Chapter 82 Keep Your Distance From Her
Silas was a touch surprised, for he'd thought that Marcus Cohen would utter a few imploring
remarks. While he couldnât have changed his mind, he had to answer the call for Camilaâs sake. I
didn't expect Marcus Cohen to be such a straightforward person that he gave his artist up without
even asking what had transpired. The corners of his mouth lifted a fraction. âSure. Let's get together
sometime.â Marcusâ voice drifted out of the phone. âOkay. I'll leave you to do your work first, then.â
The corners of Camilaâs mouth twitched unbidden. This cousin of mine is really smart. He's making
his stance clear to Silas Nolan when I've obviously related everything to him via WhatsApp. She
deliberately had Luca make this call so that he would harbor no illusions. Metrostar Entertainment
couldn't possibly allow an artist of his character to stay since he'd started puffing up before even
achieving anything much. After hearing the exchange, Luca's eyes rolled back into his head, and he
almost passed out from fright. He persisted in apologizing while bowing. âPresident Nolan, I'm
sorry. Ladies, I'm sorry. I've realized my wrongdoing now.â Camila threw him a placid glance and
remarked indifferently, âHow did Metrostar Entertainment produce such trash like you?â After saying
that, she turned and looked at Silas. âPresident Nolan, since he has been fired by Metrostar
Entertainment, he's been suitably punished after all. So, let's just drop it at this.â âIs this even
punishment? The two of you are fine only because he was impeded by the situation, not because he
has repented and decided not to take it further,â Silas commented placidly. Sighing, Camila replied,
âI know. If you hadn't been here today, the ramifications might have been disastrous for me and
Kate, but it's tantamount to career suicide now that something like this happened to him at the
height of his career. Thus, I don't want to pursue this matter further.â
Harriet was also a tad worried. While she hadn't raised a hand against them, her attitude earlier was
one of retaliation, so it was a matter of a word from Silas if he wanted payback from her. Hence, she
promptly said to Camila, âMiss Brooklyn, I'm really sorry. I mistakenly took Luca's words for the truth
and thought that he was bullied. I then wanted to retaliate on his behalf without having understood
the truth,
so I owe you an apology as well.â Looking at her, Camila took a deep breath. âAs I said, we both
wanted to retaliate on behalf of our friends, so I don't mind. I just have a kind reminder for you-not
everyone is worthy to be considered a friend. Some people aren't deserving of your kindness!"
Harriet nodded. âYou're right. I still need to improve my judgment of others,â she hurriedly replied.
Camila inclined her head slightly without saying anything further.
Silas glanced at Luca, who appeared to be a lamb awaiting slaughter, his gaze blank
and helpless. âI'll let you off this time for Miss Brooklyn's sake, but keep your distance from her in
future.â Almost bursting into tears from the immense joy, Luca bowed low to him as though he'd
been granted amnesty. âThank you, President Nolan! Thank you, ladies!â Aleena, who'd witnessed
the entire debacle from a corner, gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. Why is there
such a big difference in his attitude? I wanted to sit with him, but he disdained me. When Camila
Brooklyn went over, however, he promptly called her over to have a seat and even helped to avenge
her, getting into a snit for her sake. Why? I like him so much! How am I inferior to her? Her nails
unconsciously dug into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain, her eyes brimming with undisguised
hatred.
"Aleena, who's that woman? Why does Silas seem so protective of her?â The woman beside her
stared at them in bafflement. Aleena snorted. âProtective? Not at all. She just knows some medical
skills and happened to have saved Silas's grandfather, so Silas regards her quite highly.â âNo matter
the reason, there'll be sparks if she keeps putting herself into Silas's path, so you can't just sit
around and do nothing,â the woman urged.
