Without waiting for Suzanne to reply, Yana shouted, "She hit me! Someone get her out of here!"
Both receptionists broke out in a cold sweat.
When the security personnel heard Yana's cries, they ran over to her. Looking at her, they asked, "Who was it? Who hit you?"
Those who witnessed this debacle widened their eyes in shock.
Yana was tenacious, indeed!
Having been admonished by Yana earlier, they did not dare to say anything else. They simply grumbled in their private group chats.
Mabel Owens: "Who do you think will be the winner?"
Alex Zeller: "Neither of them is a good person. It'd be best if they both lose."
Hannah Brown: "The fact that Suzanne managed to seduce a movie star shows that she does have some tricks up her sleeve."
Just as they were chatting away in their group chat, someone shouted, "Mr. Alvarez is here!"
Everyone looked toward the elevator.
Alan, wearing a branded suit, strode in their direction. He scanned the crowd with a frosty gaze before finally fixing his eyes on Suzanne, who was sitting on the couch in the lounge.
The arrogant look on Yana's face vanished. Instead, she walked over toward Alan, looking completely miserable. She complained, "Alan, this woman pushed me around!"
The inquisitive employees glanced over at Alan.
Yana was Alan's wife-to-be. Everyone looked forward to seeing how Alan was going to teach Suzanne a lesson for stepping all over Yana.
Nevertheless, just as Yana's hand was about to come into contact with Alan's arm, he dodged her. In a frigid tone, he questioned, "What's with all this fuss you're making?"
Feeling anxious, Yana pointed at Suzanne. "Alan, she was going to hit me. Look, she gripped my wrist so tightly that it turned red.
She rolled her sleeve up to reveal her wrist that had turned red after Suzanne held her back earlier.
However, Alan simply took a brief look before saying to her with a displeased expression on her face, "Yana, this is my workplace. You shouldn't be making a fuss here. Leave!"
