“Why don’t you go ahead and give it a try? It’s time to figure out the reason you won’t move out from Mr. Shane’s place when you’re in a relationship with someone else!”
“That’s enough!” Jacqueline yelled at Joyce and started shivering. “Ms. Rivers, I know you’re holding a grudge against me, but don’t you think you’re taking things too far?”
“Ha! It turns out you’re aware of the grudges I hold against you, huh? If that’s the case, can’t you figure out the reason behind my attitude?”
Jacqueline’s eyes started brimming with tears. She had her lips pursed in an aggrieved manner.
Silas, who had been anticipating another show, stepped in since Jacqueline was about to burst into tears. He cleared his throat and asked, “Alright, I believe that’s enough. Ms. Rivers, what brings you here today?”
The moment Joyce recalled the objective of her visit, she stopped picking on Jacqueline and answered in a courteous manner, “I’m here for Mr. Shane!”
“Mr. Shane?” Silas asked with his brows arched in confusion.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline narrowed her eyes to a slit and asked, “What sort of business do you have with Shane?”
“Is that any of your concern? You must be aware that we’re not really on good terms, so why don’t you stop poking your nose into my business?”
Silas was afraid Jacqueline would burst into tears again. Thus, he suggested, “Ms. Graham, I’ll show you the way out since the chauffeur is already waiting for you. I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
Jacqueline understood that it was a favor from Silas to get her out of the awkward situation. She expressed her gratitude with a smile and marched in the direction of the entrance.
When she passed by Joyce, she paused for a few seconds and glared at Joyce in the eyes, indicating she would get her back in the future.
Once Jacqueline departed, Silas looked at Joyce and announced, “I’ll get in touch with Mr. Shane at once. Please hold on a second, Ms. Rivers.”
Joyce nodded and replied, “Alright.”
A few seconds after the call was made, Silas heard Shane’s voice from the other end, asking indifferently, “Yes?”
Silas took a peek at Joyce and answered, “Mr. Shane, Ms. Rivers is here for you.”
