Chereads / The Senator's Wife / Chapter 33 - Pay or Pray

Chapter 33 - Pay or Pray

Brie starts browsing through her phone contacts. She initially calls Madam Desta Apta.

Madam Desta picks up the call while riding in her car on the way to the office. "Buon giorno signorina Brianna. What's up? Did you call me just to chat early in the day?"

Brie replies, "Actually my dear Madam Desta I have a simple request for you. We have this teeny weeny problem of Rosa. I need you to call Quaint Fashion."

"Per quale (for what)?"

"Contract."

"They gave you a good contract. What seems to be the problem?"

"Help us please. It's just that Rosa is pregnant."

"Really? Where are you?" The Madam inquires.

Brie quickly answers, "At the Eder's villa."

Madam Desta declares, "I'm coming over."

Brie tries to change her mind. "You don't have to. No need."

The Madam insists, "I'm coming. Wait for me." She instantly cuts off the line.

Brie rolls her eyes. She takes in a large amount of air to her chest to make another call. She decides to start calling the person in-charge whom she is on friendly terms with – the marketing manager of Skin Au Lait. When Brie ends the call, she turns to Rosa with her mouth wide-open. She then gives out a shriek.

Dravio and Rosa scrunch their faces with the screeching sound.

Brie announces, "Skin Au Lait agrees for Rosa to continue after giving birth since she has already done the Asian tour. And, they want your baby to join you as their endorser after you give birth."

"Really?"Rosa is elated with what she hears. Then she says, "Oh." She realizes she can't decide on her own. She bites her nail. "I need to ask Graysen's permission.

Madam Desta arrives. She hurriedly comes down from her car. She gaily struts to them saying, "Quaint Fashion compromises with a condition: They are developing Quaint Infants and would like to have Rosa's baby to be their model. And Rosa can continue modeling for Quaint Mama, a fashionable clothes line for pregnant women."

Brie puffs out air from her mouth, "That's another great news."

Desta embraces Rosa and caresses her stomach. She grins at Violet, "Congratulations Draco and Violet we're going to have a cute grandchild soon."

Brie makes several call marathons. She has just gone through all the network of people she can appeal with regarding the situation.

She walks to her seat with her shoulder drooping. In front of Madam Desta and the Eder's, she murmurs, "We have to pay half the amount of the two contracts. And 500 euros for the other one."

Rosa affectionately says to Dravio, "Fratello (brother), remember your promise."

"What? Only 500 euros?" Dravio takes some bills from his wallet and hands it to Brie.

Brie winks at Dravio and puts the money in her pocket, "It's five hundred thousand euro honey pie. Including the other two contracts, it amounts to almost a million."

Dravio turns his gaze to his sister in his sweetest smile, "Rosa mia, Let Senator Graysen compensate them. He's the father of your baby. If he does not want to pay for you, come back home to us."

Dravio calls for the house help, "Please prepare a double espresso for Brie to keep her chilling more."
