Someone said, “I feel the same way. It's just too strange.”
Then, another said, “But Mr. Charlie still calls her 'Boss'!”
The conversations between these people fell into the ears of Chloe and Brianna, the mentor and the mentee. The two could not help but feel as if they were mocked. Then, the two women looked at each other simultaneously, and their eyes were filled with intense hatred. After that, Brianna held Chloe tightly.
“Professor Yeatman, I must let my mother help me take revenge.”
“Brianna, you've been wronged. It's my fault for not protecting you well enough...”
Chloe sobbed uncontrollably as she added, “It's all because I'm too incompetent.”
“No, it's not your fault. The one at fault is Ashlyn.” Brianna stared intently at the closed elevator doors, and hatred filled her eyes.
“In all my life, this is the first time someone has threatened me like this. When she was choking my neck, I thought I was going to die for a moment there!”
“Brianna, don't say anymore. Forget all those unpleasant memories, all right?” Then, Chloe hugged Brianna tightly.
“Let's go, I'll take you away from here.” Finnick did not want to offend Chloe either, so he walked over with an apologetic expression on his face.
“I'm sorry, I didn't expect Ashlyn to actually pull it off.”
“Finnick... Forget it, there's no need to mention her again.”
Chloe's face turned ashen, as she had never been so brutally humiliated since she became famous. It should be said that no one has ever dared to humiliate her before. She was embarrassed there that day, but she would definitely make a comeback in the future.
Moreover, she was determined to show Ashlyn who was the boss and make the latter understand what it truly meant to be a big shot. Ashlyn and Lucas went straight back to the hotel. Trevor personally drove them to the hotel entrance. Charlie had something to say to Ashlyn, and upon seeing Lucas' darkened face, Charlie could not help but want to speak even more.
