Loraine, you came into his life after me!”


    “Miss Torres, are you threatening my student in my presence?” Leopold asked, anger ring in his


    voice.


    With a sneer, Loraine retorted, “She spread a rumor that I failed in bribing her and nned to assault


    her. After hearing the recording, you should have known that Keely was lying. Could you trust a person


    so steeped in falsehood over the truth?”


    Leopold paused for a moment before responding solemnly, “I’m sorry, I apologize on her behalf. She


    shouldn’t have said those things to you. I believe Keely’s impulsivity stems from love. After all, love is


    her main source of inspiration. I hope you could forgive her, for my sake.”


    Loraine pursed her lips, her expression turning serious.


    Though she admired the esteemed designer, his high-handed insistence on her forgiving Keely rankled


    her immensely.


    She couldn’tprehend why he was so quick to absolve Keely and shift me elsewhere.

    With a smirk, Loraine retorted, “I’m afraid I can’t ept this insubstantial apology. I would prefer a


    personal apology from Keely.”


    In a panic, Keely turned to Leopold, stammering, “Professor…”

    already apologized on my behalf! You should be forgiving me!”


    Bolstered by Leopold’s presence, Keely used the opportunity to provoke


    Loraine again. This elicited an even more disgruntled look from


    Leopold.


    “In that case, we have nothing more to discuss. We’re Leaving.” Without giving Loraine a chance to


    retort, Leopold abruptly exited with Keely.


    “Hey! Wait! Don’t leave!” Klein, ncing between Loraine and the departing Leopold, sighed before


    deciding to follow them.


    As Loraine watched them leave, she was left standing alone, a frown furrowing her brows.


    Guid Meeti


    Leopold and Loraine’s meeting ended on a sour note, with no agreement in sight.


    When Loraine got back home, she received a call from Klein, who said with a sigh, “Keely must have


    said something bad about you in front of


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Professor Zizka. If things continue Like this, you may lose your chance to participate in the airport


    project.”


    Loraine’s response was one of nonchnce. She scoffed and countered,
