Chapter 802 Celia Is No Victim
Once seated, Celia noticed the contrast between their plates. His was dominated by greens, vegetables, and fruit, while hers was laden with the heavier delights she had dared to keep.“Let’s begin,” Gilson said smoothly. “Both with the meal — and the interview.”Celia cleared her throat, determined to hold her composure. “Mr. Vasconcelos, how have you been since your heart attack?”His features softened at her concern. “Much better, thank you, Miss Soares. May I call you Celia?”Her smile brightened, gentle but edged with playfulness. “You’ll be my employer. You may call me whatever you wish.”A nervous grin flickered across Gilson’s lips as he murmured his thanks. It was fortunate, he thought privately, that he was seated — fortunate that the tablecloth hid the sudden, irrepressible stir of desire beneath his elegant suit.******Elsewhere, in the same restaurant where many from the Glamour offices often lunched, Briana sat at a table across from her husband. She seemed distant, her
Chapter 801 Help Us, Mark Ferro
Jake strode down the corridor with a thunderous expression, his jaw set as if he were preparing for battle.Karl had remained behind, giving Jake the opportunity to confront Mark alone.Employees who crossed his path quickly lowered their heads, unwilling to engage with the fury etched across his face. Without hesitation, he pushed through the door of Mark Ferro’s office and disappeared inside.Moments later, Briana walked the same corridor, her heart alight with joy at the thought of preparing the baby’s room.She was on her way to share the news with her husband, already imagining how their lunch together would be colored with happy plans.Her hand reached for the brass handle of the office door when a voice — sharp, angry, and almost venomous — rang out from within.“You promised you would help us, Manager Ferro!” Jake’s tone cracked through the air like a whip.Briana froze, startled. Instead of entering, she pressed her back against the doorframe, her pulse quickening. She remain
Chapter 800 A Job Interview Turned Into a Lunch
Karl’s fury reached its peak when Jake hurled the script in his face. It didn’t hurt, of course, but the gesture carried all the venom and disrespect the actor harbored toward the supervisor of ‘Times of Glory’.“Do you want to be fired, or are you begging for dismissal with cause?” Karl asked, his tone sharp, almost menacing.“You don’t have the power for that!” Jake shot back, defiant.Karl narrowed his eyes. “Do you really want to test your luck?”The younger man bent to gather the scattered pages, his hands trembling with indignation. “This is absurd! Celia was forced out for reasons that had nothing to do with the company, and now you want to pull the same stunt with me?”“You’re not indispensable to Glamour,” Karl replied coldly. “Your character can die in ‘Times of Glory,’ or we can replace you in the blink of an eye.”Jake sneered. “Recasting actors? That’s so… soap opera.”Karl’s expression darkened. “Show some respect for the series you work on. You see? You’ve just handed m
Chapter 799 Going Back to The Company She Fled
“If you are intent on starting a war before she even sets foot inside the building,” Gilson muttered, “I hardly know how to respond. Sandro will soon be buzzing demands in my ear, and I, lately, have been making every effort to avoid unnecessary stress.”Claudia groaned and dragged her hands down her face in frustration. “Oh, so now you’ll use your heart condition as an excuse to shirk your duty as CEO?”“And what exactly is that duty, according to you?”“To keep that tramp from reintegrating herself into this company, and—”She was cut short by the sharp ring of Gilson’s desk phone. The piercing sound shattered the air like a gavel. Relieved by the interruption, Gilson snatched the receiver with visible eagerness, as if even the most tedious business call were preferable to his wife’s tirade.“Presidency,” he said curtly.“Hello, CEO Vasconcelos,” came the receptionist’s voice on the line. “Miss Celia Soares is here in the lobby. She says she has a job interview scheduled.”“Send her
Chapter 798 The Baby’s Nursery
“Wait,” Luana said slowly. “I thought Celia had left Vasconcelos in something close to a panic?”Briana reacted very still, her eyes narrowing.“My mother told me Uncle Gilson and Aunt Claudia were sexually exploiting the lower-level employees there,” she thought. “And Celia was one of Uncle Sandro’s mistresses, according to the same story…”Aloud, she asked, “How did they manage to get in touch with Celia so quickly?”Mark’s reply was bitter. “It seems they haven’t forgotten the good old days when they forced her to work ‘overtime.’”Luana threw her head back and laughed uproariously, caring nothing for Celia’s fate.To her, the idea of Celia returning to serve once more as a plaything for the suited men of Vasconcelos — even for Gilson himself — was nothing short of hilarious.******At Ferro House, Regis led Sandro and Nadir into a spacious, unused room. Nadir’s throat tightened when she noticed the detail that set her heart racing: the room had its own balcony, overlooking the poo
Chapter 797 Closing Another Chapter
Mark took a deep breath, uncertain of what else to do.Celia seized the silence, bent over the papers, and signed with renewed speed, determined to finish before Mark could try anything reckless.“I already received a call from Katrina,” she said as she signed. “My position is still available at Vasconcelos.”Mark exploded. “You’re going back to the company where they ‘used’ you over and over again?”Celia bit her lower lip, a shiver of longing running through her at the memory of the ruthless nights she had spent with the suited men at Vasconcelos.“I’m no longer your business,” she said with a shrug. “Focus on your pregnant wife.”He wanted to say more, but the weight of Gene’s presence forced him into silence.Celia signed the last page and rose with solemn composure, as though closing another chapter in her cycle of depravity.*******Meanwhile, in Jake’s dressing room, the actor sat at his vanity, reciting lines from his script.Yet the words blurred together in front of him, the
