Chapter 106: Still Knows Them Best
1658words
They both stared at her, Oliver had an angry expression while the grandfather had a blank look but she could see that the man was impressed.
She sat opposite them with confidence and poise, her long blonde hair which used to be packed into a ponytail was pulled into a sleek bun which made her moderate makeup and blank face more visible.
Her eyes which used to be shadowed by lingering feelings of doubt were not placed with a glint of confidence and arrogance, the steely look telling the tales of her determination.
She raised her hand to check her gold wristwatch, her crisp white shirt showed underneath her navy suit jacket when she moved and her silver necklace caught the light.
'Tell me, where are the documents? I need to sign it and get out of here, I have other things to attend to," she said and Oliver placed the documents on the table.
Even though the man does not want to admit it, he had to recognize the fact that Alexander really took care of Sapphire more than he ever dreamed of doing.
If she looked like this before they met, he wouldn't dream of asking her out because he wouldn't be in her league and if she looked like this when they were dating, he would never let go.
A man who was also dressed in a designer jacket also came and sat on the chair beside Sapphire.
'Who the hell is this?" Oliver asked.
'You didn't think I would sign the documents without seeking legal guidance, did you? Well I almost did, but Alexander said one can never be too careful," Sapphire said and the old man cleared his throat.
'I don't pull such cheap tricks," Mr. Theo said.
'You don't," Sapphire said. 'But I don't trust your grandson, I know him more than anyone, he is capable of doing that," Sapphire said.
Sapphire had been right, Oliver had switched the document when his grandfather was not looking, so the grandfather had to call his secretary to bring up the edited version.
He looked at Oliver with disappointment and was beyond livid that Oliver had made Sapphire right.
'I hope to never have dealings with you again," Sapphire said, standing up after both parties have signed the new agreement.
The heels she wore made her seem taller and her silver bracelet became visible when she adjusted her jacket, her pants suit tailored to perfection. She used the glasses that was on her forehead properly while smirking at them.
'Remember to tell your grandson and his new girlfriend not to mess with me." She said with a leveled tone.
She had been noticing the knowing look on Oliver's face, it is like the damn guy is up to something again.
The lawyer took the briefcase from her while following her out of the place.
—---------------------
All the juniors and employees at the company went Venita's way as she marched into the place, rage was all over her face and she looked ready to murder someone.
Everyone was at peace when she didn't show up, some of her works had been suspended while some others had been canceled, most new and old brands who already submitted their request called, either to cancel or request for Tina instead.
Her visit that day, to most people, is meaningless but no one dared to ask her what she was up to.
Her Manager who was talking to a staff paused when she saw her walking up the stairs, he had to stop himself from physically palming.
'What are you doing here Nita? I particularly asked you to stay at the Mansion during this hard period," he said in frustration and Venita scoffed.
'Don't give me that shit and don't block my way asshole. All you do is stay here and laugh behind my back while pretending that you are doing something!"
'What?"
'Get out of my way and come back when you stop being useless. I have some more important matters to deal with," she snapped at her and pushed the man out of her way while he stared at her gobsmacked, her dark purple heels she wore to match the white dress she wore, making a loud sound as she barged into Tina's studio.
Venita stopped in surprise when she didn't see her in the place, she was doing a shoot at the moment, she made sure of that.
'Hey, where is that bitch?" She asked a trainee who just walked past her.
'In your studio," she replied briefly and her eyes widened in shock, she was just not here for a week and they are assigning her stuff to some nincompoop?"
'Why the fuck would they do that? Are they nuts?" She screamed, enraged by the news, the trainee quickly got out of her sight before she took out her anger on her.
She barged into the studio and scoffed in disbelief, were they all for real?
Tina was on the set, posing for the camera while the team stared at her performance, there were a few juniors there too, part of which was Hannah.
'What the hell are you all doing in my studio?" She yelled but except for the few glances, no one paid her any attention.
'It became free the moment you had to stay home because your work was suspended. She is doing your job, they compromised that they would stay if we find another model and use your studio,"
Venita scoffed and walked to the stage, not minding the whole crew and dragged Tina's face up by her hair, messing up the beautiful hair style she had on, before slapping her hard across the face.
Everyone stared at her stunned out of their mind, the only person who was functioning was Hannah who had her phone secretly record the scene.
She had started recording as soon as Venita slammed the door open, it was obvious that she would do some crappy shit and she didn't disappoint her.
'Oh my god," some of the crew gasped in surprise.
They all knew about how she bullied her juniors but they were surprised when she did that to Tina who was her ‘equal' colleague.
'You think I won't know about all the shits you have been up to? You think that I won't know that you are the one that posted that video?" She asked with tight lips and Tina scoffed before standing.
'What! You want to say that I edited it? You are only furious like this because you know that it is true, that is the same reason why you have not been able to curb it!" Tina said and Venita started laughing sarcastically.
'You are delusional. I give this fact to you, straight and clear. The damn thing is going to vanish from the news today and there's nothing you can do about it," She said to her and Tina started chuckling.
'So this is the reason why you started hanging out with Oliver."
'What?"
'What would you do for him, be his new fiancee? Isn't that way too cheap of you?" Tina asked but Venita only rolled her eyes at her incredulity.
She was satisfied, she had done what she came here to do, she slapped her and got a video of her admitting that she snitched on her, everything is good, she thought with a smirk on her face.
'And one last thing before you go," Tina said and she turned back to look at her but she was rewarded with a resounding slap instead, far worse than the slap she gave her.
'You don't get to slap me and go," she said and Venita's face turned red in anger, she tried to match her again but was stopped by the security.
'Sorry ma'am, you have to get out of this place," they told her in a leveled tone and she squinted her eyes at them in disbelief.
'What the hell?"
'Throw her out, she is obviously part of the crowd that doesn't love verbal communication, she prefers action. I need to finish this shoot by twelve and it would be on you if it is later than that." Tina said, glaring at the men.
Venita shrugged their hands away with an exaggerated flip of her shoulder, her eyes narrowed in anger.
'Don't touch me," she snapped at them and they retracted their hands. 'I would deal with you later, you would regret ever messing with me," she threatened Tina and walked out of the room, flipping her head over her shoulder.
A message popped on her phone and when she checked it, she couldn't help scoffing in irritation.
It was a message from SJAY informing her that they would like to meet her in order to cancel their contract with her. There was a number beneath the words but she didn't bother to mind it.
She dialed Oliver's number but the man was not picking her calls, she scoffed sarcastically.
She had no other option than to call the damn number sent with the message.
'What the heck were you thinking? Why the hell would you want to cancel the contract?!"
'Why on earth would I keep a model who had ruined herself?" The voice answered cooly but it was not a male voice.
The feminine voice sounded familiar.
'What?"
'Have you turned dumb?" She said and finally figured out who it was.
'Sapphire?"
'I am honored that you recognize my voice after I insulted you,."
'Why the fuck are you answering the call? Is this some dumb trick you came up with Oliver's employees?"
'Were you deaf when I said that I am the owner of SJAY? SJAY is mine and of course you are talking to the CEO at the moment," Sapphire answered and Venita's eyes widened in disbelief.
