Hazel Nguyen
Bridgette is Hazel's right hand at Hazel Boutique. All job applicants have to go through Bridgette to get to Hazel. Bridgette is shown to admire Hazel deeply, even to the point where she may like Hazel romantically. In Chapter 13, Hazel fires Bridgette, as she is tired of putting up with her and the way she treats Hazel Boutiques' employees. After this they retain a negative relationship.

Your Character
In Chapter 1, you arrive at Hazel Boutique to interview for an internship as a fashion designer. However, Bridgette does not believe you are qualified and says she is going to have words with whoever wasted her time with your interview. Before she kicks you out, Marco Di Vincenzo interrupts and asks you to be the model for his photoshoot. She objects, citing that he could hire one of the professional models, but he says due to the deadline she moved up, he doesn't have the time to look for someone else who has your looks. She acts rude and condescending towards you at Otto's party in Chapter 2.

She later steals your designs, causing your already negative relationship with her to turn hostile.

Cleo
Bridgette is shown constantly being rude to Cleo and emotionally manipulating her into doing whatever Bridgette wants. It is later revealed that Cleo put up with this kind of behavior because Cleo had a crush on her. When Cleo wisens up, and ends their relationship, Bridgette doesn't care. Their negative relationship remains until the end of the book.
