Chapter 17
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.
The company higher-ups called Jennie for a meeting the next morning. She had a lot of explaining to do. Seated in her office, she was deep in thought, who did she offend to slap her so tightly like this?".
The news was also being broadcasted live and there was nowhere to hide her face, how did the person find out something she had hidden so well all these years?. Only a few people knew about what happened to those models and now her dirty linen has been washed in public, how would she take the blame of herself this time.
"It's time for meeting ma❞ her assistant spoke up, retrieving her from her train of thoughts.
"Okay" she answered and got up to go," ask Jason to prepare a PR immediately, we will clear the misunderstanding up and he should also hold a press meeting, I will be attending".
"Okay ma❞ Dolly replied and hastily went out to do her work.
She entered the room and twelve pairs of eyes stared at her, for the first time in four years she felt a little scared.
"Miss Wilson, care to explain what has happened?" One of the higher ups asked in an angry tone, he was directly involved in the scandal that caused the death of those two models so he was naturally scared.
"I think we have a loophole in this agency but be rest assured, you all will not be thrown into the mix, I will handle it all" she replied in a defeated tone. "You better do that Miss Wilson or get ready to face the consequences of your actions. We can't be taken down like this and make sure to catch the pipsqueak who has revealed this" another added.
"I will hold a press conference later and clear up the misunderstanding," Jennie said,
"Better do a good job". After some more talks, she bowed and left, she had a lot of sorting out to do.
By now, the old news about those models surfaced online again and their fans began to bombard the GoodLife agency for an explanation on what happened to their idols. Reporters too were flooding the agency in and out, finally after a while, they released a statement asking the public to wait for the press conference.
As all this was happening, a certain somebody was seated in her office, she had a mischievous smile on her face. She was loving what was happening but was that enough to make up for her life which was almost taken years back?. "Are the reporters ready, Jemima?" She asked, not removing her face from the news she was reading "Yes ma," Jemima replied.
"Good, let's wait for a good show then" she answered as a smile played across her lips.
"Ma'am, will you be attending the meeting this afternoon?".
"Of course, my employees need to see my face else they conspire against me". Jemima smiled at her, everyday she is learning new things about this woman.
The room was packed full with reporters from various media houses and some fans of the said models. Jason had arranged everything and now they were waiting for Jennie to make an appearance.
3pm, dressed in a pair of white suit and her short hair styled beautifully, she entered the room, she had the domineering aura of a CEO and if not for this conference, most people wouldn't have had the opportunity to see her. She mounted the podium and bowed respectfully. "Good day everyone, thank you for making out time to attend this impromptu meeting, we may now officially begin"
A reporter immediately stood up and asked his question.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Ma'am, can you tell us what actually happened to those two international models?.
Jennie cleared her throat and spoke into the microphone," like it was revealed two years ago, they were both involved in an accident when going for a shoot in France and I believe we provided the public with enough evidence that time" she replied confidently.
"How is the company going to respond to the piece of news released online?" Another reporter asked.
"Once we find out who has done this, we will sue them for defamation". She answered again.
Another reporter stood up to ask his own question," but Miss, the information you are giving us now is different from what we have, are you trying to deceive us?.
Jennie was taken aback for a moment but she quickly regained her composure. "And what is the information you have?" She asked with confidence.

"Those two models found out something evil was going on in the agency,they asked to terminate their contract which the company refused and a few days later, they were both found dead. Does this ring a bell?".
Everyone began to murmur, they were surprised at this information. "May I ask where you got this information?" She asked again, who the hell were these reporters trying to cause more trouble for her. "Just answer us ma'am, what did they find out and why were they killed?" Another asked. "That is false information and I will advise you to verify the authenticity of your claims before you stake them".
"We got information that the international model, Vivi, found out that some of the higher ups are involved in the underworld and some of them were always taking advantage of their female models and whoever refused will have her jobs freezed. Not only that, she also found out that every other scandal caused to your competitors, the GoodLife agency was responsible for it and has used its connection to the underworld to intimidate its models and make them do what they want. She told another model friend of hers and you people had them killed and faked the accident, what do you have to say about this malam?.
For several minutes, she didn't say anything, how come this reporter has such details of the incident she and her minions have hidden for two years. Looking in front of her, lots of eyes were watching her and thousands were watching the press conference live. How would she lie her way out of this?".
"We are waiting for your answer ma'am" someone reminded her, she quickly composed herself." That information is false".
"How could it be false when it actually came from your agency?".
Her eyes flew open, so someone from her agency was behind this. At this moment, she was lost for words, there was nothing she could think of to get herself out of this mess.
Jason quickly came to the podium and spoke into the microphone," there must be a mix-up somewhere, I assure you that we will clear the misunderstanding up soon" saying that he led her out of the press conference.
The public and the internet went into a frenzy, a lot of people had things to say about GoodLife agency.
"Is this how they have been operating for years?".
"I hope the CEO and its higher-ups die the same way they killed Vivi and Lisa"

"GoodLife agency,come out and clear this mess".
"This agency is filled with so much darkness".
"Is Mr Wilson also aware of what his daughter has done?".
These were but a few of the discussions online, the public and netizens all wanted to know what the truth was and the GoodLife agency had to speak the truth. Among these set of people, Vivi and Lisa's fans were the angriest and immediately formed an anti GoodLife group and uploaded all sorts of bad news on the agency, the public was made, their fans were mad, her father was mad, the higher-ups involved were mad, everyone was mad and GoodLife agency was on the brink of collapsing, what would she do?, The public waited for it.
Damian was already on his flight back home and watching the uproar from the public and netizens, his lips curved up in a smile, he was proud of his wife.
"The madam sure is ruthless" Rubby spoke as a small smile played across his lips too.
"Rubby, this is just the tip of the iceberg for them, I will completely destroy them. By even doing this, your lady boss is showing them Mercy". Rubby looked at the big boss in awe, these two couple were really out to take revenge on their enemies, well, he will wait and See how they do it.
As much as Teresa enjoyed what was happening, she still had a meeting to attend. Her
employees hadn't had the chance to see her yet and today, she is making the big reveal. She would celebrate with her husband later, with the thought of him coming back today, her face lit up as she made her way to the conference room. Immediately she entered, everyone stood
up to greet her, some were surprised to see such a young lady, they thought she was an old woman but they felt their faces swollen from her tight face slap, she is young and very beautiful.
"Hello everyone, my pleasure to finally meet all of you" she said smiling and they all nodded. The aura emanating from her was too strong to ignore. "I am Teresa Martins and I hope we can work together" that was the only thing she said and some of them were already intimidated just by her name. The name that has caused quite an uproar in the business world and is still on the lips of everyone. The business woman who has achieved what most of them have not and sadly, there was no information about her online, they all wondered what Teresa Martins was all about.
"If you have any questions for me, you can directly contact my assistant. I am a very busy woman so I won't be available all the time. I hope no problem arises. "She stood up and walked out of the conference room with her head held high, she was proud. "Did the big boss call?" She asked Jamima as they made their way to her waiting car, the latest version of the Audi.
"Not yet ma," Jemima replied.
"I guess he is still on his flight" she muttered and boarded the car. While she was going home to meet her husband, a certain someone was locked in her office crying her eyes out. How will she rectify the situation? Everyone wanted to know.
