She nods to excuse for her leave and walks towards the parking lot.
These paparazzies make no plan to let her go so easily. One of them drags her upon her leaving!
Macy Downey is about to walk down the stairs but she gets off balance and falls on the ground directly. Her ankle feels fiery.
This situation shocks the reporters around her.
That paparazzi who dragged her looks at Macy and shrugs, “You all have seen it. It’s her who lost her balance. It has nothing to do with me.”
Macy doesn’t say anything but slightly purses her lips. She supports herself with her hands to stand up. Her blood oozes from her wound on the ankle. She gasps. Her fair skin makes a great contrast with the gruesome wound.
She resists her pain and goes back to the car. She leaves directly.
Those reporters are all staying where they were. After a while, someone conspues, “Such a thick-skinned woman. She is still in her vanity and treats herself as a rich princess. What is the point of faking when she will be bankrupting tomorrow?”
Inside the Penn’s Tower, Yusef Penn is standing by the glass windows in the hall and watches everything happening outside indifferently. His indifferent expression is difficult to be figured out.
It’s not until he sees Macy leave that he orders, “Drive away those people outside.”
“Alright. Boss.”
…
Macy leaves for the Downey’s directly from the Penn’s.
At present, there are not many employees left in the company but a few loyal experienced ones who have followed Mr. Downey, Macy’s father, for a long time, and Sunny is one of them.
Mason Zach is a well-known new money. His wealth could not hide the fact that he is poorly educated, nasty and has a strong lust for women. Who knows what will happen to Macy if she meets him?
Macy certainly understands Sunny’s concern. She insists only because the Downey’s and herself are in the hopeless situation and she doesn’t want to miss this chance.
The bitterness her heart feels is so strong that Macy can’t distinguish if she is comforting Sunny or herself, “It’s okay. We have been in the worst scenario. It can’t be worse. Don’t worry, I’ve got it.”
“But…”
“Take it easy Sunny. I know you worry about me, but I am not afraid of anything at this moment.”
It’s bound to be a difficult decision to have connection with Manson Zach, but there is no way around it.
