Gabrielle sent a message to Michelle, telling her that she was going to ask for her autograph. On her way out of the elevator to take the poster to Jason's office, she saw Vivian coming from the opposite side of the hall.
Clad in a black and green mini skirt, she looked incredibly good. Vivian's outfit emphasized her curves more than ever. Walking towards Gabrielle in a pair of 12-centimeter ivory heels, she had an air of displeasure around her.
"Good afternoon, Vivian." Gabrielle greeted her as a sign of courtesy.
"Have you come to find Jason? This is Michelle's poster, correct? I did not expect you to be such a fan girl. You're here to have it autographed, aren't you?"
It definitely sounded like Vivian did not take a liking to Gabrielle.
"Yeah, I came here to have her sign my poster. I adore Michelle." She admitted without a tinge of embarrassment. In Gabrielle's mind, there was nothing shameful about idolizing someone.
"Michelle is way up in the clouds, you are nothing but a mere employee. She came to see Jason today to talk about work. If you come barging in so rashly just to ask for her autograph, what would she think of our company? We don't want her to be disappointed at our institution's quality, don't we?" Vivian acting this way was not news to anyone. She always scoffed at Gabrielle without any trace of emotion.
Although she was used to it, Gabrielle could not help but still feel a little uncomfortable.
"I see. You're right. I am way over my head. I better go." Gabrielle turned on her heels to leave and was ready to press the elevator button to go down.
Vivian did not intimidate her, she genuinely just did not want to cause Michelle any trouble.
"Gabrielle, since you want to have her autograph so badly, I can help you,"
Vivian said as she sickeningly attempted to act with good conduct.
With much hesitation, Gabrielle handed the poster to her. "Thank you, Vivian. I have to go."
She got on the elevator and texted Michelle saying that Vivian would deliver the poster in her behalf.
Michelle had been wanting to meet Jackson and Gabrielle for a while now. She found it ridiculous that Vivian would be the one to take the poster upstairs. Meeting Vivian did not interest her at all.
Someone came knocking at the door just when Michelle was about to ring for Gabrielle.
"Jason, it's me." Vivian's voice reverberated from the outside.
Jason turn to look at Michelle. "It's Vivian. She is one of our best designers."
'Vivian?
She must be the woman Gabrielle was talking about over the phone.
Why is she here instead of Gabrielle?'
Michelle threw an unwelcoming look at Jason. She was evidently unhappy about the fact that Vivian was here in Gabrielle's place.
"Ohhh. I see. Your excellent designer even insisted on fetching the poster for her colleague. Your employees must be pretty friendly with each other." The sound of sarcasm in Michelle's voice could not be hidden. She was obviously unhappy with the situation.
Jason could not quite gather why Michelle had a sudden change in mood but he certainly could tell that she did not fancy Vivian at all. He glanced at her and gave her his most reassuring smile.
"Yes, that is the goal of my studio. I aim to build a friendly community inside of work," Jason retorted with utmost calmness.
As the head of the company, it was natural for him to want that his colleagues got along well with each other.
"That's great. It is your studio after all. Let this excellent designer come in. Maybe she has some pres
