Chapter 44: Retaliation

Such is the nature of women.

Their ability to change demeanour is akin to the turning of a page in a book.

Moreover, Elysianne's repeated insinuations regarding my desire for Su Mei seemed tinged with an air of defending her honour.

By nature, I am rather aloof, especially toward a domineering boss like her, and I find myself devoid of patience.

Casting a cold glance at Elysianne, I remarked flatly,

"If the general manager deems me worthless, then we should…"

"Lupan!"

Before I could finish my thought, Su Mei interjected unexpectedly.

She then turned to Elysianne, smiling brightly as she said,

"Elysianne, you've been yearning to dine at Cuixianju, haven't you? I've made reservations long ago. Let's go now; if we delay any further, the reservation will be forfeited..."

I understood that Su Mei's intentions were noble.

She wished to avoid any fallout between me and Elysianne.

She genuinely hoped I could remain at the venue as an observer.
