Looks Like Someone''s Scared | After finishing her statement, Mia turned to leave with a high and cold stride. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at me, saying, ""Ms. Chloe, shall we have a chat?" I smiled, "Sure." Looking up at As, I whispered, "I''ll chat with Ms. Mia for a while. You focus on your tasks." As nodded with an indulgent expression, "Alright. Don''t forget to eat something." I smiled, gave Ivanna a slight tug, and followed Mia as we walked toward the VIP area.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Liora
still hiding behind the crowd, staring at us as we walked by in astonishment.
Mia''s words should be enough to make her heart race.
People in the crowd continued toment, "They''re really ignorant to dare to offend these two women. One is Mr. Arthur''s daughter, and the other is Mr. As’s woman.” As we left the chaotic crowd, Ivanna disdainfully remarked, "Liora must be really panicking now." "1 really dislike that woman. Too bad for that Atticus. He''s a very astute man," Mia said casually, showing her favorable impression of Atticus.
"Thank you, Ms. Mia." I looked at her, "1 didn''t expect that we''ve only met
twice, and both times you''ve helped me out of a situation.” "Haha. You realize it too?" Mia nced at me, snorting. "I can''t decide whether to praise your calmness or scold you for being timid." For a moment, I was genuinely rendered speechless by her words.
Seeing my confusion, Mia continued, "If I were you, I would have pped them a long time ago." I chuckled, earning a disapproving look from Mia, "What are youughing at? Did I say something wrong?" "It''s not that you said something wrong, but it''s definitely a kind of encouragement for me." I sincerely replied.
This time, she was the one left
momentarily speechless, ?? Ivanna exined for me, "Chloe is someone who handles situations with great discretion, and she would always consider the bigger picture. She''s just calm, but not timid at all." Mia looked at me, "What are you afraid of?" "I’m not afraid, but I need to consider the asion. For example, in today''s situation, if we swap ces, I believe you would act simrly. Considering my identity, status, and position, I can''t let my personality run wild.
Allowing myself to be capricious would undoubtedly bring criticism to As," 1 exined my reasons.
Mia nced at me, her arrogant demeanor softening a bit.

Allowing myself to be capricious would undoubtedly bring criticism to As," 1 exined my reasons.
Mia nced at me, her arrogant demeanor softening a bit.
"Maybe it''s our environment that determines this. You know, being with As, we face a lot of criticisms," 1 ! confessed openly to Mia.
"Why?" she asked.
Her asking this question indicated she was an open-minded person and, moreover, she was still unfamiliar with my situation.
Well, considering who she was—the true queen of Foswood—why would she care about an unrted woman like me? I stayed silent for a moment, then decided to be honest with her, "I''m kind of a public figure in Foswood.
Everyone knows I''ve been divorced, and I have a 5-year-old daughter." 150 what?" Mia was indeed open-
minded.
"Because my divorce was all over the news. It caused quite a stir in the city," I recounted my history to Mia in detail, and let her thoroughly understand my background.
She ordered a lot of food, had it sent to her room, and we three chatted while eating. In the end, she still insisted on her viewpoint about being decisive when needed, as indecision would lead to chaos.
If it weren''t for Dning to find me, saying that Noah wanted to meet me, we might have continued chatting.
Unexpectedly, this time it was Noah who took the initiative to meet with As, expressing his desire to talk to me.
On our way there, Dn reminded me of a few key points, which I silently noted.
I had a conversation with Noah for a full three hours, and it only ended when As appeared in our private room. However, I was already confident that Bourdamun’s project was settled, and I knew deep down that having the backing of ATL Empire was a considerable advantage. @ After discussing with him, we agreed that after disembarking, our respective teams would sit down and discuss the details. If it weren''t for the poor signal on the ship, I really wanted to call Ryan immediately. I was so excited, and I hadn''t expected everything to go exactly as nned.
But just when I was feeling
triumphant, an irreversible major event urred.
