The Demon King Forbidden Bride

Chapter 44

I looked out of the window after I had peed to see that it was dawn, I yawned and walked downstairs to make breakfast. I made toast bread, scrambled egg, and a glass of warm milk. Ryan sluggishly walked downstairs with both his arms crossed, he stood at the banister watching my every move.

“Can’t stop staring at her,'' Shadow appeared from nowhere and muttered, Ryan groaned as he was mad at shadow meddling and always sneaking up on him, asking unnecessary questions. He turned his gaze at shadow and attempted to push him aside. That was what Shadow feared the most, “Wait! I’ve something to say” he blurted out and stepped back from Ryan whose hands were already hanging in the air.

“Make it quick” he paused and brought his hand down. “I got information that your brothers would be here, what are you going to do with them, would you allow them to see her?” Shadow explained hurriedly as he was trying to get himself out of trouble. Ryan said nothing and walked past shadow, who was lost in trance wondering what he could be thinking. He sat down in a seat and watched me eat, I was done eating shortly, I moved upstairs, had my bath, and stepped out of the house.

“Ryan! Where are you going? I just informed you that your brothers would be here” shadow jumped in front of Ryan trying to stop him from leaving.

“I believe you must be tired of living, , get out of the way” he growled and shoved Shadow aside. He staggered and gripped Ryan's feet, “I’m your assistant, how can you treat me so badly? I have to know where you’re going” shadow insisted and tightened his grip on Ryan’s leg. That made him smile and calm his nerves, “I’m following her to work, you can handle Rodney” he asserted and forcefully snatched his feet from Shadow's grip and ambled towards him. Shadow huffed and shot up from the ground, patting the weird dirt off her body, “I know that something odd was going on” he muttered and walked back into the house.

Arriving at work, I met Addison at the table and notified her to follow me to my office. “I read through the proposal and I love it. However, no model would love to work with an unrecognized store” I let out as I sat down on the seat. Addison breathed heavily and had deep thoughts.

“What about we try meeting with different entertainment companies that have many registered models? They could find some models who would be able to do it as long as we paid them a large sum of money.” She explained, I bit my lower lip and thought about what she said.

“I’ll leave it to you, contact every company. Let’s see which one is ready to sign endorsement plans with their model” she nodded and left. “I’d wish things would turn out well,” I said to myself and placed my hand on my jaw.

Addison stepped into my office after a while and notified me that a company has accepted our offer and would like to meet with me. I was overjoyed and was left with the impression that this could be a sign of success. I instructed Addison to schedule a meeting with the company.

“I’ve done that ma’am, we will meet them at lunchtime. Eastern restaurant” she let out, I smiled and felt lucky for having such an overzealous and hardworking secretary. “I’ll leave now!” I nodded and gestured for her to leave. Thinking of how things were going lately, I decided to check the new outfit, I took out the file with the list of the Rey Grandeur product and moved to the basement. I scrolled through the file and carefully checked if every material was solid. However, I realized that some of the outfits were made with fake material. My face turned sullen, “what in the heck name is this?” I surged up with rage and stormed out of the basement.

“Miss Audrey…” Addison asserted but was cut short when I glared at her sternly.

“Where are the workers I selected to work at the production site?” I inquired, trying not to snap.

“They stepped out a few minutes ago,” she responded.

“Call them back right away!” I ordered pacing the reception as I was confused and angry” she hurriedly took out her cellphone and contacted one of the production team.

“Hello Max, take the team and return to the store right now!” She asserted panting heavily.

“What! But we just stepped out to grab lunch”

“Miss Audrey wants you all back in the office in one minute” she ended the call and was sweating profusely.

The production team came back and were standing before me shuddering, none of them had the answer to my question, “Addison! Call the cops” I let out and sat down on the sofa tapping my feet on the ground.

“Please don’t call the cops, it was my mistake” an old-aged man uttered. I arched my brow and motioned him to continue as I was already growing impatient.

“I misplaced the Rey Grandeur new product, that was why I found a duplicate” he explained. I cracked up and strode towards him.

“Do you think I’m gonna buy that?” I asked with a grim face, he stumbled and fell to the ground. “Addison, clean this mess up” I asserted and walked towards my office.

“No, please listen to me. It was the woman that created the scene” he blurted out. I froze for some time and swirled while shooting a glare at him. “She came again but didn’t find you, then she forcefully took the materials produced for the design. I was afraid that I would be relieved from work. That was why I kept it from you and made a duplicate. Please forgive me ma” he explained while pleading, my face turned red as my heart was beating faster, surging up with anger.
