Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 730

Hermione felt her anger ignite upon seeing the impatient look on Yelena's face. "I'm seriously posing you a question here! So, what's with that attitude, huh?"

"Come on, Hermione, do you have to stick your nose into everyone's business? Are you out of your mind? I said I wanted to change clothes! Don't you understand what I said?" Yelena showed no mercy, unleashing a barrage of words that left Hermione too intimidated to respond.

After she said her piece, she glanced around, and those who had been grinning and enjoying the spectacle instantly wiped the grins off their faces. In fact, they even turned their faces away as though they hadn't witnessed this scene. "What are all of you doing? Don't you have your own things to do? If you're so bored, get off your *sses and find a class to attend. Why are you even here? Do all of you have sh*t for brains?"

Yelena was generally not good-tempered, but she had never erupted in such a way. Thus, she had definitely never been so caustic with her words.

A girl nearby immediately stepped forward to play peacemaker when she saw that the situation was spiraling out of control. "Don't be angry, Miss Sullivan. They're being a bunch of busybodies because they didn't know any better. Can you please forgive them and don't take this to heart?"

Yelena silenced her with a cold glare.

Hermione, who had been standing assertively before her just a moment ago, felt her legs weakening as she took a few steps to the side.

Yelena decided not to continue her angry tirade when she saw Hermione finally knowing her place. As she walked past Hermione, she even bumped into her with considerable strength, leaving Hermione wincing in pain.

Regardless, Hermione didn't dare to say anything after what had happened, fearing that she might inadvertently offend this bigwig again. In the end, all she could do was watch Yelena enter the dressing room.

Just then, a girl who was on relatively good terms with her discreetly approached her and patted her on the shoulder. "Miss Loquat, I just recorded a video. Would you like to take a look?"

Hermione was initially puzzled as to what she meant, but when she saw the video's contents, she immediately pursed her lips and smiled. "You always seem so innocent, little girl. I didn't expect you to be so sly," she praised. "Alright, send me the video. You'll definitely be rewarded for this."

The girl had resented Yelena for a long time. So, she nodded obediently at Hermione's words. "Rest assured, Miss Loquat. I'll still send you the video even if you didn't reward me."

Hermione looked at the dressing room as a sneer formed on her lips. Yelena, you've been so arrogant and bossy all this time. Let's see how you'll turn the tables now.

…

Yelena didn't have too many jobs for the day. Thus, she was taken aside to take a break after posing for a few posters.

This made the people around her envious beyond words. She could become a sensation even with just a few pictures! God knows why she is so lucky to have such great fame.

Yelena dully scrolled through her phone while the makeup artist was touching up her makeup.

Little did she know that she would be in for a shock. Somehow, the video of her angry confrontation with Hermione in the company's lobby that morning had made its way onto the internet.

As she carefully watched the video, she quickly realized that the person who shot the video had cleverly obscured Hermione's face, only revealing her own furious expression. From this angle, it seemed like she was throwing a tantrum. Meanwhile, Hermione was an innocent actress who was being bullied by her.

It seemed that the person who shot the video had only one purpose in mind. What was even more amusing was that the video had been edited to intentionally amplify her voice a million times over, making her seem even more fierce and intimidating.

How ridiculous, she thought that this incident wouldn't stir up much trouble, so she put her phone away and continued with her photoshoot. My public relations team will handle this, anyway.

After she finished the afternoon photo session, she picked up her phone again. Alas, contrary to her expectations, the public relations team hadn't taken down her photos. In fact, the situation had escalated, and the incident even climbed to the top of the list of trending topics.

Yelena instantly felt a headache coming on. She even started thinking she might need to consider changing her public relations team. It was with this thought in mind that she called Timothy, who was on vacation abroad and was startled to hear about such a thing. "Oh, you little troublemaker! I was only gone for a couple of days, and yet you've already caused such a big fuss."

"Yeah, sure. But why didn't the public relations team deal with this promptly?"

Timothy calmly took a sip of his fruit juice and took out his phone to check out what was going on. He truly didn't expect the situation to be so serious. When he saw that it was worse than he had thought, he put down his fruit juice right away, saying, "Don't worry for now. Let me call the public relations team to ask about the situation."

Yelena hung up the phone. A moment later, Timothy called her back, saying, "I've just asked about it, and the public relations team says this is kind of tricky. For some reason, the official statement they posted seems to have been maliciously deleted."

Yelena wasn't an idiot, so she instantly figured out who was behind all this. It was obvious that this was orchestrated by certain individuals within the company. They're too scared to confront me openly, so they're resorting to underhanded tactics, huh?

Yelena curled her lips into a cold smirk and went straight to Hermione at the company.

Hermione had just made a cup of coffee and was about to savor the last moments before leaving work. When she saw Yelena approaching in an intimidating manner, she wasn't particularly concerned. Instead, she drawled, "What's the matter? What do you want with me this time?"

Yelena didn't bother beating around the bush. Instead, she went straight to the point, asking, "Did you do this?"

Hermione's eyes widened in disbelief at her words. "What do you mean by that? Are you slinging mud at me for whatever happened to you?"

"You know in your heart whether I'm slandering you."

Hermione calmly took out her phone and read through the top news article. "No wonder our top celebrity here is so angry. It turns out a major scandal of yours has been exposed. Let me take a look… Tsk, tsk. Yelena, what do they call this? You're hoisted by your own petard." She locked her phone and looked at Yelena nonchalantly.

"I hope that you can smile later as happily as you are now."

Hermione nodded casually after hearing Yelena's threat and mused, "It's not like this video is wrong by any means. You did confront me this morning. Now that it's been dug up and criticized on the internet, why are you acting so high and mighty?"

Yelena picked up the coffee next to her and smashed it onto the floor, causing the drink to splatter all over Hermione.

"Ah!" Hermione shrieked as she had just brewed the coffee, so it was still hot.
