My Dear Mr. Nice

Chapter 77: Get on your knees and plead

Ivanna Aleman sat in front of the dressing table. She was wearing exaggerated makeup, just as she walked the catwalk to the stage.

When she saw that the person who entered was Micaela, she looked at her with disdain. Adriana told her that Micaela was coming, so she was not at all surprised by her appearance. -Micaela said, "Mind your own business. I'm educating my clumsy assistant, what's it got to do with you?

Seeing that Micaela did not understand the situation, some staff members who perhaps wanted to please Adriana, explained attentively:

-Delfina got Ivanna's shoe size wrong.

-She is going to go on the catwalk in a few days, and due to the high price and that shoes of this brand are not usually seen in shop windows, they couldn't find the right size either. -She has reserved it specially!

-Shoes are very important for a model, whether the size is bigger or smaller can affect a lot.

***

The more senior models sitting in front of other mirrors cast a slight glance this way in a dismissive manner. That would only happen to newbies like Ivanna, she was just taking advantage of it to strut her stuff. Micaela saw that there was a shoebox on the floor, the two shoes with high heels fell out, lying on the floor.

After comforting Delfina for a while, she looked towards Ivanna and said:

-Since the problem has already happened and is irremediable, then we have to think of a solution, hitting people doesn't solve anything.

-You...

-You are lucky that you have already noticed it in advance, at least there are a few days left to prepare other styles. If you had realized it on the day of the performance, you'd be the one crying!

The models laughed and covered their mouths. They had long been fed up with Ivanna's insolent ways, but they had to put up with it because of their family's power. Now at last there was a person who taught this girl a lesson, they felt very much at ease.

Evidently, Ivanna also heard the laughter and stood up angrily, looking at Micaela.

-I don't think there will be a second pair in all of Teladia!

-Besides, I spent eighteen thousand euros for these shoes! And now because of this idiot, the shoes are half a size smaller! Are you trying to make me look bad? -she said looking at Delfina mercilessly and continued--Would you like to solve the problem? Of course we can. Delfina, compensate me for the shoes! Give me eighteen thousand euros, now!

Delfina's face immediately turned pale. She couldn't afford even eight thousand euros, let alone eighteen thousand!

She cried again and pleaded:

-Ivanna, I'm sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose. I indicated on the list that the size was thirty-six, but I don't know who changed it?

-What nonsense are you talking about? You were in charge of all the paperwork, if it wasn't you, who could it be?

-You can't pay, can you? Ask your best friend for help. She's a gold digger, eighteen thousand is nothing for her!

Ivanna spoke in an aggressive tone without forgetting to drag Micaela into the mess.

She also had a grudge against Micaela. Today she entered her territory, she was asking for it! She wouldn't let her get away unscathed so easily! From what she said, everyone noticed Micaela.

-What a pretty girl, how can she be a gold digger!

-Oh, nowadays it's normal in this society. If you are someone's lover you can earn a few thousand euros, why work hard!

Sure, look at the clothes she's wearing, they're branded too!

Ivanna rejoiced to hear what people were saying.

-Those are all gifts from her rich boyfriend, people are invincible when they have no shame!

Delfina shook her head. She guessed that Micaela and Ivanna should meet. Micaela wanted to help her, how could she drag her into this situation?

-Don't talk nonsense, Micaela is not like that! We were colleagues, I knew her very well, don't listen to Ivanna's nonsense!

The people saw that Delfina was already in a difficult position, but she was still defending the woman called Micaela, they understood that what Ivanna said was not true either. Then, they went back to observing Micaela.

-Seeing the elegant aura she has, it's true that she doesn't look like that kind of person.

-Of course.

On the other hand, Ivanna had a bad personality, only no one dared to say anything because of her status.

Some more senior models who already had a more important position, were not afraid of Ivanna, and said something fairer:

-Ivanna, don't be like that, how can you slander people and insult them gratuitously?

-Exactly, they are two different matters, you are talking about shoes, do not involve people who have nothing to do with it.

Micaela smiled at the two in a friendly way and said:

-It's okay. He likes to attack me with all kinds of insults every time he crosses me. Those who are clear are clear, it is not for him to judge my personality.

People were convinced by the aura that Micaela gave off.

Ivanna became furious and projected her anger on Delfina.

-Delfina, you have to pay me for the shoes today, besides, you're fired! I don't want such a stupid, dumb and clumsy assistant!

Delfina hurried to let go of Micaela's hand and came closer pleading:

-Ivanna, don't fire me, please, I'll go and look for them, to all the shop windows and I'll find the thirty-sixth shoe!

-Teladia is so big, if you're going to look for them one by one, how long do I have to wait!

Micaela couldn't stand it any longer. She pulled Delfina back to protect her and said to Ivanna:

-Of course you have no problem firing her. You're so hard to stand, I'm afraid you've already fired quite a few assistants, haven't you? People laughed.

A model of those who had just helped them spoke in a very kind tone:

-She's not too bad. Even though you've been here a little over a month, you've only fired about twenty assistants.

The laughter from around them grew louder.

Ivanna stamped her foot and spoke angrily:

-Those assistants are as dumb as kiss-asses, they didn't know how to do anything and they pissed me off. I paid them, don't I have the right to fire them? That person continued:

-Delfina is the one who has been there the longest and has the best temperament. She puts up with him quite a bit and never gets angry.

Delfina's face flushed, still, she begged Ivanna from behind Micaela.

-Ivanna, give me one last chance, I'm sure I'll find your shoes!

Ivanna answered with contempt:

-Okay, I'll give you one last chance. get down on your knees and beg!

"If I can't do anything with Micaela, at least I can torture her friend!" thought Ivanna. She felt satisfied seeing Micaela who was worried about Delfina.

Micaela felt sad for Delfina seeing her like this. She pulled her back and said in a low voice:

-Ivanna is not a good person. Even though you can fix it this time, she will put more obstacles in your way in the future.....

Delfina looked at him gratefully.

-Thank you for helping me. But, Micaela, I need money and this job.
