A knock interrupted their conversation.
"Miss Price, times up please follow me." Jona appeared and greeted Briana with a nod.
'Oh, that's right. I will see you around Br-'
God, it was so disgusting to act like this. She rephrased her words in her mind before saying them.
"I guess we will chat another time Briana, it's fine if I call you by your first name right?"
"Yes of course!"
"Alright, you may call me Adriana as well."
Adriana picked up her purse and followed after Jona.
Briana waited for them to leave.
"Pfft, hahaha. I need to relax." She shook her head with a silly smile feeling the need to facepalm. She was worried for nothing.
.....
"Ralf, Alan Kay once said, 'The best way to predict the future is to invent it.' I think I have done that wall no?"
Ralf glanced outside the doors of LABELS.
Cameras flashed, the front door was completely crowned with reporters and guards trying to hold them back.
"You have...you really have." He replied.
"That's right. I crafted the future so perfectly. It feels like my best creation and I'm very proud of it. That's why it upsets me when someone tries to falter what I have already made…."
Ralf shivered. That tone in her voice only meant one thing.
"Tenel Lee, eliminate him." Adriana gave Jona a smile when he gave her an apologetic smile.
Ralf took a deep breath to compose himself. He can never get used to that tone of hers.
Tenel Lee, the boyfriend of one of her major competitors. A few minutes ago she received news from his company that there was a problem with her order and her fabrics will arrive a month late. This is a big problem because the plan is to burn these materials down as soon as they arrive at their warehouse.
Once the fabric is burned and the whole warehouse along with it Adriana would be forced to come back to Paris and deal with the problem. How could she allow anyone to stop her from going back to Paris? Not only does she has business to handle there regarding her revenge but she has to see her son.
Mr.Lee has already gotten on her nerves plenty of times, if his products weren't the best in the country Adriana would have eliminated him long ago.
Ralf, who had seen things like this happen before should already be used to it but no. Commands like this always creeped him out. His Madam becomes a control freak when it comes to her most beautiful creation. Anyone who dares to falter it is eliminated.
He understood it though, it's a dangerous game and she has to make sure everything goes perfectly or else she would lose.
"Justine, how did your first visit at LABELS go?"
"Justine when are you planning to make a press conference about your unexpected face reveal?"
"Justine!"
"Justine can you please allow us to interview you!"
"Justine! Justine!"
'Thank God Aria and James isn't here.' Adriana thought. It would definitely scare her poor babies.
"Justine who was behind your face reveal?"
"You mentioned that you would respond to our questions back at the airport!"
"Like I said before, an official press conference will be held when I'm ready to discuss the situation. For now PLEASE respectfully retreat and allow the bodyguards to do their job." She smiled at them and followed Ralf and Jona into the black car waiting for them.
The reporters started retreating after taking a few more pictures. Thanks to her help the guards were able to clear the front door.
"How troublesome," Adriana mumbled and closed the car door.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
She heard the doors close so she could tell Jona had taken the driver's seat and Ralf the one next to it.
She then remembered that they are supposed to eat lunch. She gritted her teeth and turned to the sound of papers flipping.
She felt the need to groan when she saw who it was.
She saw him lift his head so she looked away. She put one leg over the other and crossed her arms. The drive to the restaurant where a reservation was made beforehand was quiet.

"Hmmm, mmmm yeah hmmm." Aria hummed the song that was playing on a speaker around Caroline's house.
She was at the coffee table in the living room drawing with her crayons, while Caroline was cooking lunch.
"Ooo, is this a new song?" Aria placed her crayon down and she ran towards Caroline's phone at the other end of the room. She looked at the name of the song curiously and started singing it.
"I just took a DNA test...I'm a hundred percent bad- huh?"
"Ahaha, let's play another song." Caroline paused the music in a hurry.
"Your mother will kill me if she knows you almost listened to bad words." Caroline sighed in relief. Aria shrugged and went back to her drawing.
"Play more music auntie!!" She encouraged me. Music helped her concentrate on the drawing a lot.
"Also...what's a DNA test?" She asked.
Caroline played a new song but lowered the volume so that they could talk. "It's a test a doctor does between two people to see if they are related." She explained.
"But if they are related wouldn't they know already? I know my brother is my brother so I wouldn't do a DNA test right? Unless he isn't…" Her eyes rounded in shock.
"Does that mean he might not be my brother?"
Caroline chuckled. "No no, your mommy carried both you and your brother in her tummy. There is no way you two aren't related. You guys are twins after all."
"For example, me and your mommy didn't know we were sisters until we took a DNA test. That's because we were separated when we were little and didn't remember each other's existence." She continued.
"Did you guys get separated like me and brother?" Aria asked.
"Not exactly but it's a bit similar yes."
"Ah, I see. So that means if relatives get separated they can take a DNA taste at the doctor's and see if they are really related!"
"Exactly...aww you are so cute and smart." Caroline ruffled her hair.
"Of course I am auntie, I take after my mom!" Aria lifted her chin with that cute arrogance of hers.
"Yes yes, now go wash up. Lunch is ready!"
Aria nodded and ran to the bathroom to wash her hands.
Caroline took a peek at her drawing and she sighed.
She had received a picture from Crystal earlier of something James had drawn. It was him and his sister in the Eiffel tower. Just like her brother Aria did the same. She didn't know whether to be impressed or freaked out.
