They both went downstairs where a car was waiting for them and Victoria was to serve as the chauffeur. Her demeanor hadn't changed since the last time Ron saw her. “Did Vic ever tell you what was wrong with her? She doesn't look herself,” Ron asked Adina. "Nuh uh,” Adina said, holding her stomach. "You good?” "Peachy” "For God's sake, that word.” Ron felt like he would throw up if he heard that word one more time. He went over to the other side of the car to let himself in. “What are you doing?" Adina stopped him in his tracks. “Getting into the car to meet the client we were supposed to meet." He couldn't understand the question. “The door, who would open it for me? An elf?" Adina barked at him. He ran over to her and opened the door for her as she had commanded. Before she got in, she noticed a little speck of dust on the car seat. “Take off your jacket," she said, looking at Ron. Victoria was just watching the drama unfold, helplessly. Following his orders, He did what h

Erica’s face was still beet red at the correction Ron just made. She couldn’t believe that someone in his ranks could speak to her in that manner.“Uhm! Do not mind him at all, Ms. Erica.” Adina butted in right away. “He’s still a newbie and for that, doesn’t know his place.Her fists clenched underneath the restaurant table and the skin underneath her eye twitched as she glared at Ron.“Next time, bring more experienced people to my table.” She threw her eyes away, arms crossed over her chest.Ron didn’t bother to offer an apology. Her condescending attitude also didn’t faze him as the waiter served the dishes. She was a beautiful woman with an ugly character.“Oops!” Ms. Erica gasped and it seemed her cutlery had fallen on the floor. Her face darkened as she snapped at the director, “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t called me out here, would this bad omen have happened to me—““No!” Adina shot to her feet, hands extended as she halted the woman from picking up the fallen cutler

Ron saw the short man with an arrogant bald head and an unfriendly stare approaching them with his team. He straightened his back, knowing that it wasn’t good news they were about to receive. He had suspected that this would be the outcome and already began to think of ways to get out of this. “Although we extend kindness to all our customers, I cannot do that now. The both of you will have to exit this building and never return. I am withdrawing all of our exclusive benefits to Fashion Factor and implementing a ban from this day henceforth,” he began in a stern voice. Ron glimpsed the mortification on Adina’s face. This was Bella’s favourite restaurant to eat in during work hours. They had a lot of coupons and benefits here. But the manager of this restaurant wanted to cut all ties with them because of this same unfortunate situation. Adina had not only lost the client who was Bella’s last hope ever since Jonas disappointed her. Now she had ruined the company’s good relati

Adina could have never imagined that Ron had such concrete evidence up his sleeve. She couldn’t narrow down how he had gotten his hands on that.Ron had to tap into Bella’s CCTV account. He knew the password and everything and with it, he could access all footage of their house and Fashion Factor.In fact, he hadn’t checked before. It was just now he even confirmed his suspicions that Adina had wanted to humiliate him in front of the client and cause him to lose his job.“As you can see, I’m not the one you should arrest,” Ron said and the officer behind the desk watched the footage twice before settling his gaze on the tense director.He tapped his ear piece. “There’s a case here that needs to be resolved. Yes, about to bring in a new offender for questioning.”Adina’s eyes widened like saucers. She had come to send Ron to jail and now it had backfired. She shot to her knees, snot leaking down face mingled with tears.Her palms rubbed hard together as she begged. The officer stood up

Ron stared at her one last time before raising his hands in surrender and turning away from her. He walked with his back, looking at her again.“Be safe. I’ll get going now, Ms. Victoria,” Ron called out before heading back to the entrance of the building.There were still a few hours left in the day for work. He made a stop at the department store near the HQ and got himself a change of clothes. Victoria Park came to his mind again. It was clear there was something seriously wrong with the woman. It might have to do with the director as well. He whistled a tune as he walked into Fashion Factor, putting a reminder on his phone to pick up his ruined suit from the dry cleaner after work.As he was doing that, another text popped up on his phone from Bella.“What time does your shift end?” Ron thought long and hard, she was referring to his job as a security guard because she didn’t know he was part of the PR department yet.He glanced at the security department and noticed that one of
