Yvette and Rose met each other at the entrance of the company. The staff that had been polite and humble to her ignored her. Which made her question why so she stopped and looked back.
Her eyes landed on a slim but perfect figure dressed in a blue top and jeans. Even though the outfit wasn't fashionable like her, Rose pulled it off so stylishly with her long black hair, white beautiful skin, and red lips. She was simple but still elegant which attracted attention.
But what puzzled yet, even more, was the way the staff treated her. It was like she was so important and respected than her.
Ever since she appeared her smooth life had taken turns. First, her position was given to Rose, then her respect and attention from others. It was all gone and her useless boyfriend could not tell her anything.
She had begged him last night to tell her about Rose but he refused.
"She's someone you should not mess with. Just let her do what she wants and don't get in her way " was all he could say to her.
But Yvette wasn't a coward who was going to go down like that. She has done a lot of horrible things to get where she was and she wasn't going to lose it to a mysterious nobody.
She watched Rose smiled as she passed by the staff and reception. A handsome man was beside her, following her as they chatted.
"Was he year boyfriend, but he didn't look powerful to make her be feared by even the director of the company who was her boyfriend" she thought.
They passed by her like she wasn't even there making her angry.
"Hey, I think am too pretty to be ignored by a bunch of hyenas " she shouted at Rose's and Harry.
They both stopped and looked at her. Rose held a disgusted look on her face.
"You called me what?" she asked.
Yvette laughed as she said the words again with more emphasis.
"Don't tell me your think otherwise cause to me you're just nothing " She added.
Rose wondered if Yvette was just an attention seeker or just another crazy being. All she did was pass by her and ended up being called a hyena of all things.
She looked around everybody was looking at them both. They all knew who she was apart from the models who knew nothing. Arthur had made them seal their lips or lose their jobs if they told the one's who didn't know anything.
If she didn't do anything right now she wasn't going to be taken seriously or right for being their boss.
She gave her bag to Harry who took it immediately. He had spent most of his youthful days with her so he knew her temper. She was a devil if she needed to with a very bad temper.
She walked to Yvette who had a smirk on her face after saying all her nonsense to Rose.
Rose slapped her the moment she appeared in front of her. It was a strong angry powerful slap that pushed her down to the floor. It sounded through the hall space. Everyone who was there was shocked to see what had transpired.
"I might be a hyena to you but am also someone you won't like to mess with cause am not like all the weak ones you bullied before, " Rose said to Yvette who was still on the floor.
She walked away after without a second look at her and disappeared into an elevator.
Yvette was shocked and hurt, tears welled up in her eyes as her manager helped her up. She knew about Rose's identity and had warned her but Yvette was such a stupid person that she didn't it anyway. Now She had received something for her stupidity which made her manager half happy and surprised.
No one had dared to treat her like this, so it had come as a shock to Yvette. No one said anything as they went back to their jobs.
She walked to her boyfriend's office who was in the middle of signing documents.
Without knocking she barged in, stomped towards him with her eyes full of tears and her blazing red slapped cheek.
He was surprised to see it so he angrily asked who had done it to her pretty face. But when he had who and what had happened he went back to his seat and continued what he was doing.
"You didn't hear me, that bitch slapped me. I want her out of the company now " she shouted.
He put down his pen and looked at her. If it want for her pretty face and the company's welfare he would have dumped her long ago. But he had to withstand it since he had nothing else to do.
But then Arthur appeared with the most beautiful innocent looking woman he had ever seen. He was shocked to know she was his wife and she surprised them more when she attended the company meeting on her first day.
She was from a simple background but her intelligence and confidence were incredible it earned her respect.
Arthur had given strict instructions to let Rose do anything she wanted since the company was partly hers too. He was told to keep his girlfriend at bay or they would both lose their lives and jobs. And he knew Arthur never made empty promises.
He sighed as he watched Yvette whine like a baby with her swollen red cheek. Rose deserved Arthur. She had the attitude that wasn't easily pulled down.
"I told you to stay far away from her but you still provoked her," he said.
"WHAT...I didn't do anything g wrong and you in her side " she cried more.
He moved towards her and soothed her, but still didn't take action. on Rose.
She pushed him away, " If you're too scared to face her I will do it myself. Am not some piece of paper that I can be tossed away after humiliation" she walked out of his office.
He watched her walk out and wondered if it was finally time to let her go.
Yvette arrived at the fitting room, everybody seemed to have heard about her encounter with Rose. They looked at her with mockery as she passed by them. Her assigned designer saw her and started on her attires.
No one said anything but Yvette heard little whispers from them.
"Finally someone who can show her where she belongs," someone said.
The rest giggled as they stole glanced toward her direction. It made her even angrier.
After they were all done they moved to the stage and practiced their catwalk.
Yvette finally saw Rose's figure among the rest walking. She looked different from his she was a while ago when she slapped her. It was that angry crazy woman had disappeared leaving an angel-like human.
She was laughing and cheating with others as they walked around the stage. Yvette watched her, Rose moved elegantly with beautiful steps. Yvette wondered where she had been all this time to appear now. She was mysterious, different, and dangerous since no one wanted to tell her who she was.
Someone said something to Rose, and she turned in Yvette's direction who was surprised to see her look her way.
Rose glanced at her and looked away with disgust. Yvette felt scared and angry. She became more intrigued to no more about Rose no matter.
Rehearsal ended, they were told to go back and rest since the show started at noon the next day. Rose and Harry left after she said goodbye to her new friends.
"They seem to like you now," he told her.
"They don't like me like, it just that I was able to put down their enemy that they see me as someone useful," she said.
"I missed seeing you in action, what you did today was terrific " Harry complimented her.
"I won't wait until she does something bad to me to show her who I am. A lot of people think am the wonderful gentle Rose that they don't expect me to act that way. But she had it coming " Rose said.
Her driver drove her back to the hotel as they chatted in the back of the car.
Arthur called her, which gave her a chance to tell him what happened.
"It's my company too so I can do anything I want " Rose laughed as she told Arthur.
"You finally accept it, you can do anything you want with it. And if she does anything more don't hold back " Arthur told her.
"After all, I have gone through I won't hold back anymore," she said.
