Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
During helpless moments, one always wishes to possess the strongest power, because this world has always been especially unfair to the weak.
Everyone knew that Lisa was Emma’s assistant, yet here she was at Hai Yi Center carrying multiple bags of gear, trying to get her balance as she followed behind Danika. She was obedient towards Danika as she ordered her around.
“Hasn’t Emma ever taught you the rules? Now that you are Danika’s assistant, if you don’t greet everyone as you pass them, people will think Danika has a bad work ethic.”
Danika’s manager poked Lisa’s head as he complained.
“I don’t know if Emma has any manners, but…you…are following Danika today, so you need to show some respect.”
Lisa endured the humiliation, the scolding and the looks of ridicule around her as she lowered her head and replied, “Sorry, I will take note from now on.”
“Danika needs to have her makeup done. Don’t wander around aimlessly like a newcomer, go fetch Danika’s shoes from the car!”
Lisa held back her anger as her hands clenched into fists. Because of her anger, her face began to turn red and her eyes were watery…
Danika’s manager looked at the exp**ssion on Lisa’s face and unfolded his arms as he walked over to Danika arrogantly, “Emma’s people are different when you order them around. They are like dogs!”
“Have you placed what I told you to place in the shoes?” Danika sat in front of the mirror allowing the makeup artist to do whatever she needed.
“Don’t worry…how could I screw up such an entertaining show?” her manager studied Danika’s face in the mirror and noticed a secretive smile sweep across her face.
The backstage of fashion shows had always been chaotic and uncomfortable. Even for an international model like Danika working for an international top-grade brand, things were no different. She even shared the same waiting room as newcomer models.
Not long after, Lisa approached Danika with her shoes.
Danika’s manager glanced at her quickly and scoffed, “Why are you still standing around blankly? Kneel down and help Danika put on her shoes.”
Helping an artist put on shoes wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but…
…she was Emma’s assistant. Yet she had to submissively kneel down in front of Danika and help an enemy put on their shoes.
Lisa endured the burn in her throat as she held onto one of the shoes and knelt on the ground. With one hand she lifted the high-heeled shoe and with the other she lifted Danika’s right foot. However…
…as her foot entered halfway…Danika suddenly let out a high-pitched squeal and kicked Lisa in the ch*st; there was a pushpin inside the shoe!
A loud “PA” sound followed…
…as Danika’s manager landed a slap across Lisa’s face. He then pointed at her and yelled ferociously, “You sure are brave! How dare you place a pushpin inside Danika’s shoe? Are you trying to stop Danika from going on the show?”
“Emma told you to do this, didn’t she?”
Lisa was stunned by the slap as a handprint slowly appeared on her left cheek…
“I didn’t put anything in your shoe. I retrieved it as it was.”
“How dare you make excuses?”
The manager threw another slap, this time onto Lisa’s right cheek. It seemed he used too much force because his hands also felt the pain as he shook it twice.
“Everyone saw it!”
Lisa looked around at all the eyes that were on her; there were looks of pity, ridicule, mockery and curiosity. In reality, everyone knew deep down what was actually going on: Danika was simply looking for an excuse to humiliate her in front of everyone. No one cared whether she really placed the pushpin or not. But, no one present was at a higher status than Danika, so…
…who would dare step out and stick up for her?
No one!
“Lisa, you should give up hope of anyone sticking up for you. Let me tell you…today you are Danika’s assistant, even if Emma shows up, you will still have no choice but to endure being hit and scolded!”
“Sorry,” Lisa’s tears rolled down her swollen cheeks uncontrollably, making them even more hot and painful.
“Do you think it’s over with an apology? Did you know, because of your pushpin, Danika’s modeling career could have been over?” Danika’s manager threw a heavy accusation on Lisa.
“What do you want me to do?”
“Of course you need to kneel in front of Danika and beg for forgiveness,” Danika’s manager seemed surprised that Lisa didn’t understand the rules of the industry.
“Making you kneel is already going easy on you. If not because of President Lopez, I would have already called the police.”
Kneel?
Kneeling to Danika?
Lisa sneered inside. Although she had already prepared herself mentally and thought of multiple ways to comfort herself…now that the moment was actually upon her, she was so tempted to tear their faces apart and break their necks to cancel out the anger and suffering she felt.
But…
“Isn’t kneeling too much?”
“You’ve already slapped me and humiliated me…do you really need to go that extra step?”
After hearing Lisa’s words, Danika’s l*ps curved upwards as she grabbed onto Lisa’s shirt and pulled her towards her, “Do you think I would be afraid of Emma? Did you think an international model like myself would be afraid of an A-Grade model’s revenge?”
“You should just blame yourself for choosing the wrong master. Even being a dog requires luck…”
After speaking, Danika freed Lisa from her grip and grabbed a tissue to wipe her hands, like she had touched something dirty.
“Aren’t you going to kneel and apologize?”
Lisa didn’t move.
“I told you to kneel!” Danika’s manager kicked Lisa on the back of her leg.
Seeing this, Hai Yi’s staff couldn’t bear watching any longer, so one of them stepped forward to try and convince Danika, “Danika, this is a public space, don’t you think what you’re doing isn’t very appropriate?”
“This evil woman placed a pushpin inside Danika’s shoe. What motive did she have? Does she want to kill our Danika?”
“We’re already being very forgiving by not calling the police. We are simply asking for an apology, isn’t that only right?”
The staff member looked at Danika’s manager helplessly as she smiled, “But…she is, after all, Emma’s assistant.”
Upon hearing Emma’s name, the manager kicked with an unbearable force, making Lisa kneel involuntarily on the ground…
A piercing pain spread throughout Lisa’s entire body, while onlookers burst out in laughter. The manager r*bbed his chin and looked at Lisa satisfyingly, “You should have been obedient from the start and saved me my energy.”
“Eh…since you’ve already knelt…I think you should give our Danika a kowtow as well.”
Danika’s manager placed his hands on Lisa’s shoulders, ready to push her down, when suddenly…
…the entire backstage broke out in a commotion. Someone had called out that Emma had arrived…
A moment later, Danika’s manager lifted his head. Before he could even see what was going on, a huge slap landed across his face; it was ten-times more powerful than the slap he had just given Lisa…
