Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 459 An Accident

Just as Calista decided to ignore her and pass her by, Mirabelle suddenly asked in a hushed voice, "Could we step aside for a chat?"

Someone grabbed her arm in the hallway, so Calista had no choice but to turn around. She looked at Mirabelle somewhat helplessly and replied, "I really don't have anything to say to you."

Darren stood off to the side, somewhat perplexed. "Ms. Stafford, who is this?"

Before Calista could respond to him, Mirabelle had already drawn Calista's attention back to her.

"How could there be nothing to talk about? After all, we've known each other for over a decade. Or is it that you now feel too superior to exchange a few words with us ordinary folks?" Mirabelle asked.

Upon hearing Mirabelle's words, Darren felt a bit awkward standing off to the side. He responded with a smile, "Since Ms. Stafford has run into a familiar face, feel free to chat. I will wait for you in the conference room upstairs with the other experts."

After speaking, he tactfully led the others away.

Calista felt somewhat helpless. She actually hadn't wanted to converse with Mirabelle. Yet, Mirabelle seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now, Ms. Stafford, do you have some time to chat with me?" Mirabelle asked.

"What do you have to say?" Calista glanced at her. This former enemy of hers looked worn out then, her face pale and haggard. Though she was still dressed in white, she no longer had that graceful and innocent aura. She was more like an innocent woman who had been through hardships. There was also an indescribable gloominess between her brows.

"What's the rush? Oh, wait. You're quite the sensation now. Everyone out there is practically lifting you up to the heavens, so why would you have time for a small fry like me?"
