David wasn't sure what to say, so he gave Nicole a quick hug.
"Remember, we're friends. If there's anything going on, make sure to tell me," he said.
Nicole nodded in gratitude, clearly moved.
After leaving the office, Nicole packed her things and left for the company Benjamin Chudley had recommended.
...
Although Nicole had left, company policies remained unchanged.
Once the matter was resolved, Aria Grant couldn't stand Vicki's behaviour and accidentally let word of it slip out.
Artists began to talk, as if they had finally seen Vicki's true colours.
Now, the artists turned against Vicki, seemingly forgetting all about the Nicole incident.
"So what if Nicole left! Should that be reason enough to ostracize me?!"
Vicki's manager didn't dare to say anything and just watched Vicki throw a fit.
The more Vicki vented, the angrier she got, eventually beginning to rant at her manager.
