The Devil's Sweetheart

Chapter 9 - Punctuality

Clad in a modest navy blue dress, a tall stunning woman stepped out of a sleek white Aston Martin, her dewy skin glistened with the bright sun rays falling on her, her enticing eyes gazed over the crowd watching with their mouths wide agape. She very well knew of the stares and strode into Bliss with confidence and elegance.

Leena swiped her card and walked into the office. All the employees greeted her passionately. She warmly smiled and addressed everyone fervently. Her footsteps suddenly halted at a certain desk and glanced over the person sitting at the table who is not bothered to address her.

"Morning Mandy. You are not helloing me?" Leena pouted.

"G_ood Morn_ing Leena mad_am." Mandy stuttered with her words. She was not prepared to be welcomed by this witch.

"tch! tch! Why are you stuttering early in the morning!" Leena exclaimed. "Are you sick? But you should be happy right? After all your minion would have given a priceless possession of my video?" Leena batted her eyes asking innocently.

"How did you know?" Mandy swiftly got up plunging over her chair.

"I have eyes everywhere my dear Mandy. Now be a good girl and play the video. I am eager to see myself." Leena demanded flashing a sinful smile. With a shaky hand, Mandy opened the content and she knew her mouth is shut in front of this witch.

"Wow! Nice videography! I never knew I look cool in this angle. Too bad, I don't want this to be recorded in the first place. What should I do?" Leena leaned over her desk crossing her arms. Mandy gulped at the near sight of Leena and she unconsciously backed off.

"f I knew you pass it to the media__"

"I will delete it." Mandy shuddered at the thought of her future.

"That's my girl. By the way, chubby cheeks." Leena pinched them before walking away.

" "

....

Leena went into Carrot's playroom to let her in. Once she is settled, she walked into her office. She was checking the file of a new model she has to train when Reese walked into her office with an Ipad.

"She literally peed in her pants." Reese was internally laughing at Mandy's state.

"At least she will keep her mouth shut for a while. Her loud voices are piercing my ears every day." Leena lazily retorted.

"Well, there is an appointment with a client at 8.30 morning, you can have a client screening with her. She is not a celebrity, but adamant to be trained by you". Reese notified and hesitated to tell news she was notified before she arrived in the room.

"I guess that's not an issue Reese. I can manage." Both Leena and Reese always worked as professionals in the office.

"L_eena t_hat, actually that__"

"Don't stutter idiot. Just tell me what is it?" Leena asked running out of her patience.

"Emily Harper was supposed to be here today, but she has canceled her appointment. She has an early shoot and may not turn up." Reese was looking at Leena's facial expressions from a frown to anger and she knew Leena is in angry mode.

"Early shoot? More like warming his lovers bed. Cancel her contract with Bliss and settle her account today. I am not going to train her."

"Leena, think about it. She is a famous actress, model and the mistress of powerful___"

"Reese, you have been working for 3 years here and you very well knew about me. I can tolerate anything but punctuality and this is the 4 th time she has canceled her appointment. Bliss is not a charity to walk whenever she wants. I have notified every minute details in the clause and you know that I abide by the rules. She might be a famous star in the country, but you do know my fame. The mere threats don't work on Leena Hayes."

"I will inform and settle her account today." Reese sighed. She knew once her best friend has made a decision, there is no turning back. The meek little cat she had seen in the past turned into a tigress. Besides, even if Emily is the mistress of a powerful businessman, can she withstand Francis Hayes? If anything happens to his apple of the eye, he will turn the world upside down.

"By the way, here is your schedule." Reese opened her Ipad and started explaining. "Miah Herbert will have a training today and you have a group work out session at 3, thereafter, you will be recording an episode for the 60-day challenge you started." Leena has launched her own channel mainly to reach people who cannot afford to train with her.

"Ask Naomi to take up the group workout session. That girl is doing well and she needs a little bit of push. She will shine in the industry." Leena notified.

"All right. it's time. Now if you excuse me, I have to go, escort the new girl." Reese looked at her watch and it was already time. The girl probably has arrived.

"Sure darling, you are excused" Leena flashed a wink at her.

"Shameless idiot." Reese smiled and walked out.

Leena was examining Mia Herbert's progress over the last 2 months she was trained in Bliss. She has signed a contract for an action movie and for her badass character, she has to build her muscles.. Leena was very satisfied with the progress and looked at the door when it was suddenly knocked.
