Chapter 779 Can I Have Another Chance?

Zoe maintained an expressionless gaze as she retorted, "If you're unwell, go to the hospital. Don't try to create a scene here."

However, the woman provocatively threw the necklace on the ground and responded, "You run a business here, yet you seem afraid of your customers finding fault in your designs? If you're so sensitive, you might as well go home and spare us the embarrassment."

Before Zoe could respond, Leanna swiftly approached the woman. She commanded, "Pick up the necklace." Yet, the woman remained unfazed. She met Leanna's intense gaze, crossed her arms, and scoffed, "Who do you think you are? Trying to show off? You're not even worthy—"

Before the woman could complete her sentence, Leanna grabbed a cup and mercilessly splashed the coffee in it onto the woman's face.

"Ahhhhhhh—" The woman screamed frantically, her eyes widening in disbelief as the coffee dripped down from her head. As she trembled with anger, she also instantly became the center of attention for the surrounding customers. "You… you..." Her shock rendered her unable to form a complete sentence.

Nevertheless, Leanna maintained her composure in the face of the enraged woman and calmly stated, "I repeat. Pick it up."

The woman glanced up, feeling the weight of all eyes upon her. It would be false to say that she wasn't embarrassed. She tightly clutched her belongings in anger and attempted to leave.

Unfortunately, Zoe promptly blocked her path as soon as she took a step. "You made quite a scene earlier, but now you choose to pretend to be deaf?"

Finally, the woman cursed at Zoe, "Y-You're a motherf*cker! I'm going to take this up to the authorities!"

Nevertheless, Leanna remained calm as she responded nonchalantly, "Sure, I'll be waiting for you, then." The woman tried to leave, but her path was blocked from every direction. She clenched her teeth in frustration, quickly squatted down, picked up the necklace, and threw it onto a nearby counter with a thud. Then, she briskly walked away with her bag.

Leanna turned to the employees behind her. "Clean this up." The employees promptly responded. Some went to fetch a mop while others tried to reassure the customers who had formed a circle around them.

Leanna pulled Zoe into the office, and as soon as they were alone, Leanna inquired, "Was that Brandon's ex?"

Zoe nodded lightly in response. "You bet. I didn't expect to see her here. I'm sorry, Leanna."

However, Leanna wasn't pleased that it was Zoe who apologized. "What are you apologizing to me for? Go and clarify things with Brandon."

Zoe tightly pursed her lips in response to Leanna's mention of the matter. "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Leanna questioned, "Have you figured out what to say, though?"

"I..."

Leanna observed Zoe's hesitation and laid out a plan for her, saying, "Just explain what happened. Someone recorded the incident, so send the video directly to Brandon without any additional comments. Don't waste your time."

Zoe didn't want to waste time arguing with Brandon about the issue either, so she naturally agreed with Leanna's plan. Therefore, she returned to her office, forwarded the video that Leanna had sent her to Brandon without any additional message, and then set her phone aside to focus on her work.

About an hour later, as Zoe was preparing to leave with her photography equipment, Brandon appeared at the entrance. Clearly, he had hurried over since he looked slightly flustered and anxious.

"Zoe, can we talk privately?" he requested.

Zoe briefly glanced at her phone and noticed many missed calls from him. He quickly pleaded with her as she did not seem to show any emotions, "Just give me five minutes, please!"

She handed her belongings to her assistant upon hearing his plea and instructed, "Wait for me in the car."

Once the other staff members had left, Brandon hurriedly continued, "I'm really sorry about what happened today. I never expected her to come looking for you. Zoe, I apologize on her behalf. I—"

Zoe interrupted him and questioned, "No need to apologize. I'm simply wondering how she found out about our studio's address."

His face stiffened at her question, and since he didn't respond, she continued her criticism. "Since we've been together, you should have met her multiple times. It seems like you shared everything with her."

"Yes..." he stammered and confessed. "We did meet a few times, but it's not what you think."

She shrugged indifferently. "Well, I suppose. It's just hard for you to let go of the past. You felt guilty, so you went to accompany her—sitting together, chatting, having a drink, reminiscing about the past. I understand the pain of unrequited love, but at the very least, you should respect me. I'm not a substitute for your lost love. By the way, the sushi we had yesterday was God awful."

"Zoe—"

Once again, Zoe bluntly interrupted him, "There's a reason why your parents disapprove of you being with her. Having someone like her at home would definitely create unrest in the family."

Her words seemed to strike a nerve that he frowned. "You don't have to put it so harshly."
