Chapter 24 I Won’t Go Easy on You Either!
Hahaha. Was Julia attempting to kill them with laughter?
Elena’s face changed in an instant. There was anger, grievance, and fury!
Even now, Claire’s mere assistant dared to mock her like this!
She looked so furious and took a deep breath while lowering her hand from her chest. Now, she was standing proudly. “All of my assets are natural. There is
no silicone in there!”
“Oh, really?” Julia glanced at her and calmly turned away. Then, she walked over to Claire and took a seat beside her.
She cast a glance at Sean and left Elena thoroughly flabbergasted.
“Hehe. Claire, how did I do just now?” she asked and leaned very close to Claire’s ear.
Claire gave her a thumbs-up from beneath the table. “Incredible! You completely embarrassed her!”
“Of course!” Julia smiled confidently and shook her head. “You see, I called her out. Hehe.”
Then, she extended her hand toward Sean and proactively introduced herself. “Hello, Mr. Vanderbilt. I’m Julia Sanders. I work as Claire’s assistant.”
The people at the table’s eyes widened. They didn’t dare to shake Sean’s hand as they approached him. After all, who was Sean?
He stood at the very top of the pyramid and didn’t need to please anybody.
What if they offered their hand, and Sean turned it down? That would be embarrassing, wouldn’t it?
They did not want to end up like Elena.
Julia was a brave character!
Sean softly chuckled just when everyone believed Julia was about to be snubbec His thin fingers lightly gripped Julia’s fingertip as he said, “Hello, it’s
a pleasure to meet you.”
Julia’s face flushed with delight even though only a piece of her finger was held by Sean. She withdrew her fingers swiftly and smiled as she clung to Claire’s arm. “Claire, Mr. Vanderbilt is so nice, and he’s so handsome!”
Elena witnessed this scene as she returned to her seat. Her eyes filled with jealousy.
Julia had the chance to shake Sean’s hand. But Sean didn’t even look at her from beginning to end!
Why?
What gave her the right?
All of the people at Elena’s table were minor characters.
Elena had already upset the second and third female leads. Her attitude had increased, especially since it became evident that Sean was interested in her. She completely ignored them.
Previously, Elena had only ordered Julia around. But later, she began collecting them as well. She had them fetch coffee and snacks, even refusing to pay!
The two women exchanged a glance and then burst into mocking laughter.
“Oh my goodness, having a good relationship with Ms. Lawrence makes such a difference! You can sit next to Mr. Vanderbilt and shake his hand. How
lucky!”
The second female lead finished speaking, and her eyes openly scrutinized Elena, “It made me jealous!”
Elena’s lips clenched sharply in response to their sarcastic tone.
In the past, she would have undoubtedly put these women mocking her in their place. But she had to control her rage now.
Seeing that Elena was only angry and hadn’t retaliated, the third female lead covered her mouth and chuckled, “Indeed, so envious. But we’re well aware of our appearances. We know we’re not drop-dead gorgeous and don’t have that kind of luck. So we’ll watch from afar, unlike some people …”
She paused for a moment, and her gaze also shifted toward Elena. “Who would believe that a bit of fame makes them the most beautiful woman in the world and every man on earth will love her? Tsk tsk. Did you get slapped in the face? Hahaha! I’ve been wanting to ask, does your face hurt?”
Elena’s face flushed with humiliation. She smashed her spoon down the table and looked at the two women kicking her when she was down. “Do you find it amusing? Believe it or not, I can make it impossible for you to exist in the entertainment industry even if I don’t marry into a wealthy family or have a wealthy backer!”
The entertainment industry was the most complex circle among all sectors.
Those who are famous find it easier to outshine those less recognized.
A single negative news report could eliminate lesser-known actors from the entertainment industry.
They would also mention using connections and means to suppress an even less famous minor actor.
The second female lead’s expression froze, and she swiftly withdrew her sight. “Why are you angry with us? If you have the ability, go deal with Ms. Lawrence.”
“That’s right!” The third female lead’s heart trembled. She didn’t admit defeat verbally. “Stop trying to act tough with us, small fry. Why didn’t you show off like this when you faced Ms. Lawrence just now?”
Elena retorted until her chest felt dull pain.
Claire was entirely responsible for her current situation!
Huh! Claire, if you don’t show me respect, I won’t go easy on you either!
You just have to wait!
Claire felt the intense gaze directed at her back despite the considerable distance between them.
But she remained unconcerned and fearless.
CLOSE
Sean filled his elegant celadon dish halfway with lobster pasta before placing it by Claire’s side. “Avoid oily foods and have some of this if you have a cold. It will help you feel better.”
Originally served in a celadon bowl, the lobster pasta was light and graceful. The combination of white and green colors was visually appealing. A few sliced green onions floated on top, making it even more delicious. It looked like a vibrant painting of spring.
Claire felt a warm surge in her heart as she stared at the beautifully arranged lobster pasta.
This was the first time in her life that she had been so well taken care of.
She savored the balanced flavor as she scooped up a small amount. Her mouth was overwhelmed with the aroma of shrimp.
“It’s so delicious!”
Sean chuckled as Claire’s eyes widened with ecstasy as she ate. She looked as charming as a doll! He picked up a spoonful of something dark and offered it to her while he said, “Try this.”
Claire only noticed the material on the spoon and didn’t realize it was meant for Sean. She smiled and said, “Caviar!”
She opened her mouth and ate it without hesitation after speaking.
Her cheeks were red from the fever, and her face was bare save for a dab of lip gloss to brighten her complexion. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Her coral lips pursed as she tasted the caviar, and her expression was bright and fascinating.
Even if she didn’t become a scriptwriter, she could earn a living as a mukbang host.
Sean looked at her with a puzzled-expression and couldn’t help but wonder. “Is it good?”
Claire smiled and nodded. “Mm, it’s very delicious! This should be sturgeon caviar from the area where Herbia and Gospain meet. It’s considered the gold of culinary delights. Of course, it’s tasty!”
Sean raised an eyebrow as he realized this young lady was highly knowledgeable.
Claire was about to lower her head to finish the lobster pasta from the celadon bowl when she noticed Sean using the same spoon he had just used give her caviar. He scooped up another spoonful of caviar and casually popped it into his lips!
“Sir!”
