3. GET HIM OUT OF MY SIGHT

The attitude Ariana was portraying right now was digging and piercing deep holes into Vincent's skull. He stood in his position as he glared at both Clara and Ariana with a sort of rage building up in his memory. What the hell is her problem? How dare she? What is she feeling like? All because I humbled myself and tried to look for her to get back to her? Now she's acting like she doesn't know me? He thought and tried everything he could to calm down.

Cool off, Vincent. Calm down. You are trying to win her heart back. This is not the time to be so stupid. He thought to himself as he tried everything he could to suppress his fury. "I'm sorry about the way I lashed at you right now. I am so sorry Ariana okay. But this is just crazy. Why the hell would you say that? Of course, you know me and I know you. You are my ex-wife okay. " He said and Ariana looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She slowly turned her head to look at Clara. Clara also looked at her and the looks on their faces were making it so obvious that both of them were thinking that he was crazy or something.

"This is absurd here," Ariana said slowly and bit her lip. "Are you sure you're not mistaking me for another person?" She asked and Vincent looked at her with an expressionless startled face.

Is she serious? Is she intent on keeping up this act? He thought as he gazed at her deeply. " Ariana, I will need you to stop this. Okay, this is just crazy. Is it because of what I did to you? Okay okay." He raised his hands in resignation. " I am sorry. I am really and deeply sorry, please. This is the reason why I'm here. Ever since then, I've been trying my best to get to you. I noticed how you have progressed but it's like you have always been busy so anytime I try to get to you, you are not always available. But I'm so glad I found you right now. I've been trying to find a way to apologize to you for what I did to you. I am so sorry and I regret it. I was so stupid to have done that. Please I need you to come back to me. My mind hasn't been at rest ever since you left. Please. " He said and kept on pleading.

Ariana found herself staring at him with wide eyes. She was giving off wide eyes as though she was surprised or perplexed but deep down within her she was boiling with extreme rage.

You are sorry?!! You are sorry?!!! She screamed in her brain. Rose looked confused as she kept examining Ariana with wonder.

Clara then stepped forward. "I am sorry Mr Vincent but there must be a big mistake here. I know this is all confusing to you and I understand what is happening here. This is not the Ariana you know." Clara said and Vincent looked at her.

she must be crazy. He thought.

"You must be insane in the head Clara. I never invited you into the discussion so step aside. " Ariana clenched her fists.

"I can accept anything but talking back to my manager in that manner doesn't show how much of a respectable individual you are." She said sharply and Vincent was stunned by her reply. The Ariana he knew would never talk back like that to him with so much boldness and seriousness on her face. She looked completely determined with the sort of willpower as though her authority had gone like a bat out of hell to the level of the heavens.

He gulped down hard as he stared at her before trying as much as he could to calm himself down. "Okay. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that." He said and she took a deep breath.

"Good. Now back to what you were saying. I do not understand everything you have just said. And according to what my manager has just said, you are mistaken. " Vincent clenched his fists.

" Of course, I cannot be mistaken. You are Ariana. My ex-wife. You left me because of a wrong I did to you and I've been looking over for you. But......"

" I am so sorry Mr Vincent but I have never met you before. This is my first time seeing you I'm serious." She said and he looked at her as though his eyeballs were about to explode.

Is she seriously fooling me right now?

Clara slowly walked up to him. "Mr Vincent. I think you should quit the act okay? You are beginning to make a scene here and it won't be nice if you embarrass yourself before everyone around. " She said and Vincent looked around him to notice the other workers staring at them with wonder on their faces. "You are embarrassing Miss Ariana so you need to stop this. " Clara said forcing him to grit his teeth.

"Embarrassing you? She is Ariana. My ex-wife. Why are the both of you being so stupid?"

Ariana finally lost it. "Okay, Clara I don't think I can take this anymore. Is this the interview show we are supposed to attend? Is this what they planned for me? I don't think I can go ahead with this interview. If I had known that I'm going to encounter such crazy individuals I wouldn't have come here in the first place." She said and Clara walked up to her acting as though she was trying to calm her down.

" I'm so sorry Miss Ariana. I'm so sorry. I will try everything I can to resolve this. " She then finally turned to Vincent. "Vincent, I will need you to listen attentively while I try to explain things."

" There is nothing to explain."

" There's absolutely everything to explain so if you can just chill and listen to me, then you will get it and stop embarrassing yourself. " She said sharply and Vincent was taken aback by how bold she also talked back at him.

He looked at her for a while and finally folded his arms trying to cool down his temper. "Okay. Go on."

" Like I said earlier, This Ariana is not the Ariana you know. This is a difference, Ariana. The Ariana you know, what is her name? " Clara asked and Vincent looked at her for a while.

"Her name is Ariana Watson." He said and Clara chuckled. Ariana also scoffed and rolled her eyes behind Clara.

"Such crazy fellows. " She said softly to herself as she turned in another direction. Rose and Vincent looked at each other before glancing back at her.

Clara shook her head. "You see? You're just making a scene for nothing Mr Vincent. This Ariana is different. I understand that she has so much resemblance and she has a similar look to your ex-wife but she is not who you think she is. This right here is Miss Ariana Swift. I'm sure you should know her. And I'm sure you must have seen her receive her award just a few moments ago. Everyone knows her as Miss Ariana Swift okay. She is not a Watson." Clara said and Vincent clenched his fists.

"Don't just think you can just walk over here and fool me like I am some child. The Swift is her stage name. Her real name is Ariana Watson okay. This is over. I don't think I can bear this stupidity. Ariana, you need to quit this act and come out clean right now. What is the meaning of this?" He said loudly and it was obvious that his temper was climbing to its limit.

Ariana remained in her position gazing at him with a blank expression. It was giving her so much confidence and joy that she was hitting his ego so hard with the way she was acting.

"Clara." Ariana finally said. "I don't think I can view this anymore. This is a waste of my precious time. Since it is so obvious that these two are not ready to acknowledge my presence, I think I would just leave. I'm already tired as it is and I need some rest." She said as she turned to pick up her bag.

"Miss Ariana you need to calm down okay? I think it will be advisable for you to take this interview. You need it." She said and Ariana just rolled her eyes.

"No, I don't. It is not compulsory. What is compulsory is this." She said and displayed the award in her hands. "And I have received it. There is nothing more to do. Please let's just go home I'm so tired. "

"No, you are not going anywhere. " Vincent said as he obstructed her way to the entrance. " I can't believe you will resort to this Ariana. I totally cannot believe this. So what are you feeling like now? Just because you have already made it to the top, you are already feeling like you're on top of the world. for heaven's sake, I am humbling myself here to apologize to you admitting that I did wrong. I am sorry. Stop acting like you don't know me, this is absolute stupidity and it's a childish act." Ariana shut her eyes trying to cool off her temper.

"Clara, can you please get him out of my sight? I have had enough of him, please. " Ariana said and Vincent looked at her with astonishment evident on his face.

Say what?
