Chapter 118 Katrina's Strategy
last update2024-09-04 06:24:59

Katrina thought for a moment and made her decision.

"Grandma, if you're worried about the situation with the Vasconcelos family—"

"There is no 'if', I will always be worried!" Althea corrected her sternly.

Katrina caught her breath. "OK, then James and I will go to the LCN Group today to try again."

Althea suddenly smiled, hopeful. "Oh, my granddaughter, would you do that for your old grandmother? I still believe that you and James wouldn't be turned down if given the chance to present your project!"

Katrina felt the same way.

It was never about Katrina and James getting their project rejected.

They never got the chance to present it!

Before it was their turn, Frank Ross was fired in that melodramatic fashion.

Katrina had never come to terms with that.

To add insult to injury, Briana was the big winner when Katrina had no idea she was working at Glamour.

Thinking about this, Katrina wondered, "Glamour isn't thinking about stepping out of its comfort zone in fashion and investing in te

    James and Katrina parked next to a ten-year-old Chevrolet, obviously in need of repairs or headed for the junkyard. "Jeez, whose car is that? Or do I really need to ask?” James teased as they got out. "Definitely Mark's car," Katrina smirked. "Looks like my cousin has some sense not to throw money away on him." James laughed heartily. There's still hope for him to make a move... If Briana isn't completely enchanted by Mark's toned body, he might finally win her over! The almost obsessive thought of having Briana in his arms was so strong that he had to disguise an erection in his pants as he passed through the entrance turnstile. Katrina identified herself to the receptionists, "If you read the newspapers, I'm Katrina Vasconcelos Ross and that's my husband." "Do you have an appointment?" "What kind of question is that? Do I need to show my ID? What a plebeian thing!" The receptionist huffed and let the turnstile spin. If these two cause problems, it won't be her fault. It's

    "MARK! We need to talk today!" Mark simply lifted his head to look at the crazy couple. He furrowed his brow because he was taking the opportunity to check all matters related to his true identity. For example, there was some activities within the Alvarez family, a troublemaking family involved in dubious dealings in the underworld of Blue Cove. But this couple of his wife's cousins interrupted his concentration! With a mouse click, Mark quickly switched back to Glamour's financial spreadsheets. James saw the mouse movement and smirked maliciously. "What's up? Did we interrupt you while you were looking at naked women's websites?" James quickly leaned in closer to the computer to spy on the monitor, only to see spreadsheets. "Oh, nice disguise!" James wouldn't give up. Katrina shook her head. "That's typical of uneducated, trashy men like you, Mark! Does Briana know you have this disgusting habit?" "Disgusting is you even assuming I do something like that without knowing me

    Mark looked at James with disdain and contempt. "What are you looking at, dude?" "How dare you... HOW DARE YOU?" James didn't know how to react. He wanted to jump on Mark, but he feared he would get beaten to a pulp by the pauper. But how could he endure getting slapped by someone he considers inferior? That slap was as strong as a brass knuckle punch! It almost felt like one of his teeth got loose... Mark continued to glare dangerously at James. "Let me see if I got this straight: you two invade the office, looking for Briana to probe and try to snoop about the project she has with the LCN Group—" "That's not true!" Katrina tried to cover up. Mark remained unbothered, "And when you saw I was here, you started to insult me for no reason, and I should just stay quiet? You really don't know how to behave in society, do you? Or do you think we're all your servants?" James snorted with rage like a Spanish bull. Katrina felt she was wasting her time. "Come on, dear!

