“You!” When it came to retorting, this assistant was definitely no match for Annetta.
Just then,
“Isobel, what’s taking you so long?” Armani had come to look for his assistant.
His other three assistants were more like servants. He had asked Raelynn to help him find people to serve him on set.
Only the assistant in front of them, Isobel, worked for Elizabeth. She was the second-most-powerful person in the team.
Before Isobel could tell him anything, she heard Annetta say, “Armani, your little assistant here called you a cricket just now!”
Armani did not respond.
Working for Elizabeth, Isobel had done many bad things over the years. It was always her who bullied others, never the other way around.
Isobel had never been so speechless when she saw Annetta complain to Armani so shamelessly.
She pointed at Annetta with a trembling hand, “Armani! Don’t listen to this ugly freak’s nonsense. She’s the one who called you a cricket!”
“Me?” Annetta replied. “You were furious when I said ‘The Cricket’s lapdog’ just now. Others would think that Armani’s nickname really is ‘Cricket’!”
Armani had a natural loathing towards the word ‘Cricket’. He knew that he could not mess with Annetta, and Elizabeth had warned him not to provoke her. So, he held his temper.
He couldn’t provoke Annetta, so he vented his rage out on others. Raelynn was an easy target. He snapped, “Raelynn Wolf, look at you now, uniting with outsiders to bully me!”
Raelynn was anxious after being blamed for no reason. She quickly grabbed Armani’s arm and defended herself, “No, I didn’t… Armani, you’ve misunderstood.”
Annetta realized that Raelynn’s meek character could easily arouse people’s desire to bully her.
Sure enough, Armani yanked Raelynn’s arm away, sending her sprawling. He exerted so much force that Raelynn nearly collapsed.
Her delicate body would have definitely fallen over and gotten hurt if Annetta had not steadied her.
Armani felt repulsed when he saw Annetta. He rolled his eyes and snapped at Raelynn, “Don’t touch me in public! Are you deaf?”
“I’m sorry…”
Armani ignored her and said to Isobel, “Isobel, let’s go!”
“Army!” Raelynn stood there listlessly, watching Armani and Isobel leave.
“Are you alright?” Annetta asked.
Raelynn shook her head and thanked Annetta politely before leaving sadly.
When Armani stomped into the lounge, he saw Elizabeth sitting inside waiting for him.
Armani’s face softened. Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and asked, “What happened? Got caught in a storm? You both look as black as thunder.”
Isobel’s face changed when he saw Elizabeth. She walked to her side and ranted, “Elizabeth, we met Leo’s manager again. That ugly freak actually called our Armani a cricket! She’s so unprofessional.”
“Elizabeth, are you going to let Leo and his manager walk all over me?” Armani asked unhappily, “I’ve been avoiding the Internet the past few days. When I went online yesterday, there were thousands of comments chastising me.”
“What’s wrong with thousands of comments chastising you?” Elizabeth did not seem bothered at all. “Have you had more than thousands of comments on your Twitter before? Any form of publicity is good. Some even have to spend money to buy thousands of comments!”
Armani did not know what to say.
Elizabeth continued, “Annetta is just bullying you guys. I’ll see how she reacts when millions of keyboard warriors attack her.”
“Elizabeth, what do you mean?” Isobel quickly got the point.
“You’ll know when you go on Twitter.”
