Chapter 1318
“What do you mean?! She just yelled at me! How can you just leave it alone?!”
Nicole was losing her temper. She glared at her assistant and continued her rampage. “Do you know how much I’ve
put up with you backstage? I rushed over to this worthless event hours before it started, yet I had to wait till almost
dinner before they let me come on! I’ve wasted the entire day here, and now, this blind woman just bumps into me,
and you do nothing? How useless of an assistant are you?”
The assistant was speechless at Nicole’s merciless undressing. She clearly saw how Nicole herself had accidentally
bumped into the woman, so how shameless must she have to be to trouble the other woman for it?
“I’m sorry,” she told Nicole with a pleading look in her eyes. “But can’t we talk about this after the event? It’s
almost time for you to go on stage… Let’s just get the job done first, then we’ll talk about this…”
“I’m not going!” Nicole snapped, turning around. “ They’ve been keeping me waiting for the whole day, so why
should I just go on stage so easily?”
Her assistant had started panicking and was at a complete loss. She had no idea why she had to work with such a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmegalomaniac that would throw tantrums at the worst of times. With much effort, she had finally managed to
persuade her to perform today, yet now she just changed her mind again at the drop of a hat and refused to go on
stage.
If Nicole ended up not performing today, the whole event would not be able to continue, and if that happened, her
bonus would be deducted again, not to mention she might even lose her pay for the day.
Unlike Nicole, who could earn thousands of dollars even from a small performance like this one, she could
probably only earn a few hundred in expenses today at the very best, but even that would depend on how the
entertainer performed. If the entertainer were dissatisfied with her, or made a complaint about her, then her pay
would be cut in half. If the entertainer refused to go on stage, then it was highly likely that she would not receive a
dime for her work at all.
“Why don’t you just go finish your job for now?” Stella asked Nicole while feeling very sorry for the assistant.”
You’ve got no reason to trouble her, you know.”
“Ha!” Nicole paused and sniggered. “If you’re so kind, then why don’t you just replace her and be my assistant
yourself?!”
Nicole despised Stella for her fake pretensions and hypocritical behavior.
“Didn’t you want to show that you’re a kind person?” she added. “I just can’t believe how fake you are! I’ve long
known how cruel and heartless you actually are from the way you treated Weston. I simply refuse to believe that
you have a single kind bone in your body! You’re just trying to fool these people, aren’t you?”
“Just think of it as an act, then,” Stella replied while glaring coldly. “What difference would it make if I pretended to
be a good person my whole life? It might be fake, but unlike you, I still end up harming no one. So what if it was all
just an act?”
Stella could not help but find Nicole’s mentality extremely laughable.
“Is someone of your type really better?” she asked Nicole. “Someone like you who’s so openly hostile and vicious
towards others? Do you actually believe that just because you freely admit that you’re a horrible person, it’ll
absolve all the harm you caused and that everything will be all right?”
If they had not been on a tight schedule, the assistant would have given Stella a hearty applause for taking her
words right out of her mouth!
Everyone was an adult here, so why should Nicole be so mean when she could be considerate instead?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBesides, she had always done her job well, so she simply could not understand why Nicole liked to treat her so badly
and make things so difficult for her, yet at the same time, never uttering a word of complaint when facing those of
a higher position.
Had she not done her job well, it would make sense that Nicole would lose her temper. She would have even
conceded, even if Nicole wanted to make things difficult.
She had clearly done everything in her power to make everything run smoothly for Nicole, but all she got in return
was such horrible treatment!
All these thoughts ran through the assistant’s mind, but she dared not voice any of them.
“Fine!” Nicole stomped and gritted her teeth, realizing that everyone was against her now. “You think that she’s on
your side, don’t you? Okay, I’m not going on stage then!”
“Please,” the assistant was on the verge of tears. “Don’t do that. Everything’s been set. If you don’t perform, I’d be
the one to bear the consequences…”
“But it’s all your fault anyway! You shouldn’t have taken someone else’s side!”
“I wasn’t taking her side,” the assistant argued anxiously, so distressed that she could not stand still. “I was just…”
“Hergh!”
