I’m Dedicated To You

CHAPTER 37: WHAT A BAD WAY TO START THE DAY



AUTHOR’S NOTE: I am going to dive into the side characters’ lives too, so the novel won’t be centered around the main leads.

VICTORIA’S POV

Inside the building of What you like magazine and everyone could be seen busy with different tasks.

“Good morning Victoria”Team leader Diana greets me and I know the woman is out for my trouble again today.

“Good morning ma’am”.

“Take this file and make sure you sort it out before closing for the day, “Team leader Diana says, turning back.

“But ma’am I still have a lot of workloads so, I don’t think I can turn this over before I get off work,” Victoria says.

“What do you mean that you won’t be able to turn it over today”.

“I mean I have a lot to sort out already don’t you think this is outright bullying some of my colleagues don’t even have anything doing but I am so packed with work that I don’t even have time to go out for lunch or even meets friends on weekend, “I say all of it in one breath.

“Woah looks like you have a lot of things to say Victoria so, instead of buckling up all that why don’t you say all of it and I might as well give you want to, “she says and I knew the hidden meaning behind it so, I just swallow any kind of mistreatment I wanted to say and keep my cool.

“I will turn it over before closing for the day, “I say through gritted teeth trying my best to hold in the anger.

“That’s why I like you, you know when to back down, ” she left after scrutinizing me with her eyes.

“Yeah, I know when to back down” I mutter and I noticed that some of my colleagues are staring at me awkwardly but I care less because this is not the first time this is happening between us but I got distracted from my thoughts by the sound of my phone ringtone.

“Hi Best” I heard Georgina’s ever-cheerful voice from the other end.

“Congratulations on your contract signing my love”.

“So you know that I am signing a contract with TH entertainment today and you don’t deem it fit to call me”.

“I am sorry best”.

“It’s fine since you are my favorite I am going to forgive you but you have to come out for lunch because I can’t keep up with Olivia that opportunity groping monster will try to find a way to interview me so, you have to save me from her, “I heard her say and I can’t help but feel sorry because I won’t be able to meet up with her.

“Actually about that, I think I am going to pass because I am so busy with work, “I say slowly, waiting for Georgina’s assault of words but she proves me wrong.

“It’s fine but make sure you don’t skip your meals if you have time though because we have a lot of catching up to do”.

“Ok, I will do good luck on your first day at work”.

“What first day I haven’t even signed the contract yet to get off my phone dummy”.

“Bye,” I said smiling but my smile vanished when I saw the pile-up of files on my desk so much for a junior editor.

GEORGINA’S POV

After getting off the phone with Victoria I know something is up with her or should I say l always know something is up at her office but I don’t know how to help her with it so, I just turn a blind eye but her today’s reaction confirms my doubts that they may not be treating her well at work because of her origin.

“Johnny did you think today will be good,” I asked Johnny because my cheerful mood has already dampened because of my concluded call with Victoria.

“Of course ma’am it will be you signing with TH entertainment. That’s like a new leap in your career so, I think it’s going to be a good day today,” he says and I smile after what he says.

I lowered the car window to look at the beautiful sight of the city but I noticed something: almost all of the billboards in the city that had my face on it before have been replaced with someone else and that realization sends a shiver to me because it meant a lot of things to an artist.

“It’s fine you are going to start over and you will get back your glory, ” I mutter calming myself down. I could see Johnny noticed my reaction but he acted like he didn’t notice it anyways and we continued our drive.

BRADLEY’S POV

Inside the Hale group headquarters building in the CEO’s office, the temperature in the office has already dropped below zero because of the CEO’s choking aura.

“Why did you think I pay you so much?”, Bradley asked the head of the sales department, who was already shivering in fear because the CEO’s temperamental assistant Jack couldn’t help but pity the man.

“How did you want to explain this error, “I yelled coldly, losing my cool and the man in front of me jolted in fear.

“I am sorry sir Mr. Jayden asked me to do it,” he says and I shake my head at him because he just fell into the trap.

“So you mean….”I was saying but I was interrupted by the phone ringing.

“Ohhh we are so sorry to call the busiest man in the country this early morning. We are sorry for our bad manners,” I heard Douglas’s teasing voice from the other side of the phone.

“What are you up to Douglas I don’t have the time to joke around” I replied to his teasing coldly.

“I know but it’s something that’s going to interest you because I heard that your girl is signing with Fred and I am currently in his office I mean someone has to welcome the girl to the family so, I am going to do that in your stead, ” I heard Douglas saying and I can’t help but facepalmed myself about how my friend is so useless.

“Don’t bother her”.

“Woah so bland, me and Fred are going to do the honor in your stead and I could also get an autograph when I am it. Also Fred says hi,” I heard Douglas say hanging up on me and I got shocked by his silliness.

“Assistant Jack sees him out, “I say not looking at them but at my phone debating on whether or not I should call her.

“Thank you so much sir I will try my best not to let you down again, “I heard the man saying.

“You don’t have to try your best because you are fired, “I say with nonchalant behavior, sending him out and assistant Jack dragging the man out.

After so much debate, I later decided to call her since we didn’t see each other this morning. I might just ask her how she is doing.

“Hello,” I said when I heard the other side of the phone not saying anything.

“Good luck, ” I heard Bradley say and he immediately hung up the phone.

GEORGINA’S POV

“What was that?”I asked no one in particular and looked at my phone in surprise wondering if I simply received a call just now because that was the shortest call I have ever had.

“We are here now ma’am,” I heard Johnny say and I took a deep breath before opening the door.

“After this let’s go for lunch Johnny,” I say getting down from the car and I know that what I said surprised him.

Getting down of the car I looked at the gigantic building of TH entertainment but I can see my presence attracts a lot of attention to me and I switched to my professional mode walking like a queen into the building people can’t help but gape at me in amazement and I that didn’t surprise me because I wasn’t called the GG of showbiz for nothing because everywhere I go I turn heads.

“Looks like we have an opportunist in the building, “I heard someone say and when I turned around I saw my biggest competitor of all time Belinda.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“What a bad way to start a day, “I mutter under my breath.
