However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Justin Battleson.
"Stop playing tricks and get out." Justin Battleson shed his usual tolerance, his words full of threat, his expression no longer hiding his anger.
For the first time in five years, Justin Battleson told her to "get out."
Obviously, he was very angry now.
Evelyn Curtis, frightened, remained silent, aware that any further entanglement would only provoke his dissatisfaction. She left, embarrassed.
Her departure was as hurried and dismal as her arrival had been radiant.
Having failed to seize the opportunity to get rid of Charlotte Thompson, Evelyn Curtis gritted her teeth, withholding her complaints.
Moreover, being told to ’get out’ by Justin Battleson hurt her deeply, as if she were being cut with a knife.
She felt that she had lost miserably before the battle had begun.
She was keenly aware of the difference in treatment between her and Charlotte in Justin’s eyes.
Unable to vent her anger, she adjusted herself and put on sunglasses to hide her red, slightly swollen eyes.
She had her pride too. If others knew that she had cried in Justin Battleson’s office, wouldn’t it be a joke?
With Evelyn Curtis gone, Justin Battleson finally had some peace.
He was a man of his word and would do what he promised.
Once he finished sorting the documents in front of him, he called in Michael Richard.
" Handle Evelyn Curtis’s scandal," he commanded.
Understanding the assignment, Michael Richard left to get started.
It has to be said that the PR capabilities of the Riley Group is one of the best in the industry.
Not long after, a scandal about an up-and-coming star broke on the internet, diverting the attention of netizens.
With the public eager for new gossip, who would have time to pay attention to Evelyn Curtis’s matters?
This provided her agency with a chance to breathe and minimize their losses.
Evelyn Curtis, always concerned about her image, seeing that the public’s focus had shifted to another star, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, all she could do was wait patiently.
Once the scandal subsides, she can re-emerge in public sight with a new image.
With the awards she has won over the years and the loyal fans she has accumulated, she won’t be suppressed forever.
The only downside was that Charlotte was still at Vanguard Jewelry, occupying a place near Justin.
In the same building, they were bound to encounter each other often.
The charm of Justin Battleson was obvious to all.
What if Charlotte turned out to be a shameless flirt ...
Despite such thoughts, Evelyn Curtis dared not act recklessly.
She had just been warned by him. If she couldn’t restrain herself and really angered him, it would be more harm than good.
Meanwhile, in Vanguard Jewelry, the legendary story of Charlotte Thompson spread among all the employees. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel⸺fire.net
Anyone with discerning eyes could see Justin Battleson’s considerate attitude towards Charlotte. All the employees who had targeted her were now in a panic.
Those who had targeted her avoided her now, afraid that she would hold a grudge.
"I’m sorry, Miss Thompson, I’m sorry, it was an accident. Please don’t remember my mistake. Don’t take it to heart..."
A normally arrogant employee accidentally bumped into someone at the corner, the words of reproach were just about to slip from his mouth.
However, the moment he lifted his eyes and saw it was Charlotte whom he bumped into, his face froze and the words stuck in his throat.
When he came to his senses, he apologized profusely and bowed continuously to show his sincerity.
He only hoped that Charlotte would let him off the hook.
