The commanding tone of voice sounded familiar. When Irene looked up, she saw a woman who was slapped with a thick layer of makeup. "Isn't she Lily Cook's best friend, Freya Howard?" Irene thought.
Freya was momentarily stunned as well when she saw Irene. As Irene was dressed in work attire, Freya mistook her for a waitress and was startled when she found out it was Irene.-
"So it's you?"
However, Irene merely ignored her. But just when she was about to brush past Freya, Freya managed to recover from her shock and stopped her immediately, "Are you actually working as a waitress here? Haha, what a joke!"
"Is it that funny?" Irene asked coldly.
"Of course. You were so arrogant in the past, weren't you? Tsk tsk. To think that you would end up as a mere waitress. Every dog has its day. That's quite apt for your situation now, isn't it? Hurry up and get me something to eat!"
Freya appeared pleased with what she had just said. As Irene was beautiful, morally
upright and blessed with a good life, she had always been an eyesore for Freya.
Now that Irene was ditched by Edric and had ended up as a waitress, it was a perfect opportunity for Freya to humiliate her.
Irene was disgusted by the look on Freya's face but found it insulting to stoop down to Freya's level to argue with her. Thus, she simply made her way around Freya and strutted off.
Unwilling to let things slide, Freya yelled, "Irene, how dare you disobey me! I could get someone to fire you right away!"
"Fire me? Miss Howard, who the hell do you think you are?"
"How dare you insult me?" Freya yelled and jumped with rage. In the past, she could not do anything to Irene since she was Edric's wife and he had protected her like a precious treasure. But now, things were different. Without Edric, she was just a lowly waitress and destroying her would be as easy as killing an ant.
"I'll tell the person in charge here to fire you right away!"
"Freya, what happened?" a gentle voice interrupted.
"Lily, you're just in time. Look who we have here!" Freya pointed at Irene and mocked.
