Chapter 804 We Can’t Fire Him
Briana strode with determined steps into her domain, in the offices of Glamour, with her expression fierce. She found Karl lounging at Luana’s desk, the young fiancée nestled comfortably on his lap. They laughed softly together until Briana’s stormy presence silenced them.“Brie, what’s wrong?” Luana asked, blinking at the sudden change of atmosphere.“We need to speak, all of us,” Briana said, her voice clipped. She shut the door behind her with a resonant thud, advancing toward them like a general on the march.Karl raised an eyebrow, unfazed. “Some sort of problem?”“There will be,” Briana retorted, “when Jake Brett accuses Glamour of wrongful termination and creates a scandal online.”Karl rolled his eyes, dismissive. “So the coward has gone to complain as if he were still in grade school?”“Karl!” Briana’s exasperation burst forth. “Since when is speaking out against injustice a sign of immaturity? Should Jake Brett remain silent while you harass him without pause?”At Karl’s nud
Chapter 803 Claudia Has Her Own Assistant
At the very same time, in the refined restaurant frequented by the elite of Glamour, Briana and Mark sat over lunch, the air between them brittle with unspoken accusations.“And so?” Briana asked coldly. “Are you going to do anything to stop Celia from once again becoming the ‘main attraction’ for the men in suits?”Mark kept his eyes on his plate, his fork moving deliberately. “I cannot force anyone. Celia accepted their offer to return.”The contradiction struck Briana like a slap. Her fork clattered against the porcelain as she leaned back, crossing her arms, her posture radiating indignation. When Mark finally looked up, he saw her like a sulking adolescent, furious at the world.“Are you serious?” she demanded.“Darling, what is happening with you?” he asked, genuinely baffled.Her expression darkened. “That’s not the answer you gave Jake.”His head snapped up, his face paling. “Jake?”“I heard you,” she pressed, her voice trembling with both anger and betrayal. “I heard you talk
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
