"What's up?" Mark found it funny, "Don't you think you are capable of working at that company?"Briana thought Mark was just joking with her and smiled, "Oh, you clown! Of course, I think I am qualified, but you're forgetting two points.""Tell me." Mark sat on his bed."First, it's about that horrible place where I had a hard time... both of us did." Briana enumerated, extending her fingers, "Second, the guy who works there..."Mark shook his head. "No, dear. Didn't I tell you earlier that that matter was resolved?"Briana narrowed her eyes. "Mr. Curtis... Was he fired?""Exactly." Mark nodded."How is that possible? A man of his position... I thought you told me he was scolded, but... fired?" Briana could hardly believe it.She wanted to sue Glamour and Anthony Curtis for all the disrespect she went through.It turns out justice has been served!Briana stared at Mark. She remembered that Mark did indeed mention something as they got into the car to go to the Vasconcelos Mansion.Did
Briana quickly adapted to the new company environment, impressing many with her competence as general manager.Of course, some employees like Mary Ellen were not at all pleased with the new manager, but because of the recent decisions made by the Board, she didn't want to risk expressing how she felt.Mary Ellen still couldn't forget or understand how the Board had appointed Mark Ferro, a janitor, to be the interim manager before Briana was hired...Briana, on the other hand, showed skill and authority.The gossip and time-wasting that employees were accustomed to stopped.More dismissals were applied to prevent 'rotten apples' from contaminating the rest. Gisléne refused to cooperate and was one of those dismissed.Meanwhile, under Mark’s orders, the LCN Group made a big announcement.On Monday, he, Briana, and her parents were having breakfast.Briana kept up with the news on her tablet."Look, folks! The LCN Group will receive a visit from the president!""I thought the president w
While Linda drove towards the LCN group headquarters, Mark scratched his chin, thinking about the next steps to take.He intended to give Glamour exclusivity in terms of fashion and celebrity behavior.The next movie and television productions would feature Glamour promotion and consultation, benefiting Briana as the person responsible for this contract.However, to ensure this, Mark would need to resolve an issue with Frank Ross, the father of James Ross, Katrina Vasconcelos's fiancé, and the project manager of the group.Rumors circulated among some businessmen that the LCN group's project and collaboration department was extremely unjust and corrupt.No matter how good and profitable someone's proposal was: if they were not 'friends' with the project manager or did not pay a bribe, no deal was made.The agreement that the Vasconcelos family boasted of achieving was certainly possible with Frank pulling the strings.The car arrived at the entrance to the LCN headquarters. The buildi
Mark turned to them and said sarcastically, "Look at the other businessmen, they're all going in to talk to the project manager. Aren’t you too unwise to stay behind and miss your chance?"Katrina and James exchanged malicious glances.James raised his chin, "A fool like you can never understand! We're not in a hurry to go in because my father, Frank Ross, is the project manager at LCN!"So, even if all these idiots camp out in the parking lot to try to be first in line, the project my father will pay attention to is my fiancée's!"Katrina proudly held up her head at James's words and then asked disdainfully, "Hey, where is your lowly wife?"Mark sneered. "That it's not any of your business.""Well, even if you don’t say, I can still imagine how she's putting resumes around town, begging for a job and being turn down again and again!" Katrina laughed scornfully."I feel really sorry for Briana. She had no wisdom in choosing a husband worthy of her." James sneered.Mark looks at James
Mark remained with his arms crossed, closely observing this pair of fools.Was it for them that the project manager intended to approve their proposal?Mark even suspected that, without Briana around, if Grandma Vasconcelos handed over the reins of the company to Katrina, Vasconcelos Company would go bankrupt!James intervened sarcastically, "I have to correct you, my dear. This beggar is INDEED a criminal. His crime is wasting our oxygen!"Katrina glances at James. "That's why I'm giving the janitor a chance to redeem himself."If he manages to improve my mood, we can even talk to your father to let him have the janitor job."Katrina's mocking gaze and laughter revealed her true stance.James yelled at Mark, "Are you listening, janitor? Kneel before my girl!"Having had enough, Mark decided to end the conversation with an icy tone."Don't worry if I get a job or not. Unlike you, I can handle things on my own."Furthermore, if I were you, I wouldn't rely so much on the cunning and pow
"Lord Ferro, what explanation will we give Frank Ross regarding his dismissal?"Mark sneers, "Tell him he and his son offended people they shouldn't have."Besides, these arbitrary decisions Mr. Ross made regarding which projects to take on are reason enough for him to never get a manager's job in the entire kingdom of Aurelia again!"Susana understood the mission and was quick to execute them.Meanwhile, James and Katrina were very confident in the waiting room along with other business people and representatives from different companies, eager to form some collaboration.Behind a glass door was the living room of the famous Frank Ross.The door opened and a not-so-attractive businesswoman with glasses came out with a frown, showing that her proposal had been rejected."Next!" Frank shouted.Frank met James' gaze and they both blinked rapidly.James whispered to Katrina, "I told you, honey! Our project is going to pass with flying colors."Katrina leaned over to her fiancé and smiled
Security guards entered the office of a reluctant Frank Ross who refused to come out from behind his desk."Who called these gorillas? I demand to speak to Susana Linz! She owes me an explanation!"How can I be fired after so many contracts I've approved?"“You mean all those rubbish contracts you've approved so far? Well, they’re all useless, and evidence of bribing are all listed here." The executive said, throwing a file at Frank’s feet.Frank was shaking with rage and grinding his teeth, but he couldn't refute all the accusations.The worst of all is that, upon realizing that the double glass door was open, everyone who was still in the waiting room heard everything!Even his son and his fiancée!The other businessmen who were waiting their turn began to express their indignation."What a shame! We were being cheated this whole time!""I'm glad the President came here to clean up this mess!""I prepared myself so well to be tricked in this game of marked cards at the end of the st
Inside the Vasconcelos mansion, Gilson and Claudia, Katrina's parents, and Grandma Althea were talking in the living room.Everyone had smiling faces, waiting for Katrina and James to just appear to announce the victory.Before they appeared, Gilson grabbed a cup of tea and raised it to the ceiling, "A toast! To the Vasconcelos Company!""Cheers!" The others exclaimed, raising their cups high, laughing heartily.After sips, Claudia sighed, "Ah, how good it feels to be on the winning side!"Althea squinted her eyes, "Claudia, is this...?""Yes, it's Nadir's pearl necklace!" Claudia responded, giggling disdainfully.Gilson looked at the entrance to the living room, "Where are they? Did they go out to a restaurant and celebrate?"Claudia shook her head, "Without giving us the news? No. They would have sent a message."Althea shrugged, "Calm down, you two! Victory is already assured. Let's update our status in Aurelia's society."Gilson gestures, putting the cup on the saucer, "Guys, I he
