Chapter 430
Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You can’t afford me now
Chapter 430:
Together, they examined the photo, their expressions turning to astonishment.
The content of the photo was indeed startling.
The image captured Alita in a hotel room with a man.
âThat guy looks familiar. Some film director, maybe?â Elissa whispered.
âHeâs actually a producer,â someone said.
âAh.â Elissa acknowledged. âWhat a scandal!â
âIt is, isnât it?â another chimed in with a chuckle.
âShut up!â Alita retorted, her eyes blazing as she fixed her gaze on the commenter.
âWhat? Did I say anything wrong? Maybe you were more than eager to be in his companyâ¦â
âShut your mouth, or Iâll do it for you!â
âTry me!â
Chaos erupted as they charged at each other.
Amidst the commotion, a voice called out, âEnough, Alita! Break it up!â
âMs. Nicolsonâ¦â
âMs. Nicolson!â
Blanche and Stella approached, their expressions unreadable and stern.
The chatter in the room ceased immediately.
Blanche examined the photo handed to her by Elissa before scoffing coldly. âAlita, follow me.â
Alita responded stiffly, âYes, Ms. Nicolson.â As they departed, murmurs filled the room.
âWhat will Ms. Nicolson do with her?â
âSurely, sheâll let her go.â
âThatâs a bit severe, isnât it?â
âSevere? Ms. Nicolson has zero tolerance for mixing personal affairs with professional ones.â
âRemember Hadleyâs past troubles? Alita would need similar talents to bounce back from this.â
âAnd really, Alitaâs behavior is appalling.â
Taking side gigs was already frowned upon. Now, caught with a producer, the scandal was too much.
Hadley, still feeling unwell, had no patience for the gossip. âElissa, letâs return to our room.â
âSure.â
What would become of Alita?
Later that evening, as Hadley and Elissa headed out for dinner, they noticed Alita wheeling a suitcase out of her room.
Could this be true?
As expected, Alita had been dismissed.
âHumph.â With a resentful glare, Alita confronted Hadley. âAre you happy now?â
Confused, Hadley responded, âWhy would I be happy about your firing?â
