46 The Most Capable Man In the World (1/2)

David had been speaking to a few important guests when he noticed Emma approaching Elle. Of course Elle had no idea who Emma was, so she watched her approach unsuspectingly. But David, who had been in all the meetings and knew that Emma was turned down for the opportunity, watched warily.

Sure enough Emma began provoking Elle. David looked around and realized no one else had noticed anything was wrong yet. David quickly excused himself from his conversation and began discretely making his way towards Elle, trying to be careful not to draw any unwanted attention.

He was still weaving his way through the crowd when he saw Emma lift her glass. David's stomach dropped as he realized what her intentions were. Adam would be sure to give everyone hell tomorrow if such a mistake were to happen. Especially to this girl whom he obviously had taken a liking too. David's face paled as he watched; he was still too far, there was nothing he could do. But Elle stopped the glass.

David watched with surprise as Elle not only avoided the calamity but even smoothed the situation over. Even though she was interacting with people her actions were graceful and true to the image MK wanted her to portray.

Once David was sure Elle was in no danger he spoke to a security guard and had them discretely escort Emma out of the venue. Emma was desperate not to try to salvage the situation and so she complied.

Once that was taken care of David check in on Elle. He signaled to her and led her into a quite corner in the venue where no one would notice them.

”Are you okay?” He asked once he was sure no one was looking their way.

Keeping true to her act Elle didn't say a word. She simply gave David a thankful smile and a reassuring nod of her head.

”Are you sure?” David asked. Elle insisted she was. ”If there are any more issues come find me right away.”

David watched Elle rejoin the party with a knot in his stomach. The only thing left to do was inform Adam of what had transpired. David felt bad for on the model's behalf. But then again she should have known better then try to make a scene at MK's event.

David found Adam speaking to his parents. He approached them and whispered something in his boss's ear.

”Excuse me for a moment.” Adam said to his parents with a frown before leading David backstage.

There David told Adam all the details of what had transpired. Adam kept a straight face through the entire briefing, only his eyes reflected his feelings as they darkened at the mention of the shattered glass.

Adam listened intently. He had expected some problems to occur tonight, but he hadn't expected someone to dare act of their own accord from within the company. Finally, David was finished, he looked to his boss for instruction.

”I don't want to see that models face again.” Adam said coldly.

David understood the implied meaning. ”Yes, sir.” He was about to step away to take care of the situation, when Adam said something further.
