Chapter 9 Giselle vs Danielle
Jason sat in his office, his eyes glued to the laptop. Then the lady earlier came to his mind and he stopped typing.
"Egocentric prince?" He scoffed. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"How dare she call me that?" He mumbled and then took out his phone. He called up Jacob immediately.
"Jacob, in my office, right now.." He said and then hung up.
Jason stood up and undid his tie. The door opened. Jason turned but to his surprise, it was Giselle not Jacob.
"Hi.." She smiled revealing her dimples and Jason sighed.
"What are you doing here, Giselle?" He asked and took his eyes to his phone.
"I just finished shooting so I decided to see you.." Giselle said and bit her lower lip.
"You shouldn't be here, Giselle. Leave.." Jason said and took his eyes to her.
"Just go.." He added and walked to his seat.
Giselle sighed again and looked up with a teary face.
"Just what have I done to deserve this? Despite the fact that we are engaged, you don't talk to me. You just push me away. What does she have that I don't have? I'm beautiful, I'm smart, I'm rich.."
Jason sighed and rested his head backwards.
"Giselle.." He called and she looked at him.
"Do you know what she has and you don't?" He said calmly, looking at her.
"She's not a pest but you are. Quit following me around.." Jason said and Giselle stormed out of his office angrily.
Jason picked up the telephone and called his secretary immediately.
"Yes boss.." She said,
"The next time you let Giselle in, I'll make sure that's the last day you step your foot in this office.." He hung up immediately.
Jacob opened the door and walked in.
"Cut out 10% from your salary.." Jason said coldly and looked at him.
Jacob immediately fell to his knees.
"I'm sorry boss, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to come late. Something just came up! Please have mercy boss.." Jacob pleaded in tears.
"You know the word "mercy" doesn't work well with me. Do as ordered.." Jason said and stood up. He picked up his suit and wore it.
"When's the meeting with the board?" Jason asked and Jacon stood up and wiped off his tears.
"Tomorrow, sir.."
Jason turned to him.
"Did you find out what I asked you to do?"
"Yes, boss.." Jacob said and immediately brought out his tablet.
"Her name is Danielle Brown. She's the daughter of Laura Brown, a well known business tycoon but now she's retired and her daughter took over all she owned.
Danielle Brown is also a model, she contested for miss universe but came second.."
Jason's lips twitched immediately he heard that.
"And sir, she's really pretty. You can check out her pics.." Jacob said and stretched out the tablet to him.
Jason turned to him and gave him a glare and he immediately withdrew his hand.
"I'm sorry boss. I thought you are interested in her, so I.. "
"Interested in her?" Jason asked bemused. He smirked and rubbed his lower lip with his right thumb.
"Actually, I'm thinking of the right way to teach her a lesson for calling me an egocentric prince.."

Elle walked in and slumped on the couch tiredly.
"I'm so tired.." She groaned.
"Welcome back, Miss Brown.." Damien said behind her and she stood up. He was in an apron and a spoon was in his hand.
"Wow! Are you cooking?" Her eyes widened in excitement.
"Yeah and I just set the table.." Damien added and she smiled and ran to the table.
"How do you know I was hungry?" She asked taking a seat.
Damien who was behind her leaned closer to her. Elle faked a smile even though she was not comfortable with their position, then Damien whispered to her.
"You can say guardian angel, I guess.."
Elle stylish hit him.
"Get away from me and let me enjoy my food in peace.."
Damien chuckled and took a seat beside her.
"You made me my favourite. Rice and shrimp sauce. You're the best!" She gave a thumbs up an
d he smiled.
Elle started eating almost immediately.
"Elle, i have to tell you something.."
"Go ahead.."
"Ever since you got to New Zealand. There have been so many offers for you as an endorser but of course, who wouldn't want a stunning beauty like you as the face of their company.." Damien said and Elle chuckled.
"There's this huge company. They want you to be their model and they are willing to give 80% share.." Damien said.
"Hmmn, that's interesting. But I don't think I need that.." Elle said and took a sip of water.
"Come on, just do it and make a name for yourself here also.." Damien said with a smile.
"But what about Mamita?" Elle asked.
"I told her and she agreed. She said it will make your mission more fun.." Damien said and Elle shrugged.
"I'm in.."
"Yess! Thank you!" He said excitedly and Elle chuckled.
"Tomorrow, we will be going to sign the contract.."
"But why the excitement.."
"I.." Damien was about to talk when her phone rang. It was an unknown number.
She furrowed her brows and then picked up the call.
"Hello..." She said,
"Hi, Elle, it's Tyson.." The masculine voice said and Elle dropped her spoon and she smirked.
"Oh, hii handsome.." She faked a sweet voice.
'How have you been?" Tyson asked.
"I'm fine and you?"
"I'm good too.."
"Hm, I just called to invite you to my mum's welcoming party. She will be back from South Korea after six months. We just decided to have a small welcoming party for her.." Tyson said.
Elle's smile faded and she rolled her eyes.
"Of course baby, I'll be there.."
"And I'm so excited to meet your mum.." She said,
"Yeah and she will be surprised to see you. And you know it can give us more time to bond, don't you think?" He said and Elle rolled her eyes.
"Of course, And when I'm bonding with you I'll get to show my true self to you, hope you won't get scared.." Elle said with a strict voice.
"Of course not, I'm looking forward to seeing you. I'll send the address to you.." Tyson said.
"Yeah, baby. I'll see you soon.." Elle said and hung up.
She threw the phone on the table.
'Irritating fools!" She said and rolled her eyes again.
"I'm having a feeling that this party is going to be a blast.." Damien winked at her and she smiled.

THE NEXT DAY.
MIRALLAS' AGENCY.
The car halted and Elle came down from the car. She removed her sunglasses and walked in.
"Maybe I shouldn't have come.." She thought as she sat down. Almost immediately a young man in a suit walked up to her.
"Good morning ma'am. Your assistant called us and informed us of everything. We just have to assist you with the signing process.." The man said and Elle nodded.
"Please, this way, ma'am.." He led the way and Elle stood up and followed him.
As they approached a room. They could hear a voice shouting at someone.
"What's this?"
"How could add someone else there. I'm the face of MIRALLAS' and nobody is taking that from me.." The feminine voice yelled.
"No one is taking it from you, Giselle. I just added her. She's also famous like you. Both of you will help with the success of MIRALLAS'..." Another voice said.
"I don't care and who the hell is she?" Giselle asked. The door opened and Elle and the young guy stepped in.
"Sir, she's here.." he said and the manager looked up.
"You are welcome, Miss Brown.." He said and Elle smiled. Giselle looked at her and she scoffed angrily.
"Giselle, she's the one I've been talking about. As you can see she's as beautiful as you.."
"Oh please, don't you dare compare my beauty to this lowly model. I'm way more superior in beauty." Giselle bragged and Elle smirked.
"And this lowly model is already making you feel inferior. I guess you are the lowly one here.." Elle shot back defensively and Giselle looked at her shocked.
