HIS TRUE BEAUTY

“Jessi please”

I whispered my eyes closed pissed.

“They said, Kathy dumped him, he is not too good in bed and also not her type that’s why”.

Jessi continued.

“Just shut it please”.

I pleaded with Jessi, the two continued arguing.

“What meeting, It’s either you choose to work here or your baecation whatever” .

“You’re not even the boss of this company, Manager indeed”

Kathy snapped back.

“Maybe the Manager sounds like a joke to you, I dare you to leave this company without a permit”

The continued arguing.

His assistant cuts in

“Sir”

“What”

He snapped back like a sounded lion.

Kathy flip her hair, elegantly, admiring her nails unbothered.

“The meeting time”.

She replied coldly.

***

We all walked in to the conference room for the meeting.

Kathy was the last person to walk in her hands folded, you don’t just find a good paying company on the streets overnight, and ours is like highest ranked.

“First I noticed our new models, not taking this seriously, out fashion show is around the corner, Jessi I told you to couch them” Fred was boiling obviously.

Jessi stood up slowly.

“Sir, we are trying our best, the new girls are not professionals yet”.

“Then make them to be one, if you can’t do this work, say so! Some of them are getting really fat no fitness, or …”

He stopped then turned to me.

“….. Beauty!”

I raised my eyebrows absentmindedly.

They never called my name in this section of the meeting, beacuse all they talk about are the models and appearances.

I stood up.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Yes?”

“Excuse us for a few minutes, seeing your body size discourage those girls from keeping fit, they won’t take me serious, when I talk about designs I will call you, no offense”.

Not even a pin drop could be heard, for that moment. I guessed everyone felt it.

Not even Jessi dare challenge him after that statement.

I glanced at each of my colleagues at the table, some of them feel bad for me, others amused.

The ladies skin, beautiful jaw, nice shapes and beautiful hairs, all dressed in fashionable crop tops, except me.

Yes sir”I nodded.

Jessi’s face turned pale, I am sure, she really wanted to say something to him, but afraid to lose her job.

I got emotional, my legs shakes nervously

I walked slowly out of the room. Just then I heard mockery chuckles from the room

as I closed the door.

**AUTHORESS’S POV**

After that statement of Fred, Jessi had it tight on the chest, she so much wanted to say something.

“I need to say something to this fool, I don’t blame him. I blamed Bruno for rejecting his dad’s offer to take over the company’s management, with his reason of giving it to someone capable, he don’t want to fly to the top but work hard to get there, now this piece of shit, thinks he is a god”.

She clenched her fist as her thoughts got her even more angry.

She opened her mouth to spill it bit someone else spoke first.

“…… I don’t think her presence will really affect these girls, and also she isn’t fat but healthy, you added no offense, but your statement is quite offensive, she is the brain of this company, her designs are really top-notch and…”.

She looked at the speaker surprised, Bruno talked for the second time during meeting and all to defend Beauty?

Why?

How!

She secretly wished Beauty was there to hear this again.

Fred thick brows arched, he looked at Bruno.

“Mr Bruno, are you trying to counter my instructions, you asked me to be the manager, I never begged for it, why are you behaving like I owe you for this, if you don’t want to work under me , talk to your dad to make you the manager and don’t use that opportunity to disrespect me and make me your toy”.

He snapped angrily.

Bruno held his gaze coldly and said nothing.

The room became heated by the dead stare from both sides.

“Gosh Fred is a big fool! I wish I can curse him physically, cursing him in my head isn’t enough”.

Jessi said to herself.

Bruno sighed and stood up.

“I never meant to disrespect you, I said what’s right, those words are harsh, I won’t apologise for telling you that, keep your nasty tongue out of business, treat everyone with respect, especially Beauty”.

Jessi felt like she had chills down her entire body.

“Especially Beauty? Oh dear how I wish you are here Beauty! You have a fan! Mr Bruno? This is werid but I am happy”.

She screamed inside.

Fred red eyes burned ragely, stared at Bruno blinklessly.

At that point Fredwished he ain’t the Boss’s son, he could sack him with a click of his finger.

“Can we get back to our meeting, you guys are taking my time”.

Kathy snapped scrolling through her phone with a carefree expression.

“Celine and Ivy stand”.

Fred’s assistant May, continued from where he stopped, as the Boss wasn’t done with his dead stare battle with Bruno.

The two models stood up.

“You will be given a chance to prove your worthiness, you have the lowest rankings, if you don’t have have money for surgery then I am afraid you can’t be part of this beauty company, fix yourselves”.

“Yes ma’am”.

They chorused sadly.

Fred held up a hand to stop May from making further decisions.

“That’s enough for today”.

He announced.

Everyone took their leave, Jessi wished for a knockout between the two but unfortunately she also had to leave.

As soon as she left the room, Bruno stood up to leave, he was about to pull the door open.

“What is it with you and that fatty?”

Fred folded his hands, his butt aganist the high conference table.

Bruno paused.

“Did she like bribe you to defend her, that helpless mice, I don’t want to think about the gross moment where she had to pull off her clothes, I love women too, but I have standards even if it’s for one night stand”.

“Are you done?”

Bruno finally replied.

Fred chuckled and stood straight.

“Yes.. yes I am”.

Bruno turned and walked back to him. Fred smirked and tucked his hands into the pocket waiting for a response or a reaction.

Bruno stopped Infront of Fred then he smiled. That took all the courage inside of him and replace them with fear.

He was a total different person no oneat the comp has seen him smile.

“His smile is so evil, or did he intentional did that to scare me? Dang it, it’s working”.

Fred said clenching his nervous hands.

Bruno was looking like a tall rigid wall Infront of him. He has never been intimidated by his presence and height as a 5’8 man while Bruno is 6’8.

Possibly because of his humility but at this point, Fred couldn’t stand it.

Bruno leaned lower and whispered to his ears.

“One more word about her, I will show you even more interesting sides of me, trust me you have no idea”.
