10.I’ll show them how to get my revenge professionally.

'Tell me the truth? What kind of mess are you making, Briella?" He asked her with a stern face. 'I'm not pleased with your antics." 'What?" She asked, feigning ignorance even though she knew what he was referring to. 'Stop this bullshit at once, Briella. What are you so angry about? Because I didn't show up at your house?" Xander said, looking at her intensely. 'Believe me, if I were mad at you, I wouldn't be sitting here, facing you and smiling at you," she replied, maintaining her charming smile. 'Then why did you cause that scandal?" He asked, eyebrows raised. 'How many times do I have to tell you I didn't make a scene!" She responded firmly. 'Stop lying to my face, Briella, damn it!" He shouted. She raised an eyebrow and clenched her fists in secret. She wanted to slap him for his blatant siding with Matilda. She wouldn't admit her guilt since she intended it to happen. 'Why am I wasting my breath explaining everything to you? It's obvious you have no interest in listening to me!" She retorted. "Then explain why you chose to go there instead of following my order! If you're bored in this office, why don't you talk to me properly so I can give you something else to do!" He hissed. 'Something else to do? I don't need something else to do, and I need your attention! Are you preoccupied with something other than your work?" She asked straightforwardly. Her words momentarily took aback Xander, but his face soon hardened again. 'What's going on with you?! Why are you behaving and speaking to me like this?! I am your fiancé, so you should obey me," he said firmly. She frowned deeply, wanting to slap him hard. 'We're not married yet, so you don't completely own me, honey," she responded. 'Will you stop being sarcastic?! I'm getting annoyed with how you're treating me!" He snapped. She remained silent, clenching her fists. She took a deep breath, lifted her head, and looked at him thoughtfully. 'If we have nothing else to discuss, I'll leave," she said, getting up to go, but he quickly stopped her. 'No! You can't just get away like that. We haven't discussed the Fashion Show you ruined! Do you know that the company plans to sue you and our company?" He said, evidently trying to control his anger. 'Don't tell me you can't handle such a small issue? Have you forgotten how often your other models, especially Matilda, have caused scandals?" She said emotionlessly. 'You're not getting the point, Bri. They are our assets, so we need to manage their scandals. And don't ever compare yourself to them because they are the faces of this company and bring us fame. If you had followed my instructions, you wouldn't be in this mess," he blamed her. How dare this demon! So he's implying that I don't contribute to this company, and he can't handle this small mess?! She didn't respond but maintained her stern demeanor. She would never again show weakness to him or anyone trying to hurt her. The days when they insulted and stepped on her are over! 'Since you're now a talent of this Agency, you should follow my orders and do exactly what I want," he said, calling his secretary via intercom. She raised an eyebrow when he let Matilda in, and in less than a second, the door swung open, and in walked Matilda, who wasn't in the mood for a proper conversation. She remained calm, not showing any emotion, but she didn't expect Matilda to approach Xander and stand close to him. She realized Matilda had always been close to Xander but hadn't suspected anything because she trusted them both. 'What now?" Matilda said, looking at her with suspicion. 'As I've said, we need to sort this mess out. Regardless of what we do, you're involved, Matilda. No matter how we look at it, we are at fault. I came up with an idea, and Briella will do it for us," Xander explained. She observed the two, noticing Matilda's brightening face at Xander's words. She remained silent, allowing the two to converse. She would endure their taunts and insults for now. She would let them think she's still easily manipulated. Now wasn't the time to make them pay for what they put her through! They will pay! And I won't stop until they're brought down! 'Briella, are you listening?" Xander interrupted her thoughts. She nodded, knowing she didn't need to listen to his words because she knew what he and Matilda wanted - to humiliate her in front of many people. 'Good, I will give you the script, and you'll have to do the PR tomorrow afternoon at exactly two p.m. Don't be late. I will also call the CEO of T-Trends to be present when you issue the public apology," he informed. She didn't respond but let him continue with his foolish plan. When he finished, she saw Matilda smile and approach her. 'I'm sorry for shouting at you earlier. I just panicked because I felt like you were turning against me," she said. She didn't react, she just stared at her. She wanted to slap her and expose everything she knew about her, but she had to control herself because she had planned a day for her revenge. She just had to wait and stay calm. I'll show them how professional I am and how to get my revenge professionally. ***** 'So what happened after I left?" Chelsey immediately asked when she entered her tiny dressing room, which looked more like a storeroom for old costumes and clothes the agency's models had grown tired of. She sighed heavily and sat down on the old long sofa. She wasn't fussy about her surroundings, having experienced all the hardships when she started modeling three years ago. 'They want me to issue a public apology and admit it's all my fault," she answered, grinding her teeth angrily. 'Bastards!" Chelsey exclaimed, visibly angered. 'Calm down. Getting angry won't help. Let them do whatever they want for now. Their days of laughing and betraying will end soon," she said, a cunning smile appearing. 'From your looks, you've got a plan, am I right?" Chelsey asked. A vicious smile appeared on her lips. Briella didn't need to say anything for Chelsey to know she had a plan. She knew a plan was in place from her smile and calm eyes. She wouldn't push for details and let her friend tell her when she was ready. What mattered to her was her friend's return to reality. She had never agreed with her friend's decision to stop modeling and follow Xander's every command. She had suspected from the start that Xander wouldn't be good for her friend, especially when he forced Briella to break her contract with LG Entertainment and quit modeling. However, she couldn't intervene as she saw her friend was happy and deeply in love with him. The anger she felt toward Xander for wasting three years of Briella's life was immense. She wouldn't let him or the snake Matilda go unpunished. But she couldn't preempt Briella's plans, understanding how hurt her friend was. She glanced at her friend, who was engrossed in her phone. It had been several days since Briella told her about Xander and Matilda's betrayal, yet she hadn't seen her cry, show pain, or get angry. She only showed calmness and wasn't sure if that was good for her. Back in Xander's office, Matilda was still fuming over what had happened. Although Briella had agreed to Xander's demands, it still wasn't okay with her. She was furious that Xander had allowed Briella to sign a new contract with the company. After ensuring no one would disturb them, Xander approached and tried to kiss her, but she dodged him. 'What's the matter, babe?" He asked, puzzled. She glared at him. 'Why did you let her sign a contract? You're just giving her a chance to ruin my dreams!" 'I don't have a choice. If I hadn't agreed, she wanted us to get married immediately, which I don't want, especially now that we're expecting a child," he replied. She widened her eyes and slapped his mouth. 'Keep quiet! Someone might hear you!" Xander leaned close and kissed her neck, and she couldn't resist as he touched her. She wasn't in the mood but changed her mind and gave Xander what he wanted most – her body and her wild side in bed. If Briella thinks she'll succeed in taking her down, she's wrong! She knew Briella was awake the night she invited Xander to the hotel and offered herself to him right before Briella. She won't let Briella take the title of the CEO's wife of Star Agency! The crown is mine, Briella and you'll never take it from me! A triumphant smile crossed her face before she and Xander became one on top of his desk.
