Chapter 43 Golden Paper
Brittany couldn’t defy Jessica but her resentment towards Daniel deepened. She vowed to get even and wipe away her humiliation. Daniel had made a fool of her and Jessica didn’t intervene. She plotted to turn the tables on him at next week’s staff meeting, right in front of the whole company. Jessica surely wouldn’t step in then. If she couldn’t get him fired, she’d humiliate him until he was too ashamed to stay at TMO and left on his own.
Brittany rushed to the restroom to wash the ash off her face. When she came back, Jessica was taken aback by her appearance.
“Your face…”
“What? Is there a problem?” Brittany quickly pulled out a compact mirror from her LV bag and examined her face.
To her shock, her skin looked radiant and youthful, as if she had turned back time to her eighteen–year–old self.
“The ash I shook onto your face
was actually a free face mask gift. But the effects will only last for a day,
your skin will return to normal tomorrow,” Daniel explained.
Jessica believed him and seized the moment to softly tell Brittany.
“You misunderstood Daniel earlier. He wasn’t teasing you but gifted you a miraculous face mask. You’ve seen the effect yourself. I’ve used countless face masks, and none compare to this!
So, you should thank Daniel and get along with him. And don’t you pick on him anymore.”
“Me? Thank him? And quit picking on him?”
Did I s
something wrong?”
Jessica’s words left Brittany speechless. But these were Jessica’s orders, and she dared not ignore them. Reluctantly and with a professional smile, Brittany spoke to Daniel.
“Thank you! I promise I won’t pick on you ever again!”
Though her last words were uttered through clenched teeth! How could she let Daniel off the hook? Not only did she plan on picking on him, she intended to make him so miserable that he’d resign from TMO himself.
Daniel poured the remaining vodka over the once charred scroll. The moment the liquid hit, the blackened paper sparkled golden and exuded the scent of alcohol.
Nicholas was flabbergasted at the sight of the scroll, his face registering complete disbelief.
“Is… is this a Golden Paper painting?”
“You’ve got it, Smiley Nick!” Daniel confirmed with a smile.
Brittany, overcome with curiosity, asked, “What’s a Golden Paper painting?”
Chapter 43 Golden Paper
“Golden Paper paintings are created on Golden Paper, Golden Paper is extremely rare and scarce because its production process is incredibly complex. It’s so rare that not many have even heard of it,”
Daniel explained.
Nicholas picked up a magnifying glass and inspected the scroll meticulously. After examining it, he shook.
his head in regret.
“What a pity! Such fine Golden Paper, wasted like this!”
Brittany immediately perked up, excited.
“Smiley Nick, what do you mean ‘wasted“?”
“Literally what I said! Golden Paper of such high quality is only worthy of the most elite artists. Look at how crude the painting on this Golden Paper is now.
