The light coming from the cara flashed inside the event room while Scarlet standing in the middle of the stage flashing a bright smile waved at the press.
Today was Scarlet debut in the entertainnt industry, she looked at her side and found her manager Ray Sotto faking a smile at her.
She gave him a little bow and soon her eyes caught the figure of the woman standing in the crowd.
She smiled at her, Daniella, the woman who acted like her Godmother and gave everything she wanted.
She gave her a dismissive wave and all eyes turned to where she was waving.
Daniella bead a smile and blew Scarlet a kiss. Shifting her sight to Ray Sotto, she winked at him and pointed the exit door, asking him to et her there.
Ray adjusted his tie and excused himself to the press while his assistant took over the interview.
He walked in big steps towards the exit door. Reaching it, he opened the door with his heart pounding uncontrollably.
And there she was, the woman who blackmailed him was leaning on the wall next to the window with crossed arms.
"Hi, Mr. Sotto," Daniella said as her lips curled upward.
Ray rolled his eyes on her and walked closer, "what do you want?" he asked.
"I want Scarlet to be the cover of V Magazine for next month."
Ray scoffed, "yeah and I want a unicorn," he replied sarcastically.
"I can arrange that."
Ray was astonished by her answer, he cleared his throat and sat on the plastic chair, one arm rested on the armchair while his legs were crossed, "Camille Male is going to be in the next month cover since she's going to be engaged with Evan Su," he ticked his tongue repeatedly, "people are interested to her than your gay friend."
The fake smile on Daniella's lips faded and was replaced with a frown.
"Do you have the number of V Magazine's CEO?" she asked.
Ray sotto lifted a shoulder in a shrug and took his phone out.
Daniella accepted it and dialed the number, she waited until soone answered the line.
"Is this Caitlyn Valentino?"
"Yes, and who am I speaking with?"
"This is Evan Su's girlfriend, my na is Daniella Chen."
The other line beca silent.
"Is this a prank?" Caitlyn asked.
"no, I don't have ti to prank you, you can call Evan directly," she paused and glanced at Ray only to see him with his jaw dropped in surprise, "tell his secretary that you spoke to and she will transfer the call to Evan."
Caitlyn ended the call after their short talk. As she waited for the callback, Daniella took her phone out and copied the number.
"I thought Evan Su is Camille's fiancé," Ray stated in shock.
"No, their parents made the agreent without my boyfriend's knowledge," she replied as she typed in a ssage to Evan.
"But Camille is living in his Villa," Ray narrowed his eyes, "I have pictures of her living there."
Danila blew out her cheeks with all Ray's question.
"Yes, she does live with us temporarily."
Out of nowhere, Ray let out a mirthless laugh, "and you're fine with that?"
Looking up at the ceiling, Daniella's lips twitched, "no but, I found a way to enjoy myself," then she laughed with amus.e.m.e.nt "last night, Evan roasted a chicken and Camille ate it," she bit her lips to prevent herself from laughing even more, "little did she know I prepared a roasted mice I found in the bas.e.m.e.nt which she ate."
Swelling his eyes in disbelief, Ray got up, "whoa! You're such a bitch!" he exclaid.
Daniella rose a brow, "Ray, I am Daniella, I'm bitchier than a bitch," she replied and rolled her eyes.
Soon Ray's phone buzzed, seeing the V Magazine's owner number, Daniella answered it.
"I spoke to Mr. Su," Caitlyn started, "he vouched for you. So, tell , Ms. Chen, why did you call ."
"Simple dear, I want sothing."
There was a light scoff sounded from the other line, "I assu you want to change the cover model?"
Waggling her brows on Ray who was confused, Daniella smiled, "and that's the reason why you are the CEO," she paused and removed her smile, "yes, I want my Scarlet for the cover next month."
Caitlyn sighed, "I am afraid I can't, I have sent a letter to Camille and she's a very respected person in the industry, this will create a crack on my relationship with her."
Daniella rolled her eyes, "fine, put her in the cover but, don't cry if people found out that your magazine published a fake story," her jaw gnashed as she realized how popular Camille was.
"What fake story?" Caitlyn asked, "I spoke to Elise Su and she confird it."
Daniella let out a loud laugh, "hey I am not stopping you alright? You can go to the Su villa anyti but, I suggest you call the animal control service, I heard there are lots of poisonous snakes in the villa," saying that, Daniella ended the call and tossed the phone to Ray.
Knowing that it's impossible, Ray sighed, Caitlyn and Camille's relationship were too strong to break, even for Daniella.
"You just wasted your ti," he said in a depressing tone.
"Oh please!" Daniella swayed a hand in the air, "just prepare Scarlet and make sure that your line is open later," she bead a smile and walked towards the door. She opened it and asked him to leave, "Caitlyn will call you later for the date of the photo shoot," she confidently said.
"Anyway, so n from Ken Chu's gang ca to Scarlet's apartnt and ruined it."
Daniella was stunned for a mont and later blew out a harsh breath, "I will handle it."
Ray walked past her with his head shaking in disbelief, 'this woman must have lost her mind', he thought and left the room.
After closing the door, Daniella took her phone and dialed Caitlyn's number.
It rang twice before Caitlyn answered it.
"Who is this?" the woman asked.
Daniella sat down on the plastic chair, lifted a hand in the air and stared at her nail.
"This is Daniella."
The other line laughed sarcastically, "I have given you my decision and it's a no."
"You see dear, I don't accept no," Daniella paused, "let's try again, shall we?"
