Mila’s resignation process from the company was still a few days from completion, but she dutifully went in the next day to fulfill her final responsibilities.
Right after the morning meeting, her phone buzzed with a call from Miranda.
Mila, you really gave Giselle a run for her money this time! She’s really outdone herself in the worst way possible!
Mila was puzzled but listened as Miranda urged her to check out the message she had just sent.
Keeping the call connected, Mila opened the message.
Miranda had sent a link to a trending topic. Clicking on it, Mila saw a headline from the official account of Splendid.
Miss Giselle has no partnership or commercial disputes with Splendid; due to unforeseen circumstances, the Moonblush Roses gown remains unfinished and has been recalled for adjustments.
The announcement from Splendid was undoubtedly linked to Jade.
Why would Jade release this statement?
Mila scrolled through the comments and began to piece it together.
…
Giselle, though not a household name, had some recognition in the international music scene. She had made a splash at a gala the previous night, wearing a stunning Splendid gown, rumored to have been crafted by Splendid’s founder. Clips from the event went viral, stirring up quite the sensation.
Curious netizens, digging deeper into Giselle’s background, discovered quite the biography: not only was she a celebrated musician abroad, but also a PhD in business from Pennsylvania, freshly appointed as CEO of Falcon Technologies, a subsidiary of Montgomery Holdings, and the only daughter of the prestigious Harvey family. She was also strikingly beautiful.
Her multiple identities and achievements earned her widespread admiration.
Miranda hadn’t attended the gala but was furious upon hearing about the gown incident.
Our dear Jade is a force to be reckoned with!
Miranda, aware of Jade’s return from Mila, understood the close bond between the two and guessed Jade’s hand in steering the online narrative.
Mila, however, remained composed.
Just as she was about to exit the trending topic, a new headline flashed across her screen: an official statement from Montgomery Holdings.
Recent defamatory statements targeting Falcon Technologies’ CEO Giselle are intended to tarnish reputations… all evidence has been preserved, and legal actions will be pursued.
Furthermore, Lysander, a director at Montgomery Holdings, who hadn’t touched his social media account for years, suddenly shared the announcement.
