Chapter 1158
Then, Chloe noticed that the lady next to Nicole was her previous assistant, Kelly.
"Why are you with them?" Chloe asked, shocked as she looked at Kelly.
Kelly did not respond as she did not know how to formulate a reply that would not piss Chloe off.
"I see. You're Nicole's assistant now, right?" Chloe guessed as she glanced over at Nicole.
Kelly offered a weak nod and remained silent.
"Seems like Jared hasn't been treating you that well, huh? Even your assistant is a leftover from me." Chloe looked at Nicole and mocked her.
She had belittled the both of them in a single sentence and was looking as smug as ever.
"That's rich, coming from a person who doesn't even deserve to have an assistant." Nicole looked around, but she did not see anyone else together with Chloe. "You're the last person who has the right to say that."
"Who doesn't deserve to have an assistant, you say?" Chloe retorted with a glare.
"You, obviously. Don't you have any self-awareness? Look around you. Is there anyone else who fits that bill?" Nicole said, her scathing remarks effectively hurting Chloe.
Indeed, Henry had fled the country and Kelly had resigned. Chloe was afraid that she would be dragged into this mess, so she quickly fled to another country, which was why she was eating alone.
Chloe was at a loss for words and could not find anything to say in response, so all she could do was glare at Nicole.
"Do you know that my assistant is unpacking my luggage back in the hotel? Do you think everyone would bring their assistant everywhere with them, just like you?" Chloe retaliated with a lie.
"You should look in the mirror. Aren't you the person who likes to bring their assistant everywhere with them?" Nicole asked, merciless in her attempt to back Chloe into a corner.
Harvey quickly changed the subject when he saw that they were fighting again. "We're almost done with our food, so it's about time we head to the theatre."
Nicole took a glance at him and said, "Let's go then. The environment here sucks, and I've had enough of it."
Nicole took the lead and stood up, followed by Harvey and Kelly.
However, Chloe had not had the last word, so she was determined not to let Nicole off the hook. "Harvey, are you going to watch a movie too?"
"Ah... yeah." Harvey glanced over at Nicole before responding to Chloe.
"Which movie?" Chloe asked. "Are you going too? You know, if you leave, I'm going to be really bored eating here on my own.
"Uh..."
"Why don't you stay here with me for a bit?" Chloe looked at Harvey with a wink and a smile.
"We're leaving now, so it's up to you if you wish to stay or come with us." Nicole saw that Harvey was stuck between a rock and a hard place, so she walked off on her own.
