I could hear the board laughing softly, finding my presentation amusing. I smiled at them and played the first video. Where beautiful models paraded the Nemesis brand’s new winter collection attractively and charmingly, there was something in the light, the setting, the editing, and the angle at which the clothes were placed that valued it more and made it more attractive, it was something innovative and well programmed, garlic that not even the competing brands had, and now Nemesis had that advantage. The product might be common, but good advertising made it
exclusive and desirable.
I noticed that all the board members were ecstatic with my presentation, they praised and nodded, liking what they saw, but when I looked in Jason’s direction, he seemed uninterested as he was looking at his cell phone. Good heavens, he wasn’t even watching the performance! I was so angry that I wanted to scream at him, but like it or not, he was my boss, and I couldn’t just scream at him, especially now that he hated me. He was capable of disapproving of my hard work just to see me suffer.
So I bit my lip and tried to ignore him. When the presentation ended, everyone on
the board looked at him to see if he had his opinion, since he was the most important person there. Jason, in turn, continued using his cell phone as if there weren’t a bunch of men and women from the executive who had worked their whole
lives to get a position as high as that, only to have to put up with a spoiled young
billionaire who found it more interesting today to participate in an online chat
rather than paying attention to what they were doing.
Who was he talking to? Could it be that now that he had decided to move away from me, he was now looking for a new woman to have an adventure with? Or was he
talking to Kendall after deciding to give her a chance? Anything was possible… I
fixed my hair, feeling apprehensive. I was still standing, waiting for Jason to give
his sentence.
After three minutes, Jason looked up from his cell phone and looked at everyone.”
Some problem?” He asked as if he had now noticed that the room was silent.
“Nothing much, sir. We’re just waiting for your opinion on the work presented,” Mr. Quagmire said.

“Is it over yet?” He asked with raised eyebrows.
“Yes, sir,” the people stated.
“Good,” he sighed. “It was very long, it seemed more like a short film than an advertisement. What I know about advertisements is that they take less than a minute, not all the time it takes. And there was also drama involved and a lot of characterization, the script is weak for advertising for a luxury brand like Nemesis. I suggest you go work in the film industry, Ms. Thompson.”
“If you had paid attention, Mr. Davies, you would see that it wasn’t just one advertising video that was shown here, there were several, one for different tastes. The idea is to present several versions of the human being, hence the reason the
video seems too long,” I replied, unable to hide my sarcasm.
“Are you saying I didn’t pay attention to the presentation, Mrs. Thompson?” He was looking at me so coldly that I felt a shiver run down my spine. “You know I can destroy your shitty work whenever I want, right? And then I want to see who will hire you again after a negative recommendation from me.
“You just can’t destroy my work.”
“Oh, I can and I will!” He raged.
“Sir, we can’t lose this work. It’s high time to start everything from scratch because our clients already know that our campaign starts next Monday,” said one of his men, afraid of Jason’s hasty decision. Everyone on the board also seemed
uncomfortable with what Jason was doing.
“And you think I care about this fucking collection?” He was rude. The stylists who also participated in the meeting looked visibly uncomfortable now, everyone there had given their blood for this work, and now everything was being ruined by this. man. “I’ve already made my decision, project rejected!” He said he was getting up from his chair. “Meeting adjourned!”
