These men knew that she had relationship with Wesley, and immediately tried to please her with pretty big smile on their faces. They inquired the detail about her relationship with Wesley.
Harriet wasn't grateful for Wesley at all, and she was even a little upset.
He just treated her as a beautiful woman, and did not allow others to touch her as she was belonged to him. She was mad about him and could just smash her bad temper on those guys present.
Since Wesley had asked them to take care of her, she would just accept his goodness.
"Henry, do you really allow me to act the second protagonist in the drama?"
"Miss Clark fits for the role in every aspect and you can even play the first heroine!"
Henry was so embarrassed that he didn't seem to dare to recall what he had done to Harriet just now.
"That is great!" She offered her glass, "Toast for you."
"My pleasure." Henry stopped her in a rush, "You can drink a cup of tea instead of the wine."
The waiter brought tea, Harriet took a sip, and her body gradually warmed up. Compliments all came from her ears from the men but she responded nothing.
"Boss Baker, I'm late."
A charming voice came. Harriet raised her eyelids and saw Irene.
She set such a big trap for her but just showed up now. She must want to see how embarrassed she would be but unfortunately she missed it.
Irene thought the show just started as the men were all sitting around her. She spotted the tea cup in Harriet's hand, "Harriet, why do you just drink tea? Isn't too stupid to do that? "
The atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant once Irene said those words.
Harriet took a calm look at Irene, "Henry, I said I should drink some wine instead of tea. Irene knows the rules though she just has debuted for a short time. It is rude for me to drink tea in front of you since I have longer experience than her in the industry."
The men were uneasy. Henry stared at Irene and yelled, "Irene, what nonsense are you talking about? Let alone you are late, how dare you treat Miss Harriet like that as she is also your senior in the group!"
Irene froze with confusion, “Henry, Didn't you ..."
"What are you talking about, you are so rude. Just apologize to Miss Harriet."
Irene did not understand what was happening and Baker had stuffed her with a glass of wine.
Everyone looked at her and she still got no clue for all of these. She reluctantly drank the wine and then apologized to Harriet with the warning eyesight of Baker.
Harriet didn't lift her eyelids and just waved her hands indifferently. "Forget it, we are acquaintances. Do not have to be so restraint."
"You..."
"Well, sit here, Irene." said Baker who was afraid that Irene would cause trouble. He quickly interrupted their conversation and let Irene sit next to him.
Irene was mad about the situation, "Boss Baker, what's wrong? Are these people all fascinated by the woman?"
"Keep down your voice," Baker glanced at her, lowering his voice. "I asked you to introduce someone for tonight. Why did you introduce her?"
"What's wrong? Harriet has no background and no status. Isn't she the perfect choice?"
"No background? I think you are a nut." Baker looked at her coldly. "You messed up totally today. You'd better avoid meeting Henry and the other bosses present, including Harriet.
Irene felt awkward about the words Baker said. She glanced into the distance, seeing that Henry was smoking a cigarette for Harriet. She was shocked by that scene.
Harriet has just been abandoned by her boss, and even the brokerage company gave her up. What was going on?
Harriet was excited when she saw that Irene's uneasy face in the smoke.
She always bore in mind that she would revenge against people who hurt her. Thanks for Wesley, she could fight back at Irene today so sharply.
The next day, Harriet put on makeup early and went for the audition of the new company.
The head of the company, Laura, stopped her at the door of the audition room. "Harriet, come with me."
"What's wrong? Laura, I'm waiting for the audition, and it's my turn soon."
