Chapter 195: Heading TO Her Doom

"Here’s the contract," the man said, placing a stack of neatly organized papers in front of her. "Feel free to read through it again and sign at your own pace. I’ll step out to attend to some matters while you go over it."

"Oh, there’s no need to read it again; our legal team has already approved it," Briena replied confidently, picking up the pen to sign. She felt a surge of urgency, worried that something might change if she delayed.

The man nodded, maintaining his calm demeanor. "Alright."

Briena signed each page where indicated, finishing with a sense of satisfaction. "I’ll prepare another copy and send it to you soon," he said. "Since you were in a hurry, I only brought one copy for now."

"No problem," Briena replied.

"Of the agreed signing fees, half would be transferred to you in sometime." The man informed. "We have your bank details here already."

Briena nodded and asked.

"Shall we announce now that the contract is signed and I’m officially working with you?"

The man smiled warmly. "We’re eager to announce it. Our company will release the news shortly—possibly before you even leave the building."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Dwen," Briena said, brimming with excitement.

They enjoyed a coffee together, and the staff gave Briena a brief tour of the office. As she admired the premises, she thought, Soon, I’ll be here regularly—the top among the top.

Just as Mr. Dwen had promised, NovaFrame officially announced the signing before Briena even stepped out of the building.

Outside, reporters waited eagerly, but Briena slipped into her car without pausing to speak to them, ignoring their rush toward her.

With a smirk, she said, "I won’t be talking to those ants directly anymore. I’m no ordinary person now."

Ana nodded. "You’re right, Briena. No superstar stops to chat with the paparazzi."

Just then, Briena’s cellphone rang and her eyes almost rolled at the huge amount she saw on mobile screen that was said to be deposited in her account.

"Is this the half amount?" Briena asked in a shock. "I was so much in a hurry to sign that I even forgot how much I am getting paid."

Ana looked at the screen as well and gasped in shock. "Is it like you are going to be the highest paid actor ever? I never heard anyone receiving that much of an amount."

No word could come out of Briena’s throat.

"I am sure your grandma would say nothing at all and instead feel proud of you," Ana said.

"She will realise, choosing me over Natalie, was the best decision she had ever made," Briena said, "Now I will show that bicth Natalie what I truly am."

Inside Natalie’s office, Mia entered, having just returned from an important task.

"Alright, Natalie, the photoshoot went well. We’re gearing up for the full-blown advertising soon. The perfume launch will happen before your perfume competition. If ours is a hit, it’ll boost your credibility going into the competition."

Natalie looked up from her laptop, her expression thoughtful. "It could also be used against me to question my credibility, so don’t get too excited. But we can probably count on some free publicity, at least."

"I’m sure you’ve already thought of a way to handle that," Mia replied. "I never doubt your foresight."
