After Vanessa was done with her meetings, it was already past twelve o'clock and she stretched her sore muscles lightly as a relaxed sigh escaped her lips.
Since she had been suddenly appointed as a General Manager of the Grant Corporation, all the employees were gossipping about her arrival, and she had become a hot topic in the company.
In just a couple of days after her appointment, the staff in the company had come to several conclusions about Vanessa's miraculous appearance.
According to them, the most compelling version was Vanessa has a sugar daddy who might be a high-level associate in the main branch. Since even the HR team members couldn't access Vanessa's resume from three years ago after she had completed her graduation.
So, to them, the conclusion was clear that Vanessa appeared out of nowhere because of her background but not of her capabilities.
Although sooner or later Va

The night was dazzling with all the luxury cars parked in their spots, and the venue was filled with people while the security officers were on guard since most of the rich socialites and prominent figures in New York were attending the celebration.
When Vanessa and Fiona stood near the gate with their invitation cards in their hands and were about to step in, they accidentally heard the conversation between Mia and Clara.
As the realization that her ex mother-in-law and sister-in-law were talking about her, a smirk settled on Vanessa's beautiful face while her eyebrows twitched, but she marched ahead without pausing her steps for even a second, as she was looking forward to an amusing show to unveil at the party while her eyes shone with coldness.
Vanessa was curious as to how Mia would obtain her contact information in the party.
Apparently, the Ford's were a well known family in New Y

After Austin had left the venue, Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief and began sipping various beverages with her pals while they continued to converse, and she occasionally caught up with them in the conversation, all the while giving encouraging nods and gentle smiles.
By the time the party ended, Vanessa had become a little tipsy, and she chose to contact a designated driver to take her home because that was the only alternative that appeared best for her
When the car came to a halt across her house, she quickly strode away in stumbling steps while her eyelids were drooping, and she was knocked out on her bed in no time!
The bright orangish hues were sprawling across the glass window as the sun was in its full view, while Vanessa was sleeping peacefully, unaware of the sensation she had caused overnight.
When the clock struck seven, the quiet room was banged with her ringtone and she reluctantly fiddled with her fingers while her eyes were still closed.
As she couldn't find her damn mobile, exasperated she rubbed her eyes and opened them, and grabbed her phone lying on the other end of the bed.
Eyeing the caller's information on the screen, she huffed in annoyance!
"God, Fiona! Can't you cut me some slack, it's just seven!" She muttered under her breath in her husky voice but nonetheless, answered her mobile since she knew there must be something Fiona wanted to say and said groggily, "spit it out!"
Almost instantly, Fiona's chirpy tone was heard, "Vanessa, you have again become a sensation on the internet!"
Hearing that, a frown was settled on her sleepy face and she queried, "what is it this time?"
"Apparently, someone posted our performance at the club last night, and it had become a viral video overnight. Moreover, the term 'drummer diva' is currently trending on Google." Fiona added while her tone was booming with joy
Listening to it, Vanessa blinked her eyes, unsure of how to react when Fiona continued, "Netizens from all across the world are clamoring for your debut! It's ultimately your turn to shine, my darling!
Vanessa climbed off the bed and strolled to the refrigerator, where she grabbed a water bottle and brushed her hair leisurely while putting it up in a high ponytail. "Don't you think 'ultimately' may be an exaggeration?" she asked, scowling slightly when she heard Fiona's comments.
On the other end of the phone, Fiona, who had been thrilled, was taken aback. "Oh, my goddess. I had forgotten that you've been famous for years."
Even though Vanessa's words seemed to be egotistic, she has the means to be so solipsistic because Fiona couldn't even count the number of times Vanessa was famous on the internet over the past ten or so years.
During her college, when she participated in a drama on stage, it had gone viral, and many film agents tried to poach her into the acting field, but she straightforwardly rejected them.
And the list would never end!
After all the things that happened, the term "ultimately" did not seem adequate to characterize her re-emergence as an Internet star.
With a pause, Vanessa murmured lazily, "it would be good if I stayed in the spotlight, these days."
A slight smile etched on her face as she thought through the things while her eyes turned cold, and she shook her head while entering the restroom
Hearing her words, Fiona let out a snort. "That's correct. Even though you have the charms, you opted to maintain a low profile in the past, and you were mistreated in the end by the Jones family!"