    Inside Glamour, an employee walked down the hallway with a look of uncertainty. He was wearing a parking uniform. Upon encountering Adrian walking in the opposite direction, the employee decided to open up to him. "Mr. Curtis!" Adrian could have walked right past, but because the employee was someone of a lower position, he stopped, thinking of the past glory when his father was at the company. "Yes?" "We captured something on the surveillance cameras, and there's real evidence in the parking lot." The employee scratched his head. "Please, tell me what it was. I'll inform management immediately," Adrian said, although inside he had other plans. If he could solve this problem on his own, perhaps the other employees would see him as capable and qualified to be the manager, just like his father was... So, he walked with the young parking attendant to the booth. Inside, one of the computers was being used to display the selected recording. "Look at this, Mr. Curtis. These people

    Group LCN, 2:55 PM. Briana, feeling more energetic and recovered, walked through the lobby with a confident and smiling demeanor. People passing by greeted her with reverence, knowing who she was. "Look, it's Miss Vasconcelos!" "What 'Miss'? She just got married, you obtuse!" "But nobody knows her husband, and she still makes headlines with her maiden name." "Good afternoon, Manager Vasconcelos!" Briana responded to everyone with a smile or a nod. As she approached the front desk, the receptionists didn't even dare to ask for identification or pose for a photo, nor did they hand over that embarrassing and eye-catching visitor badge. "Manager Vasconcelos, please proceed to floor 119." "Wow, that's high..." Briana felt a bit dizzy. The Glamour building didn't even have 30 floors... Luckily, she wouldn't see the ascent, protected by the elevator. As the elevator ascended without delay to the indicated floor, Briana held her folder with her projects. While she was resting in

    Briana and Susana were negatively surprised by this piece of information. What does this mean? Wasn't it clear that they lost the selection? "The staff at the front desk didn't inform those two that the selection had ended?" Susana asked, frowning. "Well, it seems they are quite insistent. They want to speak with the new recruitment director." Susana's assistant felt she was in a difficult position. Susana shook her head. "No. They will speak with me. It seems there are people who don't settle for a 'no'." She turned to Briana, "Manager Vasconcelos, I'm sorry to cut this meeting short, but I believe you won't want to be in the same conference room as those two." Briana was startled. "Huh? Do you know something, Vice President Linz?" "Well, I was at the Rocha Events Hall and sensed the hostility. Everyone was humiliating you, thinking that your fiancé had stood you up, right?" Susana smiled dreamily, "And then the helicopters came... Very romantic!" "I still don't know how Mark

    "What does this mean?" Susana asked with slight indignation. "A binder," James replied stupidly. "I know, but what does it contain? And why are you giving it to me?" Susana still hadn't touched the binder. Katrina continued, "Vice President Linz, you said the selection had ended. But there was a misunderstanding. We didn't even get a chance to have our project evaluated." Susana began to ponder. Yes, Frank Ross had been fired and kicked out of the company just as they were waiting. She knew this because she had been properly informed by the security guards and front desk staff. Smiling, she mentioned it, "Yes, I understand. However, it's my knowledge that you arrived in time to submit the project, but for some foolish reason, you lingered in the lobby, engaging in idle conversation, thinking you could intentionally delay it because the recruitment manager was related to you." James and Katrina felt shivers down their spines. That was something they bitterly regretted! Not onl

    Meanwhile, Briana returned to Ferro House, noticing it was empty. "Mark is still working, it seems. I need to do something to celebrate." She smiled mischievously. She decided to go to the kitchen to prepare a nice dinner. With her eyes on some recipes she found online, Briana checked the ingredients in the pantry. Had Mark already done the monthly shopping? How did they end up having almost everything? If they took too long to move here, all this food would spoil... The doorbell rang. At the same time, a text message made her phone vibrate. Briana smiled, already knowing it was Luana. Upon answering her best friend, they exchanged three kisses on each cheek. "How's your glamorous life going, my friend?" Luana looked around the house, "Wow, I still can't get used to all this luxury." "You said you were going to ask Rocha Constructions to build one for you." Briana led her to the kitchen. Luana admired the ingredients for a lasagna. "Wow! Are you preparing something special

