Then, Chloe noticed that the lady next to Nicole was her previous assistant, Kelly.
“Why are you with them?" Chloe asked, shocked as she looked at Kelly.
Kelly did not respond as she did not know how to formulate a reply that would not piss Chloe off.
"I see. You're Nicole's assistant now, right?" Chloe guessed as she glanced over at Nicole.
Kelly offered a weak nod and remained silent.
"Seems like Jared hasn't been treating you that well, hun? Even your assistant is a leftover from me."
Chloe looked at Nicole and mocked her.
She had belittled the both of them in a single sentence and was looking as smug as ever.
"That's rich, coming from a person who doesn't even deserve to have an assistant." Nicole looked
around, but she did not see anyone else together with Chloe. "You're the last person who has the right
to say that."
"Who doesn't deserve to have an assistant, you say?” Chloe retorted with a glare.
"You, obviously. Don't you have any self-awareness? Look around you. Is there anyone else who fits
that bill?” Nicole said, her scathing remarks effectively hurting Chloe.
Indeed, Henry had fled the country and Kelly had resigned. Chloe was afraid that she would be
dragged into this mess, so she quickly fled to another country, which was why she was eating alone.
Chloe was at a loss for words and could not find anything to say in response, so all she could do was
glare at Nicole.
"Do you know that my assistant is unpacking my luggage back in the hotel? Do you think everyone
would bring their assistant everywhere with them, just like you?" Chloe retaliated with a lie.
“You should look in the mirror. Aren't you the person who likes to bring their assistant everywhere with
them?" Nicole asked, merciless in her attempt to back Chloe into a corner.
Harvey quickly changed the subject when he saw that they were fighting again. "We're almost done
with our food, so it's about time we head to the theater.”
Nicole took a glance at him and said, "Let's go then. The environment here sucks, and I've had enough
of it.”
Nicole took the lead and stood up, followed by Harvey and Kelly.
However, Chloe had not had the last word, so she was determined not to let Nicole off the hook.
"Harvey, are you going to watch a movie too?"
“Ah... yeah.” Harvey glanced over at Nicole before responding to Chloe.
"Which movie?" Chloe asked. "Are you going too? You know, if you leave, I'm going to be really bored
eating here on my own.
"Uh..."
“Why don't you stay here with me for a bit?" Chloe looked at Harvey with a wink and a smile.
“We're leaving now, so it's up to you if you wish to stay or come with us." Nicole saw that Harvey was
stuck between a rock and a hard place, so she walked off on her own.
“Nicole,” Harvey called out to her, but she strutted off without another glance over her shoulder.
The moment Kelly and Nicole had stepped outside, Kelly said, " Don't let a person like her anger you,
Miss Riddle. It's not worth it.”
“I'm not actually pissed. I just wanted to rile her up.” Nicole smirked.
“Then, are we going to wait for Harvey to join us, or..." Kelly blinked and looked at Nicole.
"We'll go to the movies first. If he wants to join us, he'll let us know. Come on.” Nicole immediately took
Kelly to the nearest movie theatre.
“There are so many movies, Miss Riddle. Which one are we going to watch?" Kelly asked, her eyes
ranging from trailer to trailer at the counter.
“Which one interests you?" Nicole looked at the movie previews.
