Maria was serving food and drinks to customers when she noticed her rude manager staring at her sharply, so she just ignored it to avoid the situation, and then she noticed the time, it was 7 p.m. There was a sexy and sophisticated woman who came into their restaurant and was immediately greeted by her coworkers, and she couldn't take her gaze away from the beauty of the newcomer because she didn't seem to be halfway to the nice creature that came.

"Are you familiar with her? she's only engaged to the Billionaire and she's incredibly attractive, no wonder... To be attractive like her is a pipe dream, so don't even try." Muttered her manager behind her, and she was only holding back, unable to respond with anything negative, so she confronted it and said, "You too, don't even try to be as beautiful as her." Then she left her rude boss with her mouth open.

"Hello, ma'am, Good evening!" She greeted the woman.

She simply smiled at the woman's phony smile before moving in front of her. It was taken to the table of a group of wealthy people after she glanced at it. "She's lovely, isn't she?" She inquired of Jasmine, who was preparing fresh orange juice.

"You'll think twice after learning about that woman's temperament. Maria, you're even more stunning than her." She chuckled since she knew she was lying when she heard that from her buddy and said, "Stop fooling... I'll be the one to serve this to her." Then Jasmine said something to her "I'll serve this, and you should watch and learn. You'll be kicking yourself for calling her attractive." It was then that Jasmine walked to the woman's table and something terrible happened.

"Oh, my God! This tastes like trash! This is not an Orange that I ordered! Change it, you little poor!" The attractive woman shouts at Jasmine who still manages to apologize and take the order again. Her smile faded as she witnessed her friend being insulted so severely by so many people, while others simply laughed at Leila while apologizing to the rude woman.

"You see that? She's a monster and that's not her real face. It's plastic..." Jasmine murmured to her and that made her feel bad about her friend. Her face was carved with worry about her friend and she asked in confusion what her friend was saying to her.

"What do you mean? Plastic surgery?" Then Jasmine nodded more quickly as she realized the rude manager was coming to them.

"Hey, you two! You need to go back to work. Not gossiping!" Jewel said while pointing to them with her finger.

"Yes, Miss Jewel..." She said and grabbed Jasmine.

She has a lot of stress and troubles at work at the end of the night, but she manages to keep cool while waiting for her fiancé to pick her up and sees Craig panting when she gets on the highway. frowned and wondered where Thomas had gone.

"What happened to you?" She asks.

"Our expenses are due and I'm worried about my brother's health. You could help me if you have the time. Can you lend me a minimum of $15,000?" Craig begs her to say yes and without thinking, she says yes because he cares a lot about this guy so much and she is thinking now to open her account and look at how many savings she saved for the past 10 years of working.

Craig encourages her to say yes, and she does so without hesitation because she cares so much about this man, and she is now considering opening her account and seeing how much money she has saved over the last ten years of working. Then Thomas hugged her tightly, and she felt his love. Hopefully, she didn't make the mistake of giving him money; even if he didn't pay for it, she didn't mind as long as she helped Craig' family. She double-checked her bank account and saw that he still had $50,000 left in it allowing her to resume saving. She is a frugal woman who, while having a paycheck, refuses to shop for herself. She prioritizes her family's needs as well as her own, and she always saves the excess of her salary, so she was overjoyed to see the large sum of money she had been accumulating for a long time, even though it was only a tiny amount of money for the wealthy. It's already a significant sum for her and Craig's future, and she intends to save even more.

"I'm gonna pay you back for this. Thank you so much!" He said and held her hand. "You don't have to pay for it, Craig. I'm glad that your brother will be fine soon and will be getting out of the hospital. I hope I can finally meet your family soon." She is smiling at the man in front of her but Thomas has no intention to bring her to meet his family. By looking at her she looks nothing like all the girls he's been dating. Broken eyeglasses, Old clothes as always, and large bangs that cover her pretty face. That's why he's thinking of taking Olivia to the mall and getting a makeover so that Maria will look decent and fine but he doesn't want to spend any penny on this girl so he will spend some money that he lends from Maria and the other left money will be for his new motorcycle. 'Such an idiot, Maria!' That's what he was thinking to himself as he stared at Maria, who was beaming at him.

"Craig...what are you thinking?" Maria asked him while they were inside the cheap restaurant.

"Hmmm...Tomorrow I'll take you on Sunday and it will be our date, and...I got a surprise for you." He said and took the menu to not talk to this girl anymore. He's ashamed of the way this girl looks but he needs to endure it because he needs her money.

"Oh wow, how sweet. I'm going to tell my niece so that she can tell her mom tomorrow. Do you know my niece Prissy? Right. She's a teenager now...pretty girl."

Seems like Craig is not listening to her but she ignores it and says "Thank you, I'm so excited for tomorrow, what time?"

"Eleven in the morning." He said in a bored tone.

"Okay...that's great." She said happily and touched his hand warmly.

The Next Day,

Maria hurriedly walked to the venue where she and Craig would meet. She hurriedly walked to reach the bus, then successfully entered and sat down.

She is now wearing a different dress, the one given to her by her sister, which she should wear today to pique Craig's interest in her; she is wearing a cute blue dress that suits her skin tone and now she is also showing her skin; it is her first time showing off her skin today and she ain’t no comfortable because her big sister really obligated her to look like an independent and a chicks woman that no man could control of the ways she dresses, because what he wore was just right for him, and now she doesn't have bangs because her sister fixes her bangs with a headband.

Her attractiveness drew the attention of all the males on the bus. She may have been observed adjusting herself recently since she felt her face blushed from the men's gaze on her on the bus.

When she arrived at the location where she and Thomas would meet, the women there gave her another look, their eyes filled with insecurity. She ran up to Thomas when she spotted him in the distance, but she was stopped when she collided with a tall man in a black suit who was carrying Starbucks coffee, which spilled all over her gorgeous blue dress. "Oh my god..." she exclaimed, her dress already wet.

"Hey, Miss, are you all right?" Arthur asks a question about the lovely lady; he is awestruck by her beauty and finds it humorous because he is not like this kind or type of man.

Her mouth fell open and she looked up at the man who asked if she was okay, and she gaped again when she saw how attractive the man standing in front of her was, he was so tall, with broad shoulders, and he was wearing sunglasses, and then her eyes went around to see that the man was surrounded by his bodyguards, who were all dressed in tuxedos.

Before she could respond, The man removed his velvet tuxedo jacket to conceal the coffee stains on her dress. While her fiancé is glaring at her in a corner with furious eyes,

She even smells the man’s fragrant scent, which makes her feel better in this situation. "I'm sorry, gorgeous..." the man muttered quietly as he walked away from her. She couldn't even speak since she was stunned.

"Are you flirting with another man this way?" She gulped and knitted her brows together as she heard Craig' voice from behind her. She hadn't done anything wrong and she believed wasn't flirting.

“Craig! It's not true!” she exclaimed.

Thomas scrutinized her from head to toe as if taken aback by what he saw. Is it because of the outfit she's wearing now that all the gentlemen in the mall are awestruck by her long-hidden beauty? "Please don't look for anyone else because we're getting married soon. It'll be next week!" She notices Craig's eyes are glowing with desire, desperate to kiss her or kiss her entire body, but she refuses to allow him since she wants everything settled on their wedding night.
