Chapter 22 - unemotional Tone

All the women involved in the chaos were brought to the main office.

Sapphire here is an esteemed guest. Who gave you the right to hurt her like this? He asked both Anisa and Diana with a cold, unemotional tone.

No need to be so dramatic, it's just water. It's not like she's dying. Anisa replied, denying her own actions.

Also, why would you want to sign a contract with someone like her? Can't you see the way she's dressed? So scandalous! Anisa really didn't know how to keep her mouth shut. Even after getting caught, she was still letting it run like water.

You should just get out of here. We don't want you! She said as she pointed at the door. Rose had enough of this pathetic drama. She turned to Ricardo, walked closer to him and pressed both of her palms on his table, staring straight into his eyes with a cold gaze and spoke in a low tone.

Is this how you are treating your guest, Mr Croft? By pouring water on them and treating them like a piece of shit? If you didn't want to make a contract with me, just say so from the beginning. No need for such rude treatment. Everyone could tell this woman was truly pissed. She leaned in closer to him, their faces were only a few inches apart from each other.

You have truly insulted me, Mr. Croft. The atmosphere turned heavy and tense. Her amber eyes gleamed with so much wrath and dominance. It took Ricardo by surprise. He thought she would be an agreeable soul, like Diana. No, he was completely mistaken. This woman was a wolf, a beast.

It was also then when he realized something, the woman before him was the same woman he encountered that night, at Gloria's wedding banquet.

The features were slightly different, thanks to makeup, but she was definitely the same person. He hadn't noticed it before. Those pair of amber eyes were the same.

The woman who irritated him turned out to be the rising star, Sapphire. It also meant they had offended her twice. The first was when Diana yelled at her child, the second was this.

Ricardo froze in place for a moment before turning to Anisa. Anisa, apologize to her! He said firmly, his voice was low and dangerous.

Why should I apologize to her? She's a nobody! Anisa refused. Shut your mouth! Apologize to her right now or don't step into this building ever again! He raised his voice. Judy took a step forward and tried to persuade Anisa.

Miss Anisa, please just apologize. Anisa did not have it. She was trying to get a quick escape and someone to blame.

It's all because of you! She slapped Judy in the face, causing her to fall on the ground and the edge of her lips bled a little bit.

Some other staff members who witnessed it rushed to help Judy stand up. They put on a disgusted expression towards Anisa's action and subconsciously stood at Rose's side. Seeing as if they were taking Rose's side, or who she knew as Sapphire, Anisa was becoming more infuriated.

She was going to create more chaos, but this time she was stopped.

Anisa, let's just stop. I understand you have good intentions, and I'm grateful, but Ricardo may not. I don't want to strain my relationship with him, so please just do as he says. Diana grabbed Anisa's hand.

Anisa finally stopped and carefully walked to Ricardo.

Ricardo, I just wanted to teach her a lesson. I thought she would interfere with your relationship. Get lost, I don't want to see your face! He shouted, enough to startle almost everyone in the room. Diana had never seen Ricardo this mad before. It must be a combination of her action towards Sapphire and what she did to Judy as well. If Ricardo didn't do anything about it, he would lose his face in front of his employees.

Ricardo approached Rose and apologized.
