Chapter 29 - Getting A Job

Mimi frowned as she looked at the delivery truck from the famous restaurant. She had wanted to order from there but was told they were out of stock for her request. She chuckled and turned to Alice, ''that truck didn't come from you, right?''

Alice raised her brows at Mimi and smiled before walking away towards the tables and chairs that were been arranged, she went to Director Zou and said to him, ''Director Zou, you didn't rest since we came and started filming. The crew have been working hard and the actors too must be tired. This is a little love I want to share with everyone. The weather is already draining all our energy, we should take a rest and gain strength from the meal''

As soon as Alice said that, the staff and other actors and actresses left the coffee and desserts that Mimi had bought and rushed to take their seats on the chairs and tables provided.

Seeing how her coffee and desserts were being thrown away, Mimi looked at Alice with a deadly gaze as she cussed, ''that bitch!!''

Mikael Sun sat at his hut quietly enjoying the show. He looked at his assistant who was sitting beside him and said, ''Brian, do you know, when two girls are out to destroy each other, there is nothing that can get in their way?''

''Looking at them especially Alice makes me happy that I am not her enemy. She is scary'' Brian had to admit that Alice really took her revenge seriously and he didn't want to ever become a victim of hers.

''Exactly. She is just cute'' Mikael chuckled.

''But, I don't understand. Why are you helping her?''

''You know, even when a kid no longer wants an old toy, he still doesn't want to see someone else play with it''

''I don't understand''

''Mimi Song wants to use me to destroy my brother's wife. You know what I hate the most in the world is being used. Besides, Natalie and Alice Jun are like old toys that I don't need but it doesn't mean I will let anyone mess with them. anyone who mess with them must answer to me first''

''I see''

''Mimi crossed the line by speaking ill of my brother's wife and using the internet against her. No matter what, she is a part of my family and no one messes with my family'' Mikael turned towards Alice and noticed her grinning from ear to ear while Mimi foamed in anger and stormed out of the set.

CITY M.

JANICE JEWELLERY.

VP's OFFICE.

Amy knocked at the door and entered holding a file. She put the file on the desk in front of William and spoke, ''William, this is the file of the applicants that made it''

William looked at the file and smiled, ''I see. How many are they?''

''You picked Dindin, Anita, Lucy and Natalie, but, Jason asked me to remove Natalie's name because of the recent scandal about her. He said she will destroy the company's image if she is employed''

''Why would he do that? the lady is talented and genuine''

''Jason said hiring her will get a backlash from netizens and our clients. Now that we are planning to launch a new item, we can't afford to receive a lot of negative backlash from the public''

''Have you found out how her pictures were leaked from our company?''

''It was one of the security men in charge of CCTV. I've already forwarded him to disciplinary committee. He confessed that someone gave him money for those pictures and videos but he didn't even know the person personally''

''I see. Give her a call. We're hiring her. As for Jason, I will talk to him myself''

Amy nodded her head, ''yes, sir. Excuse me''

William looked at Natalia's passport sized photo and murmured, ''Natalie, I finally found you. But, who would have thought you were married already?''

….

Natalie was combing her hair after washing it when her phone ranged and she picked it up, 'Hello, Natalie Jun speaking'' the comb fell down from her hands and she screamed and hung up the phone.

''Xia, Xia'' Natalie ran all the way downstairs to Kim Xia.

''Nat, what's wrong?'' Xia rushed out of the kitchen worriedly.

''Darling, I got the job. I got hired'' Natalie screamed and jumped excitedly around the hall.

'Where? Which company hired you?''

''I just received a call from Janice Jewellery. The secretary said I was hired and that I should be there on Monday for an orientation. Xia, I am finally a worker. An employed person'' Natalie said and started sobbing.

''Silly, this is something joyful, why are you crying?'' Xia hugged her.

''I am just happy''

''I'm not cooking again. Nat, let's go out and celebrate. There is this place I got a membership card to. It is called 'THE MEN', let's go and check it out''

''THE MEN? Thomas has mentioned it once''

''Yes, the owner is a someone I met through my boss's son. At least he was good for something. He gave me a membership card in exchange for me unblocking and blacklisting him''

Natalie chuckled, ''well, I really want to meet his son of your boss''

''Don't, he is crazy. Go and change out of this and let's go celebrate you. wait, we will go shopping first since it's till afternoon, then we will go there in the night''

''What are we buying?''

''Killer clothes that will bring all those killer curves out. Don't argue with me''

''Yes, Miss Kim'' Natalie replied and ran towards her room.

At the top floor of the Janice Jewellery building, a heated argument was going on between William and Jason after the call was made.

''I already told Amy to not hire that woman. Why did you decide to hire her? I am the HR, here, Williams''

''Whatever happened recently is her private life, she is talented and shouldn't be judged based on that''

''I didn't even know she was married to the late Thomas Sun. the family's wealth can divide Janice a hundred times, why is the widow of a rich man looking for a job here at Janice? I bet she is a pampered brat. Look at the information circulating around about her?''

''You don't know even know her that well, how can you make such assumptions based on what you saw on the internet? She is nothing like what the internet is saying''

''I have a bad feeling about her. Is there another reason for hiring her that you're not telling me?'' Jason looked at William suspiciously.

''What are you talking about?''

''Well, maybe you fell for her pretty face''

''Did you fall for her pretty face?''

''No''

''Then, is settled. We need her talents and that is enough reason to hire her'' William said and looked away. He couldn't tell Jason about the real reason why he was hiring her. That was a secret he had protected for a long time.

SARAFINA

Kim pulled Natalia inside Sarafina as she spoke, ''this is your first job in the real world, you need to kill it''

''Actually, I have a lot of clothes that I've never wore before. Thomas bought almost all the latest season clothes and bags for me''

''Babe, those clothes are different. Those clothes are for occasions, different from every day working clothes. You will be working for Janice, sis, Janice. You need to look that part. Flaunt that natural beauty and let them know that a queen has arrived to take her rightful throne. Natalie, I can already see you as one of the directors at Janice Jewellery a few years to come''

''Aren't you exaggerating?'' Natalie looked at Xia and laughed.

''I am so serious''

''Okay, but, I'm paying for them. These clothes are too expensive; I can't let you pay for them''

''Okay, but, allow me to buy you a gift then?''

''Sure'' Xia's phone buzzed and she looked at the alarm and frowned her face. ''Xia, what's wrong?''

''Is time, Natalie''

''Time for what?'' Natalie asked her confused.

''Let me make this call first. Go and check out the dresses first'' Xia dialled a number on her phone and made the call as she walked out of the store, ''hello, Noah, is exactly 24 hours now and that bitch hasn't changed the article. Release those photos and be on alert because, she might try to use a hacker to stop those photos from going out. I will send the money to you this evening, bye'' Xia returned to Natalie's side.

''Xia, what were you talking about earlier on?'' Natalie asked as she looked at the dresses.

''The photos will be leaked out today, as in a few minutes from now. I already asked Noah to do it''

''Leak them out. Is time to fight back and let them know I can't​ be bullied easily'' Natalie said determinedly. She was tired of letting them have their way. She was going to let them have a taste of their own medicine.

''That's my girl. I wanted to be sure we were still on the same page''

''We definitely are, sis''
