Avery was so angry that she laughed. Staring at Mr. Colson, she said, “Why else do you think I’m wasting my time fighting with Sierra for a lousy promotional video, Mr. Colson? Do you think I have nothing better to do with my time?”

Beads of perspiration formed on Mr. Colson’s forehead as it slowly dawned on him. that this wasn’t as simple as battling for a role, this was two women fighting for at man!

Everyone else’s gaze on Sierra became increasingly complicated, and she was on the verge of exploding from frustration.

Banging her hand on the table, she stood up and pointed a finger at Avery, crying out, “Avery Green, is something wrong with you? Why the hell are you so hellbent on helping Josephine? What good will it do for you to go against me?”

“That’s up to me! Who do you think will take her side when even her husband isn’t. helping her? Do you think that everyone is as desperate as you to wantonly seduce another person’s husband and even flaunt it shamelessly in front of his wife? Josie isn’t as shameless as you are!”

Sierra, however, reacted as though her savior was finally here, limping over to him in a rush.

“Lewis! You’re finally here! Avery is picking on me as always!”

Avery was sickened by Sierra’s actions. “Stop acting so shamelessly. It’s disgusting.”

When Mr. Colson finally got over his shock at Lewis‘ presence in the office, he immediately gestured for him to enter. “Why have you come, Mr. Alvarez? Please.
