"Hey, why are you just standing there?"
Hannah turned around and looked at Aurelia coldly. "You're new here? Don't you know how to serve tea and snacks?"
Aurelia calmed her thumping heart and turned to go to the kitchen for that. She kept her head lowered purposely to prevent Hannah from seeing her.
Hannah rolled her eyes at Aurelia but felt strange about the latter's long chestnut-colored hair the moment she turned around.
Hannah froze but went on and ran into Cordelia, who had just come out.
"Oh, Cordelia!"
Cordelia nodded in greeting and smiled perfunctorily.
"What brings you here, Aunt Hannah?"
"Look at you! Can't I visit if there's nothing on?"
Cordelia winced. What was it that people said? One would always curry favor with hidden intentions.
"Cordelia, I see you're getting further along now. Walking and stuff aren't too convenient now, huh?" Hannah wanted to go up and hold Cordelia's arm, but Cordelia avoided it discreetly.
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Hannah. I'm fine."
Hannah felt embarrassed, but she recalled that she was not here to simply greet Cordelia today, and her tone hardened.
"Cordelia, you heard about what happened in the board meeting? Heh… Our Ava has finally succeeded!
"Oh yeah, I heard that you and Ms. Lulham are good friends? She personally rejected our Ava the last time!
"Please, do let her know to teach Ava well when they shoot next time!"
Cordelia looked at her and deeply understood what it looked like for a despicable person to be victorious.
"Yes, Aunt Hannah! Ava's talented and beautiful. It's deserving that she gets the role of the female lead.
