    Chapter 78 In Hot Water


    While Gianna could see what was happening over there, she couldn’t hear what was being said.


    However, she was still rather surprised. Why didn’t Aleena stay longer with Ss? “Gianna, you should


    go and greet Ss as well. After all, it’s somewhat impolite to not greet him since you’ve seen him. As


    my face is now bruised, however, I won’t be apanying you over,” Kate remarked. ncing at


    Ss, Gianna noticed that he was still surrounded by a crowd, so she replied, “Never mind, I’ll wait for


    you before going over,”


    “Why would you wait for me? How am I to go over with such a face?” Gianna shot her a re.


    “Excuses! With such simple thinking, I worry about the future of your magazine.” Being an astute


    person herself, a moment of rity instantly came upon Kate as a light bulb went off in her head at


    Gianna’s reminder. Ss Nn’s influence is even greater than any celebrity or big shot! Pursing her


    lips, she smirked. “Is this appropriate?” Gianna shot daggers at her. “We’re just going over to greet him,


    not doing anything grievous. What’s inappropriate about that?” As she said that, she raised Kate’s chin,


    “Let me have a look. Hmm, it’s much better now. Just go and touch up your makeup for a bit!” It made


    sense to Kate, so she got up and went to the washroom with Gianna to touch up her makeup. When


    she came out, her makeup was exquisite, and her bruising wasn’t at all visible unless one truly


    scrutinized her face. At this time, there was still a crowd around Ss, including those few women who


    spoke up on Luca’s behalf earlier. Perhaps it was because it was too abrupt that they were heading


    right at Ss or their fuss earlier had attracted attention, but everyone was looking at them at this


    moment. While Gianna wasn’t afraid of the scrutiny, she was rather unused to such attention. Leading


    Kate, she moved through the crowd and came to the lounge in the lobby. Then, she courteously


    greeted the man who was sitting in the middle of the sofa and radiating a strong aura, “Mr. Nn.”


    Everyone was a touch startled upon hearing this, the look in the women’s eyes brimming with


    contempt. These two people wish to make friends with Ss Nn as well despite having no poprity,


    background, or repute? He has already crushed Miss Jones earlier, so these twodies are just thick-


    skinned, A glimmer of surprise and even delight flitted across Ss’s eyes. I never thought I’d meet herThis text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    here. “Miss Aubrey!” Kate was a tad more nervouspared to Gianna, and she dipped her head a


    fraction at Ss. “Mr. Nn.” Ss politely inclined his head at her in response. Everyone was


    dumbfounded. What’s happening here? They’re actually acquainted? “Come and sit over here!” Ss


    beckoned the two of them. Sit? Where are we supposed to sit? Naturally, they were to sit beside him,


    so Logan again stood up perceptively, but Ss didn’t protest this time. Thus, everyone promptly got up


    like a chain reaction and emptied two spots beside him. Gianna inclined her head slightly at the crowd


    and was just a moment away from sitting down while tugging on Kate’s hand when a woman’s forceful


    voice rang out at this time. “Who hit my brother?” At this, everyone looked over in the direction of the


    voice. A wealthy-looking woman in a branded dress who appeared to be in her 40s was striding in their


    direction, her aura fierce and intimidating. Meanwhile, the man trailing behind her was none other than


    Luca who’d been kicked to the ground by Gianna earlier. Gianna’s brows furrowed slightly. Never have


    I thought this man would actually ask a woman toe and avenge him. Damn, he’s not a man at all!


    The disdain within her showed on her face. Instead of sitting down on the sofa, she remained standing


    as she stared at the fast-approaching woman. Kate whispered, “This woman is the president of Grant


    Group, Harriet Grant. She’s a career woman who’s been single ever since her divorce. We’re in hot


    water this time, for this woman is so tough that even most men don’t dare provoke her.” Gianna nodded


    imperceptibly. Ss didn’t move, but his brows creased slightly as he kept his eyes on Gianna’s


    situation.
