Chapter 22-Lunch

“What’s on my schedule today?” Serena Winston asked her manager while sitting in the back seat of her car.

“Um. y-you have a shoot for the moonlight body wash in ten minutes and another shoot for the new emerald jewellery in the afternoon,” Jane Colton responded cautiously.

She had received the order that Serena was banned from being the Wentworth group’s ambassador but she hadn’t told Serena because she thought there was an error.

Serena was the CEO’s fiancee. Why would she be fired and banned from the Company she would soon own through marriage?

This was the reason she kept quiet about the order and Serena was none the wiser.

“Hurry up, will you? Do you want me to run around when we reach the shooting scene?” Serena snapped

She had gone on a vacation the past week and just returned the previous night. Since Aaron was still ignoring her, she had come up with another plan to make him marry her. After the shoot, she would pay Edmund Wentworth a visit to complain about him.

It didn’t take long for them to reach the shooting scene. The moonlight body wash was a product made by Wentworth’s cosmetics and Serena had been endorsing it for five years.

The shoot was being done at the beach. When she arrived, Serena haughtily walked towards the crew but her eyebrows furrowed when she saw another model shooting the scene.

Her face contorted viciously and she glared at the program’s manager.

“What is happening here? Why is this bitch taking my place?!” She yelled, trying to sound. intimidating

However, the crew just glanced at her and continued with their work. In the past, they used to be afraid of her because of her ties to the boss. But now that the order came from him, they knew that Serena was not in Aaron’s good graces anymore.

Anger washed over Serena when she was ignored. ‘How dare these good-for-nothings treat me like

this? I am the lady boss!’

“What do you think you’re doing? Do you want to be fired? I asked why there’s another bitch. shooting my scenes!”

The project manager was annoyed with her ranting so he stood up and faced her. He crossed his arms across his chest and responded, “Miss Serena, we are working here and you’re disturbing the process. We don’t know anything. All we know is that the higher-ups gave the order to change the brand ambassador for the Company. I suggest you take it up with the boss.”

“What? Are you saying Aaron gave the order to cut me off?” Serena asked incredulously.

“I’m afraid so,” the project manager responded. He then turned his attention to Jane and asked, Didn’t you inform her of the new development? I had communicated.”

Jane fidgeted in her stance and shrank when Serena glared at her.

“I-I thought there was an error-”

“Let’s go to the Company headquarters, I need to see Aaron and tell him what’s happening,” Serena

uttered

She then glanced at the project manager and warned him, “You better start packing your bags because this will be your last day on the job”

She didn’t believe that Aaron would ban her from being the Company’s brand ambassador. Even if he was avoiding talks of their marriage now, Serena knew he had a soft spot for her.

Back at the Wentworth group, Aaron was smiling to himself as he recalled how Tessa had been calling him by his name the past few days.

It had been four days since the club incident. Every day, he would take some time off and pick up the children from school and then he would buy his daughters and Tessa flowers. Reagan would get a gift of his preference too.

Aaron was happy that Tessa was no longer hostile towards him but there was only one problem. She still didn’t want to talk about them. Aaron tried to have some time alone with her but she
