REBORN: Revenge

Ignoring the model who just called him out, Alfonso"s whole attention is on Anna. "So, tell me, Anna, what happened while I was away?" Usually, Alfonso would not even let himself be bothered what other people say behind his back as long as they do their work, but seeing the angry expressions on Anna and Kyle, he could not help but want to know the whole story.

Anna knew that her uncle won"t care if someone badmouths him, but if it is about Alexandre, she is sure that Alfonso will become enraged. "From all the things that these people said about you, Uncle, there is one thing that I"m sure will anger you." 

While saying that, Anna stared at everyone who badmouthed her uncle one by one. Every time her eyes landed on each of them, they were shaken and is afraid of what will happen to them. They don"t want to lose the job that they have now.

"Hmm... what is it?" Alfonso spoke, then his eyes landed on the model in front of Anna.

Instead of Anna answering Alfonso"s question, Kyle took the liberty to say it. "Well, they said that your son, Alexandre, will have a hard time growing up. And from what I"m understanding, it"s like they are planning on bullying your child just because you are its father."

Though Kyle added some words that these people did not say, it is what they had in mind. Most of them have worked alongside Alfonso for quite some time now, and they hate it whenever Alfonso scolds them for their mistake. And their only way to get back at Alfonso is to make things harder for his son.

"N-Nonsense! We did not say that!" One of the staff members said defensively. It is true that they have thought of it that way, however, they never verbally said it out loud. As long as that fact stands, they will defend themselves.

They stared at Kyle. Despite his handsome face, Kyle is a cunning type of man. A type of man that they don"t want to stick around with. If they had known that they will be in this kind of situation, they would have not said anything that could go against them.

"T-That"s r-right! Besides, you don"t have proof that we said those words. Don"t just accuse us like that! We can sue you for framing us." The one who just said that spoke in a haughty tone of voice and Kyle can only stare at her as if she"s the stupidest woman he has ever met.

"Even if he does not have proof that all of you said that, do you really think that you have the power to sue him? I already know that all of you mongrels are stupid, but to think that all of you are capable of being this stupid, is utterly unbelievable." Whenever Alfonso said that they are stupid, he did not actually mean it. But now, he thinks that it is true that they are stupid.

They know that they don"t want to mess with him if they want to keep their job or reputation intact, and yet they kept of badmouthing him behind his back. They should have known that sooner or later, he will have enough of their drama and he will make a move against them, and yet they ignore such facts.

"As far as I can tell..." Alfonso turned his whole attention towards the model in front of Anna, "...you are the one who approached these two young teenagers and my son. And with the CCTV all around the place, I"m sure that in the eyes of the other adults, you will be the one who will look like a bad guy."

Alfonso is not actually of what really happen, but he just said those words just to taunt the model. However, after the model heard his words, she turned pale. It looks like he hit the spot.

Before anyone could even say a word, the staff manager came to arrive at the scene with a worried look on his face. "S-Sir Dreyar, is there any problem going on here?" He nervously asked, but Alfonso only looks at him as if he"s an idiot.

"Are you blind or what?" Alfonso sarcastically said, "It"s quite obvious that there is a problem going on here, and yet you still asked that dumb question? I can"t believe this." 

Every once a year, during this current season, every top designer that comes to her shows off their work, and so far, during the years he has been coming at this place, Alfonso has been patient with the staff who are working hard to make this event happen. But now, it seems like it"s time for him to voice his opinion out.

The staff manager is unable to talk back to Alfonso. It is true that it"s obvious that there is a problem going on, and yet he still asked. He should have just asked if there is something he can do to fix the problem, but it is now too late to ask that since he can sense that Alfonso is already on the verge of exploding his anger.

"Since tomorrow is the D-day and there is a lot of things that are needed to be finished, and I will extend my patience on seeing these people, but next year, if I see any of them working here, I will never accept an invitation to come to this event," Alfonso spoke coldly, then he signaled Anna and Kyle to come and follow him.

Although Alfonso likes to show off his designs in any runway shows that he is invited to partic.i.p.ate in, he will never work in an environment that will cause damage to any of this work and models. And this place has the kind of environment that he doesn"t like.

The staff manager doesn"t like the idea of firing any of his subordinates, but he has to do it. With Alfonso showing off his designs, there is a lot of people who would want to see it. It will be such a loss of this project event if Alfonso were to refuse to partic.i.p.ate next year.

With an angry look in his face, he turned around and faces his subordinates who crossed their lines, "You people will receive your last salary after this event." He said and left the spot. As for the models, the manager will have to talk to the designers they are working with. He will tell those designers that their model is not allowed to partic.i.p.ate in this event next year.

Knowing what is going to happen next, the model who looked down on Anna suddenly runs towards Alfonso and the others.

"Sir Dreyar, please wait!" She shouted with a desperate look on her face.

Alfonso stopped his movements, then he turned around to face her. He looks at her from top to bottom. She has average looks and the only things that are good about her are the curves of her body. Even if she didn"t say anything that made Anna and Kyle angry, he would not dare allow her to be one of his models.

People who do not have the charisma that he likes, have no place right to wear his magnificent designs.

"What do you want? And speak quickly, I don"t want my time to be wasted on you." Alfonso spoke in a cold tone.

"I am terribly sorry, and I"m really, really hoping that you would exempt me from what you just said earlier." The designer who wanted her to wear its designs only approached her because she has a great body, and with that, the model thinks that other brands will approach her because of her body.

If the word got out that she is banned from partic.i.p.ate in this event next year, no one would approach her. They will think lowly of her, and she doesn"t want that to happen.

"You have no right to ask me that. And my decision is already final." Alfonso doesn"t really care about the influence that he has, but sometimes, his influence can really come in handy whenever he doesn"t want to see one person ever again. "This may seem bad, but I don"t really give a c.r.a.p."

The moment that she heard that, she is devastated. Her modeling career has only started and this is the only path that she can take to succeed because her family is not gonna lend her any hand since she is an illegitimate child. If she falls down now, no one can help her.

The model wanted to say her plea, but before she could even do it, the designer who approached her came to her side. "Alfonso, what are you doing? Are you bullying my model?"

Hearing that voice, the aura around Alfonso turned dark. He is not liking the person that is standing right before him.
