"No, Nina, I don't want to wear anything from this place, as long as Fely and Kisha are around me," Lea hissed sharply. She stared at Nina fixedly. "You also know, those two are planning something bad for me, right?" Nina became nervous, but she quickly calmed down and tried to act as if she didn't understand what Lea meant. "Oh come on Lea, we're pressed for time. You need to get a pair of shoes for the show soon," Nina coaxed gently. "I'll help you choose shoes for you. In the storage room there should be plenty to choose from." Lea was not calm. What happened earlier was clearly premeditated and she didn't know if Fely and Kisha only ended there. Even to Nina alone, she had lost faith. Nina took Lea's hand towards the storage room. "Find shoes that fit you yourself. I need to check on Fely too, because Kisha isn't around." Nina left Lea in the storage room so she could choose her own shoes and approached Fely who was doing her makeup. "Ms. Fely, I think you should do somethi
"But your name is Ms. Lea Ariane Braiven, correct?" asked the delivery man. He pointed to the document he was carrying. "Look! Braiven, Lea Ariane." In the end Lea nodded. She had indeed changed her last name since her father was consumed by the lies created by Fely and Garry and kicked her out of the Windclaw pack. However, she used this new name--Amarin, while living in America and after returning, no one knew that he was no longer a Braiven. "Well, I've changed my last name, but mine is indeed Lea Ariane." "Please sign then. I still have to take the package to another place." Lea signed the acknowledgment and the delivery man handed her the shoe box. Nina kept a straight face, even though she knew that what happened just now would have long tails and ignite the embers in Fely's heart. "Owh, Ms. Fely, so those beautiful shoes are not yours, but Ms. Lea's," said a model. She approached Lea and rubbed the shoebox on Lea's desk in awe. "You must have a very rich boyfriend, Ms.
Lea left the judging room with long strides. Her face looked a bit gloomy. She sat not far from Fely and Nina. Fely nudged Nina's arm. "Why is she still here? Shouldn't she be going home after the disqualification decision?" Nina tried to calm Fely down. "Maybe the organizers or the jury decided to give tolerance, not immediately send her home to avoid gossip," said Nina. Fely pouted displeasedly. Her current wish is only one, namely to see Lea leave this hall and fail the audition. She is so sick that Lea is back, after five years of absence. Lea is a huge threat to her career, to her life. She couldn't sleep well after seeing Lea back."Maybe it is," muttered Fely with high hopes. "She was in the interview room for a very long time and now her face looks down too. Something must have happened, right?" "I think so. You just wait here, I'll ask her. Actually, I'm also a bit curious why I wasn't called as the agency that represents her," said Nina. She approached Lea's seat and s
"I'm very grateful to you," Lea said in a gentle tone. She said that sentence seriously because she really felt very helped by what Jayden did for her. If the man didn't send the beautiful shoes, Lea would definitely not be able to continue the audition to the next stage. "Even though I don't understand how you know my exact foot size, or even how you know I'm in trouble because of a shoe problem, I'm still grateful for your help." Jayden shot Lea an unreadable look, then looked ahead again, at the traffic now slowing due to the gridlock. Jayden smiled faintly. He knew that what he was doing would make Lea form a lot of questions in her mind. Lea is a smart woman. However, Jayden had decided that he would keep his true identity secret for as long as possible. He had to first find out a lot about Lea, get her heart back, and make her his own and stay with him. After all, Jayden was worried that Lea might not feel comfortable knowing that he was a millionaire. Better to keep that
Jayden devised a plan. He returned to his office, the Franzine Industrial building. Jayden parked the car on a special spot on his private floor and went straight up to the place where his office was located via a special elevator. He rarely interacts with employees or staff at his company, because he has competent people, most of them were betas and has proven their ability to be his accomplice in managing the company. Betas usually have a high level of diligence and loyalty if they receive satisfactory compensation and no one can doubt how Franzine Industri takes care of the welfare of all employees and staff working under, even the lowest level employees. However, in accordance with what Franzine Industri provides to all its employees and staff, the company also enforces strict rules and procedures for hiring employees, with various difficult exams and tests as well as very detailed work agreements. Mr. Lim Khe Jong, one of Jayden's personal assistants who is closest and worked
Lea was in a precarious state. She saw, outside the car, Mr. Aries just pacing uncertainly while occasionally fiddling with the phone and occasionally smiling. The middle-aged man didn't look worried, panicked, or confused at all. He was very calm and looked like he was just waiting for time to pass, doing nothing like he should.Lea didn't want to make baseless accusations, but with all that had happened recently, it was certain that she too was currently in a trap set up by Fely. Her step sister must have been so upset that Lea passed the first audition and was able to continue all the way to this final stage. Lea was sure that even though Fely tried to appear calm and in control, also with Nina always standing by her side, deep inside she was very worried and afraid. She had tried many schemes to bring Lea down, in subtle, deadly ways, using the hands of others who were afraid of her. Not because Fely has the charisma to be feared or respected, but because she always has the tric
"Don't worry, Ms. Fely, as you wish, suddenly the car that picked up Lea got lost. The driver misread the map and they were stranded on a secluded road. Then, before they could find their way back, the car suddenly broke down and couldn't find their way back," said Nina happily. "There's no way back till afternoon, maybe?"Fely looked at Nina's face with concern. "Are you sure the accident will hold Lea long enough for the auditions to end?" Nina fixes the shoulder on Fely's shoulder carefully and nods confidently. "Yes, I'm sure she is. My diver will make sure she doesn't get anywhere. Now you have to get ready and impress the judges. You're perfect!" Fely smiled sweetly and tossed her hair confidently. "I will be the winner. The title of Franzine industry brand ambassador will be mine." "That's for sure, Ms. Fely. In this room, you're the only one who seems to exude the aura of a winner." Fely didn't let go of her smile during the re-registration process. Today's assessment of
"Ms. Lea, you are very late and have kept the jury waiting," said one of the judges, a woman with short black hair. She was very impressed with Lea's appearance and her almost perfect features, compared to all the models who had passed the audition process. However, she wanted to say that she did not like Lea's punctual and undisciplined attitude. "My apologies in advance, Mrs. Diane, I've had a little trouble commuting and as I mentioned before, I've only just returned to this city after five full years of living in America, so it seems I've kind of forgotten the roads I'm supposed to take to get there." "Then you should have left earlier," said Mrs. Diane firmly. "I'm sorry again, but as far as I know, according to the rules that apply during this event, each participant is given a time tolerance to follow the audition process for fifteen minutes from the first call to enter the audition room and because when I entered, the committee just counted to four, that means I'm not la
