With an apologetic smile on her face, Lily said, "I'm sorry. I got something to do. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
With a smile, Leila led the way, and Lily sat down opposite her. Then Lily took the topic to the point without saying other superfluous words.
"I came to you today to carry out the plan ahead of schedule."
Leila raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you want to do it in advance?"
Lily glanced at Leila and took out the phone. She found today's headline of entertainment news. Then she handed the phone to Leila and said, "Leila, as you can see, the headlines of entertainment news in recent days are all about Bertha. Although some small things were involved, it is also a publicity for her. If things go on like this, I'm afraid I won't have any chance to fight back before I make a move."
Leila understood. She turned to look at the screen and saw a bright smile on the screen of Lily's phone. Bertha looked pretty, but she was a bit coquettish in her demeanor. Maybe this was the so-called indecent demeanor.
Having known Lily's intention, Leila didn't hesitate but said, "Since you are so eager, why should I refuse?"
Hearing her words, Lily breathed a sigh of relief. Lily smiled at her and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Leila."
Leila smiled but said nothing. She was thinking about how to let Bertha be hooked.
‘After the last incident, she's already wary of me. I'm afraid it's difficult to succeed this time.’ Leila thought.
After saying goodbye to Lily, Leila went back to the company. The air in the office was quite cold. When Tansy saw Leila, she nodded slightly with a touch of timidity in her eyes, which had nothing to do with her character. Perhaps Tansy was scared by what happened today! Perhaps she hasn't thought that the innocent Miss Leila on the surface would actually have such means.
After calming herself down, Leila began to think about the appointment she made with Lily. When she was at her wit's end, she got a call from Bertha. It was just as the saying goes that one could find her way at any time.
There was someone, and there was something that would come to her before she took any action.
Bertha sounded anxious on the phone, "Leila, you are so despicable!"
Hearing this, Leila raised her eyebrows. ‘I haven't done anything yet. How could I be so despicable?’ Her puzzle was answered by Bertha's next sentence.
"By taking advantage of the love you get from Max, you frame me up. What else can you do except for relying on men?"
Leila was unhappy to hear that. Obviously, Bertha relied on men. Although Leila also relied on Max at present, Bertha was not qualified to say this to her!
