Even though you work at Rafaldi Group, your salary is not much. How are you going to pay for a necklace this expensive? Or maybe you….Hmh! Arimbi I didn't think you were that low! Do you think you can seduce Mr Emir to give you money so you can buy this necklace?”
The store clerk fell silent at the debate of the two women. He did not know Arimbi very well and knew nothing about him at all. He did hear rumors about the daughter of the Rafaldi family being switched and has returned. But he did not expect at all if that person was Arimbi. Zivanna Lavani is quite famous in this city and everyone knows her.
“Please pack that necklace for me, I want to buy it.” Zivanna told the shop clerk.
“Hoho...apparently the famous Miss Lavani likes what others like huh! Ckck...didn't think that you like the choice of villagers like me huh! Well, doesn't that mean these villagers have better taste than you Miss Zivanna?” arimbi mocked.
Both hands of Zivanna clenched tightly, she always felt that Arimbi knew how to ignite her anger. “Pack that necklace, he won't be able to afford it.” Zivanna reminded the store clerk. “What store do you guys accept anyone to come just look around?”
The shop employees were silent, no one would fight Zivanna because they knew what consequences they would have if they offended her.
“You may be good but what does that mean if you can't afford it and just bother other people. Arimbi do not come to expensive jewelry stores like this if you only intend to look around.”
“Arimbi, let's go from here!” joana pulls Arimbi's hand.
“Oh turns out there is a daughter of the Ganesha family too! You guys are perfect for making friends. Both shameless and classless! Go there huss...huss..
Before Zivanna wants to get back at her, Arimbi and Joana quickly get out of the store. Then Zivanna approached the clerk and whispered to him.
“Nona Lavani, I...” the clerk of the store hesitated.
“You know who I am, right? I know the owner of this store so just do what I say. I will bear the consequences. If you don't obey me...” Zivanna's eyes stare sharply at the threat. The official straightened his gaze and said softly, “Alright. I understand.”
Zivanna grinned just as Arimbi and Joana were about to get out of the jewelry store. Suddenly the sound of one of the store clerks was heard loudly filling the entire store. “The color of this Hetian jade bracelet is different. Someone must have traded it!”
Swapped it? Arimbi and Joana stopped stepping and turned their heads. Quickly the clerk approached Arimbi and grabbed him by the hand and Joana tried to push the clerk but Zivanna who had been faster pushed Joana felt to fall.
“Hey you! Don't leave! The bracelet was still there and was fine when I took it out. But in a short time someone took it. There were only a few people near the storefront. It must be you who have taken the bracelet!” The store clerk then covered the gaze towards Arimbi's bag with his body and secretly inserted the bracelet into the bag.
Arimbi was unaware of what the store clerk was doing. He really thought the bracelet was gone. “I hold my bag all the time. How could I take it and put it in my bag? This is just a misunderstanding.” said Arimbi.
“Mistake? Huh! It's just you and your friend and Miss Lavani near the storefront. If not you or your friend then who else did it? Did Miss Lavani do it? Plus your attitude has been suspicious from the beginning. You can't even afford expensive jewelry but you ask for the best jewelry!” said the shop employee.
"When I show you, you don't even buy it. It's obvious that you just pretended and took the bracelet!” he added with a sad face.
One of the visitors who saw Arimbi looking through the jewelry also said, “Maybe you have misunderstood accusing people. I saw earlier that this woman was always holding her bag and not touching the jewelry.”
The store clerk looked like he was going to cry and said, “If it wasn't him who else did it? That bracelet is worth over a billion and is now lost under my watch. I can't afford it even though I pay with my life though.”
“I don't think that woman is the thief. He has not touched anything since. I know because I also noticed her because her face is very beautiful so I know her hand is only holding her bag since then.” said another visitor.
“Do not judge a book by its cover! You don't know what kind of person Miss Arimbi is! He was even willing to work as a nanny for Mr. Emir without salary so that he could always be close to him.”, said Zivanna deliberately wanted to tell everyone about Arimbi.
Zivanna chuckled and again said, “The amount of one billion is just like a dime for us but for others, they may not be able to make that much money throughout their lives. A lot of people take risks to make that kind of money. Do you agree Miss Arimbi?”
