Winning My Ex-Crush

Fenella’s POV

Jessy knocked on Alan’s office door on the third floor. As usual, after knocking on the door, he would immediately enter the office.

When the door opened, we immediately saw an unexpected sight. Kiara was leaning over Alan, who was sitting in a chair. Her one hand was trapping Alan in the chair, while her other hand was on Alan’s blazer collar.

“Oh, sorry. We didn’t mean-” Jessy stuttered and quickly tried to close the door again.

“It’s okay, Jessy. Kiara was just leaving,” Alan said with a wry smile.

“What? But our talk isn’t over,” Kiara protested to Alan.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, we’re done. You’re fired,” Alan said, still with his arrogant smile.

“What? You’re firing me?” Kiara stepped back from Alan with a surprised shriek.

Jessy and I were also surprised by Alan’s words. We looked at each other without knowing what had actually happened.

“Yes, Kiara. I won’t take back my words or reconsider,” Alan said, rising from his chair and straightening his white suit.

Both of Alan’s hands went into his trouser pockets. Now he stood right in front of Kiara with the same arrogant smile. Then he turned to face me.

“Please tell us what you did to Fenella. Maybe I’ll forgive you,” he said, nodding his chin towards me.

Kiara didn’t immediately comply with Alan. She snorted angrily, biting her lower lip, and then crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“Why? Don’t you want to tell them? Fine, I’ll tell them then,” Alan said slowly.

His voice was loud enough and might be heard throughout the third floor, especially with the office door still open.

“Kiara here, Jessy and Fenella, caused a disturbance for you. She flattened the tire of our operator’s car, then lured him out to leave his laptop open. When we were all distracted, she took over the song player settings on the laptop with her phone’s Bluetooth and set the children’s song to play remotely when Fenella was on stage.”

“What? Is this real?” My mouth hung open after hearing Alan’s explanation.

“As evidence, the laptop’s connection history shows the name of the phone’s Bluetooth. That last connection to the operator’s laptop was Princess Kiara’s.” Alan emphasized the name of the phone as he said it.

“I have to admit, you have great courage and overflowing ambition, Kiara. Unfortunately, you’re too foolish to leave a trace.” Alan whispered loudly and then chuckled.

Jessy and I exchanged glances again. We were so amazed by Kiara’s actions that we’re speechless.

“Did you really do that?” I asked Kiara with disbelief.

Kiara remained silent, grinding her teeth. Now all three of our eyes were focused on Kiara. She looked embarrassed and tried to defend herself. After being cornered by our gazes, she finally groaned in annoyance. She waved both of her hands in the air.

“You said I could be the new face of Gene if Fenella wasn’t here!” Kiara pointed to Alan’s face. When accused like that, Alan laughed.

“You misunderstood, Kiara. I said earlier that you would never be the new face of Gene because Fenella is better than you,” Alan said slowly, as if teaching a student who wouldn’t understand normal speech.

Alan’s eyes seemed sharp, and he seemed serious with his words. Jessy and I were surprised to hear it.

I still couldn’t believe that such a drama happened in my life. I even felt deja vu, as if prom night were repeating itself. The difference this time was that I immediately knew the culprit and could blame her. Whereas during prom night, even though I knew the culprit, I couldn’t blame her.

“Ugh, to hell with all of you! I’m quitting this fucking piece of shit agency!” Kiara stormed out of the room with quick steps.

When Kiara passed me in front of the door, she stopped. Then she whispered harshly to me.

“This isn’t over.” Kiara’s threat sounded vicious.

“Try if you can,” I replied with an equally vicious whisper.

Kiara’s face reddened even more, and she quickly left the stairs. After Kiara left, Alan called us back.

“Sorry for the inconvenience just now. Come in and have a seat.” Alan gestured with his hand for us to sit on the sofa in his office.

Alan’s office was quite large. It could even be said that almost half of this third floor was his office space. The rest were training rooms and a small photo studio.

Ms. Lola’s office interior was entirely changed to Alan’s taste. The furniture and decorations in the room were monochrome black and white. We then sat on the sofa, which seemed to be prepared to receive guests.

Alan walked past the desk and sat on the sofa facing us. Up close, I could see Alan’s muscular body. He was tall, his jacket seemed tight around his arms, and his white pants couldn’t hide his thigh muscles.

If I hadn’t remembered that he was my boss, I might have thrown myself at him like Kiara did. The sexy aura and charisma of a leader radiated so strongly. When I looked at Jessy, she was clearly drooling over Alan.

“Okay, I called you here because I want to ask you a few questions, Fenella Baxter,” Alan said casually.

“Yes. Ask me anything. I’ll be open,” I replied politely.

“Good. I want to know what really happened between you and Kiara. There must be a history that I don’t know about in detail,” Alan said.

“Oh, yes, where are my manners? I apologize for not offering you drinks. I still need to hire a personal assistant to take care of the refreshments in this office.” He grimaced and sighed.

“Oh, it’s okay, Mr. Schmidt. We’re quite full with the cocktails downstairs,” I told him.

“Yes, don’t worry. The party dishes were more than enough. I’m very full and bloated,” Jessy added to lighten the mood.

“Are you having fun? Wasn’t it tiring?” Alan asked again.

“Yes, we had fun,” Jessy and I replied simultaneously.

“Good then. By the way, you can call me Alan. Don’t be too formal,” Alan smiled again. “Please, Fenella. You wanted to tell about you and Kiara.”

“Oh, right.”
