Regina was angry that Canary left her there.
In the designers' office, the buzz about the new employee was electric.
Richie leaned over Jenny's desk, lowering his voice conspiratorially.
"Have you heard about the new hire?" Richie asked, his eyes wide with curiosity. "They say she's even more beautiful than Camilla!"
Jenny looked up from her sketches, raising an eyebrow. "More beautiful than Camilla? That's hard to believe. Who is she?"
Richie shrugged. "Her name's Regina. She's Joel's adviser, but nobody seems to know much about her. Everyone's been talking about her since last week."
Jenny smirked. "Well, if she's that stunning, I need to see her for myself. Camilla's been the face of elegance here forever. If someone's stealing her spotlight, it's going to be interesting."
"I heard she's like a walking goddess," Richie added dramatically. "Even the shareholders were distracted by her during the meeting today."
Jenny chuckled, shaking her head. "Alright, Richie. Let's go see this so-called goddess during lunch. I want to see what the fuss is all about."
As Jenny and Richie continued their conversation, the door to the designers' office opened, and Lisa walked in with Gladys.
Both were engrossed in their own discussion, not paying attention to the duo by the corner.
Jenny's eyes flicked to Lisa, and she leaned closer to Richie, lowering her voice. "Look who it is. That bitch.she thinks she owns the world...'"
Richie snickered. "All because she's dating Canary. She walks around like she's untouchable."
Jenny rolled her eyes. "Remember when we used to tease her? Those were good times until Canary stepped in and shut us down."
"Yeah, now we can't say a word to her face," Richie muttered, glancing at Lisa from the corner of his eye. "But that doesn't stop us from talking, does it?"
They both chuckled quietly, their voices just low enough not to be overheard.
Lisa and Gladys, oblivious to the gossip, went about their work, while Jenny and Richie continued their petty murmurs, their envy simmering beneath the surface.
During lunch, Regina sat in the company cafeteria, casually sipping her drink as her eyes scanned the room.
Earlier, Camilla had mentioned that Canary was dating someone named Lisaa designer in the company.
The information intrigued her.
"Lisa," she murmured to herself, her curiosity piqued. "Let's see who this girl is."
Regina subtly observed the tables, looking for clues. She noticed a group of designers seated together, chatting animatedly, and decided to start there.
Rising gracefully, she approached their table with an effortless smile.
"Mind if I join you?" she asked, her tone friendly yet commanding.
The designers, surprised by her presence, quickly made space for her. Simon and Dan seated together, exchanged a knowing glance, not believing that this beautiful woman wanted to sit with them.
As they chatted, Regina casually brought up the topic. "I've been hearing a lot about the talented design team here. Who are the standout stars?"
Richie leaned forward, eager to contribute. "Oh, we've got some great designers. Lisa's one of them. She's…"
Regina's smile didn't falter, though her interest sharpened. "Lisa? I'd love to meet her. Is she around?"
Richie nodded, pointing toward a corner of the room where Lisa sat with Gladys, engrossed in conversation. "That's her, over there."
Regina followed his gaze, her eyes landing on Lisa. She took in the girl's casual demeanor, her simple yet confident presence.
"Interesting," Regina said softly, her smile deepening. She thanked the group for their company and stood, her next move already forming in her mind.
As she walked away she took one more last glance at Lisa.
' I can't believe he chose you over everyone. But don't worry, This is your last day with Canary..'.
Regina vowed as she went back to her office.

The following day, Regina walked into Joel's office, her heels clicking against the floor as she closed the door behind her.
Joel looked up from his desk, raising an eyebrow at her sudden entrance.
"I need a favor," Regina said, her tone firm yet composed.
Joel leaned back in his chair, intrigued. "What kind of favor?"
Regina stepped closer, lowering her voice. "I need you to get me a secret cameraman. Someone discreet, trustworthy."
Joel frowned slightly, his curiosity piqued. "And what exactly do you need a cameraman for?"
Regina smiled faintly, her eyes sharp. "Just do as I say, Joel. Trust me, you won't regret it."
Joel studied her for a moment, sensing there was more to her plan than she was letting on.
But her confidence was persuasive, and he eventually nodded. "Fine. I'll handle it. But I expect results."
Regina's smile widened. "Oh, you'll get results, Joel. Just wait and see."
With that, she turned and left, leaving Joel both intrigued and cautious about whatever scheme she was planning next.

On Thursday moring, Joel walked into Regina's office with a young man by his side. Regina, seated at her desk, looked up as they entered.
"Regina," Joel began, gesturing toward the man, "this is David. He's the cameraman you asked for. Discreet, skilled, and completely trustworthy."
David, a slender man in his mid-20s with sharp eyes and an unassuming demeanor, stepped forward.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Vexar. I understand you need someone for a… delicate assignment."
Regina stood, extending her hand with a small smile.
"Thank you for coming, David. Joel speaks highly of you, so I trust you'll be perfect for the job."
David nodded. "I always deliver."
Joel crossed his arms, watching the exchange.
"David knows how to stay invisible. Whatever you have planned, he'll handle it smoothly."
Regina's smile deepened. "Good. I'll give you the details soon, David. For now, just be ready."
David nodded again before stepping back. Joel gave her a questioning look as they left. "I hope you know what you're doing," he said.
Regina smirked, her confidence unwavering. "Don't worry, Joel.
This is just the beginning."
