She laughed bitterly, "Very well, Ms. Joanna, I hope that Director White's interest in you continues to increase and never lessens. Otherwise... Huh..."
Perhaps out of respect for Maddox Allenson's presence and for the sake of preserving her own image, she abruptly stopped speaking, huffed coldly, then turned around and left.
"I'm sorry, Joanna."
Once Lisha Alcock had left, Nina looked worried, "It's all my fault. I brought trouble upon you."
"What are we going to do? Lisha seems really mad. Will she deliberately try to cause trouble for you?"
"Joanna, I'm really sorry. I can't believe I got you into such trouble."
Regret filled Nina's eyes, and she was on the verge of tears.
Joanna Lawrence consoled her by lightly patting her shoulder, "It's not your fault. Even if you hadn't said those words, she would still try to make things difficult for me."
The root of the problem was Gary White.
So, whether or not Nina had said those words, the outcome would have remained the same.
