Kathy noticed Bruno still sitting at that table; it was an opportunity for her to show off.
She stood up with her usual air of confidence.
“Are you going back for the photoshoot session, Kathy?”
asked one of the models, fangirling over Kathy.
“Not after I get the CEO’s attention. Watch and learn, girls… no man can resist me, not even our cold-blooded young boss, Bruno.”
She smirked and started walking towards Bruno.
The other models watched her with keen interest, anticipating being amazed by Kathy’s impressive seductress skills.
They quietly debated among themselves whether Kathy could actually get Bruno to ask her out or not.
Kathy was dressed to kill, as always.
Today she wore a sleek, form-fitting red dress that accentuated every curve of her hourglass figure, hugged her hips perfectly, and highlighted her small waistline.
The neckline of the red dress was very low, just enough to reveal a massive pair of attractive cleavage that bounced with each step she took.
The dress had a long slit that went all the way to her thighs, showcasing the glassy pale skin beneath the dress and a red lap band made of red lace that drew attention to her thighs.
Her long, straight legs were accentuated by a pair of designer heels, which clicked confidently against the floor with each step she took.
Kathy was a perfect image of what a model should look like.
According to the company’s standards, in fact, the company was lucky to have her.
Some would say.
The men around couldn’t help but notice her hips swaying. Their gazes lingered on her shapely hips and the bounce of her chest.
Many of them felt a stir of lust and desire to have her as they admired her beauty from afar.
Unfortunately for the admirers, Kathy would never give any of them a chance anyway; they could only dream about having her in their arms but would never dare to approach her.
The women, on the other hand, watched her with a mix of envy and grudging jealousy at how easily she seemed to attract all male interest to herself.
Kathy was well aware of the effect she had on people, and she knew how to use it to her advantage. Having pretty privilege is everything you need in this world.
She got to the table where Bruno was seated and gave him a sultry smile.
Without asking, she reached for the chocolate bar he was holding.
“Is that for me?” she teased and winked at him with a fake high-pitched giggle.
Before Bruno could respond, she took the chocolate from his hand and unwrapped it, biting into it slowly and seductively.
“Yummy.”
She licked her lips and watched him closely, expecting to see him react, but Bruno’s expression remained neutral. His attention went back to his food.
“Well, since you didn’t say anything, I guess I will have to sit…”
She paused and stared down, disgusted at the seat, knowing who was there before her.
She quickly motioned for her assistant, who hurried over with a small bottle of sanitizer. Kathy gave a pointed glance at the chair she was about to sit in, and the assistant dutifully sanitized it.
Bruno raised his eyes to the chair and then back to his plate with arched brows.
With the seat now to her standards, Kathy sat down, crossing her legs and leaning slightly forward to capture Bruno’s attention.
“So what are you…”
Bruno stood up and walked away without uttering a single word to her.
Kathy was frozen on the spot. It wasn’t the first time she had been ignored by him, but the fact that she had the models watching made her feel worse.
For the first time in a long time, Kathy found herself unsure of what to do next, as her usual tactics seemed to have no effect on him.
She expected at least eye contact and a reply, as he used to do many times when they talked about modeling.
“That brat must be feeling like some god to ignore me… he knew I have been trying to get his attention since… forever, yet he treats me like a regular worker.”
Her fingers tightened around the half-eaten chocolate bar in anger.
The other workers and models in the cafeteria, who had been watching the interaction with interest, now exchanged curious glances, some even smirking at Kathy’s uncharacteristic defeat.
While others debated Bruno’s sexuality. Kathy had everything it took to make a man who is attracted to women at least look at her chest.
Kathy could feel their curious eyes on her and their little murmurs after the scene, but she refused to show any sign of weakness.
With a deep breath, she quickly composed herself and finished the chocolate bar elegantly.
After cleaning her mouth, she stood up and straightened her posture, keeping her shoulders squared like she was on the runway.
She flipped her hair elegantly, immediately putting on her most dazzling smile.
She was determined not to let her emotions show. She couldn’t let them see her weak and hurt.
So she walked out of the cafeteria with her head held high, without saying anything to her fan club of models.
“What’s there to say? They all saw how Bruno ignored me like I was invisible!”
Kathy said to herself with her teeth clenched in annoyance.
“He can sit with that fat pig for almost an hour and not 30 seconds with me? Was he annoyed about something?”
She paused abruptly and thought about it.
Beauty returned to her desk from the restroom, trying to compose herself after the emotional turmoil she had just experienced.
Thanks to herself for bringing those snacks to work—it just saved her life.
She approached her desk, determined to focus on her work, hoping to push aside the uncomfortable encounter with Bruno and the possible gossip from her co-workers.
As she settled down at her desk, she spotted Kathy heading straight toward her with a tight frown, and immediately she felt her stomach twist in knots.
Not another mockery!
Beauty’s mind immediately went into overdrive, and panic set in.
The last thing she needed was another dramatic scene, especially with someone as intimidating as Kathy, who loved to mock her at the slightest chance.
She wondered what Kathy was going to mock her with this time.
Did she find out about the chocolate bar?
Even if that is the issue, why would Kathy be concerned about what I eat?
It was time for her to face Kathy and stop her from bullying her like they were in some high school drama.
