Chapter 70
Selene’s car stopped at the huge building before her, which had Klerene written on it. Her heart raced in her chest as she stepped down from the car.
“Ma’am, do you need me to come along with you?” Ito, one of Xavier’s men who had followed her into the Harrison’s company building when she wanted to search for her property papers in her father’s office, asked her.
It turned out that Kace was busy with a few things and Xavier couldn’t accompany her due to his work. She had already informed them about the contract and they congratulated her.
Selene shook her head. “No, you can stay here Ito,” she replied, shutting the door of the car. She took a deep breath before she marched towards the entrance of the building.
As soon as she showed her ID to the security men, she was allowed entrance into the lobby.
Selene stared at the lobby of the most famous brand, her eyes widened in awe. Even though it was just a lobby, it looked like a palace. The space was expansive, illuminated by bright, shimmering lights that reflected off every surface, enhancing its beauty.
“Wow,” Selene could only mumble to herself before she marched to the receptionist.
“Hi, I have an appointment with the CEO of Klerene. I am Selene Jones,” she introduced herself. The receptionist nodded in understanding and typed away on her keyboard to confirm it.
While she was doing that, Selene continued to admire the lobby.
“This place is too amazing,” she mumbled to herself again.
All of a sudden, she heard someone call her name, “Ms. Selene p>
She turned towards the direction of the sound. She found a woman who seemed to be in her late forties walking towards her. She was dressed in a black female business suit with a few accessories adorned on her wrist and neck.
Selene’s jaw dropped when she recognized the woman. It was Klerene Miller, the CEO of Klerene. She named her brand after her.
When Ms. Klerene arrived in front of Selene, she immediately embraced her. Selene reciprocated the gesture, wrapping her arms around Ms. Klerene with a warm smile.
“How are you? I’m so glad you were able to make it today,” said the woman. She might be slightly old, but her age didn’t show on her face at all.
This was the first time Selene was meeting the woman face to face and she couldn’t help but admire how beautiful Klerene looked. Her sense of fashion plus her makeup, everything looked perfect on her. She kept on admiring to the extent she forgot to reply to the woman’s question.
“Ms. Selene?” Klerene tapped her on the shoulder.
Selene immediately got back from her thoughts before she maintained her composure. She pulled a genuine smile on her lips as she replied, “I’m fine, thank you. I’ve always been a big fan of your brand p>
Klerene couldn’t help but chuckle lightly at Selene’s response. She nodded in understanding before she said, “In that case. Let’s go to the meeting room. Everyone is waiting for us already p>
’Everyone?’ Selene wondered. She concluded that it must be her co-partners. When choosing a person to be a global ambassador, so many decisions had to be made.
Klerene led Selene towards the elevator until they arrived at the meeting room.
Selene noticed the people seated around the people but didn’t find any of them familiar, until when her eyes landed on a familiar figure.
’What is Michelle doing here?’ She couldn’t help but wonder. She hasn’t seen Michelle since after their last talk at the villa.
Kleren offered Selene a seat while she took the head seat. Everyone’s gaze was on Selene as they smiled at her. They have heard about Selene Jones from the rumors and the video that has been circulating over the internet for the past few days.
Seeing her in person now, they couldn’t help but admire her beauty.
A man seated beside Selene introduced himself as Xavier’s lawyer who would also be her lawyer. Xavier had already informed her in advance that he was going to send her a lawyer who would help her with the contract signing and explain anything she didn’t understand.
Selene could feel Michelle’s glare on her but paid her no mind.
“Well, shall we begin?” Klerene started.
A man clad in a nice tailored gray suit passed a file to Selene’s lawyer.
“As stated in that document, we want Selene Jones to sign a contract with Klerene to be its global ambassador. Judging from her presence in this meeting, it’s obvious she is interested p>
“We all are aware of the video circulating the internet for the past few days. Our main global ambassador, Michelle Wallace, was recorded in the video admitting to a vulgar trap she planned for Selene Jones out of spite p>
Selene frowned slightly, already foreseeing where the conversation was leading.
She glanced at Michelle and could see the worried expression plastered on the latter’s face.
“Because of Michelle Wallace’s scandal, Klerene has lost a few potential buyers which is bad for the business p>
Michelle clenched her fists together as she waited for Klerene’s lawyer to spout out the rest of his words.
“Klerene Miller, with the rest of her board members, have decided to terminate Michelle’s contract with Klerene and replace her with Selene Jones,” the lawyer concluded before taking his seat.
Michelle’s eyes flared in anger as she glared at Selene who stared at her with a rather expressionless look.
Another man clad in blue suit, who was seated beside Michelle stood up and said, “You are planning to terminate my client’s contract with Klerene and hire Selene Jones because of the scandal. I understand you are worried about your business, but if I remember correctly, Selene Jones was involved in a much bigger scandal. She was rumored to have had affairs with Mr Jeunes, the director of The Sinner just to get a role. Am I right Ms. Selene?” He asked her.
Without waiting for her to reply, Michelle’s lawyer questioned Klerene whose back rested on her chair, “Don’t you think Klerene will fall even more if you hire Ms. Selene Jones as your global ambassador p>
