“Why am I even wasting so much time with you? I made a big mistake hiring you in the first place”.
Jane squat on the floor and held the edge of her dress as she pleaded with her.
“You didn't make a mistake, please don't fire me like this, I need the money to take of my family ”.
“How is that even my problem? If you were desperately so in need of the money. then, you would stay in your rightful place but you decided to go about ruining things for me.”
“I didn't mean to be a hurdle in your way, but you were not doing the right thing either, Miss Medina, your son did nothing wrong to deserve the treatment you melted out on him ”.
“I'm warning you, stay off my business, and don't you ever try to turn my son against me, otherwise I will have your hands chopped off immediately. One more thing, nobody should know about what happened here today” She pointed her index finger right at Jane's face as she yell out a stern warning with her face crushed in anger.
“But ma'am, you shouldn't.......”
“Take the child away to your room and keep your mouth shut”.
“Please listen......”
“Leave right now!” She warned in a stern tone and Jane was left hanging, she had no choice but to leave the room immediately without saying a word.
Just as Jane was about to take Jordan away from the room, Danica's phone suddenly ring.
She picked up and moved to the window, she turn around one more time to see Jane standing behind her without moving a muscle so she glared at her intently.
Jane forcefully took a step forward.
“Hello, Miss Danica, I just found out the details of the designer you sent to me and I can assure you, it's all good”.
“Thank God, you are here to relieve my stress. I can't believe how much pain I'm going through because of that wench”.
“Are you alright, Miss Medina?” The voice from the other side was kind and helpful as she asked.
It was Jane. Jane was Danica's real assistant. However, she was sent away on a business trip by Danica a few months back.
“How can I be alright? This troublesome woman is driving me nuts. I want you to come back as soon as possible, so I can send her back to where she belongs”. Danica flared up as she narrate her ordeal.
“Don't you worry, Miss Medina, I'll come back immediately the job is done”.
“You better hurry up with that and return as soon as possible. I can't handle everything on my own”
“Alright Miss Medina, I'll keep you posted about the turnout of the meeting here ”
“Fine!”
With that, she ended the call.
She looked around the place in disgust. Suddenly, she burst into hysterical laughter as she recalled the event of the day.
“Why haven't I thought of this before? I should have come up with a plan like this to get that woman to be my designer but no, I was busy chasing after some imaginary hosts. Thank goodness, everything turned out well and I was able to convince her to become my designer with my pitiful story. I can't believe she fell for it so easily, I had thought that she would be a hard nut to crack but she turned to be nothing like I expected. “ She took a sip from the glass of wine in her hand as she paced around the room with her shoulder pads held high in the sky.
She felt victorious as she was able to convince a woman like Erica Burnett to work for her without facing so much difficulty.
In the past few months, she has been trying to get the Secretary to set up a meeting with her but it was to no avail and a single meeting solved the mystery–doesn't that sound too good to be true.
it does sound too good.
“That silly child isn't just worthless like I had thought he was. All of this was only possible because of him, at least he has something potential to help me out with my problems, I should keep him close at this point.
She looked at the wristwatch, Then she dropped the glass of wine on the table and quickly rushed into the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Bethany just got to the junction that led to the department stores when suddenly she saw a few people coming behind her–upon seeing the shadows right behind her, she was alerted but she maintained her composure and walked slowly.
While she was on thing, the phone in her vibrated and she picked up the call with a smooth composition.
“Miss Burnett, they are a few people coming after you. Should I come at them? ”
It was a call from her bodyguard, Jacob, he always follows her around along with other minions but he didn't dare to show himself to others without her consent. That's why he called to get her permission first before coming at the hooligans.
“Don't you dare do anything like that, do you hear me?” Bethany whispered in a low voice.
“But Miss, they are carrying dangerous weapons......”
“I said, don't.......”
She ended the call abruptly even before Jacob could have a chance to refute.
After that, Bethany mentally prepares herself for what's coming her way.
In a few seconds, someone threw something at her from behind and it landed right on her head.
She staggered vigorously and turned around to see the men, who had already formed a circle walking toward her with malicious expressions on their faces.
Bethany looked at them with blurry eyes as her hands were pinned to the area where the object had hit her at the time, soon enough, blood started oozing out of the place and her eyes became gloomy and she struggled to keep her stand.
Her eyes became dim and her vision started getting blurry–It seems like she couldn't keep up with time as she was losing her grip on herself–in the next splitting second, she fell floor while still trying to keep her eyes open.
Seeing this scene, Jacob was so tense that he couldn't control his movement any longer as he reluctantly got down from the car and was about to go help her out when he saw the silhouette of a tall, lean figure standing a few steps away from him.
It was Zayn!
what was he doing here? is that he was responsible for this?
Seeing him walk over to the scene, Jacob stopped in his tracks when he saw him lift his hands to stop the next attack on Bethany.
Zayn struggled with the man, who was holding the weapon, and in the next few minutes, he defeated him. Then, he soon lashed out at him, he beat him mercilessly until he was bleeding from every corner of his body–seeing this sight, the rest of them ran away leaving him to his fate.
Zayn was so out of control that he continued to beat the guy until he was almost breathless, he never had any intention of letting him escape alive in the first place, but upon hearing a groaning sound from Bethany, he was forced to look back at the lifeless body of Bethany–Who was in the pool of her blood.
While at it, his assistant, Gael, soon rushed over as he tried to check Bethany's pulse.
Due to this, Zayn was so distracted that the hooligan got a chance to loosen the tight grip on him and ran away even though he was groaning in pain while running away.
Zayn wanted to run after him but Gael called out to him.
“Sir, Miss Quest is not in a good condition, let's take her to the hospital first,” Gael said as looked back at him with an expectant gaze.
Hearing this, Zayn was weakened in his knees and his resolve to go after the hooligan quickly died down as the only thing on his mind was just Bethany.
“We should take her to the hospital. She's losing a lot of blood” Gael suggested once again.
Zayn squat down and crossed over Bethany as he didn't know what to do right now.
“Get the doctor to come to the house right now” He shouted when his gaze fell on the bloody face of the woman.
“But........” Gael wanted to refute the location of the woman's house when his eyes fell on the angry gaze of his boss, so he quickly closed his mouth as he went aside to make the call.
Bethany, on the other hand, struggled to keep her eyes open as the shadow of the man fell over her.
When Zayn noticed that she was going to say something but didn't have the voice to say it, he quickly put his hand behind her back and under her legs as he lifted her into her arms.
“I'll take you home right now and the doctor's on his way,” Zayn said in a cool voice as he couldn't bring himself to look straight into her eyes.
“Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Meyer,” Bethany said apologetically before she finally closed her eyes in slumber.
Had she not been so weak and weary, she would have refused his gestures. However, right now she was in no condition to walk and she didn't even plan to do so in the first place.
Moreover, no cab would agree to carry a half-dead person.
Zayn simply scooped her into his arms and headed out toward the parking lot.
The scene was so romantic as the two if they look like a loved-up couple on a romantic date–it was so ecstatic to watch.
By some bushes beside the road to the parking lot, a man with a camera soon recognized Zayn, who was carrying a beautiful woman, and they seems to be in love with each other–he noticed that they were walking towards a car, seeing this sight, he eagerly pulled out his camera from the bag and immediately he started taking pictures of this moment.
The position was so eye-catching that anyone would believe that there was really something illegal going on between them. However, it was not the truth as Bethany was in a deep slumber since she had fainted earlier.
After taking the pictures, the man smiled unwittingly.
“This should fetch me a few million dollars”
