Zaya seemed to realize she had messed up. She had snapped at her boss's wife and even worse, she had insulted Irene.
"I'm so sorry!" Zaya immediately bowed her head. "I'm not in the right state of mind right now, and I ended up taking my frustration out on you."
Irene was taken aback. She hadn't expected Zaya to admit her mistake so quickly. Most people would have let their anger get the better of them in a situation like this, but Zaya had apologized right away.
She really was a hidden gem of humanity.
"Just remember what I said earlier," Irene said firmly. "I meant it. You can't trust everyone in this place. And about your family... I'll ask Sebastian to find a way to let them know you're safe."
Zaya's expression softened at the mention of her family. "I don't know how I'll ever repay you and Mr. Delacroix."
"You can repay us once you become a supermodel again, Zaya Nyx." Irene smiled and turned to leave. "Well, I should get going now."
