Chapter Thirty-Two

Lana paced up and down her room, her mind whirling with different thoughts.

"Do I really need to do this? I mean, Laura is dead and this parcel is five years too late," she muttered to herself.

But then, Rina is still in the Romero Empire, no doubt putting her plan in place.

"What do I do, what do I do?" She chanted, biting her finger tips, as the wheels in her brains turned over and over again, "Should I really let Rina destroy everything Laura built? But hold on, even if I can stop her, how do I stop her?!"

And there was the big question.

Why on Earth did Laura send her that parcel, thinking she'd know what to do with it.

Lana didn't know shit.

Laura probably thought she'd know what to do with it, because she was married to Damien back then.

"And that was five years ago," she stopped in the middle of the room and stared fixedly into the distance, looking but not seeing "I'm done with the Romero Empire. I'm done."

He had to ask again so he'd be sure."Yes, Pierre." Lana replied, her face set with a very determined expression.Pierre had a shocked smile on his face, "This was getting better and better." He thought, gleefully.However, a slight frown crossed his face as he seemed to remember the next words she had said, "And MAGIC is the catch? Why, if I may ask?"Lana remained silent for what seemed to be the longest of minutes. Her fingers clenched and unclenched as she debated within herself."Does he really need to know about Laura's parcel? I mean I could use all the help I need." She thought, biting her lip in indecision "But then, this is a delicate matter. I need to check things out for myself first, then recruit help."She inhaled deeply and answered with a cheerful, affected tone, "uh..nothing

She snarled, "You sit on your ass all day while I'm out here working! You call me useless?! I can make you useless, so watch your tongue, bitch!"She concluded angrily, and the sound of her own breathing was the only sound that could be heard for some time. She stared down at the phone and realized the line was dead."Ugh, so annoying! I wish I'd strangle him from here!" She grunted, gripping the phone tightly. The urge to smash it as well overwhelmed her but she shook it off.That was enough smashing for the day. And besides, it'd ruin things for them.

She started, trying to give closer to him but Damien stretched out his hand.Right on cue, Liam scrolled through his iPad, found the page he was looking for, and placed it on Damien's hand.Damien's eyes never left her face and he was definitely not fooled by her innocent look, "I pay good money to ensure that MAGIC stays on the chart with top designs from so called "talented designers" but all I get is this mediocrity!" He threw the iPad to the desk with a loud clang. Some of the employees jumped at the sound, and Rina flinched as well.She reached out with a trembling hand and picked up the iPad. Her heart dropped at what she saw there. There was a picture of Muse's famous design alongside hers. The dress was a little sequin number, cinched at the waist with a flared skirt.

She held up the dress and did a full twirl with it, then stopped when she noticed that Lana was not alone in the the room."Sorry." She muttered, as she caught Lana's disapproving look. Lana shook her head as she stood up and straightened her suit. The other people in the room did as well. They were her team of directors, and had been with Lana since the company was established.They were highly capable and Lana could trust them fully, especially now that she would be away from some time."Well then, I leave everything in your care."

She uttered in a broken whisper.Damien glanced at her and the icy look he gave her, sent shivers down her spine. Her hands on his arm dropped to her side, and she clutched her dress instead, to keep from trembling."Well, this is... surprising," Pierre uttered, completely flabbergasted with the sudden turn of events."Miss Carter and I are not engaged. That was a false article, Mr Evans and it's been taken down already," Damien continued, glancing at Lana once again "Just to clear the air from any misunderstandings.""Damien, how could you say that?"

She cracked, suddenly apprehensive. She swallowed hard and looked at Vera once more, "It's just that you've never asked about my family, so..."She trailed off, giving Vera a knowing look and Vera laughed lightly, "No dear. I never asked about them because I didn't want you to be uncomfortable." She replied Rina, "And besides, Damien liked you despite your family's influence, that's why I decided to just let things lie low."Rina also laughed nervously and nodded her head, "Oh ok. Well, that's okay, Mother." She said, trying to reassure the older woman, "Just continue to keep things lying low."Vera shook her head to Rina's chagrin, "No dear. Now is

    Chapter Ninety-ThreeThe security guards escorted Madam Vera and Rina out of the premises of the company.Vera had stopped struggling and Rina was still playing a dying girl. Soon, the driver brought Vera's car round to the entrance of the lobby, and only then did the security guards let go of the women."Let go of me," Madam Vera struggled one last time, just as they let go of them. She turned to glare at the security guards who still stood behind them, waiting for the woman to get into their cars.Vera stretched back her hands and gave them both slaps across their faces. The men did not flinch and their grave expression remained the same, even with the red welt marks on their cheeks."Please, get into the car, ma'am." A body guard said, giving Vera a serious look. The other glanced at the driver, who came round to open the car door for them."Lowlife bastards," Vera swore under her breath, glaring at the security guards with hate. They gave her a look that said they did not even c

    Chapter Ninety-TwoRina walked into her office, and all the employees quickly stood up and bowed in unison, with respect. The fact that she had such influence to the extent that, she'd gotten Rina fired was still mindblowing.No one would dare to cross her from now on, especially now that they knew the CEO was solidly behind her. He even escorted his mother out of the premises for her.Lana sat behind her desk and only then did she ask them to sit with a curt nod of her head. The employees sat down clumsily, shifting uncomfortably under Lana's scrutinizing gaze.Claudia and the rest of Rina's minions felt the most uncomfortable. They could not even raise their heads to look at Lana. Instead, they fiddled with their keyboards or thumbs or bag straps or the pile of papers on their desks.All the while praying that Lana does not call them out. Even though they hated her, they still loved their jobs and wanted to keep it. Rina was gone, so there was no use acting up in front of Lana.L

Lana uttered, "If Rina is fired from MAGIC!"Rina gasped in outrage, while Vera struggled in the hands of the security men, "Let me go!" She struggled fiercely once more, and managed to wrench herself free from the men, who were a bit surprised by her strength. They had let her go, because it seemed like Vera would hurt herself any moment with the way she was struggling.She stood arms akimbo and faced Lana, "You bitch, what are you saying?! You want Rina fired, after everything she's done for MAGIC?!" She yelled at her, "Do you think I don't know what's going on? You're trying to throw out the rightful owner and take Rina's glory!" She then turned to face Damien, saying fiercely, "How long are you going to believe her? Can't you see how evil she is?!"Damien was silent, ignoring his mother's outburst.

Lana said suddenly as she walked back to Diego, and examined his face once more. The sight of his bleeding lips made her grit her teeth in anger. She turned back to Vera and said coldly, "I won't let you get away with this too, Vera."Vera eyed her in annoyance, "What?!""This is assault."

She spat out, unable to believe what she was hearing. She sniffed haughtily and looked down her nose at Lana, "I was only teaching your lowlife assistant a lesson.
