Abbie shook her head weakly and said, “How would I know? Perhaps he drank too much, or maybe he pretended to be drunk so that I would feel sorry for him. Either way, I didn’t care about him and played my game with my headphones for the entire night. Urgh! If this continues, I’ll end up wasting too much time here. So, I’ve decided to move out of here!”
What? Abbie was thinking about moving back to Richard’s place to evade Michael! However, Valeria knew her very well. Abbie insisted on living on her own previously as she did not want to stick around with Richard, so she chuckled and said, “Haha! Aren’t you worried about your brother controlling you?”
“Well, that sounds better than being harassed by that b*stard, right? Ah! I’m so annoyed by Michael! How can he be such a shameless playboy?”
Abbie was about to raise her cup to drink some water when her phone rang. However, she hung up the call immediately after glancing at the name on the phone. “Why is Azalea calling me again? Is that b*tch insane?”
While she scolded and cursed, Azalea called her again.
Abbie couldn’t bear it and immediately blocked her. Then, she sighed when the surroundings became silent and said, “Did I offend these two b*tches in the past? Why do they torment me like this? I’m so done! I’ll sleep in your company’s lounge after dinner tonight. Otherwise, I don’t think that I can take this anymore!”
Valeria immediately agreed and said, “Alright, sure. You can go with me to the company and rest there after this.”
They chatted for a while before the servers started sending in the food that they ordered. Abbie had no time to complain anymore as she was hungry, so she began to eat her favorite sashimi. However, Valeria disliked raw food and was more interested in roasted potatoes and chicken kebabs. Thus, they began to enjoy their food happily.
Suddenly, someone opened that door, and an annoying voice sounded, “Abbie, are you here? Heh. It took me a lot of effort to find you.”
Abbie didn’t raise her head and said, “Get out!”
Of course, Azalea ignored her and strode into the room without shame, “Abbie, why didn’t you pick up your calls? Something happened to Michael!”
After seeing how stunned Abbie was to hear that Michael was in trouble, Azalea continued, “He was upset because you were ignoring him last night, so he drank a lot of alcohol. Abbie, how could you be so merciless and ignore him like that? He’s vomiting blood right now!”
Abbie raised her head and turned to look at Azalea after hearing this. “Heh. Why don’t you bring him to the hospital instead of coming to look for me then? I’m not a doctor, so I can’t help you, right?”
“He spat out blood because of you! Abbie, I’m sorry! It’s… it’s all my fault. Michael really has nothing to do with me. Although we’ve engaged, it’s not what he wants. He loves you…”
“Stop!” Valeria interrupted Azalea coldly. “Look, Azalea, are you here to interrupt our meal? Your presence is disgusting me!”
“Miss Brown! No, I… I mean Miss Saunders. I came here to persuade Abbie so that she would go and see Michael. Sorry, as long as she is willing to do so, I will never disturb you again!”
Valeria was furious when she saw Azalea’s innocent expression. “Heh. Michael? I heard you were about to break up with him, so why are you addressing him so familiarly? You all should register your marriage instead of trying to show off here!”
“I’m not…”
“Stop. Don’t waste your breath explaining anything. Besides, Abbie and I know your personality clearly. B*tches like you can only win over playboys like Michael, and we don’t be deceived by your innocent facade!”
“Miss Brown, why are you so rude? After all, you’re one of our…”
Before Azalea could finish the last word, Abbie lifted the juice and poured it all over her face. “Hah! Michael is a playboy, so I don’t need someone like him! Stop showing your face in front of me and get lost now! If not, you’ll have to suffer the consequences for offending me!”
However, Azalea was not angry even though Abbie had poured juice all over her. Instead, she wiped the juice covering her face and said calmly, “Abbie, I’m really doing this for your own good. Don’t worry! After we finish filming this movie, I’ll make sure to announce to the public that I’m supporting you and Michael’s relationship!”
“Didn’t I tell you to get lost?” Valeria was furious! Azalea was planning to support their relationship? What nonsense! She had come here today to provoke Abbie, not persuade her!
After all, Azalea was merely a b*tch that was trying to put on an innocent facade to provoke Abbie. In fact, Valeria had experience dealing with people like her as Paisley used to do the same thing.
Valeria was enraged, and she threw the soy sauce at Azalea’s face. “Hey! I’m warning you. Get lost now, or I’ll make sure that you’ll never survive in the film industry! I’ll get everyone to blacklist you!”
“What? How could you take advantage of your power to bully others?” Azalea wiped the soy sauce on her face. She dared to come to Abbie because she knew that Abbie and Michael had hidden their relationship from Richard.
Thus, if Richard didn’t know about this, Abbie could not get help from him. Thus, she wasn’t afraid of Abbie right now! However, she never expected that Valeria would help her instead.
In the past, Azalea could ignore Valeria, but the circumstances were different now. She was the daughter of the Saunders family, so the Saunders family could ruin her entire career if she offended them!
Although Azalea had come here all dressed up to provoke Abbie, after some deliberation, she left resentfully so that she could maintain her image as a celebrity.
However, she never expected to end up in such a miserable state. Her clothes were covered in split juice and soy sauce, and her makeup had been ruined too. She looked really pathetic right now!
Fortunately, she was wearing a hat, a mask, and a pair of sunglasses. So, no one could recognise her now.
She cursed secretly as she passed through the corridor and headed straight for the elevator. Suddenly, she heard a voice calling her, “Miss Clark! Please wait!”
Azalea never expected to be recognised in public, so she thought that a paparazzi was following her, and she wanted to run away immediately. However, when she was about to do so, the voice called her out even louder, “Miss! My lady would like to meet you!”
“Your lady?” Azalea turned to look at the strange man in confusion.
“You should know her. She is Miss Talitha Anderson!”
Talitha and Azalea knew each other, but they had never interacted before. Thus, Azalea didn’t know why she was looking for her.
The man smiled when he saw her hesitation. “She is in this private room. Come with me.”
After hesitating for a moment, she finally followed him.
Azalea thought that Talitha was the only one in the private room, so she did not expect to see Paisley there too.
Talitha and Paisley glanced at each other when they saw the miserable state that Azalea was in. Then, Talitha said with a smile, “Please sit down, Miss Clark.”
“What can I do for you, Miss Anderson?” She did not sit down.
“Miss Clark, sit down. Let’s talk! Don’t be nervous, we just want to help you,” Talitha said with a smile.
“Huh? Why would you help me?”
“Maybe because I felt sorry for you? I saw you being bullied by Valeria just now. Why did she do that? Could you tell me, Miss Clark?” Talitha said patiently.
