?Chapter 430:
Together, they examined the photo, their expressions turning to astonishment.
The content of the photo was indeed startling.
The image captured Alita in a hotel room with a man.
“That guy looks familiar. Some film director, maybe?” Elissa whispered.
“He’s actually a producer,” someone said.
“Ah.” Elissa acknowledged. “What a scandal!”
“It is, isn’t it?” another chimed in with a chuckle.
“Shut up!” Alita retorted, her eyes zing as she fixed her gaze on thementer.
“What? Did I say anything wrong? Maybe you were more than eager to be in hispany…”
“Shut your mouth, or I’ll do it for you!”
“Try me!”
Chaos erupted as they charged at each other.
Amidst themotion, a voice called out, “Enough, Alita! Break it up!”
“Ms. Nicolson…”
“Ms. Nicolson!”
nche and Ste approached, their expressions unreadable and stern.
The chatter in the room ceased immediately.
nche examined the photo handed to her by Elissa before scoffing coldly. “Alita, follow me.”
Alita responded stiffly, “Yes, Ms. Nicolson.” As they departed, murmurs filled the room.
“What will Ms. Nicolson do with her?”
“Surely, she’ll let her go.”
“That’s a bit severe, isn’t it?”
“Severe? Ms. Nicolson has zero tolerance for mixing personal affairs with professional ones.”
“Remember Hadley’s past troubles? Alita would need simr talents to bounce back from this.”
“And really, Alita’s behavior is appalling.”
Taking side gigs was already frowned upon. Now, caught with a producer, the scandal was too much.
Hadley, still feeling unwell, had no patience for the gossip. “Elissa, let’s return to our room.”
“Sure.”
What would be of Alita?
Later that evening, as Hadley and Elissa headed out for dinner, they noticed Alita wheeling a suitcase out of her room.
Could this be true?
As expected, Alita had been dismissed.
“Humph.” With a resentful re, Alita confronted Hadley. “Are you happy now?”
Confused, Hadley responded, “Why would I be happy about your firing?”
