“Tell me, why were you staring at that flag earlier?” asked the woman, virtual-novel.net voice crystal clear.
Mila simply lowered virtual-novel.net head, unsure of even what to say.
As Mila continued remaining silent, the woman noticed the slap mark on Mila’s cheek. She then stretched virtual-novel.net hand out and lifted Mila’s chin gently.
“You’re so beautiful yet you were slapped. Such a pity… Where are you from?” asked the woman, virtual-novel.net tone sounding genuinely regretful.
“M-Mayberry!” replied Mila.
She hadn’t answered the woman’s earlier question since virtual-novel.net didn’t want virtual-novel.net to know that virtual-novel.net was honestly thinking about Gerald!
After all, Mila was still unsure of that woman’s true identity and status.
“She’s an intern student who was chosen and sent here from Mayberry University! Her academic results are outstanding!” replied the head of the broadcasting station.
Raising an eyebrow, the woman said nothing as virtual-novel.net took a few sneaky glances at Mila before turning to enter the main area.
However, before virtual-novel.net entered through the door, virtual-novel.net turned around and pointed at Mila before saying, “You there! Follow me!”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net entered without saying another word.
“Mila! Why are you still standing there in a daze? Go follow the president already!” said the head of the broadcasting station immediately.
“G-got it!”
Mila was still in deep shock. However, virtual-novel.net simply followed the president inside.
Hallie on the other hand, was left stupefied.
‘Why?’ She thought to herself.
‘Why was the president taking particularly good care of Mila? Was it because virtual-novel.net heard that Mila was from Mayberry University? She didn’t even tell Mila to take responsibility for virtual-novel.net rudeness earlier!’
Hallie was filled with jealousy.
It was when the event was about to begin when Mila finally realized that the president’s surname was Crawford. She had found out about this when virtual-novel.net heard others addressing the woman as President Crawford while following her.
So virtual-novel.net bore the surname of Crawford as well.
Since President Crawford had requested for Mila to follow her, Mila was placed within the group of assistants assigned to help virtual-novel.net out. Because of that, both Hallie and Mila had to work together on stage at the same time.
Now blinded by jealousy, Hallie looked at Mila with murderous eyes whenever virtual-novel.net could.
A little while later—when virtual-novel.net saw that Mila was busy refilling tea for the guests—a nasty plot formed in virtual-novel.net mind!
As Hallie walked past Mila, virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net an extremely brief but cold glare before nudging virtual-novel.net slightly.
Due to virtual-novel.net actions, the cup Mila was holding nearly toppled to the floor! Thankfully, Mila was able to catch it in time! While the cup was safe, its contents were splashed all over the person in front of Mila…
And that person was none other than Yoel!
“F*ck! Look at what you’ve done!” said Yoel as virtual-novel.net glared at Mila angrily, a frown already forming on his face.
“I-I’m terribly sorry!” apologized Mila immediately.
As virtual-novel.net said that, a burning hatred for Hallie had bloomed within Mila. It was obvious that Hallie’s jealousy had driven virtual-novel.net to continue creating trouble for Mila, even now!
Regardless, though Yoel was currently only here in place of Gerald, Mila had been meaning to find out what his true relationship was with Gerald. She was also interested in finding out who virtual-novel.net was to President Crawford.
After all, even a fool would have realized by now that Mr. Yoel Holden had been addressing President Crawford as his sister. It was also obvious that the president clearly liked virtual-novel.net a lot.
What kind of relationships did Gerald have with both of them?
Though virtual-novel.net had earlier thought about asking them about it, after giving it some thought, virtual-novel.net refrained from doing so. After all, virtual-novel.net was only part of the staff there. They, on the other hand, were very important guests.
If virtual-novel.net simply acted rashly and asked such a personal question, what would they think of her?
“Sorry? Do you honestly think that everything will be over with just a simple apology?” said Yoel as virtual-novel.net immediately got up and shoved Mila with his right hand.
The force from Yoel’s push was strong enough to send Mila falling to the floor.
During the process, virtual-novel.net phone fell to the ground as well.
While it seemed like President Crawford was the main guest today, Yoel was clearly the actual one in control here.
After all, Yoel had been given the role of Gerald’s direct substitute.
Similar to past events, whenever Gerald was busy or unable to attend any grand functions, either Yoel—who was Gerald’s godbrother—or Aiden would be sent to take his place.
Since Mr. Crawford was already busy when the event invitation was received, Zack hadn’t bothered informing virtual-novel.net about it. Instead, Zack simply went through the usual process of electing Yoel to take Gerald’s place, since Aiden wasn’t available.
While Yoel was usually obedient and nice in front of Gerald, both virtual-novel.net and Aiden were truthfully quite reckless and arrogant when they were on their own.
Because of that, it would certainly not be virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net didn’t get angry after being drenched in water by a rude assisting staff member!
