The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession (Nivera) novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89

The air outside the building felt lighter as Nivera stepped out into the early abertoon sun, her heels clicked confidently on the prement, a small grin tugging at her lips.

The meeting had gone far better than she expected

The team had been receptive, open, and actually interested in hearing her ideas. With Celeste at her side, everything had flawed smoothly.

The woman had backed her up at every turn, and it hadn’t taken long before Nivers had felt herself ease into the room, commanding it even.

She paused just outside the glass doors, glancing up at the sky, letting the warm light kiss her face. Then she turned to Celeste, who had followed her

out.

“Thank you. You were amazing in there

Celeste smiled, her professional demeanour softening. “You did well too. The way you handled that pitch, especially the pushback about distribution rights? it showed you knew your material”

“I thought I was going to pass out halfway through, Nivera confessed with a laugh.

“You looked calm,” Celeste replied. “And I think they liked you. That helps.”

“Besides,” she continued. “Mr Garcia would have had my head if I didn’t give my best.”

Typical Alejandro, Mivera shook her head as she returned her attention to what Celeste was saying.

didn’t tell me the details, just said to make sure no one tried to screw you over. He said, and I quote, “I don’t want her walking into a shark tank without backup.“”

Nivera blinked at that. Her heart swelled again, just as it had earlier,

“That sounds like him,” she murmured, unable to stop the small smile.

Celeste handed her a small card. “This is my number, I be in touch, and if anything comes up, call me;

“I will. Thank you again.”

Celeste nodded once, then turned and disappeared down the street, leaving Nivera alone

Still riding the high of the successful meeting, she pulled out her phone to text Alejandro as for some reason, she wanted to share it with him.

Okay, it was because he was the reason the meeting was even happening. Him clearing her name helped a lot.

Nivera: Meeting went really well. You were right about the navy dress

The reply came almost immediately.

Alejandro Of course I was. I’m always right. Tell me more.

Nivera: Not if you want me to stay humble.

Alejandro: Humility is overrated. Tell me how brilliant you were.

She smiled, fingers flying across the

screen.

Niver I didn’t choke. Celeste was amazing. They actually listened to me. I think impressed them

Chapter 89

Alejandro: Of course you did. You’re impressive even when you’re anndying

Nivera: That’s the nicest insult you’ve given me today.

Alejandro Don’t get used to it.”

She chuckled to herself, her cheeks warming as she began to type out a response.

The sound of her name made her turn.

Her entire body stiffened.

Two women stood a few feet away, both dressed more casually now, but their faces were unmistakable. They were the same women from the boutique

Her back immediately straightened and she took a defensive step back.

“What do you want?” she asked, voice sharp.

One of the women, the taller one, held her hands up. “Please. We’re not here to fight. We’re not here for anything bad.”

> talk. Pl

The second woman nodded quickly. “We just want to talk. Please

Nivera narrowed her eyes. “Why would I want to talk to you? You slapped me in front of a dozen people.”

“We know,” the first said quickly. “And we’re sorry. We’re really sorry.”

“We got fired,” the second added. “The day aher that happened. Our manager, the assistant manager, half the team–everyone who stood there and did nothing. We were all let go.”

“Good,” Nivera said coldly

“Please,” the first woman stepped forward. “You don’t understand. It didn’t just stop there. Our faces were posted online. Every job wo applied to after that has turned us away People are calling us violent. Abusive. And the lawsuit.”

“What lawsuit?”

“The defamation case your lawyer sent.” Her voice cracked. “You Kid a lawyer send us a warning. We’ve never had lawyers come after us before.”

Nivera frowned, the pieces clicking together. She hadn’t sent any Lawyer after them.

Of course not.

But Alejandro would have.

He didn’t let it go, just as she had thought. Of course, he didn’t.

He never let anything go

Nivera stared at them. She wanted to feel satisfaction. She wanted to gloat.

But instead, she just felt tired

“You expect me to believe you’re sorry now because you’re facing the consequences

“You have no idea what it’s been like,” one whispered “Waknow we were wrong. We know we hurt you. But you know what he’s like. Please he won’t

stop until we’re ruined. You must know how scary that is, especially after you laced the same thing.”
