    Chapter 82 Keep Your Distance From Her


    Ss was a touch surprised, for he’d thought that Marcus Cohen would utter a few imploring remarks.


    While he couldn’t have changed his mind, he had to answer the call for Gianna’s sake. I didn’t expect


    Marcus Cohen to be such a straightforward person that he gave his artist up without even asking what


    had transpired. The corners of his mouth lifted a fraction. “Sure. Let’s get together sometime.”


    Marcus’ voice drifted out of the phone. “Okay. I’ll leave you to do your work first, then.”


    The corners of Gianna’s mouth twitched unbidden. This cousin of mine is really smart. He’s making his


    stance clear to Ss Nn when I’ve obviously rted everything to him via WhatsApp. She


    deliberately had Luca make this call so that he would harbor no illusions. Metrostar Entertainment


    couldn’t possibly allow an artist of his character to stay since he’d started puffing up before even


    achieving anything much.


    After hearing the exchange, Luca’s eyes rolled back into his head, and he almost passed out from


    fright. He persisted in apologizing while bowing. “President Nn, I’m sorry. Ladies, I’m sorry. I’ve


    realized my wrongdoing now.”


    Gianna threw him a cid nce and remarked indifferently, “How did Metrostar Entertainment


    produce such trash like you?” After saying that, she turned and looked at Ss. “President Nn, since


    he has been fired by Metrostar Entertainment, he’s been suitably punished after all. So, let’s just drop it


    at this.”


    “Is this even punishment? The two of you are fine only because he was impeded by the situation, not


    because he has repented and decided not to take it further,” Ssmented cidly.


    Sighing, Gianna replied, “I know. If you hadn’t been here today, the ramifications might have been


    disastrous for me and Kate, but it’s tantamount to career suicide now that something like this happened


    to him at the height of his career. Thus, I don’t want to pursue this matter further.” Harriet was also a


    tad worried. While she hadn’t raised a hand against them, her attitude earlier was one of retaliation, so


    it was a matter of a word from Ss if he wanted payback from her. Hence, she promptly said to


    Gianna, “Miss Aubrey, I’m really sorry. I mistakenly took Luca’s words for the truth and thought that he


    was bullied. I then wanted to retaliate on his behalf without having understood the truth, so I owe you


    an apology as well.” Looking at her, Gianna took a deep breath. “As I said, we both wanted to retaliate


    on behalf of our friends, so I don’t mind. I just have a kind reminder for you-not everyone is worthy to


    be considered a friend. Some people aren’t deserving of your kindness!”


    Harriet nodded, “You’re right. I still need to improve my judgment of others,” she hurriedly replied.


    Gianna inclined her head slightly without saying anything further.


    Ss nced at Luca, who appeared to be amb awaiting ughter, his gaze nk and helpless. “I’ll


    let you off this time for Miss Aubrey’s sake, but keep your distance from her in future.”


    Almost bursting into tears from the immense joy, Luca bowed low to him as though he’d been granted


    amnesty. “Thank you, President Nn! Thank you,dies!” Aleena, who’d witnessed the entire debacle


    from a corner, gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. Why is there such a big difference in


    his attitude? I wanted to sit with him, but he disdained me. When Gianna Aubrey went over, however,


    he promptly called her over to have a seat and even helped to avenge her, getting into a snit for her


    sake. Why?! like him so much! How am I inferior to her? Her nails unconsciously dug into her flesh, but


    she didn’t feel any pain, her eyes brimming with undisguised hatred. “Aleena, who’s that woman? Why


    does Ss seem so protective of her?” The woman beside her stared at them in bafflement.


    Aleena snorted. “Protective? Not at all. She just knows some medical skills and happened to have


    saved Ss’s grandfather, so Ss regards her quite highly.”


    “No matter the reason, there’ll be sparks if she keeps putting herself into Ss’s path, so you can’t just


    sit around and do nothing,” the woman urged.
