CHAPTER TWENTY

MIRABEL POV

Immediately Phoebe walked out the door, I finally felt at ease, there was something about her that made me jumpy which I don't like.

And after she was gone, the feeling was gone too, and I soon came to the realization of my actions, Vincent and I have come to the agreement of keeping Anna's existence a secret and yet i spilled it all out, due to my anger, I am so dead.

"What was that about?" Vincent asked in a cold voice, sending shivers down my spine, I gulped as I tried to think of excuses to make.

Tears pooled my eyes and I started crying ruining my makeup, in order to make my act real I went over his side and held his hand, "Vincent how do you expect me to stay quiet, the woman was clearly trying to seduce." I tried to vindicate myself making sure to paint Phoebe bad, I don't want her around Vincent, it makes me feel like there is a looming danger ahead.

"I am pretty sure I can take care of myself." Vincent responded coldly, I should have known, Vincent has not bothered about me or cared about me for the past five years, but there was one thing he did care about.

"What about Anna? Will she be fine if she walked into her father with another woman?" I asked like I was concerned about that little wench.

To me, that little girl was nothing but a disposable tool, even if though she was starting to get out of hand these days, she is my only way into Vincent's heart.

"There is nothing to worry about, Phoebe just came in to sign a contract so Anna wouldn't be hurt by anything." I heard Vincent say with his voice softening, I don't know whether it was at the mention of Phoebe or Anna.

Didn't dad want to avenge me? Why was she still standing and looking well and fine, I secretly gritted my teeth with anger then forced out a smile at Vincent, wiping my tears away.

"That's good to know, our little Anna is too delicate to be hurt." Vincent hummed lowly in response, with a slight look of displeasure on his face, but that was none of my business, it was time for me to present what i came for.

"Errm, Vincent, there is an uproar online and in all social media." I started off slowly, in the entertainment industry image in the media is very important, and of course Vincent would give me his attention and listen.

Just as I expected, he turned towards me and raised his brows asking what's wrong, I felt my words hang in my throat at the attractive look, i could feel myself getting wet down there.

Clearing my throat, I handed over my tablet to him to skim through, as he scrolled through the tab his expression grew grim making me smirk.

"They are all saying that Michelle has various sugar daddies and that is what she has been using to gain various projects so far, I am worried that it might ruin Maximum entertainment image." I explained with a worried voice, Michelle is an upcoming model with a dirty past, somehow she was found by Maximum entertainment.

She has been dragging deals with me and have taken some of my jobs, at first i looked at her as a pest but now she's getting hard to deal with.

With that, I paid some people to reveal her dirty past of the time she was struggling in the entertainment world and also hired water armies to make the situation blow up, now it just remained for Vincent to give the order, after all what he hated the most were loose and scheming women with no control.

Scrolling for a while, Vincent handed the tablet back to me, and took the file Phoebe had dropped before looking through it, i looked at him eagerly, expecting him to call Michelle's manager and propose the contract termination.

"Aren't you going to do anything about it?" I asked finally unable to hold back any longer, "There is no need to act, it's just a minor issue." Vincent responded with calculating eyes and I almost lost it, after all the money I spent, he says this?

"This isn't right! It'll ruin the pure image of maximum entertainment, you have to let Michelle go and terminate the contract." I demanded, I definitely did not want to lose.

"So are you teaching me how to run my own company now?" Vincent asked coldly giving me a death stare.

"I... I.... I... I" I started stammering as I was short of words to say, little did i know that the people whom i entrusted with the investigation didn't do their jobs thoroughly and that there Is a way out for Michelle.
