Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Carit Afford Me Now
Chapter 88 Ruining Herself
“Hey!” Hadley let out a short laugh, beyond frustrated. “So be it! Eric can do whatever he wants. I’ve got my own path to tread,” she muttered to herself.
Reaching her destination, Hadley stepped off the bus and made her way into the office tower, where the dance
studio awaited on the fifth floor.
Upon entering the elevator, she was immediately greeted by a familiar voice.
“Hadley?”
Looking ahead, Hadley saw Linda beaming at her. “Fancy meeting you here. It’s been ages.”
Hadley offered her only a fleeting look and remained silent.
Linda’s smile quickly faded, replaced by a scornful tone. “Really, not even a hi? I said hello, can’t you at least acknowledge that?”
Facing Linda squarely, Hadley replied, “Save your courtesies. There’s no need for pretenses. Eric isn’t here, and Nyla isn’t either… Who are you trying to impress?”
“You-”
Interrupting the other woman, Hadley cocked her head. “Or is it that you’ve been pretending for so long, you’ve convinced yourself you’re genuinely decent? That must be exhausting.”
“You-”
Linda’s face went pale, and then turned red with anger.
With a dismissive scoff, she retorted sharply, “You’re here for an interview, correct?”
A smug grin crept over Linda’s face. “Well, I’d suggest you stop wasting your time. Because in Srixby… you won’t find a job.”
Hadley stopped in her tracks. “What do you mean by that?”
“What do I mean?” Linda folded her arms with a smirk, enjoying the moment. “Isn’t it obvious? Do you not see how dire your situation is?”
She looked Hadley up and down with clear disdain. “While I won’t critique your talents, you did graduate from an esteemed arts college in Blathe. Is it possible you’re so inept that no one will employ you?”
Frustration furrowed Hadley’s brow. “What are you trying to say?”
Her patience was wearing thin. It was apparent Linda was toying with her.

“Just get to the point, or drop it.”
“Alright, I’ll explain,” Linda said, her smirk growing. “It’s Eric’s doing–every venue in Srizby related to dance has been instructed not to hire you.”
Hadley gasped, disbelief setting in. This couldn’t be happening…
