Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522 How to Refuse Someone

While Hank was taking that woman on a tour around his firm, Yelena had left in silence. When Hank turned back, he saw Summer standing at the reception alone, staring at him.

Noticing Hank looking at her, Summer looked at him as well. For the first time ever, there was no admiration in her eyes. There was disappointment and disdain.

Is that disdain I notice? Hank thought he was seeing things. When he tried to take a closer look, Summer had looked away and was staring at the entrance.

"Hank? What are you staring at, Hank?" The girl waved her hand in front of Hank's face, snapping him out of his stupor.

"Nothing. Let's go upstairs."

Cecelia waved her hand. "No. Someone's waiting for me. That concludes our appointment today. See you tomorrow, Mr. Damazio."

Hank looked away and nodded gently. "Sure. Go now. Drive safe."

"I know, I know. Bye now." Cecelia picked up her bag and walked off. When she reached the entrance, she asked Summer, "Who was that with you just now? She was staring at me."

Summer thought of Yelena as her friend. The fact that Cecelia was trying to act innocent got on her nerves. She snapped, "That's confidential. I cannot answer that, miss."

Surprised by Summer's snappish attitude, Cecelia smiled awkwardly at Hank. "Your employee can be quite the character."

Hank's face fell. "She needs more training."

Summer didn't care about his opinion.

Cecelia shrugged and left.

Then, Hank asked, "Why did you snap at her?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Mr. Damazio." Summer sorted out the files in her hand, refusing to answer.

Hank narrowed his eyes, frustration welling up in him. "Why did you snap at my client? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

"No. I just never took you for someone so heartless, but I thought wrong." Summer met Hank's gaze without fear. This was the first time she spoke to him that way, and she was ready to lose her job over this. This job was hard to get, it paid well, and she didn't have to do much. If I lose my job, you're going to have to support me, Yelena. I'm doing this for you.

Hank looked at her in disbelief. Summer had always been a smart, quiet girl. This wasn't the kind of attitude he expected from her. However, he realized Yelena had been chatting with her lately. It was normal if they became friends. She made an ally out of Summer in just a few days. That's surprising. "What do you mean I'm heartless?" He pursed his lips.

"You know what I mean."

"Did Yelena say something?" If she's already calling me heartless, there's no telling how much worse the critique is behind my back.
