Chapter 385 Did You Get Close to Other Men?
Brady's harsh words made the hallway go dead silent, the only sound left was everyone’s nervous breathing. No one dared to make a peep, scared stiff of ticking off the big boss and getting canned.
"Mr. Hall, I'm really sorry for the mess at the media conference today. It was all a big misunderstanding," Max said, trying to sound as careful as possible.
Brady didn't even bother to look at Max. He wasn't about to mix business with personal stuff. "I want to hear from Ms. DeVere about what happened today," he said.
The second Brady said he only wanted to talk to Violet, everyone let out a breath they didn't know they were holding.
They were all terrified of getting called out by Brady and getting chewed out.
Anyway, it was all Fanny's fault, and they hadn't done anything to Violet.
So the female designers felt a wave of relief, while Fanny looked like she was about to explode. She was scared Violet would rat her out. Brady seemed like the kind of guy who'd be fair; if he believed Violet, would he really fire Fanny?
So, in front of everyone, Fanny tried to get ahead of it and walked over to Brady, ready to complain first. But before she could open her mouth, Brady cut her off, "Fanny, I heard what you said to Ms. DeVere just now. If it wasn't an accident or slander, shouldn't you be apologizing to her right now?"
Fanny was floored, her face going pale as a ghost.
She stared at Brady in shock, like she'd been struck by lightning. 'Mr. Hall wants me to apologize in front of everyone?'
"If you are not planning to apologize, then I will have to let you go," Brady said, his voice cold as ice.
Fanny was instantly terrified. She hadn't locked down her deal with EU yet. If she got fired now, EU would definitely think twice about hiring her. Fanny didn't want to risk it, so she looked at Brady with a mix of fear and anger.
After a moment of internal struggle, Fanny had no choice but to bow her head and apologize to Violet, who was standing nearby. "Ms. DeVere, I'm sorry for what happened today. Can you forgive me?"
Fanny bowed her head, looking totally defeated, while the other designers watched in shock.
Fanny felt utterly humiliated but had no other choice.
She kept apologizing.
Violet had no intention of letting Fanny off the hook because this wasn't the first time Fanny had caused trouble. She saw no reason to be soft-hearted and forgive Fanny, so she said firmly, "I'm sorry, I don't accept. This incident has had a significant impact on me, and a simple apology won't cut it. I won't accept it unless you personally clear this up with the media."
When Violet spoke with such confidence, Brady, watching from the side, felt a strange sense of admiration.
He thought that his woman was indeed not to be messed with.
"Ms. DeVere, I..." Fanny hesitated. How could she possibly do that? Clearing up the situation would be an admission of her own wrongdoing. So, Fanny felt even more resentful towards Violet, though she dared not show it.
Violet continued, "You won't agree? Then I won't let it go."
Brady also chimed in, "I support Ms. DeVere's decision. This will serve as an example for JK. If such internal conflicts happen again, I won't be lenient."
"And if Fanny is unwilling, she doesn't need to participate in tomorrow's show," Brady added.
Hearing this, Fanny couldn't stay calm any longer. She panicked and quickly said, "Mr. Hall, I am willing to clarify."
"In that case, the rest of you can go back to work," Brady said coldly.
The designers didn't dare to stick around and quickly left. Max felt the same and went to work on the show with them.
Fanny bit her lip, feeling utterly humiliated, and stood there for a while before leaving.
Now, only Violet and Brady were left in the hallway. Brady looked at her with intense eyes and said, "Come with me."
Violet didn't want to have too much interaction with Brady in such a public place, but considering he had backed her up today, she followed him to an office at the end of the hallway.
The office was empty, with no one around.
Violet followed Brady inside, and as soon as the door closed, the man suddenly hugged her, pressing her against the door, his voice low. "Did you get close to another man in the dressing room today?"
