Marlee softly pulled her aside and whispered, “Be patient. She won’t be smug for long.”
Alondra looked at her doubtfully but noticed her confident expression, so she somewhat eased her anger over not being defended.
“I have other things to do. We don’t need to eat together.”
Keira said, looking up at him with a neutral gaze, as if he were a stranger.
Andres felt a pang in his heart but quickly composed himself.
He knew he had hurt Keira; it was his fault.
If she wanted to punish him, he thought it was fair.
He noticed Marlee wisely leading Alondra away.
Andres tried to speak gently, as he once would to calm her when she was moody.
“Kiki, I get that you’re upset. If you don’t want to eat with me, I won’t push it. But can you talk to me without being so cold? Please, I’m truly upset.”
He dropped his gaze, looking sincerely sad.
Keira looked up at him, her skin alluring and tempting, making him want to touch her.
For the first time, Andres felt unsure about how to appease her.
“I know Alondra often treats you unfairly and makes unreasonable demands, and today I helped you settle the score. I promise, from now on, she won’t dare to cause you trouble again, okay?”
Hearing his slightly self-satisfied tone, Keira couldn’t help but find it hilarious.
He had been aware of the issue and could have intervened sooner. Besides, it was his family’s matter, and as her boyfriend, he should have protected her from the start.
Yet, for so long, he had done nothing. He had always watched helplessly as his family deliberately gave
her a hard time, and afterward, he would find ways to appease her.
She had managed to coexist with Alondra because she chose not to hold grudges, not because of anything Andres had done.
Now, he actually had the audacity to claim credit for this.
It was as if he had accomplished something extraordinary, which was ridiculous.
scoff,”She’s
Keira couldn’t help but let out a soft scoff, “She’s your sister. You’re protecting your own pride, Andres, not helping me settle scores.”

Andres froze, looking at her, as if he couldn’t quite grasp what she had just said.
“Kiki, I’m trying to help…”
“Andres,” Keira interrupted, her brows knitting tightly, her eyes cold. She had no intention of continuing this conversation.
“Think what you want, but this is no longer my problem,” she said, turning away.
Her words-“It’s no longer my problem”-hit him like a punch in the gut. He felt a sharp sting in
his chest.
He chased after her, unwilling to give up.”Fine, if you say I’m not helping, then I’m not.”
“I’ll do whatever you want,” he added, his voice dripping with resignation.
“I’ve already made space for you as my agent. Just hang on a little longer. Once your assistant director duties are done, I’ll talk to the company and get you back on my team. You’ll be my agent again, alright?”
