Karasuno Manager

While negotiating the terms of a project, a client pressured me into downing a large glass of liquor. While I was washing my face in the restroom, I saw my younger sister’s latest Instagram post. [Low salary? What of it? My parents will always support me!] Above the caption was a photo of a property deed with her name on it, along with a message from our parents. [Mom and Dad will always be your safety net!] It was in a newly developed residential complex. It was also the very neighborhood I had been desperately saving up for a downpayment to buy a home in. At that moment, a torrent of complex emotions washed over me. I splashed my face with water. After clearing my head, I sent a message to my manager, Mr. Jenkins. [I’m willing to take on that overseas project you mentioned.]

“Anastasia, ready?” Seryoso kong tinignan ang manager ko na siyang bumanggit sa pangalan ko. “Always,” tipid kong sagot sa kanya. Kinuha ko ang lipstick sa table. It’s a bold red lipstick, my signature. Mas masarap halikan kapag ganito ka pula ang labi ko. “Remember, no fighting with the clients okay?” bilin nito sa akin. Bahagya akong ngumisi sa sinabi nito sa akin. Hindi ko ito sinagot, minsan na akong nakipag away sa mga kliyente dahil sa mga pina pagawa nila sa akin na hindi ko gusto. “Anyway, your client is a big time billionaire,” sagot nito sa akin habang humi hipak sa sigarilyong hawak niya. Dahan dahan akong tumayo, ang pag iingay ng mga perlas at alahas na naka kabit sa kasuotan ko ay nag ingay, kaya naman nakuha nito ang atensyon ng mga kasamahan ko sa kwarto. Kita ko ang inggit at galit sa mga reaksyon nila pero ni isa sakanila ay wala akong pinaunlakan. Kinuha ko ang sigarilyo na nasa labi ng manager namin at ako ang humipak dito. “Who?” “Rocco Blackwood” Kusang huminto ang mundo ko nang ma rinig ko ang pangalan ng lalaking naikama ako noong nakaraang gabi sa isang high end bar. Bago pa ako maka tanggi ay na kita ko na agad ang lalaking may madilim na ekspresyon naka titig sa akin, as if he is staring at is prey, ready to devour me wholly, in bed. Rough and steamy, I found myself in bed with the ruthless Billionaire. Ang liyab ng pagnanasa na pinaparamdam niya sa akin na siyang nagpapa baliw sa akin sa tuwing nasa kama kaming dalawa.

I received a call the day before my wedding. "Miss McPherson, someone has thrashed your venue." I rushed to the hotel in confusion only to meet a woman waving my wedding photo. "You homewrecking skank! You seduced my husband and spent his money on this wedding!" The crowd believed her and went wild. Even the hotel manager piled on me. "I knew something was fishy when the groom never showed up! You're not his real wife!" The crowd turned into a violent mob. In that chaos, I miscarried. At the height of my fury, I texted my secretary: [Cancel the wedding, and kick Matteo Brando out of my company!] How dare he keep a mistress with my fortune! How dare she challenge me! I will destroy them!

At one in the morning, the general manager posted the project assignments in the group chat and tagged everyone. I reviewed my responsibilities carefully, going through each detail to make sure I understood exactly what was expected of me. When I was done, I typed a simple "OK" and hit send. Two seconds later, my phone rang. It was him. As soon as I answered, his voice came through, icy and sharp, filled with unmistakable disgust. "Eric, I'm very disappointed in you. I must have been blind to trust you with anything important." My mind went completely blank. "What… what do you mean?" I asked, the words slipping out before I could stop them. What he said next was something I never could have imagined.

SYNOPSIS Isabella Hart's supposed ideal marriage to world-famous actor Adrian Cole broke apart when her husband's affair with Vanessa Grey, his manager, was exposed in a leaked sex tape. The revelation humiliated and hurt Isabella, forcing her to seek solace in a reckless one-night stand with a stranger named Victor Hale. Little did she expect that he would become her stepfather some days later when her mother, Eleanor, married him. When she discovered she was pregnant that night, she accepted it and said Adrian was the father. But during a gender revelation party, Adrian's mother Margaret Cole announced to everyone that the child belonged to Victor, the scandal ripping the family apart, leaving Eleanor livid, divorcing Victor, and cutting Isabella away from her completely.

I am about to book a room at a hotel owned by Luca Conti, a consigliere under my command, when a sharp voice suddenly cuts in from behind me. "Aspetta. That's not your price." I turn around. A woman wearing a manager's badge stands there with her arms crossed, scrutinizing me as if I am an unsightly stain she can't wait to wipe away. "We don't allow prostitution here," she says coolly. "If you're receiving clients, there will be a fine." As she speaks, she hands me a penalty notice. The charges are clearly listed on the paper. "Illegal guest reception fee: 350 thousand dollars. "Special soundproofing fee: 150 thousand dollars. "Special cleaning fee: 100 thousand dollars. "Total fee: 600 thousand dollars." Receiving clients? I have simply come straight from a Mafia cocktail party without changing clothes—that's all. What exactly does she take me for?" I lift my gaze and answer evenly, "You're mistaken. I am not that kind of person. You can contact the hotel owner, Luca Conti, and ask him who I am." A sneer flickers through Sofia Rossi's eyes. She spits to the side, full of contempt. "Still claiming you are not a puttana? Women like you come here every week. Every single one of them swears she knows him. "Our boss is the consigliere to the Russo family, the most powerful Mafia family in Seneriffe. Do you really think he needs someone cheap like you? "I suggest you pay up now, subito, before your client loses patience and drags you into the street and rapes you." I do not waste another word on her. I take out my phone and send a message directly to my secretary, Marco Bianchi. "Notify Luca. Either this manager, Sofia Rossi, disappears from this city, or he does."
