Chapter 132 Get To Work

• Michelle started complaining about my mistakes—arriving at work late, leaving work before time was up, lazing around without contributing to MIX—which were all trivial matters. I finally realized that when someone despised you, whatever you do or say would be annoying to that person.
• Sighing exasperatedly, I spoke calmly. “I know you don't like me, but we're here to work and earn money. We're all the same. Why are you being harsh? Mr. Adler and I are innocent, but you insisted I was his lover. Is that my fault?” I couldn't stop the bitterness from spreading in my heart at the thought of Augustus abandoning me here.
• Previously, though Augustus never defended me in public, his every action showed how protective he was of me. Looks like he'll never stand up for me ever again.
