The secretary paused for a sec, then quickly trailed behind Chloe.
In the living room, Wendy was sitting on the couch, engrossed in some news on the internet, a smug grin on her face.
That woman, she just always managed to attract gossips. Looked like she didn't need to get her hands dirty. There was always someone who couldn't stand Chloe.
Always standing out like a sore thumb, she was an easy target. If someone always had it too easy, it was bound to stir up some jealous people.
Not to mention, Chloe wanted to be with Damon... the trouble she was about to face was monumental!
She didn’t come from a powerful family, and had no protection from home, how far could she go on her own? With Mr. Harper around, there was no chance in hell she would be Austin's sugar baby.
But just because she knew, didn't mean everyone else did. They hadn't gone public, why should she spill the beans?
They would never be together! And Damon's wife, well, that would be her!
She hadn’t witnessed the hotel drama firsthand, so how could she miss out this time? She wouldn't want to miss any of Chloe's embarrassing moments.
Seeing Melinda stomping around in a huff, she couldn't help but smirk. She put her phone away, and looked up at Melinda with a straight face, her voice flat, "Cool your jets, you're in someone else's company, making a scene won't do you any good!"
Wendy should've kept her mouth shut, as her comment only made Melinda even more peeved!
Melinda snorted, her voice shrill, "What's so special about her company? I want to make a scene. Let those hundreds of employees see the real Ms. Summers!"
Wendy just smirked, "News is spreading like wildfire online, and everyone who needs to know, knows. Your actions seem a bit overkill, don't you think?"
"Do I care about her online reputation? It's not me who's dissing her! Didn’t she seduce my dad? I'll make her pay!"
Wendy raised an eyebrow, "She had a good rep before. Don't mess with her lightly..."
"Heh... if she hadn't messed with me, why would I give her a second glance?"
Melinda was arrogant; her status in the entertainment industry wasn't thanks to Infinity Media, and certainly not Starlight International. Her dad had used his wealth to elevate her!
She never feared anyone in the industry, and she certainly didn't need to snub anyone for better resources!
Why should she be afraid of her?
Wendy didn't say a word. She wanted Melinda to make as big a scene as soon as possible!
"Watch your image, don't let it affect you."
Melinda huffed, "I will!"
Just as she finished speaking, the door burst open.
Both of them looked up. The secretary opened the door, then respectfully stepped aside to let Chloe in.
Chloe's tall, slender figure appeared in the doorway. With her steady strides and gaze fixed forward, she exuded a commanding and icy demeanor that was hard to resist.
It was rare to see such coldness and dominance in a woman, even the previously arrogant Melinda seemed to wilt under her aura. Wendy frowned, repulsed by Chloe's haughtiness and irritated by Melinda's obvious submissive demeanor.
Without uttering a word, her own aura seemed to shrink, was she still planning to embarrass Chloe?
