    you’re a divorced woman? Do you think you’re worthy of a wealthy.


    man?” “That’s not for you to decide.


    I advise you to be kind for your unborn child’s sake,” I retorted while taking a paper towel to wipe my


    hands.


    As I turned to leave, Mnie realized I wouldn’t entertain her.


    She stood in my way, saying, “I’ll see how long you can keep this up, bitch.


    Sooner orter, you’ll be crying your eyes out.” When she said those words, Ste entered the


    restroom.


    She saw my and Mnie’s confrontation and stood beside me.


    Ste grabbed my arm and asked, “Ms.


    Chloe, what’s happening?” Her eyes darted between me and Mnie.


    Mnie gave Ste a once–over and then smirked.

    “Hey, gorgeous.


    You should be wary of the women around you.


    They might be interested in your man.” Her words made me feel awkward.


    “Mnie, you’re going too far-” “If anyone’s going too far, it’s you!‘ Someone interjected.


    When I turned to look, it was Matthew.


    He approached Mnie, his voice low and dangerous, “Chloe, do you want to pick a fight with her?” He


    pulled Mnie into his embrace as he spoke.


    Then, he turned to me and continued, “Don’t me me for retaliating if you keep this up.


    Did you forget yourpany’s suppliers only listen to my orders?” I red at Matthew.


    “Is that a challenge, Matt? If you’re a man, you shoulde at me directly instead of scheming behind


    my back.


    Your orders? Let me tell you something.


    I don’t want to associate with anyone who listens to your orders.” “Don’t be stubborn, Chloe.


    You should behave yourself if you want Tanum Corporation to survive.


    Otherwise, I’ll ensure you’re on the losing end and- Before he could finish, an indifferent voice


    interrupted him, “Is that so? I’d like to see who dares to say that.” Matthew turned around and saw

    Ste frowned but quickly concealed her thoughts and pulled my arm.


    “Let’s go back to our seats.” She walked beside me and whispered, “Why were they so arrogant?”


    However, I couldn’t answer because I felt humiliated.


    It seemed I needed to change these suppliers as soon as possible.


    After returning to our seats, As asked about my recent situation.


    I exined, and he looked at me thoughtfully, saying, “I’ll give you a month to change all the previous


    suppliers and resolve all the issues.” “No problem!” I replied eagerly.


    We left the restaurant after dinner, and I bid them farewell at the entrance.


    I didn’t want to stay after what Matthew and Mnie pulled off.


    I was embarrassed about Ste witnessing all that.


    I didn’t need to worry about Ste with As present.


    Still, I sensed As had something else to say but didn’t bring it up out of consideration for Ste.
