Deep love: insatiable lover

But the calm was not to last long.

Early one morning, news broke that the Cazalla Group had modified the XiWi Group’s skin care formula and illegally added toxic substances to it, causing facial ulcers.

As soon as the news broke, the main media portals were quick to follow it.

At the same time, the internet was flooded with calls for the Cazalla Group to explain itself, saying that the Cazalla Group had ruined people’s faces for money, and chanting boycotts of Cazalla Group products.

It was a lively scene.

The day was destined to be uneventful.

-Miss Vanessa, the room is full of journalists from the mainstream media. They are all asking for an interview with you so that you can give a reasonable explanation for today’s news.

Enrique said with a frown as he hurried into the office.

With the spread of the media and the internet, the situation grew by leaps and bounds almost by the second.

More and more people became aware and more and more victims came forward to accuse the Cazalla Group of …

The public relations department was busy, as was Enrique.

Vanessa, on the other hand, was the calmest.

-Tell security to get those media reporters out, this is the Cazalla Group’s office building and they are already severely hampering the Cazalla Group’s daily operations by blocking the outside. If any of the media do not cooperate, let the legal services sue them.

Vanessa ordered in a cool voice, without a trace of panic on her face.

Enrique took a deep breath to calm himself and asked.

-Did Mr Dylan expect this situation from the beginning?

-Something like that.

Vanessa sighed, it was all a revenge plot and the victims were really the most innocent of all. A girl’s face was especially important, and if it was bad enough to be incurable, the rest of her life would be pretty much ruined.

Some people are capable of doing such unconscionable things for selfish reasons.

-I’ll go and get rid of the press now.

Enrique finished and turned to walk away.

Back in the office, Vanessa sighed with a frown and opened her website to log into the company’s official account.

There were a lot of people cursing and insulting …, all sorts of nasty things.

After that, he started browsing the posts on the Internet.

In just one hour, many stories of victims of skincare products, of employees of the Cazalla Group’s skincare factory, and even of some of the top management have been told.

There was all kinds of information.

After scrolling through all the news, Vanessa simply left the page.

Buzz…

Vanessa picks up her vibrating phone and opens it. Several unread messages from Dylan appear in her Whatsapp contacts, which she clicks on.

Dylan told him not to worry and that things were under control.

Besides, there was some peace and quiet.

Vanessa smiled and returned Dylan’s message that she was fine.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It wasn’t long before Enrique knocked on the door and hurried back into the office.

-What’s going on?

-It’s someone from the GC,” Enrique frowned and said. I’m afraid by the looks of it they’re not going to come and check, Vanessa, you….

Before he could finish his sentence, the quality control people were already here.

The two men looked at each other and said no more.

Vanessa stood up calmly and greeted the GCs frankly. There were three people, one woman and two men, all in uniform, who looked at Vanessa arrogantly.

-Miss Vanessa, please come with us.

Vanessa frowned, her face still calm.

-Your department is here to investigate the quality of skin care products, you don’t have the right to take me, do you?

-Sorry, we’re just following the rules.

Said the other party, pulling out an official piece of paper and showing it to Vanessa.

She read it quickly and mulled it over in her mind, knowing she had to make that trip today. Thinking of Dylan’s tweets from not so long ago, Vanessa’s heart probably understood.

She nodded and said.

-Good.

-Miss Vanessa!

Enrique looked at Vanessa with concern, his eyes full of disapproval.

-It’s fine, I’m just going to cooperate with the investigation, when everything is cleared up it will naturally be fine.

Vanessa reassured Enrique with a look that told him not to be hasty.

The three GC men, however, gave Vanessa a look of disdain and contempt after hearing her words, as if mocking her ignorance that she could just go back.

Vanessa ignored him.

-Enrique, I’ll leave you to take care of the company while I’m away.

-Good.

Enrique also knew that Vanessa and Dylan probably had something planned, and he didn’t say anything else, just nodded.

-Let’s go.

Vanessa said as she looked at the GC.

The press reporters in the lower part of the Cazalla Group building had not yet left and rushed over as they saw Vanessa being led out by the CG people.

And, surprisingly, the GC people had not parked their cars here, so they had to stop and wait for a while.

This provided an opportunity for journalists in the media.

They swirled around Vanessa, the microphone almost jabbing her in the face.

-Does Miss Vanessa have anything to say about the Cazalla Group’s new skin care products that have been deliberately adulterated with toxic substances that have disfigured people?

-Since the quality control people are taking it away, does this mean that it is true that the Cazalla Group’s skin care products are deliberately loaded with toxic substances?

-The XiWi Group is small but has always specialised in women’s cosmetics and skin care products, and this is the first time we have worked with the Cazalla Group that we have had such a big problem, shouldn’t Miss Vanessa apologise?

…

Vanessa remained silent as the questions continued.

She froze, as if she were watching a farce.

Finally the GC car arrived and Vanessa followed the staff to the car and drove off.

The journalists got nowhere, but that did not mean that some media had nothing to say. After all, they are always good at looking at the images, taking a few pictures, following the trend on the internet and adding some content to make a – professional – report.

SJ Group.

-Mr Dylan, Madam has been taken away by the GC.

-All filmed?

-Filmed.

Mateo nodded and handed him the USB stick.

Dylan’s eyes were cold, like those of a beast ready to attack.

-They’ve already said hello over there, Vanessa won’t be treated like anything. I’ll pick her up once we’re settled here. Heh, let’s show that man how stupid he is this time.

Whatever the other man was going to do, Dylan had never looked him in the eye.

Because he knew that, whatever tricks the other one played, they would all come to nothing.

He was just a clown.

Heh.
