Chapter 82 Keep Your Distance From Her
Silas was a touch surprised, for he’d thought that Marcus Cohen would utter a few imploring remarks. While he couldn’t have changed his mind, he had to answer the call for Gianna’s sake. I didn’t expect Marcus Cohen to be such a straightforward person that he gave his artist up without even asking what had transpired. The corners of his mouth lifted a fraction. “Sure. Let’s get together sometime.”
Marcus’ voice drifted out of the phone. “Okay. I’ll leave you to do your work first, then.”
The corners of Gianna’s mouth twitched unbidden. This cousin of mine is really smart. He’s making his stance clear to Silas Nolan when I’ve obviously related everything to him via WhatsApp. She deliberately had Luca make this call so that he would harbor no illusions. Metrostar Entertainment couldn’t possibly allow an artist of his character to stay since he’d started puffing up before even achieving anything much.
After hearing the exchange, Luca’s eyes rolled back into his head, and he almost passed out from fright. He persisted in apologizing while bowing. “President Nolan, I’m sorry. Ladies, I’m sorry. I’ve realized my wrongdoing now.”
Gianna threw him a placid glance and remarked indifferently, “How did Metrostar Entertainment produce such trash like you?” After saying that, she turned and looked at Silas. “President Nolan, since he has been fired by Metrostar Entertainment, he’s been suitably punished after all. So, let’s just drop it at this.”
“Is this even punishment? The two of you are fine only because he was impeded by the situation, not because he has repented and decided not to take it further,” Silas commented placidly.
Sighing, Gianna replied, “I know. If you hadn’t been here today, the ramifications might have been disastrous for me and Kate, but it’s tantamount to career suicide now that something like this happened to him at the height of his career. Thus, I don’t want to pursue this matter further.” Harriet was also a tad worried. While she hadn’t raised a hand against them, her attitude earlier was one of retaliation, so it was a matter of a word from Silas if he wanted payback from her. Hence, she promptly said to Gianna, “Miss Aubrey, I’m really sorry. I mistakenly took Luca’s words for the truth and thought that he was bullied. I then wanted to retaliate on his behalf without having understood the truth, so I owe you an apology as well.” Looking at her, Gianna took a deep breath. “As I said, we both wanted to retaliate on behalf of our friends, so I don’t mind. I just have a kind reminder for you-not everyone is worthy to be considered a friend. Some people aren’t deserving of your kindness!”
Harriet nodded, “You’re right. I still need to improve my judgment of others,” she hurriedly replied. Gianna inclined her head slightly without saying anything further.
Silas glanced at Luca, who appeared to be a lamb awaiting slaughter, his gaze blank and helpless. “I’ll let you off this time for Miss Aubrey’s sake, but keep your distance from her in future.”
Almost bursting into tears from the immense joy, Luca bowed low to him as though he’d been granted amnesty. “Thank you, President Nolan! Thank you, ladies!” Aleena, who’d witnessed the entire debacle from a corner, gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. Why is there such a big difference in his attitude? I wanted to sit with him, but he disdained me. When Gianna Aubrey went over, however, he promptly called her over to have a seat and even helped to avenge her, getting into a snit for her sake. Why?! like him so much! How am I inferior to her? Her nails unconsciously dug into her flesh, but she didn’t feel any pain, her eyes brimming with undisguised hatred. “Aleena, who’s that woman? Why does Silas seem so protective of her?” The woman beside her stared at them in bafflement.
Aleena snorted. “Protective? Not at all. She just knows some medical skills and happened to have saved Silas’s grandfather, so Silas regards her quite highly.”
“No matter the reason, there’ll be sparks if she keeps putting herself into Silas’s path, so you can’t just sit around and do nothing,” the woman urged.
