Veena seated herself beside Lois and he placed his arm around her shoulders. He filled her glass with wine and they clinked their glasses together.
"I'm sure you didn't steal me away from the party just to have a drink with you." she began.
"Can't I see my wife privately?"
She flushed. Why is he being so sweet these days? The breakfast this morning, this dress and now he wanted her alone in a private room.
"The contract for Luxuria is ready and the only thing I'll be needing is your signature. There is no need for the construction of the building everything is already done. The location is closer to my company so I can keep an eye on you if ever your family tries to do something against you."
She took the contract and signed it without reading the details. She trusts Lois that's why she didn't bother to read it. "You don't have to be worried about me I can take care of myself. I have Abby to protect me."
"No."
Other than the largest fashion industry company, Fontana. They may have influenced the success of the fashion industry, but the Rossenov was the front line of Geneva's economic growth. The Rossenov family is also known for their ruthless ruling in the business world. They are the largest and the wealthiest family in Geneva. With over a wealth worth hundreds of billions they have always remained their grounds no matter what competition or enemies they are facing.And Aloysius Rossenov is the man that fits the description. He will always remain a mysterious figure to the public because of his highly secured privacy information. He never attends business functions and this is the first time he attended a party.It was unexpected that he is a dangerously handsome man. Everyone thought that the CEO is an old man, but they were wrong. Women began cluttering around, fixing themselves to look good in front of the great Mr. Rossenov.Veena
Veena was roughly pulled away from Lois' arms and Stephen pushed her behind him. What is he doing!? Is he even aware that this scandalous scene will taint the Sullivan family's image? "How dare you put your hands on her!" Stephen growled at Lois. Lois did not react and was calm throughout Stephen's screaming anger. This reaction provoked Stephen and made him furious, because of anger his hand on Veena tightened. Veena winced and tried to remove his hand on her arm. It hurts. Before Stephen could do anything Lois stepped forward and pushed him, falling to the floor. The pain from Veena's face made him act recklessly. He growled upon seeing the bruise on his wife's arm. He held her in a protective manner. "For a man with a noble family name. You do like to manhandle women and for losing your cool easily. I wonder how will the rest of the Sullivan family react. You are the future of the Sullivan's business and tainting yo
Veena waited patiently in the VIP room with Abby. The curtains are now opened and she can see the events going on below. Tonight's segment is Lois' speech. As the wealthiest man in Geneva everyone are curious about him since there is not that much information about his private life. The host even requested for Lois to make a speech because it is a rare occassion that he attends party gatherings.Someone gently knocked on the door and a handsome man came in."Greetings! My name is Spencer Finley and I'm here to accompany you to a different VIP room. My friend, Lois, wishes to give you a better view once he gives out tonight's speech." he introduced himself.Veena squinted her eyes. Still not believing this gentleman's words. "Why should I trust you?"Spencer laughed nervously. Veena's cold eyes turned him into a scared puppy. This is his first time meeting Veena Harrison and did not expect the fierceness she has shown.
Veena was satsified of the results Lois had shown of for Luxuria's new building. They've known each other for a few weeks and he already knows her tastes, likes and dislikes. He will do anything to make her happy, which she appreciated the most. "Thank you for this, Lois. All of this won't be possible without you." she hugged him. Lois smiled softly and returned her embrace, patting her head. "Anything for my wife." "I need to go and arrange everything. The team has already made a lot of designs these past few days and only few preparations left then we are ready for our first fashion show." Veena said excitedly. "Can't wait. I'll be expecting a lot." Luxuria only has few employees at the moment and most of them were those Ashley unfairly fired from their jobs. They were happy that their boss is back and will be helping her in taking down Fontana. "Good morning, boss! All preparations are set." Mishy, the team manager said. "Morning, Mishy. Tell everyone to take a break. I boug
They immediately took down Sherley's photos from the public and will do PR work soon. Veena was calm all throughout the day. Sherley has chosen the wrong enemy. Lois supported her as he too will be doing damage control. Luxuria is a subsidiary company under Rossenov after all. "Are you sure to remove Sherley's photos? If we do then those clothes won't be featured in the first show." Madam Trancy asked. Veena knew that Madam Trancy is right. If only there is a solution to it. Chelsy Moor, the assistant designer, felt the tension in the room. She has a suggestion but she's not sure if the boss would agree. "M-Miss Veena, I have a solution to the problem," Chelsy spoke up. Veena gestured the girl to continue. "You are a beautiful woman. Miss Veena. Honestly, Sherley's beauty is nothing compared to you. My designs was worn by Sherley and that dress was inspired from you. It is a dream to see you wear my designs. T-This is just my suggestion it's okay if you don't like it." Chelsy
"Miss Veena! We have another problem." Madam Trancy announced. Veena's eyes turned cold. Clearly irritated that another issue has come forth. Whoever is doing this they are trying to prevent Luxuria from ever marking it's first show. "Speak.""Most of the invitations we sent were rejected. The guests said they have their eyes on Fontana's new fashion line. Fontana's fashion show starts earlier than ours and it clashes to Luxuria's schedule. I'm afraid no one would watch." Madam Trancy explained. Veena bit her lip. She knew it. Ashley has made her move and that is to push her competitor down. Her dear sister doesn't know yet that she is the one designing Luxuria. Ashley is just brainless and chose the wrong enemy. How brave of her to go against the Rossenov's. Is Ashley expecting Stephen's family to save her? Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan didn't even like Ashley and favored over her. "Continue with the preparations. The show must go on no matter how much guests will come in tonight. Don't
The audience were in awe of the amazing designs of Luxuria. The cloth materials are high quality and were used with care.They can tell that it was sewed perfectly as if a magician chanted magic words on them. The colors complimented each other well. No one ever thought of combining brown, gold and green. The color of Nature. Another model walked in with a monarch butterfly-inspired gown. The skirt reached above the knee with the butterfly's wings as the skirt. The combination of black and yellow-orange gradient colors perfected the gown. Madam Deverux gasped as the third dress graced the runway. A glittered, black, mermaid gown with azure flame patterns and a sweetheart neckline. Everyone cheered as more incredible designs was shown by Luxuria's masterpiece. They loved the azure flame gown the most and wanting to order one right away. Veena smiled from behind the back stage. The show was a success! She was able to find runway models in time because of Lois' help. Without him none
Veena grumbled and rolled over to her side. Her arm flailed on the bed but instead of the soft bed she felt something hard and rough instead. She opened her eyes and was greeted with Lois' peaceful sleeping face. He looks so serene in his sleep compared to the cold CEO that everyone knew. She couldn't understand of her own actions last night. She came to him out of her own will. It felt like this marriage is turning into something else. For a man with elegant tastes he ate greasy burgers with her without complaining. Drinking cheap and delicious wine, eat chinese takeout and do anything an average person would do. She couldn't understand what was running in his mind He didn't even care when she played under the rain one time. He joined her and danced with the wild pattering of the rain. These made her heart jolt in a weird way as if he's into her... She shook her head. No, there is still the deal between them. She can't assume things right away. He wants her company and all
