Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 72

"I... I am inferior to them, and I dared not."
Right after Jane's words left her mouth, Hollie and Joann appeared not far away.
They were surprised to see Martha and her assistant when they came to the restaurant for dinner.
As the two approached, Hollie glanced at Jane and smiled at Martha.
"Martha, you must be here for dinner. Why don't we sit together?"
As soon as she said this, Joann, standing next to her, put on an unhappy and angry face, "I don't want to eat with them together. Since we cannot get their respect, why should we even eat with them?"
When Jane heard this, her head was down and her face turned pale.
Knowing that Hollie and Joann were playing "good cop, bad cop", Martha, who was sitting across from Jane, changed color.
Then, she heard Hollie's gentle voice again.
"Joann, forget it. She's just an ignorant assistant. Besides... you have hit her and I'm sure she has learned her lesson, right?"
Jane heard this and didn't want to get into more trouble. She had to answer, "Of course."
Joann smiled triumphantly at Jane.
Martha looked at them with a cold look in her eyes.
"Lesson? What lesson?"
To be led by the nose by others?
Joann smiled, looked at Martha and said, "Mrs. Harrison, you don't know how ignorant your assistant is. I kindly asked her to give me a glass of water, but she said that she was your assistant and she didn't follow others' instructions. Mrs. Harrison, your assistant is really arrogant, isn't she?"
"I indulge her. You have a problem?" Martha glanced at Joann who was bossy and said frigidly.
When Joann heard this, she was stunned and could not think of anything to refute her.
Standing aside and watching Joann's speechless look, Hollie thought Joann was too useless.
But in this case, they couldn't fall out with Martha.
She could only act as a peacemaker, smiled and said, "Forget it. We are all friends and this is just a small episode. Let the past be the past."
Friends?
Martha heard this and there was slyness in her eyes,
Since Hollie, the angelic bitch, had said this, she should take advantage of it.
She arched her eyebrows and nodded, indicating her approval of Hollie's words. "You are right, since we are friends... I'm thirsty now, go give me a cup of coffee, will you?"
When Jane heard Martha, she immediately got up to pour coffee.
However, Martha said, "I was asking her, not you."
Martha swept a cold glance at Joann. The implication was obvious.
Hollie and Jane followed Martha's gaze and saw Joann's livid face.
Her hands at her both sides were clenched into fists and she was obviously very angry.
It was a public place, and Martha humiliated her like this in public?
But she could do nothing about this. After all, she could came to this island with Hollie's help, and she dared not to fall out with Martha for now.
Joann suppressed her unhappiness.
"Mrs. Harrison, this is a restaurant. If you want coffee, you can ask a waiter."
"I want you to get me one, can't I?"
Martha gently smiled, looking at Joann with indifference.
'Jane is my assistant. Who gave Joann the gall to bully my assistant?'
