On the late autumn nights, there was a bitter cold in the air.
Cold winds came one after another, tricky and cunning. They attacked when people let down their guards. The cold took over every bit of summer and made people feel frozen.
However, the brightly lit state of California seemed like it was never afraid of winter.
Even though it was late at night, the street was still bustling with people. Even in the ruthless winter, the city was still lively.
In a Starbucks café in Chatterton Town, the scene was lively. Everyone was gossiping and some discussions were more bitter and cruel than the cold wind, of people making schemes.
Just like the two ordinary women who were sitting in a corner.
The scarf that Madonna had bought was the same as Karen's. She handed it to Emma and said, "Cousin, it's cold. I bought this especially for you. It is a limited edition from this brand, there are only six of these in the whole city."
Emma looked at the logo on the scarf and frowned slightly. She did not reach out to take it. "You've just changed jobs, and you don't have much money. Why are you spending so much money?"
"You took good care of me when I was in Innovative Tech, and I didn't buy anything for you. This is a little present for you." Madonna said lightly and pushed the scarf to Emma.
Emma glanced at the expensive scarf and did not take it. She just said indifferently, "Just tell me what you want me to do. I am your cousin. Your parents entrusted you to me, and I will try my best to help you."
She knew Madonna very well. If she didn't need her help, it was impossible that she would spend the money on her. The scarf may look light, but she wasn't sure how heavy its burden would be if she took it.
Emma's answer was stiff, and she refused to take the scarf. Madonna was somewhat embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "You know, I was fired because of Karen, that B*tch..."
Speaking of Karen, Madonna almost gnashed her teeth, and the smile on her face turned into a ferocious one. "If she hadn't been playing tricks behind my back, how could I have fallen into such a situation!"
Emma had already guessed that Madonna would talk about her being fired, but she didn't expect that she hadn't repented on it. Emma could not help but sigh in her heart and said coldly, "Although I don't have much contact with the sales department, I still know Karen. She is not a troublemaker. As for how you were fired, only you know it best."
Emma was Madonna's cousin. She usually took care of Madonna at work, but in the face of justice, she still stood on the right side.
"Emma, what you saw was all a show by that woman. You don't know how shameless she is." Madonna looked left and right and said in a low voice, "She was kicked out by her family because she seduced her brother-in-law, back in New York."
These were other people's private affairs, as well as things in the past. It wasn't seen by their own eyes and they did not understand things fully. Emma didn't want to answer Madonna.
Seeing that Emma did not answer, Madonna thought that she had already been convinced, so she continued to say, "Even her family kicked her out, you don't know how slutty this person is, how many things she did secretly..."
"You called me to come here to talk about these things?" Emma suddenly cut off Madonna's words. "If there's nothing else, I am going to leave."
