In the studio,-
During the filming, Bryant browsed the news and asked, "Harriet, it is really abnormal that there is lots of hot-searching news about you these days."
"It's not abnormal but I am currently out of luck.
Harriet responded randomly, and continued to recite her lines.
"You are being so calm. Aren't you going to clarify the rumors online?"
"The best clarification is to keep silence."
"Why I feel that you just have no idea to fix them?"
Bryant used to play tricks with her but it was strange to see her listless. "Are you really stumped by them?"
Harriet glanced at him, "Will you help me solve it?"
"What? Would you like to ask help from me?" Bryant moved his chair closer and was going to give her some ideas. "You are actually deliberately bulled by someone since there is lots of bad news on the internet about you. First of all, you have to know the culprit and secondly, you need to prepare for the next messing up when current rumors are fixed. So, tell me who is bullying you."
"If I knew the person, how would I be such upset?"
"Then I cannot help you."
"You just said nothing useful."
Harriet turned her head away and ignored him. It was possible that Wesley made up the rumor about her and Bryant for punishing her. However, the succession of these incidents was completely not the style of Wesley. And Wesley did not have the reason to trouble her right now.
Charlene, Charlene, Irene...
After repeating silently these two names in her mind several times, Harriet thought of the middle-aged lady who asked her to leave Wesley.
Irene was supported by the Jones family, and it was only the Jones who could grab her work chances from Wesley.
Sandra was in a beauty salon when she received the call.
Her body was covered with a pink bath towel and a mask was on her face. She was lying side by side with her daughter Louisa for beauty treatments. The masseurs were massaging their heads.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Jones, it's me."
Sandra slightly raised the corner of her lips when she heard the voice, and the mask was moved following her smile. She was quite proud.
"Anything I can help you? Miss Clark."
"I have seen your means. Are you free tonight? Let's keep talking about your last proposal."
"Okay, I will send the address for you later. I hope you can give me a satisfying answer."
Hanging up the phone, Louisa looked over at her mother drowsily, "Who was that? Are you going to have dinner with someone at night?"
"Nothing. It is my friend. I'll leave first in a moment."
Louisa could not handle these issue and Sandra didn't want her to be cranky if she knew it, so she just did not tell her about it.
"Oh, so I have to have dinner alone tonight?"
"You can ask Wesley for dinner as you haven't met him for a few days. Don't be busy with your little bar. There is nothing to do with it. It is the correct thing to catch Wesley's heart."
"I'm serious about running a bar. Wesley also supports me. Mom, don't worry. Don't you need to have dinner with your friend? Just go."
Louisa impatiently urged her to leave. Sandra frowned, and then only helplessly glanced at her who was indulged since childhood, and put on clothes and left with her bag.
It was still a very high-end restaurant even though it was not the same on as before.
In the middle of the huge restaurant, there are only a few delicate dishes on the table that didn't seem to be made for human consumption. No one moved their chopsticks.
Harriet was late but she said forthrightly after apologizing for her lateness, "I have learned Mrs. Jones's ability and sorry to underestimate you."
"Okay, don't talk so politely. It proves that you have suffered enough in the past two days since you called me. If you still turn down my request, I will not be so merciful for you. "
Sandra laughed contemptuously, "Now you have learned the consequence of offending Jones family, right?"
