Chapter 36

Suddenly, Charlotte cut me off mid-sentence. She shouted, "How dare you disrespect my friend like that? You're not welcome here anymore! Get out!"

The room fell into silence at her words. However, Lucas was unfazed and chimed in with a smug tone, "Wow, imagine being so shameless that you'd stick around even after being told to leave."

These past few days, I helped her handle the Arnoult Group issue, but she turned against me. Then, I offered her some fruits, only for them to be thrown out.

I could not blame her for the first incident since I had chosen to keep things under wraps, but this second slight was unforgivable. Charlotte knew perfectly well that I had brought those fruits, and she had heard her friend provoke me first, yet she still chose to treat me unfairly.

It would be pathetic to keep trying to please her after this, letting her treat me coldly while I remained warm and friendly. When I left, Benjamin and Liam followed me out, while Matthew stayed behind with his girlfriend-which I understood completely.