Vanessa was the only daughter of the Grant family who hadn't suffered until she stepped her foot into the Jones family. If she wasn't so adamant about marrying that bastard Austin, she wouldn't be so miserable back then.
To top it off, she went against her family and even cut off her ties and become an ordinary woman with no family background just to marry Austin Jones.
But what had she gotten after her sacrifice?
Humiliation and agony!
It's possible to envision the outcome!
"Alright! I'm going to freshen up. I had a meeting to take care of. After all, I'm the manager of Grant Corporation, who can amass millions of dollars in a matter of seconds." Vanessa said while adjusting the temperature of the water in the bathtub.
"That's great! I'm not going to interfere with Miss Grant's ability to generate money. I'm going to hung up!" Fiona added dramatically making Vanessa chuckle.
When Vanessa stepped into the bathtub, the aroma of essential oils soothed her muscles, and she was lost in a daze, reminiscing her past with the Jones family.
In fact, she never planned to hide her identity when marrying Austin!
The night when the accident had happened between Austin and Vanessa, and how they ended up in a bed made her flabbergasted as well.
But since it had already happened, she thought of not taking it to heart and decided to follow her own pace in pursuing Austin.
To her astonishment, Austin proposed marriage the following day, and she suspected he had done so out of remorse and she had no reason to reject him, so they ended up getting married!
Soon after, she tried to let Austin know of her family history, but he never paid heed to her words and always brushed her off, saying he was busy.
When one day, she overheard Mia complaining to Clara that her Sister-in-law wasn't up to the standards of the Jones family since she wasn't from a reputable household and wasn't worthy of the position of Austin's wife.
On another day, when a celebration dinner was held at the Jones mansion, Vanessa heard Mia and her rich socialite friends were badmouthing her because she wasn't from a rich family.
As if a button was pressed, Vanessa abruptly chose to not disclose anything about her family as she wanted to know what Austin would do when he heard those remarks.
She wanted to know whether he was really uninterested in her affairs and took the challenge, but she got to know that indeed, Austin was never concerned for her.
He never gave a damn about her.
He literally had zero interest in her, let alone her family, whom he didn't know!
He never even bothered to know how she was doing, whether she was happy or did she need anything.
It's as if she didn't exist in his eyes!
What a farce!
When accidentally she splashed water on her face, she blinked her eyes and shook her head to not let her past mess up with her present!
After she did her routine, she walked to her wardrobe and grabbed a beige shirt, and paired it with black trousers. Held the black suit in her hands, she climbed down the stairs and walked to the kitchen while placing her suit on a nearby sofa.
Since she thought of preparing breakfast by herself, she decided to make spaghetti as she was craving it recently and turned the stove on.
Expertly, she mixed the ingredients, and soon, the pleasant aroma wafted through her nostrils, which made her pleased, and a gentle smile was spread across her face.
If at all the people with whom once she was acquainted, had seen such a scene, they would even wonder if this was the Vanessa they knew or was this young woman a pretending dupe!
The pampered young miss of the Grant family who wouldn't even step into the kitchen was now cooking and taking care of all her needs by herself.
What a drastic change!
It was all because she married Austin!
The once elegant princess was turned into a nanny after she had stepped her foot in the Jones family.
Anyhow she wasn't dissatisfied with that because she could enjoy cooking the recipes according to her mood and can also relieve her stress at the same time.
By the time she finished eating the pasta, she was satisfied as she wiped her mouth with tissues and stepped out of her house with a smile making the bright morning even brighter.
But that wasn't the case with Mia Jones who was on the verge of bursting with rage after she had seen the news of Vanessa becoming sensational again!
"That bitch Vanessa who just reappeared, had made it to a viral trend and became a celebrity? Hmph." Mia grumbled as she was scrolling through the posts and comments, and almost everywhere, she could only see 'drummer diva'.
"Diva?" Mia sneered in dissatisfaction, and she remembered how she had been bullied because of Vanessa these past months.
Angrily, she opened a contact and dialed it, "Bella?"
With her clenched hands, she sat there, eagerly wanting to find out, if even after what she had done, the people would still think of Vanessa as a diva?
