A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"Who did this to you?" Consuela asked as she held Julia's hand. "Was it Terence or Jean?"

"I'm fine. It's just a scrape. I'll recover soon." Julia awkwardly withdrew her hand from Consuela's grip.

However, the more Consuela thought about Julia getting hurt, the angrier she got. Rolling her eyes, Consuela mumbled, "If I had known this happened, I would have taught him a lesson already."

"What did you say?" Julia turned to face Consuela; she hadn't heard what she had just said.

"Nothing." Still angry, Consuela snapped, "You've only been divorced for a few days. But you've already been in the hospital twice. Stop making me worry about you."

"I won't do that again." Julia sheepishly smiled, hoping that it would convince her.

"You got injured at this time." Consuela rebuked with anger. "How are you going to attend the party?

All the other actresses will be drop-dead gorgeous. But look at you—a wounded woman. I'm sure you'll be laughed at by the rest of the crowd."

"Party? What party?" Julia was stunned. She wasn't aware that there was a party taking place.

Consuela sighed in annoyance. "Didn't you ask me to arrange as much work for you as possible? Tonight's party will be attended by the biggest names in the entertainment industry. Other than the most famous celebrities, the most successful directors, hot-shot producers, and keen investors will be there as well. In summary, going to the party tonight will provide your career more opportunities. I just didn't expect that you would be injured on the day of the event.

Do you know how much effort I've spent to get you this invitation?"

"Consuela..." Julia said, her voice cracking. She reach out and held her agent's hand. "From now on, I will listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. Satisfied?"

"You naughty girl..." Consuela sighed in defeat. "If you had listened to me earlier, then things wouldn't have gone this far."
