A frustrated face early in the morning with no sleep overnight. Nichole Ford was drinking wine nonstop and she's still not getting enough.

Her eyebrows were drawn together in a furrow, and her mouth was set in a thin line, signaling her frustration. The slight crease between her brows and the way her eyes seemed to blaze with a mix of irritation and determination left no doubt about her current state of mind.

She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white as she tried to contain the bubbling frustration within her. Aside from that, she's also anxious of the video that was sent to her. She's been contacting her cousin, but she got no response at all. 

"FUCK HIM!" she shouted.

She's in her condo alone. She doesn't want to get out. She's anxious of how far that person show the video. She didn't even open her phone online. 

What if they decided to post it? What if it circulates online? 

She really can't think right as if she's getting crazy. 

A heavy sigh escaped her lips, a clear sign of her growing exasperation with the situation.

"No, I won't let that happen." she claimed with her eyes full of determination. 

She's thinking plans on how to catch the person who send it to her. Murder sink in her mind as if she's ready to kill just to hide those dirty acts she did. 

"I won't let it slide. After establishing my image in public, I won't let anyone ruin my name." she stated, though still unsure how to do it. 

This one is really difficult for her because she doesn't know who her suspect will be. No one would dare to her enemy. Even Axel who she sees as rival in this industry, she can't suspect the gay actor knowing Axel's personality. And Axel doesn't have the reason to do it. 

No one even knows that it was her who planned all the revelation of Axel's incident. 

Well... did they really don't know?

She doesn't have any update to Axel's auntie anymore. She's mad and curious of how the old woman doesn't report anything to her regarding to her order to make sure Axel's abortion. 

Her brows furrowed deeply, and she bit her lip in vexation, clearly at her wit's end.

The sharp click of her tongue against the roof of her mouth was the only indicator of the irritation simmering beneath her calm exterior.

She paced back and forth, each step heavy with the weight of her unspoken aggravations.

The embarrassment also happened last night still irritate her. How dare them change decision in a last minute and never even consult her. 

It might be her manager's job to do this, but she really tried to contact the CEO of wine company, and she still receive no response at all. 

Just as the exact time, her manager came to her condo. Nichole can see how her manager's face was anxious as if she's about to deliver bad news. 

Her manager's eyes, usually brimming with a warm light, now seemed dimmed, as if veiled by the weight of the impending news. The corners of her mouth, which so often curved into a force smile every time they're in work, were drawn down in a tight line, betraying the struggle to maintain composure. There was a slight tremble to her lips, a hesitation that spoke volumes more than words ever could, and her brow was furrowed, not in anger, but in the deep concentration of someone bracing to deliver a difficult truth.
