Joyce heaved a sigh of relief. “Good. If she ever crosses your path again, just sass her back.”

Beaming, Natalie nodded in reply. “Okay. Speaking of which, has she offended you before?”

She gestured at Hannah with her chin.

Joyce looked in the direction she left and nodded. “I met that woman once when I was having a business meeting with a company. She wanted to buy my work, but I refused, and she started to quarrel with me. How about you? What happened between you and her?”

“She was my roommate when I was studying at J University.” As they walked to their private room, Natalie began to tell Joyce the story between her and Hannah.

After Joyce listened to the whole story, she narrowed her eyes, pondering. “I think I know why she doesn't like you.”

“Oh, what is it?” Natalie wondered.

Joyce pursed her lips and gave her a look. “She's jealous of you. You're pretty and have a good family background. On the other hand, she has none of that except her model-like figure, so she's green with envy.”

Natalie rolled her eyes. “No wonder. I thought it was because I have done something bad to her.”

“Don't mind her. She's a crazy woman. Ah, let's not talk about her anymore. Everyone is waiting for you to go back and have a toast with you. After all, we have such a great performance this month, and we know that you've worked hard for it,” Joyce said, pushing the door open.
