Chapter Twenty–Six
Lana walked out of the dome, blinking back the tears that was threatening to spill down her face.
Even with Zaire’s jacket draped over her shoulders, she was shaking temibly from the night cold and from what had just happened.
Standing by the side of the tamed road, they were almost blinded by the headlights from Lana’s Limo, as it rounded the corner and drove towards them.
The car came to a stop in front of them and Diego jumped out of it, and went round to the owners spot to open the door.
Clanssa walked in to the car and scooted over to the other side, before settling down comfortably. She bent her head and stared out at Lana, wondering why she wasn’t coming in vel.
shrugging out of his suit jacket, Lana tumed and handed it back to Zaire “Well then, this is it. Thanks a lot for tonight, Zaire,”
He looked at her sheepishly, his green eyes boring into hers “I’m sony about what happened tonight, Lana. I never knew the Romeros would honor the invitation this time.”

“Why are yo
“There’s no need to be sorry. They are also big shots in this industry. It’d be weird if they don’t honor the invitation to a show heralded by Pierre Evans. It’s called respect.”
Zaire narrowed his eyes at tana in confusion. She would not lookat him, but beside him or behind him. She was trying very hard to look calm and composed, but he knew her insides would be a turmoil by now.
When he led her out of the dome, he could feel her shaking as she leaned slightly against him. No doubt, the encounter with the Romeros rattled him. “Those damned people!” He swore inwardly and his fists clenched by his sides. He felt like punching something in and be wanted it to be Damien’s face. The way the bastard had been so audacious enraged him. How date he try to ruin everything he’s built for so long?
“This can’t continue. I swear to God, something must be done. I’ve come so far already.” He thought darkly, as he stared past Lana with glazed eyes He did not hear her call out his name until she tugged at his shirt. Dlinling, he snapped out of his thoughts and looked down at her, giving her a tight smile. “Ate you olay?” Laru asked, tentatively and Zaire nodded.
Extending his hand, he gestured over to the lime and she climbed into IL Diego closed the door finnly and went round to the driver’s seat, after acknowledging Zaire with a slight bow,
Lana pressed the button and the window glass slid down, “Hease, tell Pierre I’m really sorry about leaving so quiddy. I just need to…ugh..” She trailed off, groaning in frustration as she was unable to put her feelings into words.

She reded to get out of this place because she felt like choking just breathing the same air with those damned people
“I understand. I’ll talk to him. And Lana Hebent down to look at her through the window and she looked up at him expectantly that happened liere tonight. I have everything under control, okay?”
Lara’s brows forowed in confusion as she wondered what he had undercontrol.

Diego took the cue and drove off into the night, the limo moving like a silent beast. Zaise stood on the sidewalk, his expression stony as he watched the car drive away until it was out of sight.
His assistant stepped towards and bowed “Should call her, su?”
“Put the little buction the phone, this instant!” He growled over his shoulder and stored back into the done, the assistant burying after him.
Lana leaned back against the leaders of the
the leather seats of her car, with her eyes closed
She had finally stopped trembling and was seemingly asleep to Clarissa and Diego, who were watching her from the rearview mirror.
“Young Miss, the chainmancalled and wanted to know if you’d like to have dinner with him. He has a surprise for you!,” Diego said, cheerfully, hoping to get a reaction from Latia, but she gave no indication that she beant Iden.
The atmosphere in the car was tense Diego did not know what happened to the young Miss inside the dose and he glanced at Class, making signs with his eyes to, trying to get her to talk Lan out of her gloom.

Clarissa returned the smile with a bright one of her own, and reached out to squeeze Lana’s land, which lay on the leather seat, before patting it gently
Lana knew what they were trying to do. She knew they were trying to cheer her up.

No, multiple Laces
“Your night is only rained if you let it get to you” she re
reminded herself, closing her eyes once more.
Lama couldn’t help but feel disgusted at the way she was feeling. It’s been live good years and Damien still had the ability to rattle her to this extent. Her mind went back to the way she had seen Damien hesitate when Rina started her little pretend act and the level of resentments that shot through her sent a ripple of shock down her spine.
“I can’t be like this. Damien can’t hurt me anymore.” she thought to herself, shaking her head slightly as though the thoughts would fall oft by doing so. Suddenly, Clarissa gasped by her side. She had her iPhone out and was scrolling through it, rapidly
What the heck is this?” Her indignant tone made both Lans and Diego look at her, eyebrows raised in concent
Clarissa was still focused on her phone, her eyes narrowed with anger. There was a news article out already about the altercation between Lana and the Romeros and the CEO of SERENA
The comments about Lana was malding Clarissa Incensed, and she gripped her phone tightly.

nostrils flaring as she gritted her teeth in anger. “Those damned pests.”
“What is it? What’s going on?” Lana asked this time, sitting up straighter so she could look at her friend.
Clarissa bit her lips as she looked at Lana. She did not know how to tell this to Lana so she showed her phone to her instead “You’re been called out online”
