"Robert!"
Lareal raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You haven't fixed it yet?"
"Well, I've been tied up with other stuff, or I wouldn't have asked for your help!" Ronald said with a shrug.
Lareal booted up the computer and looked at Ronald curiously. "What's up?"
Ronald explained, "It's about the boss's wife. It's a real headache, and I might need your help later on!"
"The boss' wife? When did Mr. Hoffman get married? Why didn't I hear about it?" Lareal's eyes sparkled with excitement.
...
Meanwhile, Winter stormed into her house, her rage causing a path of destruction and leaving the Shaw family's maids too frightened to show their faces. Only Lucy, the maid who always stuck by Winter's side, was left to tidy up the chaos.
Winter was fuming from the snub she received at the mall. She was the Shaw family's pride and joy, not to mention a famous star. Should people in town not be lining up to give her the time of day?
However, Charles had ignored her completely, and worse, he recognized that nobody, Noelle, instead of her. How could Winter stand it?
She was Winter Shaw—stunning, famous, and in possession of everything anyone could ever want. What did Noelle have? She was just a nobody, a low-level employee. What gave her the right to catch Charles' eye?
Winter's thoughts made her more and more upset. She stomped around the living room, knocking things over in a tantrum. She then dashed to her room. With a sweep of her arm, she knocked everything off her vanity, "Ugh, Noelle, you meanie!"
