The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

CHAPTER 10

Anna's POV

I stare at his retreating figure before shifting my gaze to Pamela who is silently looking at me. 

I move back to where we were seated and bury my head in my palms. I don't know why I am feeling this way towards Tony but I am damn hurt by the disgusted look on his face. He is making me feel cheap and worthless.

"Anna", Pamela is back beside me. She touches my shoulder, waiting for me to raise my head. She thinks I am crying but I am not. 

I want to cry but no tears are coming. I am tired of crying. I am tired of all the problems showcasing its ugly face. I am fed up with everything. I feel like ending everything. Just a single mistake of mine is bringing me nothing but shame.

"Anna?" She calls again.

"Did you see the way he looked at me?" I lift my head to ask her.

"It doesn't matter", she shakes her head.

"What?" I exclaim. "It doesn't matter? He is going to tell everyone, he won't like me again", I half-yell.

She looks thoughtful for a while before asking me. "Do you like him?"

I realize what I said is wrong. I don't even know if I like Tony but the thought of not having him pester my life about dating him again is sickening.

"I thought you said you don't feel attracted to him?" She questions again, despite my silence.

I look away with a serious face. "I don't know."

She sighs and we remain silent, without attempting to stand up so we can go home.

"Let's go out", she says out of the blues, jerking me out of my reverie.

"What?" I ask, wondering what she means by going out.

She grins. "Let's go shopping."

Pamela knows how much I love shopping for new things and I know she is doing this just to cheer me up. I can't lose the opportunity of shopping with my best friend for anything in the world. 

I smile and throw my hands around her to embrace her. "Thank you", I say, with tears streaming down my eyes.

****

"This is superb", Pamela comments on the dress I am wearing. It is a blue short gown with touches of silver flower and ribbons all over the shoulder region. I smile at her.

"I will get this", I say, going back in to change. 

I know Pamela is going to pay for the dresses and I am being conscious of what I get. I have gotten four dresses already and I don't intend to add more so the pay won't be huge.
