Chapter 15
Leonica knew the manager of such a big event? Who exactly was her backer?
"As a matter of fact, yes." Leonica answered, her raising her chin slightly. "You ladies don't look like business material to me, and if I recall correctly, the invite for this banquet was only to high-end business individuals, who have earned the right to be in this place. And from the way I'm seeing it, you two don't have any qualities befitting businesswomen."
The females' eyes widened, their bodies frozen in their spot as the reality of their situation hit them.
But Lana wasn't willing to back down. She harshly scolded. "You... you don't have any rights to act all might and talk to me like that, you filthy...
"I'd watch your mouth if I were you." Leonica coldly interrupted. "The me from before would have tolerated your gimmicks, but not the me who's the president of the business chambers. I can have you and your husband's outcastes from the business world for the rest of your life, if I wish so."
The moment her threat left her lips, the ladies' expressions shifted and their bodies began to tremble, their legs barely keeping them standing.
"O-oh, come on Leonica, that....that's going to far. We were only joking." Lana quickly apologized.
Leonica didn't say a word, she merely tilted her head.
"We're sorry, okay." The lady beside her added. "Please, have mercy."C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Leonica hummed, her gaze shifting to her fingernails, a sign she was about to turn a deaf ear on them.
""Wait, let's not be hasty." Lana pleaded.
Leonica remained silent.
"We're sorry."
"Yeah, please don't kick us out.
"What's going on here?"
All eyes turned to watch the even manager, Grace Deloitte, walk up to them, her eyes showing curiosity and confusion. However, they turned clear, filled with respect upon spotting Leonica.
"Oh, Ms. Romero, pleasure seeing you here tonight. I hope everything has been to your enjoyment? They haven't caused any trouble, have they?"
"Oh, Ms. Deloitte, these two ladies were just sharing a few jokes with me, aren't you?" Leonica. said, turning her eyes to the two ladies who immediately nodded their heads.
However, much to their dismay, Leonica's smile faded.
The

manager with a new type of smile. "Grace, I believe these ladies aren't qualified to be in this venue considering the fact that they are nothing but socialites with no proper background or connections. Be a dear and make sure they are escorted out, would you?" "Certainly, Ms. Romero," Grace happily replied, clapping her hands twice and having two male guards escort the two females away.
Grace bowed her head while Leonica walked away, Anastasia, giving a thumbs up towards her as she walked alongside Leonica.
"Now that was fire." She praised. "Where was this badass bitch five years ago?"
She foolishly hid away thinking by doing so she could earn the love of someone unworthy, Leonica thought as she simply pressed her lips into a thin line and remained silent.
Anastasia however, continued on. "With a fire like this, you're sure to bag a bachelor tonight."
"What?" Leonica shook her head as the securities waiting at the door opened it for them to step inside. "No Annie, I'm not here for that. My goal's to to gain business connections to strengthen Romero Empire, not 'bag a bachelor',
"But still-" Anastasia began, however before she could finish, Leonica was swarmed by business individuals who were either drawn thanks to her looks or having heard of her.
Settling into the crowd, Leonica signaled with her fingers to talk later before getting chatting.
