Both of them were caught off guard by how suddenly things changed. The manager was the most confused When he arrived at work today, his boss had specifically told him to take good care of Leonie.

He was also told Herbert was her backer, and that getting close to her was as good as getting in with the entire Fortun family. With connections like that, he was sure he would have a bright future ahead.

The boss had even hinted that Leonie might be the future young lady of the Norman family. That was why day the scent they with such care.

But now, everything flipped. He still couldn’t figure out who he had offended. Furthermore, who’s that woman who sused Leonie into the pool? One phone call was all it took to get two people fired, the manager wondered.

With everything happening so fast, they didn’t have time to think in detail. They rushed over to plead with Aurefica and in for help. Their attitude shifted in an instant.

“Miss Turner, I’m really sorry. There must be some misunderstanding between us. Could you please put in a good word five me with my boss? If I lose my job at my age, I’m done for,” the manager said, completely dropping his earlier arrogate

The director wasn’t any better. “Miss Turner, we’ve worked together so many times. Please, just give me another chance the director pleaded, clasping his hands together in front of his chest, practically begging Mia.

Mia merely asked the brand manager, “Did you sign Leonie yourself, or did someone else push her into the deal

The manager stammered for a while before finally saying, “Mr. Norman’s assistant approached our boss about it.”

So isn’t it all Herbert’s idea, Mia thought. She had told him before that this brand meant something special to her. But mowe what happened?‘ Mia thought bitterly.

He turned around and brought Leonie in as a spokesperson, giving her a higher title than Mia, who had been the face of the brand for four years. Leonie was suddenly made the global spokesperson.

They also rewrote the whole script, handing all the best parts to Leonie. Mia was reduced to nothing but a prop, like sunse joke in the background.

“We already told you the pool water needs to be kept at a constant temperature, Aurelia said, her tone sharp as sõne reprimanded the two.

The director quickly tried to shift the blame. “It’s not my fault! Miss Avalos claimed she’s sensitive to water insawrature lately and insisted the pool stay cold.”

Just as Aurelia was about to say further, Mia gently pulled her back. “Aurelia, it’s fine. I’ll be right back”

In truth, there were some things she couldn’t interfere with as an outsider. Perhaps it’s better to let them talk things out in private, Aurelia thought. Only then did Aurelia let go, allowing Herbert to take Mia away.

When they reached the emergency stairs, Mia yanked her hand out of his grip, annoyance clear on her fare rost spot it a

Herbert’s tone was accusative. “Mia, if you’ve got a problem, take it out on me. There’s no reason to drag Lennie was j

Mia’s calmness in the past completely vanished with Herbert’s words. She couldn’t hold it together anymore So I’m the one making things hard for her? Is that what she told you?”

‘She didn’t say anything at all,” Herbert replied, still pressing her. “That was just my own guess.”

Mia looked at him for a while before she finally managed to speak. “If she’s going to act all innocent and keep p it out for you then.

‘She snatched my role and my endorsement. She was the one who had the pool heater shut off. She kept mewing up the scenes, so I had to stay in that freezing water continuously.

You know how cold that pool was? You felt it yourself when you jumped in to save her. But I was stuck in there for fifty whole minutes!”

Mia spoke deliberately, not blaming anyone, but just trying to defend herself. She couldn’t even describe the pain she felt. It was like her heart was riddled with holes, bleeding out with every beat.

“Enough!” Herbert cut her off impatiently. “Leonie missed out on so many jobs because of you. She barely managed to land this shampoo endorsement!”

Mia opened her mouth, with all her pent–up frustration, but in the end, she just gave a faint, bitter smile. Right then, she finally understood what Aurelia had meant when she told her that.

Keeping silent in that moment was the last way to protect herself. Silence didn’t mean she had no emotions, it meant she knew that speaking any further would be meaningless. Long–winded explanations are always for the losers, she thought to herself.

If that’s what you think, fine,” Mia said.

I hope this is the last time!” Herbert warned her, his tone sharp. “If it happens again, don’t blame me for ignoring the bad between husband and wife.”

The bond between husband and wife? Is there even such a thing between us? Mia wondered, her heart feeling hum
