Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 502

"What are you doing?"

Aster stood there holding a glass of water, staring at them in surprise.

"Don't mind them, just keep moving."

Finally, Aster noticed a short-haired woman of small stature sitting on a nearby chair.

She was none other than Shania Mayton, one of Evelina's assistants.

Shania was also Evelina's second cousin, with an older sister named Jenny Mayton.

Shania stood up from the chair and cast a disdainful look at Aster, who was still holding her water glass.

"Who are you?" Shania asked.

Aster frowned and asked, "Who are you? Who gave you the right to boss people around in Ms. White's lounge? Where are you taking the water dispenser?"

Shania let out a cold snort. Her tone was haughty, "I'm Evie's assistant!"

Evie?

Who's Evie?

Aster thought for a moment, then realized she must be talking about Evelina.

How typical of this family-run team! In this industry, assistants usually refer to their artists as "Ms. or Mr. So-and-so" out of respect.

But Shania? She just went with Evie as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Not only did she lack respect, but she made it seem like she was the big star herself.

What an oddball.

Trying to stay patient, Aster asked, "You're Evelina's assistant. What are you doing in Ms. White's lounge?"

Shania responded, "There's a broken water dispenser next door. My sister told me to come over and get this."

Aster tightened her grip on the glass, trying her best to hold back. In the end, she couldn't.

"Are you out of your mind? What's wrong with you? You come in here without saying a word and start taking our water dispenser—where do you think this is? Your family's house? Put the dispenser down and get out of here!"

The two individuals operating the water dispenser instantly froze.

After being scolded, Shania was fuming, and she flared her nostrils like an angry bull. She asked, "What did you say? Who do you think you're telling to leave? You should be the one leaving! This lounge will belong to Evie soon. Who do you think you are, telling us to get out?"

In all her years in the industry, Aster had never encountered such a rude assistant.
