My Sister-In-Law Is My Mate!?!

"Fine, I apologise, lady hazel for my mistake!'' Though she was apologising there was no regret at all. Hazel shook her head at the weird two faced behaviour of the girl but decided not to drag the matter further.

"I do not think that I will find the dress I like, here! So shall we go to any other boutique?" Hazel turned and held the hands of Richard who nodded his head and picked up the ruby from the table.

"Why did you bring the ruby with you?" she asked as she looked at the treasure sparking in his hands.

"I wanted to have it turned into a necklace for you!" though his voice was still cold, a dotting look could be seen in his eyes that turned the face of Eli ugly!.

"And what about the piece of silk? Why did you not inform me that you have the silk with you? I would have used it as a proof and ended the matter earlier!" she turned and picked up the silk that he had not given any heed to as if it was a waste!

Even Eli turned towards them to know why he kept silent until the end. 

The man frowned as he looked at hazel and tilted is head, 

"Didn't you ask me to stay silent and let you handle the matter!"

"......." so, he did not inform them that he had real silk because the girl told him to stay silent. Just how obedient the man was? That he listened to what the girl sailed so seriously!?

"That! In future, even if i tell you that i will handle the matter, do tell me if you have any information, most importantly proofs about that matter!" Hazel coughed and cleared her throat before asking her to do so.

He tilted his head but nodded again like an obedient person that a smile bloomed on her face.

"Wait! Who had torn my dress?" came the loud voice of a man who came running towards their direction and then snatched the torn dress from the hands of the staff and shrieked like he had lost his kid!

Hazel frowned as the man kneeled on the floor with teary eyes like he had lost something precious!

"Isn't it just a dress? And its payment had been done too!" she muttered and the man who was still grieving snapped his head towards her.

"Just a dress! How could you say such rude words? These are like my kids! I have done so much hard work in making each of them. I add a part of my soul to my dresses. It takes a part of me every time when one of the dresses gets damaged! That is why they are very famous!" he spat in an aggrieved tone and she rolled her eyes.

"That means that you sell your soul?! Tsk! What if a person burns all your creations at once? Would you still live or perish with that?" her voice was filled with mockery that infuriated the man but he did not know how to retort!

He turned his head and looked at Eli who was their regular customer and liked the dress too.

"Your highness! Did you listen to her rude words? She is talking ill about my designs and praying that I would perish!

You have to punish her for my sake! Do not let her go easily!" once again he exaggerated his action as he pointed at hazel and asked for her imprisonment who had an amused look on her face as if she was watching the acting of a clown!

"Your dress was imitated. The Alienore silk could not be torn with bare hands by a girl like her!

You were tricking us! I still had paid the amount of the dress. If you create further fuss, then it will be you who will end up in prison for deceiving the royal family, so you better shut your mouth!" her words were cold and merciless as she looked at the man with rage!

It was only because of him that she had to suffer the loss. Or who would have the courage to ask her to apologise but she did not push the matter further as she was more interested in knowing about Richard then the foolish man and his dress.

"My lady! Are you abandoning me now?" asked the man as he held his chest with both hands and looked at Eli with a heartbroken face as if he was a man abandoned by the girl when she found a better man.

Eli did not pay any attention to the man as her eyes lingered on the couple in front of her eyes. She could not help but stare at the man who seemed to be regal, cold and perfect. 

His every action, every word and every part of his body was so elegant and perfect that she felt her cheeks burn just by looking at him. This kind of man deserves a much better life partner than the girl standing beside him! 

With that thought she took slow steps towards the couple.

"Since I have already apologised, I would like to invite both of you to have lunch with me. It is for our better relations in the future!" She looked at both of them  confidently as she was sure that no one in the moor would dare to refuse the invitation of the royal family.

She would use this chance to know more about the man and their marriage. Though the man was looking at the lady with a dotting gaze, the lady did not have any warmth in her eyes.

Even her smile and action were more like a friend than lovers! If the marriage was new and they were not close, she wanted to know whose family this man belonged to! 

"I apologise, but I have some work to deal with. So, I will not be able to join you for a meal!"
