Matthew shot a glance and withdrew his gaze. It was obvious that he did not want to get involved.
I did not want to meddle in the affairs of others as well. After all, it was someone's private matter. If it was not solved properly, I might get raked over the coals.
"Let's go.” The surroundings were so noisy that Matthew did not want to stay any longer.
I nodded my head.
"I was wrong. I truly know that I was wrong. Please, I'm begging you. Don't hit me anymore." The woman clung to the man's thigh. She was crying so badly.
The man had no mercy on her. He grabbed her hair and was about to pull her away. "It seems to me that you still have no idea what you did wrong. I'll have to make you remember what you're supposed to say and what you're not supposed to."
"Isn't that the vice president of Magnificent Entertainment, Benny Sherman?”
Someone nearby exposed the man’s identity. I stopped walking at once when I heard this name.
The vice president of Magnificent Entertainment, Benny Sherman?
Could it be that the woman he was beating up was...
"Stop!" My rationality told me that I should leave and mind my own business. However, I could not turn a blind eye to this.
The man and woman looked at me at the same time. M y gaze slid from Benny's face to the woman’s face. She was my former assistant-Heidi Sanders.
Even though it had been less than a year, I nearly could not recognize her. Before this, she was a young, vibrant, and energetic woman. Now, she just looked exhausted. There was no light in her eyes. She was only in her 20s, but she looked like someone in her 30s. I was shocked. How did she become like this?
