Everyone applauded her handwork, Roland nodded at her with a smirk
"Bravo! this is so rare and the artwork was heavenly." Scarlett smiled as she replaced her seat, letting out a huge breath she never knew she was holding

"You didn't tell me that we're having such a meeting filled with important people." she angrily queried him as they entered his office
"I'm in no position to explain anything to you Miss Gray, understood?" he retorted in a business like tone
"This should be the last time you'd show up late to any meeting or anything that has to do with the Golden Blinks business, we're not here to play." He warned
"Damned Devil from hell." Scarlett muttered under her breath.
"Prepare for our meeting with the Alvin's Corporation, show me the designs." he demanded.
