Chapter 156: 156/Attracting attention

Chapter 156

Julie’s Point of View

My mood was bad... very bad. I couldn’t shake the ghost of that dream from my head, and I felt an overwhelming urge to regain control over myself. I finished a grueling training session with Max, then headed to my room.

I stood under the hot water for a long time, and after stepping out, I carefully dried my hair and put on a pink dress that clung to my body. I let my hair fall over my shoulders, applied a touch of makeup that accentuated my green eyes, and finished with high heels that added a boost of confidence to my stature.

I looked at myself in the mirror; I looked beautiful, even ravishing, but was I enough to make Robert notice? I left the room and headed to the office with confident strides, but I found no one. I frowned in confusion.

Where is he? Is he still asleep? I went to his room and knocked lightly, but there was no response. I pushed the door slightly to find the room completely empty and tidy.

In the hallway, I found a guard standing rigidly. "Where is Mr. Robert?" I asked anxiously.

"I don’t know, miss," he replied without looking at me.

I huffed in frustration, then spotted Olivia approaching with her usual strut. She scanned me with a scrutinizing look and said mockingly, "Is there a party you’re attending, Julie?"

"What? What party?" I said coldly.

She looked me up and down, pursing her lips. "All this elegance... is there a reason?"

I returned the gaze sharply. "You’re elegant too. Is there a reason?"

She laughed softly. "I am always elegant, but I’m a bit surprised by you... your clothes are usually so random."

"Are you looking for a fight, Olivia?" I narrowed my eyes.

"No..." she said, stepping toward me threateningly, "I just want to annoy you."

"My mood is sour today," I snapped with a sigh. "I have no patience for your nonsense."

At that moment, with a speed I didn’t expect, she grabbed my arm firmly and pulled me into that suspicious room the one containing nothing but a bed and a mirror mounted on the ceiling.

She slammed the door behind her, pinning my back against the wall so hard I gasped. She pinned my hands above my head, her chest heaving in front of me. "Have you forgotten, Julie, that I told you I would make this club a hell for you?"

"It’s already hell!" I grunted, straining my arm muscles to break free. "What more are you trying to do?"

"To increase your torment," she said venomously.

In a flash, I gathered my strength and shoved both hands into her chest, sending her reeling back in shock. She adjusted herself, a smirk playing on her lips. "Interesting... you’ve gained some strength!"

"Do you think I’ll let you torture me again?" I panted from the adrenaline.

She stepped toward me to slap me, but thanks to Max’s training, I was faster.

I ducked skillfully, grabbed her by the waist, and shoved her hard until we both fell onto the bed. She quickly flipped me over, pinning my shoulders. "Does the little kitten have claws now?"

I didn’t give up.

I resisted and rolled her beneath my weight, pinning her down instead. "Don’t underestimate me, Olivia!" I said, squeezing her wrists.

Finally, I stood up, breathing heavily. I straightened my pink dress and fixed my disheveled hair. "Be certain that I will be a formidable opponent," I said sternly. "And I won’t go easy on you either."

I walked out of the room feeling a rush of power. In the hallway, I ran into Patricia, the makeup artist, and Sam, the hairstylist. I hugged them warmly; despite only meeting them once, I truly liked them.

Sam looked at me in awe. "What a beautiful girl! What happened to you, darling? Why don’t they send us to you to glam you up anymore?"

"Oh, Julie..." Patricia said, touching my cheek gently. "Seeing your face without the bandage... your beauty melts me! You have no idea how much I want to put makeup on this ravishing face."

I laughed from my heart. "I won’t lie, I wish you could come by one day. You were truly talented that time."
