His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 149 - No Dear, It Was Not A Fight!

''Oh my God… '' the two girls shrieked as they watched what just happened; in the next second, they dashed towards her, but Tiana was faster; pushing Larisa aside, she twisted the first girl's hand, which was raised to slap her, and pulled the second by the hair, dragging them to a toilet.

She didn't even exert much strength because they were wearing heels and they weren't even strong;

Pushing them both in, she locked the door, their screams resounding behind her as she walked away.

Larisa was still on the floor, holding her cheeks with both hands, glaring daggers at Tiana.

Tiana ignored her and walked to her clothes and purse and picked them up, then she walked back to her. She smiled amusingly as she stared at the girl who was spewing fire and brimstone some moments earlier. Larisa felt tears brimming in her eyes; she couldn't even say a word, her cheeks burned badly;

Tiana chuckled as she squatted down; opening her purse, she took out candy and tearing the wrap; she pointed it towards Larisa's lips;

''Open your mouth! ''

Larisa felt the first tear, drop from her eyes as she shook, biting her lips together;

Tiana widened her eyes;

''Do you want to join your friends in the toilet? ''

Larisa shook her head immediately;

''Good, now open your mouth!''

Larisa cried as her lips parted slowly, she didn't think that someone who looked so frail could land such heavy slaps; she could swear her gums broke on both sides. Tiana pushed the candy into her mouth and smiled,

''Now, that's better. ''

Standing up, she walked out of the changing room and went to another to get dressed, but by the time she came out, there were a bunch of models standing outside and the three models in the middle, glaring daggers at her. Her eyes shifted from them and they fell on Leo, who was watching her worriedly;

Leo walked towards her, his brows creased but before he could say a word, a sweet voice was heard;

''What is going on here? ''

All eyes turned to the direction of the voice, and there was Claire, walking towards them with a worried look.

Tiana swallowed; was she in trouble?

She didn't know the rank of those models; and knowing how things worked here, she might really get into trouble for beating them up.

''What happened? '' Claire asked again as she approached the crowd, Tiana opened her lips to speak but Larisa beat her to it. 

'' I didn't know a top-list model like you could sign a hooligan, Claire, I thought you had high tastes?''

Larisa asked, glaring intently at Claire.

Okay hold on, one thing Claire hated was someone tainting her reputation, and in front of so many models?

Her eyes held Larisa's gaze for a moment before she turned to Tiana,

''What happened? ''

Claire obviously asked Tiana but Larisa beat her to it again;

''This hooligan you signed slapped me twice on the cheeks because I asked of her name; just take a look at my face! She doesn't even do her manicures, her palms are so rough!''

Tiana glared at her, right, she wasn't born to a rich family, there was no time for palms softening, but she had been taking care of her palms lately and they were really soft now. Larisa obviously wanted to damage her reputation before so many people.

Claire's eyes fell on Larisa's cheeks;

''She did that to you? '' her brows creased;

''Of course, and not only that, she beat up Eva and Elena too, and locked them up in the restroom, can you imagine?! What type of human does that? Didn't know you now sign models from the streets!''

''Wait a minute… you mean, she slapped you to this state and beat up your two friends, after which she locked them up in the restroom? ''

Claire asked with a hint of amusement in her tone, but Larisa was too stupid to catch.

''Do you think I'm lying? ''

Larisa glared, her already red face, turning blue;

Claire watched her for a second then burst out laughing; she laughed so hard that everyone thought something was wrong;

''Oh my god, I can't believe this, so you are telling me, that one girl singlehandedly beat the three of you to a pulp, after which she pulled you all into a restroom and locked you up and you did nothing? ''

That was when Larisa's face paled; did she just shoot herself on the feet? She could hear the muffled laughter of the models from behind her and she felt like sinking into the floor. Her eyes fluttered;

''What … what are you saying Claire? Are you trying to encourage fighting in the industry? ''

She shrieked angrily;

''No, dear, it was not a fight; don't call it that, it was a thorough beating up! She thrashed the three of you and locked you all up, how is that a fight? ''

Larisa's chest rose and fell angrily as the laughter behind her increased; she fisted her hands to her side;

''It was a fight! It was a fight because I slapped her too! ''

Larisa angrily vomited and she regretted the instant the words left her lips;

''Oh! Now I see, you slapped her, and then she beat the hell out of you! Christ! ''

The whole place erupted in laughter; even Tiana couldn't stop herself from laughing this time, Claire was one in a million.

Larisa didn't know what to say anymore, she bit her lower lip in frustration, when she saw that there was nothing she could do, she turned around and stomped out, the two other girls following behind.

Claire shook her head as she watched her walk away; she knew why she went after Tiana,

She was the one to do the commercial before Leo found Tiana to be best suited for the role, so she had been angry since then.

''Alright, everyone back to work! ''

Claire exclaimed clapping her both hands, and the models dispersed; till it was only Tiana and Leo left.

Claire's smile turned into a frown as her eyes fell on Tiana, as though she was angry with her.

Okay, now I'm in trouble.

Tiana put up an apologetic expression, as though pleading with her when suddenly Claire raised her two hands and gave her thumbs up.

The three of them burst into a peal of laughter;

''Claire, you're something else!''

Leo exclaimed as he walked to her and enveloped her into a brief hug.

''What? I couldn't let Larisa talk so brazenly in front of so many people; she needed to be put in her place. ''

Leo laughed as he held her hand and they walked towards Leo's office.
