Mason listened to their back-and-forth, his brow slightly furrowed as he looked at Bella Green, tenderly ruffling her fluffy little head.
"If you’re tired, just sleep a bit more. Don’t pay attention to irrelevant people."
The affectionate gesture and words towards Bella Green, along with that "irrelevant people" comment, starkly contrasted.
Joanne Jordan’s face turned a few shades paler.
She looked at Mason, but the man didn’t give her a glance from start to finish.
Bella Green also ignored her, only mumbling a sleepy response and leaning back on the man’s shoulder to sleep again.
To Joanne, this display was defiant, as if not giving her any importance.
Hitting a wall, Joanne felt reluctant but couldn’t continue to disturb them and walked over to sit elsewhere.
Today, she acted impulsively, not expecting Bella Green to be by Mason’s side.
But...
Weren’t they broken up?
Joanne looked curiously at the close pair, scrutinizing them.
Bella Green seems to be even more complicated than she thought.
"Jojo, wasn’t that Bella Green just now? She’s actually dating someone? Her popularity is quite high lately, I’ve heard she’s already a contender for the Four Little Flowers."
The assistant beside her spoke while watching Bella Green.
Joanne’s expression darkened slightly, casting a cold glance at her.
Noticing Joanne’s gaze, the little assistant was startled. Joanne has high popularity and arrogance, and in private, she’s quite difficult to get along with.
She is the assistant, the one who interacts the most, but even privately, the sense of distance Joanne gives is strong.
Seeing that she’s displeased, the little assistant immediately changed her tone.
"This news might not even be true. Maybe Bella Green herself paid for it to trend, after all, she doesn’t even have a proper work, just played a minor supporting role that can’t be showcased."
Joanne’s expression slightly improved.
The little assistant’s eyes lit up at this, eager to continue.
She directly took out her phone, sneakily snapping a few photos of Bella Green and Mason.
"This Bella Green’s inexplicable fame, she’s even signed onto the major production Ninefold of Immortal Mountain. There must be someone backing her, and that could be her sugar daddy. Jojo, once I send these photos to the journalists, it’ll ruin her."
The little assistant spoke, extremely excited.
Because not only could this please Joanne, but she could also gain substantial benefits from the journalists.
After all, Bella Green is quite a hot topic lately...
Upon hearing this, Joanne sharply turned her head, looking at the photos on her assistant’s phone, her eyes burning with anger, immediately shouting.
"Delete them!"
The shout shocked the little assistant, and she lost grip of her phone, dropping it to the ground.
Just as she was about to pick it up, her hand hadn’t touched the phone yet when a high-heeled boot landed on it, the heel pressing down forcefully.
The screen instantly cracked into a web of lines, blinking twice before going dark, losing all light.
The little assistant was heartbroken, tears almost flowing.
"Jojo, my phone, my phone." She anxiously said.
Joanne slowly lifted her foot, chuckling, "So sorry, I didn’t notice."
The little assistant’s eyes turned red with heartbreak, yet she dared not say anything.
"Do your own duties properly, mind less about others’ affairs, understood?" Joanne said leisurely.
The little assistant nodded with her head lowered, tears of grievance falling.
Her salary isn’t high, yet to save face, she uses the most popular fruit phone, which costs over ten thousand.
And with that one step from Joanne, it was ruined.
How could she not feel heartache?
Clearly, since Joanne despises Bella Green, she was just trying to stand up for her.
What did she do wrong?
