Queenie stuck her head outside the car's window to see smoke coming up from a place that looked familiar. "I would have suggested that it was a firework, but we both know that isn't." Queenie said, retreating her head. "I have no idea where it is you're going." Jessica gave a small smile. "Rest assured, you'll love it. It'd also bring back some old, cherished memories." Jessica's words made her a little upset, but she said nothing. Long ago, they were best friends. Then she fell in love with the low life scumbag, Velon, and her life became ruined. He literally blocked her access to the outside world, made her life unbearable, beat her and blamed her for her inability to bear a child. Thinking of her child, she held her still flat stomach slightly. Jessica glanced at her stomach briefly before focusing back on the road. "How's the baby?" "The baby is... Wait, how do you know I'm pregnant?" Queenie quickly realized and asked. "How did I get your number?" Jessica retorted,
"What's happening here?" Kira asked as soon as she arrived at the reception. When she saw Queenie and recalled the picture Andrew had shown her, her lips quavered. Almost immediately, another lady in corporate wear. When she saw the situation, her gaze faltered. However, the other receptionist who had embarrassed Queenie disregarded the conflicted look in that receptionist's eyes and went on to complain to Kira. "Kira, this lady suddenly showed up and claimed she was phoned by you to come sign an endorsement contract. However, knowing she was lying, I tried to drive her away as politely as possible, but she was so bitter that she lashed out at me." Everyone around concurred with her. Kira on the other hand could only sigh. Regardless of Queenie's rudeness, the truth was, they were in big trouble for their words towards her. "Everyone return back to your previous places. Indeed, I was the one who called her under the direction of the President." She said with a straight face as s
The contract signing only took five minutes before she was done. She stood in front of Andrew lazily. "Would you prefer to get your personal assistant and assistant or should the company assign one to you?" He asked. Queenie wanted to reject it until someone flashed past her mind. Jessica Bayne. When she pulled out her phone and called the lady who was trying to sleep in the room they reserved. "Do you think so lowly of me, Queenie?" No doubt, Jessica was upset. Queenie breathed out softly and replied. "It's just an offer. You can choose to reject it. Not like I care." She was about to hang up when Jessica huffed. "Fine, I'll do it!" She pocketed her phone and looked up at Andrew. "I already have the issue about the personal assistant sorted out. The company can assign me a manager." Andrew nodded. "I'll get her to contact you tomorrow. She'd also give you a schedule of your activities when you return here tomorrow." Queenie nodded and walked out of the conference room. When
When Queenie's eyes opened, she was surprised to see a man in black suit sleeping on the small patient chair beside her. When she looked down at her hand, she found out he entwined it with his. She thought she could slip out of his hand without waking him, but was disappointed when his eyes flew open the very next second. "You're up." He said sleepily, tightening his grip on her palm again. "How are you feeling?" Queenie nodded and tried to sit up, but was pushed back onto her seat by Pierce. "You just woke up. The doctor said it's advisable for you to stay in bed until you're strong enough." The man hissed. Despite his words, she still protested. "I was told to come to Glamour Entertainment today. What impression would I leave if I don't make it there today? They might say I'm abusing the little privilege I have." Pierce chuckled softly and pushed her back onto the bed again. "I don't think that's necessary again." "Huh? Why? Have I been laid off?" She gasped. Pierce shook hi
Jessica left fully knowing she had poked a sour nerve in the girl. However, she bumped into someone she didn't expect to see so soon in the elevator. By the time she realized, it was already too late to leave. "Still the trouble making Jessica. I'm kinda surprised, for you to be a personal assistant, the person must be of a higher caliber, not so?" Liam Verlice, a handsome devil and one Jessica had been running from for a year. He had trapped her in an elevator, leaving her to his mercy. "Stay away from me, Liam." She retorted with a scoff and turned to the side. "I will after you tell me why you've been running away from me..." ... Queenie got home that afternoon on her own. She had to persuade the man to go to work that she was going to be fine. After minutes of persuasion, the man accepted and left. But not without assigning three of his best men with her. One which was Wensley, Gray and Vincent. Vincent took the wheel as usual. Recalling something, she asked him.
As Queenie stared at the three women all dressed casually, she couldn't believe her eyes. "What did you two say you're doing here?" She finally asked. However, the two women were smiling sheepishly. Only when Alicia poked them did they snap out of their thoughts. Regardless of her help, that didn't stop them from turning to glare at her. "Roxanne Nexter and Audrey Hepburn, to what do I owe this great visit?" Queenie asked again, this time, her eyes fluctuated between the two brow heads. Audrey, who had a frickle and was fond of putting on a serious countenance, spoke first. "It was just so unfair Jessica had to be the one to attend to you. I mean what does she know?" Now, that didn't go well with Jessica who was seated right beside Queenie. Before she could retaliate, the phone in Queenie's hand rang. Taking a look at it, she noticed it was from her manager, Anna. "Hello?" She spoke as soon as she answered the phone. "Do you realize you have a movie to shoot?" The harsh tone
"Ms. Ken demands your presence immediately!" The assistant said domineeringly. Roxanne wanted to say something, but was held back by the gentle smile on Queenie's face. "It's alright, I'll be there soon." However, the assistant made no effort to leave. Instead, she raced her voice and repeated. "Ms. Ken wishes to see you right now, Ms. Knights!" This time, Queenie, who wanted to play nice, frowned. As she looked towards Alicia's direction, she couldn't help frowning. Alicia just liked to throw her weight around. When the assistant saw Director Dixon walking towards them, she raised her brows in smugness. She had no idea what would befall her. "Ladies, what's going on here?" Director Dixon asked. The assistant who was bent on getting on Alicia's good side, Instantly started complaining. "All I asked her to do was come see Ms. Ken, but she insulted me and made it look like I wasn't trying to get her attention. When I tried to reason with her that it was Mrs. Aspens who needed he
As soon as she left, the phone in Jessica's hand rang and she excused herself to answer it. Having nothing else to do, Roxanne and Audrey searched for a spot and sat down. Then took out their phones to handle their company affairs. "How did she react?" Lucian asked from the other end. Jessica sighed and folded her free hand under her bosom. "I saw nothing on her face. However, I believe she was hiding how she really feels." "I feel so too. Pierce called me this morning and told me what she said when she saw the news. Apparently, my little sister has decided not to be so boring and deal with her enemies accordingly. I can't wait." Lucian retorted from the other end. The two talked for some minutes more before the call ended. When Jessica turned around, she almost got a heartache. It was Alicia's assistant. The one who had walked up to Queenie and spoken rudely to her."Seems you love snooping around." Jessica said with a frown. The assistant merely looked her over and walked pa
