“Damn it! He hung up on me again!‘ Selena stared angrily at the disconnected call. She wanted to call back, but remembering Lucas‘ words about Aveline being tired, she held back. Once Aveline had enough rest, Selena swore she’d complain to Aveline about Lucas and let Aveline know how Lucas had bullied her! 

Nearby, Aaron couldn’t help but laugh at Selena’s angry expression. 

Hearing him, Selena glanced his way without a word, then turned and walked away. 

A taxi happened to be passing by. She got in, told the driver her destination, and looked away, not sparing Aaron even a glance. 

Aaron gritted his teeth. This woman was getting bolder. Did she really think he wouldn’t do anything to her? 

He took out his phone and made a call. 

Just as Selena’s taxi entered the city, she received a call from her studio boss, who berated her harshly. 

“Selena, if you mess up Mr. Fletcher’s deal, you’re fired!” the boss finally roared before hanging up. 

Selena wanted to say something, but the call had already ended. She was so angry she nearly smashed her phone. 

How infuriating! 

Did everyone think they could just hang up on her? 

Did they think she had no temper? 

Back home, standing on the sidewalk, Selena took several deep breaths to calm herself. She was just an ordinary worker, no match for those wealthy young men. 

She’d admit defeat, okay? 

Selena tried calling Aaron, but he hung up immediately. She tried again, and he hung up again. Selena realized she had been blocked! 

She would endure it! 

Selena messaged Aaron on WhatsApp, “Mr. Fletcher, I apologize for my earlier outburst. I didn’t mean to say those unpleasant things. Attached is my latest revised design draft. Please let me know if any adjustments are needed, and we can discuss further.”

The message was sent successfully. 

Selena felt oddly relieved. At least he hadn’t blocked her completely, or she wouldn’t have known how to reach him. 

However, though the message went through, he didn’t reply immediately. 

After her nap, Aveline felt much better. 

Upon waking, she responded to a round of messages. When she saw Selena’s missed calls, she hesitated, wondering whether to tell her about the act she was putting on with Lucas. 

Just then, Lucas walked in. 

Glancing at her, he said, “I advise you not to say anything. The fewer people who know about this, the less risk we face.” 

Aveline pressed her lips together, then answered Selena’s call. 

“Ave?” Selena’s tentative voice came through as if fearing someone else might answer. 

“It’s me,” Aveline responded. “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
