Ruined Dress (Face slapping)

An employee who looked like she was an assistant was drenched in a hot coffee and it looked like a face cream was poured on her. With the way the assistant closed her eyes tightly, it was obvious that the face cream sipped into her eyes, that must be painful. The lady was shivering as she knelt down and was pleading to be spared.

Immediately, Jesy ran towards the private make-up room to see who was behind such maltreatment and Akira and the rest followed behind.

They entered the room and they were even more shocked to see the room in such a bad state, everything was upside down. It couldn't pass as a make-up room anymore. If a person didn't know, they would have thought it was an abandoned room.

Jesy and the others stared wide-eyed at the state the room was. Everything was in a huge mess. Before Jesy could say anything, she saw a beautiful woman with a furious look and her heavy make-up was in a mess, the woman walked pass her and stood before the still shivering assistant. Jesy opened her mouth to speak.

"What's going on….."

"How dare you?!" PAK!!!!

But she was cut short with the sound of a hand smacking a face very hard. Everywhere fell in silence except for the muffled sound coming from the assistant. Clara flinched, she had never witnessed such ill treatment before.

Dinah was furious, she was in rage as she stared daggers at her assistant whom she had beaten to pulp.

"Do you know how important and urgent this dress is? And you ruined it, how could you? This dress could buy your entire fortune, couldn't you handle it with uttermost care?"

Dinah Rex complained as she held the part of her dress that was torn. She was angry because that dress was really expensive and she needed it to shoot a scene which would begin in a few hours. Normally, she wouldn't be bothered because she could afford to buy more of the dress but it was of limited edition and she already bragged about it to the others. If she doesn't show up with the dress as she bragged about, it would be a bad stain to her name.

Dinah Rex was an A-list actress, her net worth is really high. After all the bragging she did, people would think she was only pretending and was using the fact that the dress tore to cover up her lie, they would think she never bought the dress in the first place. That was capable of ruining her reputation.

"I don't think you had any god-damned right to treat any employee this way. You went too far."

Silent followed Akira's words, nobody said a thing but the assistant was breathing in relief, finally someone came to her rescue.

Dinah gritted her teeth and turned to face Akira, she snorted as she sized Akira up. The sudden interruption was something she didn't expect.

"I don't think it's your business. She's my assistant and I….."

"The company employed her not you. Whatever damage should be taken care of by the people who should handle it, you're just a mere actress, you have no business in taken matters like this into your own hands."

Akira deadpanned before Dinah could finish her words. Both of them stared at each other for a while, Dinah chuckled in disbelief, she pointed her index finger to herself and said.

"I bought this dress with my money, not the company. You don't know what this would cause me, you better stay out of my business."

Dinah replied back, Jesy was in disbelief and her disgust for Dinah grew in greater heights as seconds ticked by. Why would anyone treat a person like that because of some expensive dress? Jesy wondered as she stared at Dinah from where she stood.

"Both of you are employees of this company, whatever happens should be reported before you take action. You know how expensive that dress was yet you weren't careful."

Dinah was left speechless by Akira's statement, just as Akira finished talking, a man in black suit and two females walked into the make-up room and without saying a word, they quietly walked to the assistant and the two women helped the assistant stand up and they took her out of the room, the poor assistant was still shivering in fear.

Dinah stared wide-eyed at how the assistant was helped out of the room, she clenched her hands into a fist and glared at Akira. What about her? What was going to happen to her dress?

Akira turned towards Director Jeff and nodded her head at him with a smile, she already knew it was Director Jeff who called those people to help the assistant out.

"What about me? Isn't she going to pay for the dress she ruined?"

Dinah asked as she placed her hands on her waist. Akira chuckled and walked closer to Dinah, she stood a feet away from Dinah.

"Did you report to anybody that your dress was ruined by an employee? She already paid by letting you beat her up, there's no other way of payment, it's either one or the other. If you had reported, things would have been handled diplomatically and the assistant would have been asked to pay, but you've handled it yourself, what else are you talking about?"

Akira talked calmly with a low voice as she smiled a mockery smile at Dinah. She finished talking and walked out of the room and Clara and Jesy followed behind, Director Jeff already left.

Dinah felt as if she just received a hard slap on her face, her eyes were red as she stared at the door. She couldn't hold in her anger, she picked a nearby jar and smashed it on the floor.

"You think I'll let it go? What a joke, I'll make sure you pay for this. My dress is ruined for goodness sake! Who's going to take responsibility?! How do I fix this?! Bitch!"

Dinah's scream rang out in the hall way but Akira was unfazed, she kept her calm face as Jesy and Clara quietly followed behind.