    Over at the dusty studios of Pratt Entertainment that same morning, James and Armando were eyeing Ray with suspicion. He was creeping around the space like he didn’t belong there — which he didn’t. Still, Ray flashed a goofy smile, pretending to be clueless.“Hey,” he said, shrugging, “you guys been reading too many of those son-in-law webnovels, huh?”James, clearly not in the mood, barked, “Cut the crap! You’re not even supposed to be here!”Armando chimed in, “You don’t even know what show you’re cast in.”Ray made a sweeping gesture toward the space. “Isn’t it around here?”“This was the set of Love Is the Cure,” Armando explained. “You’ve probably heard of that prime-time telenovela. We had to sell the rights just to afford groceries.”Ray gave a dramatic sigh. “Tough times. Well, now you can either buy it back or just make something new.”James’s tone was sour. “My dad’s got stacks of scripts ready to go. We don’t need relics from the past.”Ray raised his hands in surrender. “A

    At GLAMOUR headquarters, Briana pushed open the door to her office. It was empty, and she sighed softly.“Luana, you’re being missed...” she murmured to herself.Behind her, Karl appeared, dressed for once in a proper shirt and tie.“Hello, Briana.”She turned swiftly. “Karl! Where’s Luana?”Karl answered awkwardly, “She went to the police station. I’m sorry, Briana.”Briana moved toward her desk, her tone sharp. “She should be apologizing — to me, Celia, and Mary Ellen, who’s lying in a hospital bed right now.”“She lost her temper,” Karl tried to explain, voice low.“From what I’ve heard, she asked Mary Ellen if Celia was planning to sleep with you again.”Karl’s face flushed with shame. “A baseless question.”“Exactly,” Briana snapped. “That again implies it was premeditated. And knowing that the drugged coffee was meant for me, I feel personally offended that Luana’s bringing that up like it’s somehow Celia’s fault.”Her frown deepened as Karl looked away, swallowing his words.**

    Back at Vasconcelos Company, in Gilson’s office, the CEO was once again fiddling with the panels on his door, checking their alignment as if his life depended on it. Claudia sat on the couch nearby, reviewing a freshly updated list of internal changes set to affect the company.Unbeknownst to her, the very couch she sat on was the one where her supposedly faithful husband had defiled more than one assistant.“Darling,” she snapped, clearly irritated, “Forget the door for a second and listen to this!”Gilson turned, offended. “Why does no one respect my door? It has my name on it!”If people didn’t respect the CEO’s door, he reasoned, they didn’t respect the CEO.Claudia didn’t disagree. “Indeed, they don’t respect you! Look at the decisions Sandro and Nadir have made!”“Where are they, anyway?” Gilson demanded.******The answer was bouncing rhythmically beneath the covers of a king-sized bed, in Sandro’s suite. The entire bed shook with wild abandon as its two occupants — Sandro and

    Back at the Ferro House, still in the master suite, Briana set her phone down and began sponging her arms and shoulders, mulling over her father’s news.Moments later, Mark stepped into the bathroom, dressed in a sky-blue robe, gazing at her as if she were a goddess.“Good morning, my love,” he said tenderly.“Good morning. I just spoke to my father — right before my mother devoured him alive,” Briana quipped.Mark stiffened, a little embarrassed to be privy to his in-laws’ bedroom antics. “What did he say?”“They’re thinking about firing Katrina. Apparently, she finally showed her face at the mansion.”Mark sat beside the tub, running his fingers through her hair and brushing bits of foam from her skin. “You know, Katrina spent most of her time in Lagoon City spying on me. Ray Dixon showing up was like divine intervention — he distracted her.”Briana tilted her head, teasing. “It’s almost like you sent him there on purpose, sweetheart.”Mark hesitated. How could he possibly explain t

    Elsewhere, at the Pratt Entertainment building, the morning found Armando entering an abandoned studio, now cold and empty following his family’s bankruptcy — an event engineered by none other than Mark. James followed him.His eyes welled up with emotion. “I’m back, James. I’m back in the game.”“Congratulations, man,” James replied, glancing around the space with awe, his mind already spinning with creative possibilities.“Yes,” Armando nodded solemnly. “I’ve learned my lesson: no more disrespecting the wrong people.”James gestured around. “Which show was filmed here?”“This was the set of Love Is the Cure,” Armando answered.James froze. Love Is the Cure had once been a prime-time hit, eventually purchased by SBT, a rival network. In desperation, the Pratt family had sold the rights to their most successful shows, just to have something to survive on.“What a shame, buddy,” James said gently. “But now you can build new shows from scratch, right?”“Exactly. And with two of the hott

