The Demon King Forbidden Bride

Chapter 52

Back at home, I got a call from Rodney who notified me that he has gotten the task done, I smiled and felt fulfilled. Audrey would be glad that she got to work with DX Entertainment Group, I thought as I stepped into the villa.

However, it wasn’t long before I heard her answer an exciting call in the room, screaming for joy. My lips raised into a smile as I felt relieved to have lifted a heavy burden from her shoulder, at least this could be the only thing she gained before leaving the villa.

~Audrey~

It was a brand new day and still the same day I would head to DX Group, my secretary Addison had recovered and was eager to make plans for Rey Grandeur.

“Miss Audrey, the Uber is here” she asserted as she walked into the office. I nodded and closed the file before me. I straightened my outfit, took my purse, and strode out of the office. Addison followed behind me while moving to the cab she had ordered, the driver took off the moment we entered the cab. Atlas, the long ride to the DX Group ended, Addison paid up the cab driver and led me into the DX Entertainment Group which was a large company, my jaw dropped as I laid my eyes on the structure of the Enterprise which was beneath my reach. I still wonder what made the CEO of the Enterprise change his mind to work with me, this is a massive turnover but I’m still overwhelmed and ready to do anything for this to work.

We took the elevator to the last floor and met with the same secretary from the last meeting. “You’re here Miss Audrey” I nodded with a smile. She exchanged pleasantries with Addison and ushered us to the lobby where waited for her to arrange the models which were available, from there I would use the ones that would showcase my new designs.

Shortly, the secretary came back, “it’s all ready. You will have to go to the conference room” she asserted. We followed the secretary to the conference hall where I met a couple of models that looked nice while some were minor. I turned to Addison and motioned her to choose the perfect ones for our plan. She nodded happily and carefully scanned through the male and female models. Moments later, she pointed out to five males and six females, swirled to the secretary, and nodded her head.

“Well, this is nice! You chose the best out of the models. I’d have to congratulate you on our cooperation” she asserted and exchanged a handshake with Addison.

“You will have to sign a few documents, it’s the contract between you and the models. If you may” she let out and gestured us out of the conference room and led me to the CEO’s office where I signed a six-month contract with the models.

“Thank you, Mr. Thompson, let’s have good cooperation” I mumbled, exchanged pleasantries with him, and left the office. “How did it go?” Addison asked as I stepped out of Mr. Thompson's office. She has been standing in the corridor waiting to hear the great news of sealing the deal.

“Perfect! You will meet with the secretary and settle the content of the contract” I uttered and handed her a card that contained one billion dollars. It would be enough for the p*****t, I thought to myself. She nodded and moved to the secretary’s office. I took the elevator to the last floor, hailed a cab, and went back to my store. I threw my purse on the sofa and sat down. I took out the document that had the offer from Mr. Baldwin and smiled as I went through it. “I’ll get back to you when I hit one billion sales on the Rey Grandeur new products” I mumbled caressing the paper.

“Buzz!” My cellphone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts. I closed the file, reached for my cell phone which was in my purse, and checked the caller. “Addison!” I muttered and connected the call while wondering why she isn’t back?

“What’s the matter Addison and why haven’t you returned to the store?” I threw questions at her just as I connected the call, she sighed and notified me that DX Group has refused to accept any p*****t for the contract we signed with the models. I sprang up from the seat with the thought that he might have refused to work with me after much deliberation. I was about to speak when Addison's voice cut me short.

“It’s not what you’re thinking, Miss Audrey” she let out with a deep breath. Although I heard that the deal was still on, I was still scared he might find an excuse to terminate it. After rummaging through my brain, I found no reason for them to refuse p*****t after giving us a lot of influential models with nice backgrounds. It could be that they’re up to something that wouldn’t be good.

“The secretary made it known to me that an anonymous person had decided to assist you with the p*****t, so there is no need to bother” my eyes nearly popped out of their socket when I heard Addison's explanation. Neither could I scream or speak as I was tongue-tied.

“Hello!”

“Miss Audrey” she tried to call my attention but I was frozen with shock. She ended the call, entered a cab, and headed straight to the store. She was afraid that I might have fallen or gotten into a state of shock.

“Where is the boss?” She asked Mara as she walked into the store. Mara shrugged and notified her that I might be in my office, she shot her a glare, “incompetent” she mumbled and rush up to my office. I was still standing with my gaze focused on the window attempting to digest the information which Addis had conveyed to me.
