Chapter 389 Taking the Initiative Outside Young Estate, Yara lounged in the backseat of her luxurious car. After learning Jonathan's whereabouts from Bella that morning, she had eagerly made her way to Young Estate in hopes of catching him.
She had no interest in attending a funeral, but she did not mind using it as an excuse to get close to Jonathan. Yara wore a long, black dress. She checked the makeup she had painstakingly applied. Having made sure she looked perfect, she put on her shades and stepped out of the car.
She surveyed her surroundings and grew disappointed. She grumbled to Kate, "I can't believe the press didn't show up." She had expected to see reporters crowding outside Young Estate to get an exclusive on Oliver's funeral, seeing as the old man had been a titan in the industry.
Had she known the press wouldn't be here, she would have contacted them and had them stationed outside in advance.
Unfortunately, it was too late for Yara to pull such a stunt. She glared at Kate and said, "Forget it. Just remember to call the press and tip them off on where I'll be the next time. What kind of assistant are you? Seriously, I would never have..." Yara trailed off, taking off her shades and giving Kate a sharp look.
"I promise I'll do better next time, Ms. Maize," Kate said timidly. She knew what Yara had intended to say before she trailed off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot too long after Yara returned to the country, she had been invited to an award ceremony. The venue had been teeming with the press, and Yara had been parading down the red carpet.
Kate was one of the usherettes then, and she accidentally stepped on a small-tactress' gown. The actress, in hopes of getting her five minutes of fame, had made a big deal out of the mishap.
Her fans had taken to social media to hurl abuse at Kate, the hate comments flooding her social media account like a storm.
Kate had neither power nor money, so she tolerated the abuse. She thought the incident would blow over in a flash, but a few crazed fans hunted her down and threatened to beat her up and cuss her out.
Just then, Yara swooped in and saved Kate from the altercation. She even called out the small-tactress for not reprimanding her fans' behavior and letting things get out of hand. She defended Kate like an angel who brandished justice as her sword.
In a show of kindness, Yara publicly appointed Kate as her assistant in the country.
When the incident finally blew over, Yara had established herself as a kind and beautiful international actress who had just returned from abroad and cared about the weak.
Kate had been stupid enough to believe in that image of Yara, only to later learn that it was just a facade. Yara was nothing like the angel she portrayed herself to be. She hadn't chere to pay respects to the deceased, but to snag Jonathan.
"You've seen what Jonathan looks like. When you go in, be on the lookout for him and locate him as soon as possible," Yara ordered.
"Yes, Ms. Maize," Kate said with a nod, before noticing that Yara had stopped in her tracks.
She followed the latter's gaze and saw a man in a black suit. One glance was all it took for Kate to sense the man's imperious and domineering air.
His imposing presence was so suffocating that Kate had to avert her gaze. However, an image flashed through her mind, and she realized the imposing man was Jonathan himself! Yara could not take her eyes off Jonathan from the moment he appeared. She had seen his picture before, but it did not do him justice. The refinement and dominance that poured out from him was ten times more than the picture led her to believe.
Jonathan had a face crafted adoringly by the gods themselves. Not even the hottest male celebrity could compete with him.
And he was more than a pretty face. He was the ruler of the Finch family and the head of the powerful behemoth that was The Finch Group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe had money, power, and everything that male celebrities could only dream of having. A man like him could only be Yara's. She was confident that she was the only woman worthy of him.
She drew back her gaze, already tasting the victory that lingered so close by. With someone like Jonathan, she would be wise to take things slow and feel him out, especially since they were at Oliver's funeral.
Kon Yara schooled her face into neutrality and calmed her thoughts. She then made her way toward the funeral hall.
However, when she emerged from the funeral hall, Jonathan wasnowhere to be found. She whirled to O face Kate as she demanded shrewdly, "Where is he?" Kate replied, "He left." "Left?" Kate repeated incredulously.
She shot Kate a menacing look, her features twisting into a menacing expression as she seethed. "What good are you for when you can't even keep a man from leaving?" Yara did not want to miss such a rare opportunity. She let out a frustrated sound and hurried out of Young Estate.
Meanwhile, in the funeral hall, Rose suddenly thought of something, she turned to Miles and said with shesitation, "Miles, I'm heading out for a bit." Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming these rich women will persue you.
