REBORN: Revenge

May promised herself that she would not dare to share her story with other people, but for some reason, she told her story to Anna, who probably did not want to hear such a depressing story. "I wonder why I told her that." May inwardly asked herself.

Anna glances at the person doing her make-up, she knew that this person was listening, and since people nowadays tend to share other people"s private life stories, she said to her, "What you just heard, you keep that mouth of yours shut. If any chance that I hear rumors or see an article of what May just said, I will know that you"re the one responsible." Anna used her threatening tone of voice.

Surprised by Anna"s sudden change of att.i.tude, the make-up artist nodded without any question. 

After an hour later, everything is ready to go, Alfonso has this satisfied smile on his face. "Goodness! You two look so stunning!" He exclaimed when he saw the final look of Anna and Kyle.

"Alfonso, I know your designs are stunning already, but with Kyle and Anna wearing them, it brings out the charm that I have not yet seen before." May complimented. For the years that she has been working alongside Alfonso, this is the first time she has seen his designs utterly stunning.

Kyle and Anna already have their own charms, but when they wear Alfonso"s designs, there is something that she can"t say specifically.

"What can I say, I have good eyes when it comes to the people wearing my designs." For every design that he makes, Alfonso makes sure that the people are wearing it are worthy of it. This side of Alfonso, wanting to make things perfect, made Alexandre"s birth mother go crazy.

She always has a headache whenever Alfonso rejects the models that she finds for him. Because of that side of him, it almost made Pia quit her job. Just remembering those days with Pia makes Alfonso feels so nostalgic.

"Good thing that you"re relieved from that headache, Pia." Alfonso inwardly said, then he glances at his son. His son has had the same clear eyes just like its mother. It"s such a shame the only picture Alexandre has with his mother is the day before she pa.s.sed away.

"Jason," Alfonso called out his a.s.sistant.

"You called, Sir?"

"Who"s the designer before us?" Since Alfonso was so busy making sure that his designs are alright and making sure that all of his models are ready, he forgot to check who is the designer going out first before him.

After checking on the tablet that Jason have on his hands, he replied, "It"s Catherine Rider, and as you ordered for me to do earlier, I found out that she is scheming something." As soon as Jason said that a smirk appeared in Alfonso"s face.

"Oh? Is she really that desperate to win? How pathetic." Alfonso almost feels sorry for the woman. Every year in every event that they go to, Catherine always makes trouble for Alfonso.

Thankfully, Alfonso is smart enough to evade the troubles she is making for him. But now, it seems like she leveled up her schemes.

"Wait? What?" May heard what Jason just said and is confused about why Alfonso looked like he is having fun knowing that Catherine is scheming against him. "Shouldn"t you be reporting her or something? Why are you not doing anything?"

If May thinks that she knew all about Alfonso, then she is wrong. She has no idea what kind of dark background Alfonso has. Between her and her sister, her sister is the one who knows about that dark background of Alfonso.

"Report her? That is not how my uncle works. He likes to make it look like he is in a bad position, then makes his move to victory." What Kyle is trying to say is that his uncle Alfonso likes to make his enemies think that they are winning when in fact, they are losing.

"That is true. Oh well, I feel bad for her now." Yesterday, the woman named Catherine really upsets Anna, but now she feels sorry because Catherine picked the wrong person to mess with.

Looking at how calm and compose Anna and Kyle are, May is stunned. It seems to her that Anna and Kyle are used to these kinds of situations. Starting right now, she is starting to doubt Anna and Kyle"s true personalities.

"Anna, don"t feel bad for her. She doesn"t deserve it." Alfonso said. Knowing Catherine, Alfonso is sure that Catherine is going to involve his son. The reason for him carrying his son all day is because of that. He is making sure that Alexandre won"t leave his sight even for a moment. "So tell me, Jason, what is she planning this time?" Alfonso asked.

"Well, she is going to reveal a photo of Alexandre"s mother and what happened between you and her." As Jason was saying this, he was actually nervous because he knows that his boss doesn"t like talking about Alexandre"s mother.

When he found out how things happened between his boss and Alexandre"s mother, he was shocked that it happened because of alcohol. If this kind of private past were to reveal today, it might affect his boss"s career.

People will accuse his boss of taking advantage of Alexandre"s mother.

Hearing that, May"s heart pounded. Catherine"s scheme is to reveal Alexandre"s mother, and somehow there is a part of her that wants Catherine to succeed in this scheme. And when she realized what she was thinking, she almost slaps herself for being selfish.

"How could I think of that?! I"m so despicable!" She inwardly scolded herself.

"Is that so? Then let her be." Alfonso"s reply shocked May and Jason. They did not expect him to give an answer like that. They thought that Alfonso will do anything to keep that as a secret. For what reason is he letting Catherine go with this scheme?

"I"m sorry for asking this, but why? I-if we let her be, then it could affect your career, Sir." He has not yet been working under Alfonso for a long time, but he knew that Alfonso is a good boss and he could a lot of things from him. He is not about to let anyone ruin his boss"s life just like that.

"Alfonso, what are you thinking?" May strongly agree with Jason, if Alfonso lets Catherine do whatever she wants, Alfonso has a lot of people poking their noses into his business. And with those kinds of people it could affect Alexandre"s life.

"You two don"t need to worry about anything at all. Just focus on what you two are supposed to be doing now. I"ve got it handled." Alfonso ordered them that they should do what they are told to do, but they were hesitant to follow his orders, but in the end, Alfonso managed to shoo them off. 

After they left his sight, he took out his phone and called his dearest sister"s phone. "What do you want?" Said the person on the other end.

"Dear sister..." Kyle heard that and his interest suddenly turned towards the conversation between his uncle and mother. "You"re not yet rusty in your skill in hacking, right?" Alfonso asked.

Back on their younger days, Layla got interested in hacking, and because of that she managed to force Leonardo to teach her about hacking. At first, Alfonso thought that it was useless for his sister to learn that skill, but now, it seems like he a different opinion about it.

"Of course not! From time to time, my dear husbands ask me to do some things to keep my skill refresh." Although she is not getting missions like she used to, she is glad that she is still able to use one of her skills because of her husband. "Why are you asking me that anyway? Is there someone you want to bring down to the mud?" Layla asked in a mischievous tone.

"Oh, my dear sister. I"m not gonna bring her there. I"m going to bring her lower than that. To h.e.l.l. She messed with the wrong person." Listening to every word that Alfonso just said, it sends s.h.i.+vers down to Layla"s spine.

It has been so long since she heard that menacing tone from her brother. She really has to thank that person who made her brother be like this.

With a laugh, Layla replied, "What did this person do to you, my dearest brother?" 

Although Kyle and Anna can"t hear the other person on the phone, they can tell that the conversation they are having is up to no good. "I never thought that your mother and uncle Alfonso can act like this together, they sound so... evil," Anna commented.

"I think so too." Kyle could not help but agree to what Anna just said.
