Chapter 717
Hadnt the manager ensured the surveillance was disabled? The manager was equally flustered, his brow slick with sweat.
How could this occur? This was clearly intentional.
We will interrogate the responsible party thoroughly to get justice for Maxine.
Madisyn fixed her gaze on him.
Since were all here, perhaps youd care to explain? Attempting to salvage his integrity, the manager responded, We absolutely condemn such reprehensible actions at our show.
The guilty party will be held accountable for the damage caused.
And what about compensation for Maxines emotional distress? Madisyn asked.
Of course, that will be considered.
Lets hear what Maxine suggests.
The manager deliberately passed the question to Maxine, confident that she would not demand a substantial amount of compensation, thus avoiding any appearance of greed in front of the audience.
Maxine declared, Then lets proceed with the penalty for breach of contract.
The mention of a breach of contract penalty earned Maxine looks of admiration from many in the crowd.
The contract stipulated that the penalty would be ten times the appearance fee-a sum initially intended to be paid by Maxine, but now the responsibility fell to the manager.
Silenced and seething internally, the manager managed a begrudging, Alright, alright.
A N G E L A s L I B R A R Y As the fashion show drew to a close, Maxine headed backstage to change.
Tatiana, cold fury etched across her face, watched her intently.
Without a word, Maxine walked past her, but Tatiana reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
Youre getting bolder by the day, Tatiana remarked icily.
Maxine responded with a sharp edge of sarcasm, No matter how bold I am, I havent harmed anyone.
If anyones bold, it should be you, Tatiana.
Youre one of the rare ruthless ones in the entertainment industry.
Tatianas eyes narrowed.
As models continued to pass by, the collective gaze of everyone in the vicinity shifted towards Tatiana, whose actions had painted her in a distinctly unfavorable light.
Everyone started disdaining her now.
It only fueled Tatianas rage.
Maxine, dont you understand the consequences of your actions? she hissed, her voice sharp with anger.
Ive seen the consequences for you, Maxine retorted with a mischievous grin, her expression so provocative that Tatiana felt an almost visceral urge to tear her face apart.
At that moment, the manager approached, attempting to diffuse the tension.
Tatiana, lets talk over there.
The manager and Tatiana needed to discuss their next moves.novelbin
It was only then that Maxine was able to change clothes.
Following behind her, her assistant said happily, Maxine, we are so lucky to have a boss like Miss Johns.
I really didnt expect her to get Sierras design for us.
