Next Man, Better Plan novel Chapter 82

Stephanie’s features were soft and clear, yet her words carried an undeniable weight. Serena had never seen this side of her and felt a flicker of fear.

“Besides, this is between me and Victoria. What does it have to do with you? You’re so eager to be her lapdog—did she throw you a bone?”

Serena’s face flushed. Being insulted in front of so many colleagues was humiliating. “How can you talk like that…” she retorted defensively.

Stephanie smiled. “This is how I talk.”

“You…”

Victoria pulled her back. “Serena, that’s enough. It’s all my fault. Please, stop. I don’t want you to get yelled at because of me.”

Serena immediately replied, “Victoria, don’t say that. You’re the innocent one here. I just couldn’t stand seeing her steal your boyfriend and then bully you. I was just standing up for what's right.”

Standing up for what's right? Stephanie found that amusing. Since when was Victoria on the side of justice?

Stephanie looked at her. “Victoria, do you need me to explain the situation with you and Quennel to everyone? Explain how you…”

“Stephanie!”

In a panic, Victoria cut her off.

She knew that if Stephanie exposed everything, her career at this company would be over.

Victoria asked, “Can we talk alone?”

Stephanie’s expression was icy. “I have nothing to talk to you about.”

Having known Stephanie for so long, Victoria understood her well. She knew that despite her tough exterior, Stephanie was soft-hearted and sentimental about their past.
