At the building of Star International Entertainment Media, Meredith was sitting there in her own office, her face icy. Thankfully, only some in the crew knew about last night's incident, and the rest were her own people. The people in the crew did not dare to offend her, so they mostly discussed among themselves privately and did not dare to spread gossip around. As for the people under Meredith, they were even more unlikely to spread it.
Everyone knew that she was not in a good mood, so they were nervous around her. Also, Noelle’s face was still swollen after being slapped by Meredith, but she didn’t dare to say that the latter had hit her, so she could only tell everyone that she accidentally hit the wall last night.
"Meredith, have some water." Noelle warily handed a cup of water to Meredith, all the while having her head lowered, not even daring to look up at the latter. Working as Meredith’s assistant, Noelle received a very high salary, and her boss was usually good to the people under her by often sending them cosmetics and clothes, so there were a lot of benefits if they worked for her. Nowadays, it was hard to find a job, so Noelle really did not want to lose this job.
Seeing that, Meredith picked up the cup of water and raised her head toward Noelle with a smile. "Noelle, what happened to your face?"
Noelle shivered in fear. "I-I accidentally hit the wall with my face when I got up in the middle of the night last night to go to the bathroom."
"Oh, how careless of you. Maybe you were too tired yesterday? If you want to rest, I can give you a vacation." Meredith's tone was gentle, and her persona seemed to have reverted to that of a kind and lovely goddess.
"No, no, no, Meredith. I don't need to rest. I really don't! I really didn't mean to do that yesterday! You must not fire me!" Noelle was like a scared kitten as she trembled all over.
However, Meredith took her hand and replied, “You're doing such a good job here, so why would I fire you? What happened last night is already over, and it was just my own fault for getting my hopes up. That person you saw was not Pierre.”
