"What do you mean?" Angela asked surprised, not having much recollection of what happened during the interview which took place the previous night.
"Well, I will tell you because the news was trending up to midnight and it is all gone now. No trace of it anywhere again," Zora informed her and gave her details of everything she saw on TV.
"Oh my God!" Angela exclaimed as her hands flew to her mouth.
Zora was still on the call filling her in on all the things that had transpired the previous night.
"Girl, it was a disaster," Zora ended her statement but Angela heard an incoming call while still on the call with Zora.
"Zora I will call you back. My parents are calling," Angela said knowing they were calling because they also saw what she did.
She answered the call from her parents putting Zora on hold automatically.
"Angela, what happened yesterday?" came Mrs Anderson's voice.
"I don't know," Angela confessed feeling all regretful.
She wanted to finish what she started and gain her glory. She never expected things would go that way, to the extent that the advertised movie was not shown.
"Are you married?" came Mr Anderson's voice and Angela didn't know how to answer that.
Back in Bryce's room, he had just woken up from his sleep after staying up late to clear the mess Angela had created. He was very angry with her but yet he could not bring himself to terminate her appointment with the company like her father had instructed and also banned her from getting a job anywhere. He also struggled to sleep after moving into the guest room and sleeping alone without Angela wrapped in his arms even though he was tired and it was late.
He dragged himself out of bed and into the bathroom. He freshened up and returned to the bedroom to dress up. Just then his phone rang. He walked towards the bed and picked his phone up from the bedside table.
"Mr President, there is another news released this morning. It is bad," Britney reported.
"What is the news about?" Bryce asked his voice shimmering with anger.
"It's about Angela. The man from the inappropriate images of Angela posted yesterday, had taken to social media saying he had a deal with Angela and she didn't fulfil her side of the deal," Britney said.
"Britney, go straight to the point," Bryce said impatiently.
"Angela promised him a role in the movie and they ended up sleeping together but Angela never gave him the role but also turned down his application for a position in the Don Entertainment Industry," Britney reported and Bryce squeezed the phone in his hands.
"It would be taken care of. Get the team ready for the press conference," Bryce said and ended the call.
He dressed up and headed for his bedroom, which he had given to Angela. Without knocking he just entered the room.
"What was the meaning of what you did yesterday?" Bryce asked through gritted teeth as he strode into the room.
Angela was still in her sleepwear standing next to the king-size bed. She had just gotten off the phone with her parents. She stared at Bryce not sure what to say after hearing from Mr and Mrs Anderson and Zora what happened the previous night.
"I asked you a question. Don't just stand staring at me like you don't know how to talk," Bryce yelled at her and she jolted backwards out of fright.
Bryce was so angry, he looked like a beast ready to tear Angela apart. Angela took a couple of steps back terrified by Bryce. From what she had heard and what she remembered, she knew she had done everything wrong.
"Who was that man?" Bryce questioned angrily. "And are you now taking advantage of people? How can you sleep with someone and promise him a role?" he questioned angrily but it didn't sound right in his ears and he couldn't bring himself to believe Angela did that but Susan was not in the company and he had not seen or heard from her so who could have done this to Angela if it is another frame up?
"I swear to you. I didn't sleep with anyone," Angela spoke, her voice filled with regret.
"I told you to stay home following the episode from two days ago and you deliberately disobeyed me," Bryce spat. "And all for what, to create the mess you created yesterday," he added. "Are you aware you brought my father into the company last night? He wants you out of the company and banned from getting employment anywhere," he added and Angela's face changed.
"Please, I can understand if you want to terminate my appointment with Diamond Corporation but please, don't ban me from getting employment," Angela pleaded going down on her knees and Bryce frowned staring at her on her knees.
"So you want to leave Diamond Corporation?" Bryce said but in his heart, he was asking if she did all this to get away from him. "Why?" he quickly added a follow-up question wondering why she wanted to leave him when he had not done anything to make her uncomfortable.
He could not understand why his heart was in pain when thoughts of him not seeing her again because he terminated her appointment and she decided to leave filled his mind.
