Facing two handsome men, I was really powerless.
Jerome brewed a cup of tea. He cradled the cup in his hands and held it in front of me. "Drink some tea to cool down your anger."
Cool down my anger?
I did not seem to be feeling any anger now. I took a sip of the tea and felt the aroma of the tea come through my nose. A strong fragrance overflowed, and it gave off a very comfortable feeling.
Although I was not angry, it did drive away a lot of impetuous emotions.
I put down the cup and looked at the two of them. Anticipation filled their eyes as they waited for me to explain the ins and outs of the situation to them.
I coughed a few times and opened my eyes. "Actually, what Nicky has done is nothing to me. I'm not as sad as I imagined I would be, so don't worry."
After Jerome and Xander heard my words, their expressions softened a little. Xander asked me first, "I can more or less figure out that Nicky took advantage of Theo's injury and amnesia to steal your position, but how could you let her take advantage of it?”
To them, Theo and I were foxes, impossible to be deceived, but such a thing still happened.
I pursed my lips and sighed. "I can only say that Nicky's schemes were much more refined than ours. Plus something happened before..."
I told them about all the recent events, big and small. The two of them listened to me and looked surprised almost every 10 minutes. They were obviously shocked by Nicky’s actions.
"Alright, that’s everything." I took another sip of tea after having divulged a lot.
Jerome and Xander looked at each other and then sighed one after another, especially Xander. "If she had entered the entertainment industry, she could have at least won an Oscar."
The entertainment industry had always been a mixed bag. As a former popular celebrity who was now doing behind-the-scenes work, Xander was very familiar with some of the entertainment industry's operations.
Immediately afterward, Jerome also said, "She’s talented and has been planning this for a long time. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have fallen into her trap."
