"You didn't used to be like this." It's still the same face, but definitely not the previous loser. How could a person change so much? It's like she's become a completely different person. If she had always been like this, he wouldn't have underestimated her.
"Well, just think of me as having a split personality. Remember me as I am now, and if you can't, I'll make sure you're left with a deep impression."
The dull pain below reminded Graham that the current impression was deep enough already.
Izabella tossed the magazine in her hand onto the table and said, "I want the money by midnight, and the contract termination sent to my email by the weekend."
Graham's face twisted, "Didn't you say you're not terminating the contract?"
"I don't want to terminate it now, but that doesn't mean I won't want to in the future. Do you really think your crappy company can keep me for ten years? The contract should have all the necessary signatures and seals. I don't want to embarrass you guys later, you know?"
She still needed to use the company as a shield, but it can't be like this forever. She had to plan ahead and be ready to leave at any time.
One recording can only put these bastards in a difficult situation, but can't solve them completely. She had to wait a bit longer, at least until she uprooted the company's money tree.
Graham's face grew worse after hearing her belittling.
Izabella sat back down on the sofa and called the waiter.
Graham, seeing outsiders about to enter, ignored the pain below and stood up with a twisted foot, slightly bowing in front of Izabella, like a primary school student who made a mistake and saw the headteacher.
The waiter came in and saw such a strange scene.
"Get me the most expensive coffee beans in your shop. I want to take them with me."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
The coffee beans in this shop were all packaged, and the waiter came over with a beautifully wrapped bag. Izabella opened it and took a look, raising her eyebrows slightly. She could smell the aroma without even opening it.
These coffee beans were popular with her grandfather back when the Salotti family hadn't gone bankrupt. A small jar was worth 20,000.
Izabella closed the bag, "Thanks for the hospitality today. Let's meet again another day."
Graham gritted his teeth in pain. He usually took advantage of others and had only tasted such expensive coffee beans once. All Graham wanted now was for this troublemaker to leave quickly and not linger in front of him. He was afraid he would vomit blood because of anger.
Izabella, carrying the coffee beans, walked to the door and suddenly thought of something. She turned back with a smile, "Oh, don't forget to sign me up for 'Here Comes the Superstars'. I heard they're starting to record next week."
Graham clenched his teeth, "I got it!"
Outside the private room, Izabella touched her still sore neck, forgetting to let him pay for medical expenses and mental damages. Oh well... it was more fun to slowly butcher a fat sheep, as too much would be counterproductive.
Her tricks could only work on ordinary people. If she met Brett, she would probably be exposed with just one look before she even spoke.
