From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 37

Lauren furrowed her brow slightly, murmuring. “Anthea, just bite the bullet and apologize, will you?”

If they called Harriet over, this whole mess would just spiral out of control. Then, Anthea would not only have to cough up some cash but also offered an apology.

These three were clearly gunning for Anthea.

Alicia let out a soft chuckle, “Totally clueless about reading the room, no wonder you’re just a waitress. Listen up, I might let it slide if you apologize. But once your manager shows up, you’ll be footing the bill.”

This sum of money meant nothing to a heiress like her, not even a drop in the bucket.

But to Anthea, a penny pincher, it was a small fortune!

“Anthea,” Lauren tugged at Anthea’s sleeve once more, “Don’t be so stubborn. It’s just an apology. What’s the big deal?”

Lauren was genuinely looking out for Anthea.

If Anthea kept up her defiance, she’d have worked for peanuts this month.

Just an apology could stop the bleeding. Wasn’t it good?

Anthea glanced down at Lauren, “Lauren, don’t worry about me, please go fetch the boss.”

Seeing Anthea so obstinate, Lauren sighed in resignation.

Rebecca pulled out a card from her purse and offered it to Anthea with a gentle voice, “Anthea, this is my card, the PIN is six sixes. Take it and settle the bill, so you don’t get in trouble when
