"Hello, it's nice to see you, Nica. She said, using the Alias Leonica had given her, as soon as she had reached bee, a bright smile on her lips, a smile that looked a bit..too take, Leonica couldn't help but think, but then again, they were practically strangers.. "I can't say the feeling is mutual." Leonica commented before turning towards Kennedy informing him to keep all clients out of her office for the next thirty montes "Let's head up to my office, shall we? Florence nodded and gathered her little filming equipment and voice recorder before diligently following Leonica up the elevator and into her office.
Wow, your office surpassed my expectations." She commented the moment she entered, her gaze darting from one place to another, and admiting the space.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeonica flat out ignored her, not because she was being rude or aloot, but rather, because she knew every word that cout of Florence's mouth was a way to butter up to her. To get her to losen up and spill more beans than she was paying to get. But that was something Leonica wasn't willing to do.
once they had both settled, Leonica, at her desk and Florence on the chair opposite her, she asked the young woman, what is it that you want to know?* "Anything, everything "Florence replied, her pen in hand and her voice recorder already switched on, nearby, her camera was also set up, recording their Interaction. "Start by tellingwhat led you to stepping down as President of Romero Empire then later deciding to buy it?* "It was a little complication within my family. As everyone already knows, my brother Melvin had recently returned, with that development, my father thought it wasbest that I stepped down and focused more on my life." Leonies answered without hesitation.
And did you share the santiment with him? Was that why you bought Romero Empire under your Alias as Tyche Smith?" lon Florence questioned on Less than a minute in and Leanic was already tired of the whole thing, but nonetheless, she made sure he expression remained neutral as she spoke. "Yes, and no. No, in the sense that I did not share his sentiment. I believed and still believe that I can be a good mother and wife while running my company. And Yes, in the sense that, that was why I decided to buy the company, so one would ever hold the power to tellto step away from the work so cherish" "Thur's very ambitious of you."Florence commented, glint shinning in her eye, an indication that there was sland of hidden message behind her words. And yet, I can't help but wonder, do you think your son feels the sway? Perhaps your father understand your son more than you and thus, made that decision." Leonica's eyes namowed, her gaze darkening. "Are you implying that I'm not fit to be the CEO of Romero Empire, or perhaps, you're implying that I can't run my hwhile working? "Not at all," Florence was quick to defend herself, putting a mental reminder to chop this part out as Leonica hadn't quite reacted the way she wanted. Leonica was smart, that much Florence could give to her.
"I apologize if for a moment I made you feel that way." Florence added, and Leonica simply modded, her lips pressed in a thin line.
Let's move on Conto the next question." Florence cleared her throat and briefly glanced down at her notebook before adding a couple more questions. When the clock was tipping close to her assigned time, Leonica took the kind Liberty to remind her. "I'm a busy woman, Ms. Florence and 1 believe that your tis up." "Indeed, but I just have one last question," Florence reached into her bag and pulled out a few pictures. Handing it to Leonica, who was not to pleased to know that atotal strangers had pictures of her and Owen on dates, she asked. "That is you and face of your entertainment industry, Mr. Owen Lee, right?" Leonica fered her jaw, trying to keep herself calm, which she eventually achieve and flashed Florence a sanile. "What of it?" Nodding, Florence continued. "Several rumors, pictures and speeches even, have it that you and Mr. Lee are in an open relationship and throughout the interview T couldn't help but notice the ring on your finger, was that given by him and are the rumors true?" "I'll answer the questions you haven't asked." Leonica said, her voice dinin and her expression serious. "First, yes, it's true. The rumors are true and no, we're not in an open relationship, we are, and have always been in a relationship, and the sing I'm wearing, was indeed given toby him So, believe, all questions have been answered, no?" Florence didn't bother answering Instead, she shut her notebook, picked her equipment up and stood, "I believe that will be all." Leonica rodded, "l'escort you to the lobby" The walk tow is the lobby was silent, but as Leonica waited with Florence for her cab, her receptionist approached her.
"Ms. Winslow, you nearly forgot your ID. The receptionist said, giving back I can she had collected as a means of identification and security measures. Florener smiled and thanked the lady, but just as she was taking it back, Leonica took a peak at it "Florence Winslow," She mused, "As in, the relative of Lana Winslow?" Florence hesitated. She wasn't sure why Leonica was asking, but taking it in good fate, she answered. "Yes. Sister If there was any ounce of a smile left on Leonica's lips, it faded completely as she now realized why or rather, how Florence had gotten those p pictures.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt wasnt the who had taken those pictures, it was Owen's totally sane in the head fen, Lena Winslow, the very sperson who had vandalized her gate! And that was t e reason for Leonica's glare, which sent shivers down the young woman's spine.
-The nerves you have, showing up here after what your sister did." Leonica tutted, chuckling a bit when Florence's entire expression revealed that she indeed knew what her sister had done. The frealong audacity! But she really couldn't blFlorence, after all, she was the one who had contacted her in hopes of using her. But Rodrigo had cracked pretty bad even without the "What an ambitious Journalist you are," she mused at Florence's speechlessness. She had been caught way earlier than she anticipated.
Pounting towards the camera, Leonica demanded. "I want that interview gone."
Florence quickly shook her head "I apologize, but that wouldn't be possible. And. And if you try and m threatenor forcefully have it deleted then I'd fille lawsuit against you for abuse of power." Leonica scoffed, not in the slightest bit fazed by the threat.
"Go ahead and do just that. I'm sure my lawyer would be more than happy to discuss with the count how you' illegally obtained those photos of my lover and I and ch, not to forget the obvious act of alding and abetting your sister's crime."
Florence's eyes widened, not because Leonica was threatening her, but because the way she said the that her actions had consequences and that if she dared to release that video, Leonica was more than willing to take up any court sult she had filed against her ewards sounded more like a warning, as if she was telling her, Leonica smirked. "You better do the right thing, Ms. Florence Else, you'd end up being a bad example for your sister."
