Chapter 773 - 773 BOUND TO LOSE THE FIGHT

773 BOUND TO LOSE THE FIGHT

Joy was so angry that she tore the letter apart. She could not believe that she was humiliated like that in front of the nation or probably the whole world. She came to ruin Cayenne but the backlash was something she never imagined would come at her.

Many people sarted to scold her in the internet and her show was being boycotted. This wasn’t just a headache that she shall face alone, even the management got affected with what she did.

“She was my brother’s classmate in highschool and he said that she was always envious of Cayenne.”

“Her jealousy has never faded.”

“So, she likes someone and that someone likes Cayenne instead of her. How sad.”

“No wonder those men you like never liked you back. You have a poor character.”

“I heard that Stefan and Cayenne were supposed to show up in her show but she refused.”

“Why do you guys like to keep such a nasty woman? You should let her go before she ruins you?”

“She doesn’t live up to her name.”

.....

“I won’t watch her show again.”

“I’ll never watch anything that has something to do with TV N.”

“Let her leave the industry!”

“Chase her out!”

Joy was reading the comments online and she felt hopeless. She couln’t understand herself why did such a thing and now, she regretted it so much. She was sitting on the floor with all the mess she created around her, including the torn letter from Stefan’s lawyer.

Of course, she didn’t do anything to settle this matter.

Meanwhile, Cayenne got even more subscribers on her vlogging account after the Master Chef show. Many people supported her foundation and her staff has received a lot of donation. She didn’t like receiving money; as much as they could, she ask people to send out some things they no longer use instead.

“Did she say anything?” Cayenne inquired while typing something on her phone.

“She didn’t.”

“What about TV N?”

Stefan told her what happened and the commotion that took place in the meeting room of TV N. The shareholders wanted to kick out the woman as soon as they could but the chairman didn’t like to go down that path. He wanted to give her a chance to redeem herself. Truth be told, he didn’t want his secrets to get exposed. If he chooses to go against her this time, he knew that he would lose his seat the next day. He can’t afford that to happen.

“After three day, if she won’t face us, I will send another letter from the lawyer and let the police officers handle this matter.”

“Why don’t we give her another chance?”

Stefan pulled Cayenne and hugged her tight with his hands caressing her back. “You’ve done enough. You already gave her the chance when you decided not to confront her about Arthur and his mother. If you continue to show mercy, she will only take advantage of you.”

In the end, Cayenne allowed Stefan to handle this matter. She would rather do something productive instead of wasting her time and emotion on that woman.

It’s October already and Stefan’s birthday was just around the corner. She wanted to surprise him with a birthday party but since she was pregnant, she could only rely on the people she considered friends and family.

While Stefan was busy dealing with Joy Jimenez, his wife was busy planning something for him.

“One more thing,” she stated when she remembered something, “Have you found someone to work as my secretary?”

“I did. Tristan was currently training him to make sure he won’t fail you.”

“He? That’s unusual. I didn’t expect you would get a guy for me.”

“I considered his skills more than anything else. I don’t care whether he is a guy or a girl. As long as you won’t have a hard time, that’s what matters the most.”

“When can he start to work for me?”

“Next week, I guess. I have to brief him about so many things since he will be taking care of you when I am not around.”

Cayenne never expected that she would, one day, have her own secretary or assistant. She was really happy and she was looking forward to how things would work with him around.

Another day has passed and Joy was still not saying anything about the issue. Many people started to unfollow her social media accounts but there was still no update from her or from the management of TV N. She didn’t even apologize to Cayenne after all the horrible things she did.

Another letter came to summon her in court but she didn’t respond. She pretended she didn’t hear and see anything about the issue she created, and she even came to work like usual despite the disgusted look on the face of her colleagues. She didn’t care.

“Whoa! The diva is here!” Exclaimed one of the managers who happened to meet her in the hallway on her way to the set of her show. “I didn’t expect you have the guts to do such a thing in front of the whole nation. Why didn’t you say anything after that? Don’t tell me you are scared?”

Joy didn’t say a word and just left after rolling her eyes in annoyance. She thought someone was willing to be on her side but she was actually mocked. [Damn it! I will surely tear that woman’s face.] She thought with pure evil intention. She was not someone who hides her hatred at all. To make things worse, when she arrived at the set, she found out that someone else has taken her place.

Her anger skyrocketted and she burst out in a fit of anger. “What do you think you are doing?! Did the management tell you to do this?! I’m telling you right now, get rid of that woman inside my changing room or I will get rid of you!”

“Excuse me?” The director retorted after the shock she received from her sudden outburst. “I am the director of this show. I was the one who recommended you so, I have the right to remove you if I deem you irresponsible. Oh, yes! The management knows and they agreed. They also helped me to find someone else as your replacement. Don’t think so full of yourself. You are no extraordinary.”

“You’re lying! The chairman would never do that!”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Suit yourself. Ask him about your delusion of being irreplaceable.”

The staff started to gossip around her and she could hear them whispering about her being a mistress or something like climbing the ranks through pillow talks. Why else would she be so confident that the chairman would back her if she wasn’t his woman?

Stomping her feet angrily, Joy left the set in embarrassment and took the elevator all the way up to the chairman’s office. She needed to see him in person or else, she wouldn’t be able to get her show back. She can’t allow this to happen.

The secretary saw her come out of the elevator and she was stunned to see her scowling as she walked to the chairman’s office. “Ms. Jimenez, you can’t come inside. The chairman is having a meeting with someone.”

“I don’t care! Let go of me!”

“But – ”

“I’ll break your hand if you won’t.” She declared through gritted teeth.

Afraid that she would really do what she said, the secretary let her go and took a step back. She watched him pushed the door hastily without bothering to knock first. She was really treating the place like her own bedroom.

“You are finally here.” The person who greeted her wasn’t the chairman but his wife who was the heir to this TV station. “I know about your relationship with my husband and I just turned a blind eye since I am not capable of giving him a child. However, that doesn’t mean I’d allow both of you to tarnish the name of this company which my parents worked so hard for. You should have settled the issue with Mr. and Mrs. Dumrique, perhaps, I would let you go and let you continue your role as his mistress. Sadly, you dragged this matter for so long and the company’s stock price continued to lower. I can’t let it plummet to dust. Sorry, but you are dismissed. You can still keep my husband company if you want. Though, I doubt you’d do that now that he has no money left.”

The way she spoke was slow and taunting, obviously mocking her but Joy couldn’t find a single word to retort. The scandal she wanted to use against the man was useless. His wife was aware of everything she did with that old man from the very start. She never felt so disgusted in her whole life until this very moment. She felt like she was about to throw up.

[Why did I even go against her?! What got into me that I risked losing my career?]

She didn’t know how she was able to leave the company from all the humiliation that she received but when she looked around, she was already sitting on a wooden bench at the park near the TV station.

Realizing all the things that happened, she couldn’t stop crying and blame Cayenne once again. She hated her for being smart, for being pretty and for being so attractive despite being poor. She hated how blessed she was and how she was able to find someone who values her genuinely. She just hated her for being the way she was. Unfortunately, no matter how much she blames her, she wouldn’t win against her – not when Stefan was there to keep her from any harm.
