CHAPTER 39: I MESSED WITH THE DEVIL
The ray of sunlight hitting my face made me groan from my sleep and I almost cursed out loud but I felt a banging headache and I wonder why.
I tried to pry open my eyes but the room brightness almost blinded me so, I tried opening them slowly. My vision is still blurry when my vision gets clearer. The memory of how I got drunk yesterday set in, and another banging headache kicked in.
“OMG what’s this ? I didn’t know that the wine was going to be that strong, “I said in my groggy voice and I felt my throat glued up. I heard a knock on my door and the person walked.
“Good morning ma’am Miss Peller says I should give you this so that it’s going to get rid of your hangover,” Tara says, handing me water and a pill and I collect it from her.
“Tara, did you know how I got back to last night? I don’t seem to remember anything, “I asked and she told me Bradley brought me in, hearing Bradley’s name gives me the feeling that I am forgetting something important but I brushed it off.
I decided to take another nap since I am still having some headaches but my phone chose that time to ring.
“Hello, good morning Gina I am sorry to disturb you but can you come to the company today because you already have a job waiting for you”Manager Janice explained and I could sense some excitement in her voice so, I told her I will be there in a minute.
I quickly get myself into the bathroom even though I almost tripped because of my unstable leg. Getting into the bathroom I looked at myself in the mirror and all I can say is Horrible, my face looks like a character of a walking ghost.
I decided to take a bath and I put on the shower and then a flick of memory appeared before me. “Let’s open it for you, “Gina says, dragging Bradley’s shirt, and when Bradley snatched his shirt from her hand she already started fumbling with Bradley’s trouser zip.
“Will you stop it Gina” Bradley yelled
That’s the scene I remembered and I immediately wanted to give up the ghost because what the hell is that but I decided to hurry up with my bath so I could meet up with Manager Janice.
Getting into my room I decided to get dressed but I asked Tara instead because I don’t even have the strength to start jolting between clothes.
“Are you ok ma’am you look like you just see a ghost?” Tara says but the phrase “Look” got me thinking it’s like I have a scene like that but I don’t remember.. that’s when I make a mental note to myself “don’t drink again Gina unless you are dying”.
“I am done with your outfit selection ma’am” I heard Tara and when I looked at it I could say Tara’s fashion sense is starting to get better she selected a blue jean, pink crop top, a bluejacket, t, and black boots so, I decided to get dressed than start troubling my already troubled head to remember what happened last night.
BRADLEY’S POV
The Hale group conference room is filled with different board members and also workers and they are all discussing some of the group projects.
“I think we should let director Jayden handle the new Mall project” one of the board members suggested and some of the board members immediately supported that even children will realize that they are in cahoots.
“Why should I give it to him?”Bradley asked with a cold voice and the boardroom quieted down.
“He is his your cousin and he has also been doing well these past months so, I don’t think there is a reason why he shouldn’t handle the project,” Will Hale says after a long time of weighing the pros and cons of going against Bradley but since his son have been doing great for a while he thinks it’s not going to be a problem.
“So, you mean a fraudster that embezzled the company’s money should handle that kind of project,” Bradley says and the boardroom turns into an uproar over the accusation against Jayden Hale.
“What…. do… you … mean”, Will Hale asked stuttering but Bradley just smirked wickedly at him without replying.
“I know someone of you have the right source where you get information from so, I don’t think I have to elaborate on what I just said also anyone on the board or in the company that is capable can also handle the project it shouldn’t be a family project, “I say and I saw the desired reactions I wanted from the board members and that’s exactly what I wanted because how could my uncle think of getting allies among the board.
“Sir director Kim said they are having issues with the new product launch so, I think you might have to take a flight there today”assistant Jack started reporting to Bradley immediately after they left the boardroom.
“What exactly could be wrong with the launching? I already have so much trouble to take care of, “Bradley says through gritted teeth assistant Jack didn’t understand him a bit but he didn’t ask anyways.
“Book me the next flight to Lans, “I say walking to my office.
“I am going to deal with you when I am back as a kitten , so you better wait patiently for your punishment”.
GEORGINA’S POV
“Achoo” I sneezed and I wondered if I caught a cold or if someone was talking behind my back.
“Are you ok ma’am did you catch a cold? “Johnny asked but I told him that I was fine.
After Johnny dropped me in front of TH entertainment I walked into the building but this time I didn’t draw any attention to myself because I am wearing sunglasses and also a mask. I don’t want to attract bad luck like the other day.
“I am sorry I called you on short notice and you are here but it’s just that you are so popular that ever since we release an article about you joining our agency so many advertisements has been rolling in”Manager Janice started apologizing immediately I entered her office and I wonder if she is the legendary cold Manager Janice I have heard a lot about.
“I think I should be thanking you for being a good manager”.
“So, we are going to sign the advertisement contract today, are you ready?”.
“Of course I am but can I ask which company is hiring me?”.
“Ohh Dali beauty….” she was saying but she was interrupted by her secretary telling her that the car taking us to Dali beauty company is ready. We both went to Dali beauty and we got the contract signed.
“Wow I am so happy to meet the GG of showbiz”a young man walks into the room and I could say I have never seen a man dress so stylish before.
“I am very sure you are amazed by my appearance. I got that a lot. I’m the CEO of Dali beauty. My name is Donald Dali.”
“Nice meeting you and you look so cool with many colors,” I say and you could also sense the excitement on my face. The man was so happy that I complimented him that he invited me and Manager Janice for lunch but we declined and we were given the schedule for the ad shoot.
“I think it’s high time we start looking for an assistant for you because I think I will be swamped with different projects for you and since I am managing other artists it’s going to be hard staying on track,” Manager Janice says while we were walking out of Dali building and I told her that she should not worry that I got it covered when I remembered Kira.
“Wow the investment is so big” I heard one of the workers saying and a memory flashed through my eyes.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Wow let me see if it’s big or not, “I said while fumbling with Bradley’s trousers.
“What was that?” I screamed and a lot of people looked at me but I was grateful that I was wearing sunglasses and also a mask so the people didn’t know it was me.
“What’s wrong Gina,” my Manager asked but I told her that I am fine and we decided to part ways since I don’t have anything to do for the day.
I fumbled through my bag and after I saw my phone I called Johnny to pick me up and then I called Olivia.
“Hi best, did you have any exclusivity for me?”I heard Olivia’s voice from the other side of the phone.
“What should I do? Ollie , I think I am in trouble”.
“What have you done this time?”Olivia asked, panicking.
“I think I might have messed with the devil”…
