“What do you mean?! She just yelled at me! How can you just leave it alone?!”
Nicole was losing her temper. She glared at her assistant and continued her rampage. “Do you know
how much I’ve put up with you backstage? I rushed over to this worthless event hours before it started,
yet I had to wait till almost dinner before they let me come on! I’ve wasted the entire day here, and now,
this blind woman just bumps into me, and you do nothing? How useless of an assistant are you?”
The assistant was speechless at Nicole’s merciless undressing. She clearly saw how Nicole herself had
accidentally bumped into the woman, so how shameless must she have to be to trouble the other woman
for it?
“I’m sorry,” she told Nicole with a pleading look in her eyes. “But can’t we talk about this after the event?
It’s almost time for you to go on stage… Let’s just get the job done first, then we’ll talk about this…”
“I’m not going!” Nicole snapped, turning around. “ They’ve been keeping me waiting for the whole day, so
why should I just go on stage so easily?”
Her assistant had started panicking and was at a complete loss. She had no idea why she had to work
with such a
megalomaniac that would throw tantrums at the worst of times. With much effort, she had finally
managed to persuade her to perform today, yet now she just changed her mind again at the drop of a hat
and refused to go on stage.
If Nicole ended up not performing today, the whole event would not be able to continue, and if that
happened, her bonus would be deducted again, not to mention she might even lose her pay for the day.Unlike Nicole, who could earn thousands of dollars even from a small performance like this one, she
could
probably only earn a few hundred in expenses today at the very best, but even that would depend on
how the entertainer performed. If the entertainer were dissatisfied with her, or made a complaint about
her, then her pay would be cut in half. If the entertainer refused to go on stage, then it was highly likely
that she would not receive a dime for her work at all.
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebook“Why don’t you just go finish your job for now?” Stella asked Nicole while feeling very sorry for the
assistant.” You’ve got no reason to trouble her, you know.”
“Ha!” Nicole paused and sniggered. “If you’re so kind, then why don’t you just replace her and be my
assistant yourself?!”
Nicole despised Stella for her fake pretensions and hypocritical behavior.
“Didn’t you want to show that you’re a kind person?” she added. “I just can’t believe how fake you are!
I’ve long known how cruel and heartless you actually are from the way you treated Weston. I simply
refuse to believe that you have a single kind bone in your body! You’re just trying to fool these people,
aren’t you?”
“Just think of it as an act, then,” Stella replied while glaring coldly. “What difference would it make if I
pretended to be a good person my whole life? It might be fake, but unlike you, I still end up harming no
one. So what if it was all just an act?”
Stella could not help but find Nicole’s mentality extremely laughable.
“Is someone of your type really better?” she asked Nicole. “Someone like you who’s so openly hostile
and vicious towards others? Do you actually believe that just because you freely admit that you’re a
horrible person, it’ll absolve all the harm you caused and that everything will be all right?”If they had not been on a tight schedule, the assistant would have given Stella a hearty applause for
taking her words right out of her mouth!
Everyone was an adult here, so why should Nicole be so mean when she could be considerate instead?
Besides, she had always done her job well, so she simply could not understand why Nicole liked to treat
her so badly and make things so difficult for her, yet at the same time, never uttering a word of complaint
when facing those of a higher position.
Had she not done her job well, it would make sense that Nicole would lose her temper. She would have
even conceded, even if Nicole wanted to make things difficult.
She had clearly done everything in her power to make everything run smoothly for Nicole, but all she got
in return was such horrible treatment!
All these thoughts ran through the assistant’s mind, but she dared not voice any of them.
“Fine!” Nicole stomped and gritted her teeth, realizing that everyone was against her now. “You think that
she’s on your side, don’t you? Okay, I’m not going on stage then!”
“Please,” the assistant was on the verge of tears. “Don’t do that. Everything’s been set. If you don’t
perform, I’d be the one to bear the consequences…”
“But it’s all your fault anyway! You shouldn’t have taken someone else’s side!”
“I wasn’t taking her side,” the assistant argued anxiously, so distressed that she could not stand still. “I
was just…” “Hergh!”
