Shane’s expression changed, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
The assistant was shaking from the scare. She heard the former roar, “Get over here!”
Her knees went weak. She could not even stand straight while holding onto the table, let alone walk to them.
“M-Mr. Campbell…” The assistant’s face turned pale. She looked at Cordelia blankly.
She could not believe that the person she mocked came from such a powerful background.
Even Mr. Smith was respectful to her!
“What the hell did you say?” Shane scolded fiercely.
“I-I didn’t—”
“How dare you talk back!?” Shane glared fiercely at her. “What did Neil do right to be starting from nothing to who he is now? He has never put on airs, even though he’s the best actor! He’d never look down on anyone!
“I can’t believe he hired such a person like you! This is just scary…”
“That’s right.” Mr. Smith chuckled. “We’re lucky that it’s Ms. Jenner that’s here. If it were some other reporter, we’d be in trouble!”
Shane was drenched in a cold sweat.
He had been working in entertainment with Neil for years. He knew how powerful the media could be.
These reporters could lift someone to the clouds, but they could also crush a person into hell!
“I’m so sorry, Ms. Jenner!” The assistant, who had been high and mighty, suddenly became humble now. She rushed to Cordelia and kept bowing to her.
“I was blind to not know who you are! Give me a chance to change!”
“Even if I do, I’m afraid Neil won’t.” Cordelia looked at her helplessly. “I’m sorry, I’m not a saint. Also, I’m a little petty. I just want to do my job, but your terrible comments made me uncomfortable.
