Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 96

VICTORIA’S POV

I walked out of the meeting room with Antonio. One of E Shine’s models got tangled in rumors which needed to be suppressed immediately. So, we all had to attend the urgent meeting, and the PR team is working on it. The model has been warned strictly and got the last chance.

Antonio was enraged and wanted to fire her, but I begged him privately. She is one of the famous faces of E Shine, and we could give her one last chance. Finally, Antonio agreed.

After exchanging greetings with us, the board members departed for their respective tasks as we exited the meeting room.

As soon as we were alone, Antonio asked, “So, when will you take pregnancy leave?” We began making our way toward my office.

I caressed my bump. “Soon enough. I guess from next week, after confirming the new project.”

Antonio nodded. “Hmm, you need rest, and this time is crucial for you to come to the office.” He paused before speaking again, “And how is Alessandro? Is he taking care of you?”

I smiled brightly and nodded my head. “He is not only taking care of me but spoiling me.” I pouted a little. “Soon, I am gonna be turned lazy as hell.”

My brother laughed and patted my head. “He better do that, or I won’t let him go!” Even though he said it playfully, the determination there could be heard if one carefully noticed.

“Okay, there is not much work left for the day. You can go home, okay? Take more rest.” Antonio said, and I nodded.

After kissing my head, he left for his office, and I also walked out of my office, describing the work to my assistant.

Soon, I reached home. Getting freshened up, I opened my phone and started scrolling through the designer community on F******k.

As I scrolled two posts, the third post caught my attention. Adornet Art Gallery, one of the famous art galleries in the city, was looking for designers for its annual jewelry exhibition.

Oh! I gasped. Adornet Art Gallery is holding a jewelry exhibition, and I don’t know yet?!

I saw the post date, and it was posted this morning! That’s strange. It’s been a couple of hours, and no hype in the company? Even Daniel did not say anything!

What happened? Does everyone not connected to social media these days?

While thinking, I clicked on the page to see the details. There is a long notice and invitation for designers to attend the exhibition.

I felt so excited. An exhibition outside of the company! I am definitely in! But, I still don’t understand why people are not enthusiastic in the company about it.

Frowning, I scrolled down once again, and there was a list below that caught my attention once again. My gaze swept toward the headline of the list.

‘Companies and designers who are not eligible for this exhibition.’

And guess what? The first place belongs to E Shine! What the fuck!? Why is E Shine not qualified?

Glancing at the other names, I noticed that some single designers and companies are not qualified to participate. However, E Shine stood out as the best among them, surpassing the other designers’ quality!

Why would they do this!?

I went to the comment section, which was filled with surprises like me. The comment section is hyped with E Shine’s disqualification. I read through some comments.

‘I never imagined seeing E Shine in the disqualified list.’

‘Same here. Is there any rivalry going on with the gallery?’

‘You guys are too naive. There is strife not with the art gallery but with the host company. Didn’t you ever hear about the famous rivalry between E Shine and Perficient Global? The Perficient Global Corporation arranges this exhibition, and Rossis have a traditional enmity with Edwards.’

‘Yeah, yeah. I also heard about their old rivalry. It’s obvious why they are disqualified.’

‘Oh! It’s a miss, then! E Shine has some great designers, and I love Victoria Edwards’s designs. (sad emoticon)’

As I observed the comments, I blinked in realization. Without delay, I navigated back to the main page and focused on the hostname, and sure enough, I found what I was looking for.

It’s really from Perficient Global. So, there is no chance for me to participate. This likely explains why there isn’t much excitement within the company, as everyone is already aware of the situation.
