Sasha bit her lip "I went to the same highschool with him" she admitted.

"Wow, no wonder" Vanessa sighed "ever since then, Stella hardly attends anything I'm invited to, that's why I say, she came here just to see you."

"You said her daughter is Kira?" Sasha inquired.

"Yes. Do you know her?"

"Well, actually yesterday I went shopping to one of Michael's shop, I ran into her a lady called Kira and she just wouldn't let me go, always looking for a way to shame me" Sasha gurgled as she thought about it.

Vanessa was surprised at that "wow, what happened then?"

"Well Michael showed up, and settled everything with just few words. Kira I think was angry because he didn't acknowledged her and again he came to my rescue."

"Now I know why Stella is here, she wants to see the woman Michael rejected and treated her daughter like that for" Vanessa laughed at that "really, that is so childish."

The rest of the woman joined them then and the party started, Sasha noticed that Kira was just glaring at her, if eyes were leasers, she would have been dead by now.

Stella tried a lot to get Sasha to talk, mostly about things she was sure she doesn't know and Vanessa always came to her rescue which annoys Kira to the last.

A chauffeur walked up to Vanessa later and whispered something to her, her eyes lit up immediately "really? Bring him in" she ordered and the chauffeur left. Vanessa turned to the women sitting on the table "my apologies ladies, apparently Michael has come to pick up his wife" she smiled, she really loves how her son cooperates, just one text message and he is already here, she smiled as her eyes strayed to Stella and her daughter.

Sasha on the other hand was shocked, came to pick her up? Since when is he that loving? She thought as she looked around and saw him approaching, dressed in a gray suit and looking very handsome, she wasn't able to see him this morning for he left before she woke up "hello ladies" she heard him saw when he was close enough.

"What's the matter Michael, Sasha is not the only married woman here, why does she have to be the only one her husband has to pick up?" One of the woman said and the rest laughed.

"What are you saying? Michael really dotes on his wife, you guys wouldn't know what happen yesterday do you?" Another asked.

"Tell us, that's why we gathered here" another put in and they all nodded while laughing, ah, women and gossip, Michael thought.

"Yesterday, my niece was in Divas Beauty, she happened to witness a dispute between, of course" she looked at Kira "Sasha and Kira, I'm correct, how come I didn't remember this before?"

"Go on say it, what happened?" The rest urged.

"Oh, I don't know if Kira knows she is Michael's wife or not but she challenged her of not having money to pay for her clothes plus other things she said, making Sasha feel so bad and then like a knight in shinning armour, Michael showed up and got Bella to show Sasha the new stock and also offered her a black credit card, can you imagine?"

"Wow, but why would Kira insult Sasha?" One asked.

"I don't know" the woman answered and they all turned to look at Kira and her mother, now that was what Vanessa wanted, of course if such happened in Divas Beauty, its a must that one of the ladies there will be related to one of this women and as tea party will go, it's always for gossips.

"I...I...I didn't know she is Michael's bride" Kira stuttered.

"You didn't know? I thought I heard Sheila mention you talked about Sasha being married to one of the richest man in Los Angeles but she can't pay for a few clothes?"

"Ladies, ladies please, let's drop the issue. I'm sure Kira doesn't know Sasha is Michael's bride, I mean she didn't come to the wedding, how was she supposed to know? Right Kira?" Vanessa asked in her gentle voice.

"Yes aunt" Kira was forced to answer.

"If it's a misunderstanding like you said, then you should apologize for it, thankfully Sasha is here" Gloria said and the rest agreed.

Kira bit her lips and glared at Sasha "my apologies for the inconvenience."

"Inconvenience? Come on Kira, you and I know that's not what you should say" Michael decided to join the discussion.

Kira glared at him before turning to Sasha "I'm sorry."

"That's more like it" Michael said "I'm sorry ladies but please pardon me to take my wife home."

"Alright, alright, we know that you are newly married so go ahead, and leave we old women to gossip" they said and laughed while Vanessa helped Sasha up.

"Alright dear, see you some other time" she said.

"Yes mom" Sasha smiled and waved goodbye to everyone before walking away with Michael.

Sasha got to Michael's car and got in just as he was getting in the driver's seat. She sighed and looked at him as he pulled out of the parking lot "thank you."

Michael glanced her way with a furrowed brows "for what?"

Sasha smiled, if there is one thing she is good at, is to know when someone helped her and she never hesitate to show her gratitude. It's true he said he did what he did yesterday just to save his face but she knew that if it wasn't for him, she really would have been embarrassed and now, in the presence of everybody, he got Kira to apologize to her "thank you for yesterday, I really appreciate."
