Chapter 5

Mina is furious. She wants revenge. She is jealous of Camilla. She doesn't trust her. She believes that Camilla is not loyal to Xavier. She is totally wrong.

Mina has similar career with Camilla's. She also works hard and studies hard for many years. But Camilla's appearance destroyed her unique position in the company. Even though she tried hard but she cannot believe Mr. Xavier gave her project to Camilla. She starts to doubt herself.

She does not know when her jealousy become hatred. She hates Camilla without knowing it. She knows that she is wrong but cannot stop herself from hating Camilla. She has no intention to help Camilla in any way.

Mina is in the office and reads Camilla's email. She has written: Mina, please send all your previous research about Project Cilla to me by tomorrow 6.00 am.

Mina is shocked. She is not able to understand why Camilla would write such a message. She does not know what to do. She is not sure if she should forward the research or destroy it.

Mina decides do some trick. She changes cost estimate spreadsheet so the outcome could be ridiculous. If Camilla can't find out she will be ruined.

Mina does a terrible thing. She sends email to her rival with the data of the new cost estimate.

What a joke. What a wickedness.

Camilla finds it strange. She feels uneasy for Mina's cooperative attitude but cannot tell why. When she is about to speak to Mina, she receive a call from Xavier, asking her to do a investment decision presentation on the board by tomorrow.

It is urgent. He insists.

She has no choice. She agrees.

Camilla has no choice but to rely on Mina's work. She understands that she can't trust Mina. She knows that she is playing with fire but she can't turn back now.

"I hope we can continue to work together, Miss Camilla." Mina smiles cunningly when she hears Camilla is going to do presentation tomorrow.

Camilla nods.

The next day, Camilla is in the meeting room. She is in her best dress: a dark blue strapless and long skirt. She wears a black high heel shoes with light black stocking. She has her hair down. She has makeup and lipstick. She even put on her best lingeries. She stands up and walks to the stage, where she waits for her audience, like a soldier waits for the enemy army.

"You are gonna to win this battle Camilla." She said to herself.

The board is quite big. About 10 people. Including Xavier, Derek and another man she never saw. The other man is in his 50s. He is balding, broad and fat. He looks tough and mean. His eyes are cold and hard.

Mr. Xavier sits at the head of the table. Camilla takes a deep breath and begins her presentation.
