Chapter 1105
“That’s true,” Vonnie replied sarcastically, “I didn’t really think my acting was that great either; it’s all thanks to someone else’s performance. We also have Kimberly, who is beautiful and kind. She deliberately hides her superb acting skills and uses her poor acting skills to act with me, which has made my reputation. No, I have to buy Kimberly a drink. Kimberly is really selfless.”
Vonnie said, then quickly stood up and poured wine for Kimberly in a decent manner. The key is, Vonnie deliberately raised her voice, so that almost everyone present heard what she said. At one point, many people covered their mouths and sneered at Kimberly. Kimberly’s face turned red with anger. I glanced admiringly at Vonnie.
Having been in a relationship with Kimberly for so long, Vonnie has really toughened up her face and mouth.
“Enough, Lavonne. Stop being so two-faced,” Quentin shouted angrily at Vonnie.
Vonnie rolled her eyes and said, “I was just praising your girlfriend for being selfless, why are you still angry?”
“Lavonne!”
“Mr. Duffy!” I impatiently interrupted Quentin, “Can’t other people praise your girlfriend? How come, is your girlfriend a celestial being or a rare treasure? Can’t praise, can’t scold, just take a few more glances and you will feel like others are eyeing your girlfriend. Instead of saying a few more words, you will feel like others are speaking to your girlfriend in a bad tone. Since that’s the case, you might as well keep your girlfriend locked up at home, keeping her for yourself. Why let her out, then?”
“I did not…”
“Today, the crew finally finished work early, and Vonnie kindly treated everyone to a good meal. How come other people treating you guys can’t shut your mouths? You should learn from Mr. Russell, who focused on his work when it was time to work, instead of constantly thinking about how to harm others and embarrass them.”
After arguing with Quentin and Kimberly, I felt a lot more relieved. Anton was right indeed; emotions should not be kept inside, they need to be released. Kimberly’s face turned even redder with anger. Quentin’s face was pale and greenish.
Vonnie covered her mouth and chuckled, pushing the dishes towards Kimberly and Quentin, saying, “Eat, hurry up and eat. Today I’m treating; Ms. Palmer and Mr. Duffy must enjoy themselves.”
Kimberly pushed away the wine glass irritably and got up to leave. Quentin angrily glared at Vonnie, then quickly chased after Kimberly. Vonnie leaned back in her chair, holding her stomach and laughing, “Finally got rid of those two troublemakers, haha, my appetite is back.”
She said, and then went to clink glasses with Gilbert. I tugged at her and asked, “Why didn’t Johnathan come over?”
Vonnie said, “I just called him, but he said he was busy with something urgent and couldn’t come over.”
“Do you know what the urgent matter is?” I asked in a low voice, feeling anxious.
Vonnie shook her head and said, “I didn’t ask about that. Hey, it’s not about the things in the company. Come on, Ralda, let’s eat. You’ve lost weight during this time; eat more.”
Vonnie said, and then gave me some dishes, but I had absolutely no appetite. I looked at my phone again, and it was still quiet with no messages. I furrowed my brows, got up, and walked out.
Upon arriving at the bathroom, I couldn’t help but dial Reynaldo’s phone number. He used to send me updates on Essie and Roddy’s situation every day without fail, so there was no reason for him not to send one today, unless something really happened on his end.
