NARRATIVE "I'm glad you won again. My efforts weren't in vain." Carlo muttered to himself as he smiled from his elevated spot he was in, watching her. She was happy and he was glad he get's to see her smile even though he knew she might never smile like that in his presence. He was going to imprint this moment in his heart and memory for a long time. Alvin smiled as he watch his Boss smiling so brightly for the first time since he knew him. He felt pleased to have aided in making his boss smile this way and would be willing to give his all to make the young CEO, whose life that had been nothing but sadness for the past three years since he met him, smile again like this. This woman was the only medicine that could cure the wound in his Boss life and he'll keep trying to help him get this rare medicine.FLASHBACKALVIN'S POV Right after Boss asked me to go look after Miss Adele, I was walking down the hallway towards the elevator when I caught sight of none other than my sist
NARRATIVE Mayven smirked in pleasure on seeing the result her appearance at the stage sparked. Yes! She deserved this! She deserved their praise. This was her spot and Adele was sick in the head if she had thought she'll just give it away as easily as that. Sheila must be stupid too if she'd thought she'll continue letting her take all the glory.FLASHBACKMAYVEN'S POV I watch her admire herself on the lengthy mirror, through the peephole on the mahogany door. Sheila how dare you steal my spot?! Even though I hate the bitch that designed this wears, it was my opportunity to come into the limelight and showcase my 'goodness' to all who had eyes to know good stuff.Nope! I let her model all through to the second stage because I initially doubt that the wench's design would be able to make it to the second stage, talk more of the grand finale. Well, this was an opportunity, too good to lose. "Get rid of the CCTV." I said to one of the three guards with me. Well, befor
ADELE'S POV Angry?! I've never felt this amount of rage in such a short while. How could she do that?! How dare her do that?!Mayven, it seems you're begging me to end you huh? I was shaking my foot in the dressing room, visibly vibrating from rage after Sheila explained everything to me. Lu Cheng and Lana were really pissed as well but not as much as myself. They tried to calm me down a little because they know how bad I get when really angry. Everything was going on perfect until the bitch had to show up. Even if I win the grand finale, my joy wouldn't be as pure as it ought to be because of her. How brazen of her to attack my security guards, lock them up in a restroom, slap Sheila and humiliate her in the presence of those scrawny individuals she called guards?! It wouldn't be bad if I teach her a grand lesson right?! For goodness sake, she's ruined this occasion for me! I shouldn't have left Sheila alone. To think that Mayven insulted my dress, yet she had the aud
ADELE'S STANDPOINT I stared at the gold trophy amongst several of my other collections, with a small smile. I did it afterall. I won yet again_even though Mayven almost ruined it for me. For the first time in six years, I felt extremely satisfied with what I did to her. I finally got to have my revenge, how won't I feel great? After getting Carlo's mystery package, I was already feeling edgy and then the bitch had to show up. I'm so pleased at myself with the manner I'd dealt with her. Of course Mayven had successfully ruined the CCTV she could see but what she didn't know was that, there were several other hidden cameras that the company had fixed at almost every aspect of the Hotel. Yes, the building where the event was hosted was one of Relish Industries' famous hotel. But good for me, I had connections with the general manager of the company. So immediately I'd found out what Mayven did from Sheila, it took only a minute call to the general manager and then I had the h
NARRATIVE Adele was busy designing a piece on her computer, when her office door suddenly flung open. The action startled her as she raised her gaze from her work and stared in shock to see the source of the noise running in. "Ma'am, there's been a trouble!" Geraldine announced pantingly. "What?! How do you mean? What's going on?" Adele panicked, already off her seat. "I heard from Mira just now, the delivery truck on the way to Washington DC encountered an irrevocable mishap and..." "And?" Adele urged on, already expecting the worst. "The goods got ruined in the accident. The clients at Washington DC are calling as it is." "How in the world did this happened Geraldine? It's not the first time we're transporting these items down there. Tell me, what exactly happened?"______ Lana was in her apartment, lazilly watching and listening to the news report on TV while her husband gently massaged her baby bump, when the announcer's words and the background display she
NARRATIVE "One, two, three...yes. Give me another, that's good. Awesome." Arsenio said as he took shots of the model in his private studio. Some top clients wouldn't work with his agency except he's the one to take the shots of them. Few minutes later, he was done for the moment at least. "Let's take five, everyone." He said, giving the camera to an assistant while he collected his phone from another and walked out of the studio, placing a call to someone. "Hey beautiful. How's the work coming?" He asked smilingly, stopping and leaning against a pillar outside the studio. "You can pretty much guess that. It's overwhelming Arsenio but I'm quite sure we would be able to meet up with the demands, soon." Adele poutingly replied from her end, while working her hands through the material before her. Her phone pressed between her shoulder and her head. Arsenio smiled on hearing her words. "I know you can. How about hiring some more hands to aid in making the work a bit fast
NARRATIVE "Come on Alistair, you mean you don't recognize me again?" The man said and Alistair furrowed his brows in confusion, as he tried to search through his memory for any identification of the young but huge looking man who just appeared out of no where and even knows his name. Lana stared at both guys curiously, as she stepped out of Alistair's back to stand beside him while holding his hand. She had never seen the young man before. On seeing the other having a hard time recognizing him, the man couldn't delay further and immediately explained his identity. He wouldn't blame Alistair for not recognizing him_after all, it's been ages since they last met. "It's Steve, boy. I'm a bit disappointed though, how you can't recognize me again." He said with a playful frown, removing the black face cap he had on. Just then, Alistair began to put two and two in his memory and not long afterwards, a look of recognition appeared on his face as his eyes glisten brightly from sur
ADELE'S POVI stared at the brown leather wristwatch I had left on my vanity. I still had it wrapped up in the little box with the pink ribbon around it. After several attempts to discard it failed__as I felt bad to throw it away given how expensive it was, I finally made up my mind to give it to Mira, my sales manager.Dragging my feet away from the vanity, I walked to my closest and picked out a simple outfit to wear. I still have tons of work at the company and I'm not in the mood to be all dolled up when hundreds of halfmade designs are screaming my name and begging for my attention.About thirty minutes later, I drove myself to work. Given my personality, I love driving to work myself so I didn't bother hiring someone; except I'm attending a show, gala or the red carpet.The security at the gate of my company welcomed me respectfully as usual and I stepped out of my car the moment I drove in and instructed one of the guards to park it carefully. I have fleet of cars but of course,