    The next morning, the grand dining room of the Vasconcelos Mansion held a calm atmosphere as Gilson and Claudia sat alone, enjoying their breakfast. That tranquility was quickly interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps echoing through the marble halls — someone was clearly in a rush.Before either of them could comment, Katrina swept into the room with a radiant smile, as though she'd just returned from a delightful vacation in Paris.“Good morning, beautiful people!” she beamed.Gilson shot up from his chair so abruptly that it scraped loudly against the floor. “Daughter!” he shouted. “Where the hell have you been?!”Katrina stopped in her tracks, startled. “What is this, Dad? Is that how you greet your beloved daughter?”“Where have you been?” he demanded, voice sharp. “Or do I even need to ask?”Caught off guard, Katrina searched for support, her eyes darting toward her mother.From Katrina’s point of view, Claudia offered no salvation — only a disapproving shake of her head.

    Back at the Glamour headquarters, in Briana’s office that same afternoon, Briana lowered her cellphone with a sigh, shaking her head.“No. Luana’s not answering,” she said.Mark stood nearby, visibly awkward. “Brie... I think I know what’s going on.”He hesitated before confessing, “I tried visiting Luana and Karl at their place, but when I got to the door... it sounded like they were in bed. I think it’s their clever little way of dodging the police and avoiding interrogation.”A flush crept up Briana’s neck.“This is ridiculous!” she snapped. “The police can break down their door if they have to!”“Well,” Mark said, rubbing the back of his neck, “Sergeant Ribeiro did say he was going to try. Luana can’t just run away like this.”“And meanwhile,” Briana added, “Ray Dixon stopped by here.”Mark’s posture stiffened. He scanned his beloved wife’s body language like a hawk.“How did he behave?” he asked carefully.“Like a gentleman,” Briana replied. “Very charming and polite. He wants to

    Elsewhere that same afternoon, in Gilson’s office, he and Claudia sat deep in discussion, brainstorming ways to save the company — and strip Sandro of any credit along the way.“We don’t just need to save the company,” Gilson said, his tone laced with rivalry. “We need to rub the victory in my hateful brother’s face.”Claudia tilted her head thoughtfully. “What if we review the existing programs and see if any deserve extra investment?”“Maybe,” Gilson said, already reaching for the phone. “Let’s interrogate the drama department. Someone must’ve left a draft lying around, or maybe there’s a series waiting for renewal.”A mischievous glint sparked in Claudia’s eyes. “If we can resurrect a show...”“Or launch a new one that outperforms Hope Alive,” Gilson added, leaning forward, the glimmer of hope returning to his face.“Where’s Katrina?” Claudia asked. “We could use her help.”Gilson threw up his hands in frustration. “Darling, if Katrina keeps up this careless, irresponsible behavior

    That afternoon in Frank’s office at Glamour Studios, the patriarch had laid a perfect trap — and James had walked right into it, like a duck waddling into a net.“Dad, you had no right!” James protested, clearly upset.“What do you mean no right?” Frank shot back. “Can’t I warn my son when he’s about to make a huge mistake?”“What mistake?” James challenged.“Reviving forbidden romances and feelings,” Frank said firmly. “You need a new girlfriend.”“I want a wife,” James snapped, his voice unwavering.Frank’s stern face broke into a grin as he stood up from behind his desk. “Wow, that’s new. So I’m finally getting grandkids to spoil?”“Maybe,” James muttered. “But don’t worry — they won’t look like Brie.”Frank’s expression hardened. “I’ll stop worrying when you stop calling her by her last name.”Just then, the door creaked open, and Ray Dixon walked in once again.“James, can I speak with you honestly?” Ray asked, his tone unusually serious.James spun around, stunned by the actor’s
