Chapter 258 Do You Like Her

Finished

As the crowd listened to the two women singing the same tune, seemingly teaming up against Clifford, they were momentarily taken aback.

It was peculiar. They didn't just bear a striking resemblance to each other. Even their mannerisms when scolding others were uncannily similar.

It was truly fascinating.

Clifford was genuinely triggered. After all, he was uncertain whether he still held a place in Elaine's heart. But how could Zendaya, a young girl still in school, possibly not be fond of him?

"How could you possibly not like me? You've been by my side for so long. If you didn't like me, how could you easily agree to be someone else's stand-in?" Clifford was desperate, straining to find proof.

Upon hearing this, others believed it to be true. She acted as a stand-in either because she liked him, or because she wanted to find someone with a higher status. No one would willingly put themselves through that suffering otherwise.

If she wanted to find someone with a higher status, there would be no reason now to refuse to be Clifford's

mistress.

However, if she liked him, things wouldn't turn out to be so ugly. Everyone was genuinely confused.

Zendaya scoffed. "Since you've brought it up, it doesn't count as me breaking our agreement. Have you forgotten how we started? It was an employment contract. You hired me to impersonate Elaine for a monthly wage of five hundred thousand. I was just doing my job. If the orphanage hadn't been struggling, I wouldn't have taken this job. It was a clear employment relationship. Why would you think I'd develop feelings for you? Are you blaming me for being too convincing, for being too dedicated to my job? Moreover, our contract has ended, yet you continue to harass me. Isn't that a bit too much?""

As soon as she said that, everyone was in shock.

They previously assumed that Zendaya would reap many benefits by tagging along with Clifford.

However, such an employment contract changed things up.

"No way! Isn't it hilarious that Mr. Clifford forgot that he hired her?"

"So, she was getting paid monthly. No wonder she left so swiftly and decisively."
