Chapter 10 Perfect plan fails

"It is better that I leave this place at the earliest. Otherwise someone else will misunderstand me", she mumbles while walking hastily down the stairs leading to the main entrance gate of the auditorium where it all started.

Her delicate wrist had turned red due to the force Justin used while holding her hands.

"What kind of a CEO is he? No doubt, Amy and Sasha were so scared to be fired. He is not ready to listen to anyone. Such a heartless person", she mumbles and exits from the main iron gate.

"He didn't even apologise for his behaviour", she mutters as she looks back at the auditorium for the last time, while frowning.

When she turns back to leave the place, she bumps into a beautiful lady who was there for the fashion show.

"I am sorry", Genevieve apologises immediately.

"Be careful", Juliana advises her with her sweet smile.

"You too", she advises her instead.

Juliana gives a confused look and stares at her waiting for her to elaborate.

"Are you here as a guest or an employee?" Genevieve asks first.

If she turned out to be a guest then she was not going to say what she wanted to as she didn't want to defame the company but if she was an employee then she had a lot to say.

"I work here", Juliana replies.

She sighs. "I really pity all the employees working for Wilson Fashion", she says while shaking her head in disappointment.

"Huh?" Juliana was stunned to hear her say this.

"Your CEO is really a crazy person. I wonder how you work with him. He is so rude and arrogant", she says in frustration. "All the best. May he not burst out his anger,  which is always on the tip of his nose, on you...which I think is very difficult for him", she adds and leaves for home.

Juliana stood there for a while and smiled. She was not angry with Genevieve as she knew her brother well. He could have done something that made this pretty girl irritated.

"Justin, what did you do with her?" She mumbles.

She shook her head and laughed softly. When she entered the dressing room, she found Justin walking back and forth in a deep thought while Jane was doing something on the laptop.

"I came to know that our CEO vented out his anger on a pretty lady today", she says suddenly which draws the attention of the two people in the room.

Justin rolls his eyes showing his disinterestedness to answer. Juliana shifts her stare towards Jane to know exactly what happened here that the lady she met outside was so upset with her brother. Jane narrated everything...in detail.

"If you are done with the story telling, let us focus on tracing Bella", Justin says while glaring at Jane.

She immediately shows the CCTV footage outside the entrance where they could clearly see how Bella collided with Genevieve and how his employees dragged her inside.

"She was not lying", he whispers to himself.

Just then, he receives a call informing about the location of Bella's mobile. Justin smirked after hanging up.

"Outfits by Jonathan", he says while clenching his fists.

Juliana and Jane stare at him in disbelief.

Meanwhile, in the office of 'Outfits by Jonathan'...

"Job well done, Bella'', a man with a dominating aura says while leaning back on the chair.

He was Jonathan Ben, the owner of the second most successful fashion brand after Wilson Fashion. He was the son of the person who was once a business partner of Justin's father, Albert. But he cheated on him and took over the whole company and renamed it in his name.

Albert started from scratch again and managed to start Wilson Fashion and brought it to the top by his hardwork and determination. When Jonathan's father died a few years ago, Jonathan took over the company. He was greedy and selfish just like his father. He was not satisfied with the second position of his company. He wanted to be at the top and was ready to do anything to achieve it. He didn't have any work ethics.

Hence he had sent Bella two months ago to join Wilson Fashion but work as his spy. He could get the internal information about the events and strategies made by the company through her. Today was a perfect opportunity for him to ruin the fashion show by misplacing the showstopper's dress. This would make the company lose its reputation and customers as well. The shares will fall down due to the defamation and his chance to fly high will rise. He didn't want to miss a single chance, whether small or big, to pull Wilson Fashion down.

He holds the showstopper's dress in his hands and mumbles, "Justin Wilson, get ready to experience a fall", and smirks.

He then looks at Bella and throws five bundles of heavy denomination notes at her. "Take this and enjoy", he orders.

After she leaves, he switches on the TV to watch the live telecast of the fashion show that he expected to get ruined soon. He relaxed himself on the chair and watched the show with a smirk on his face while eating popcorn.

However, when the last model started walking the ramp, who was supposed to wear the missing showstopper's dress, he got up from his chair furiously and threw the packet of popcorn in the air.

"How is this possible? How did he manage to get another dress at the last moment? He didn't even have any backup for that as told by Bella", he says while panting in anger.

He looks at the previous dress lying on the floor and back to the TV.

"The new dress is even more beautiful than this", he mumbles.

He clenches his fists and slams it on his table. "Justin Wilson", he screams with his eyes burning in anger.

"How do you manage to save your company every time? Which of your designers has designed such a beautiful dress?" He whispers. "I will find it out", he says and sneers.

There Genevieve had reached home after having a strange experience at the auditorium. Though she didn't want to think about whatever happened today and had already given up her thought of gaining experience by working with a great company like Willson Fashion due to that arrogant CEO, she switched on the TV to watch the fashion show...the only reason being she wanted to see if they used the dress designed by her as the showstopper's dress. If so, how did it look and did it get any praise?

She sat on the couch comfortably and watched the show with keen interest. She jumped out of excitement when she saw that her dress was getting appreciated by the audience. There was a huge sound of applause and their faces depicted how much they liked it.

"Mission accomplished. Well done, Genevieve!" She appreciates herself by patting herself on the back.

Meanwhile, at the fashion show…

"He had made a perfect plan to ruin our show and our image", Juliana says while sitting on the couch in the dressing room.

"But his perfect plan has failed", Justin says with pride while pointing towards the TV in the room showing the live show and the praise it was getting.

"Genevieve saved us today", Jane suddenly blurts out and smiles.

But when she notices her boss glaring at her, she bows her head and immediately leaves the room to save herself from getting burned by his fumes of anger.

Juliana smiles and shakes her head. To get appreciation from Justin was really a tedious task, she thought.
