I quickly reached out to stop her hand from falling, but to my surprise, Anna moved with remarkable agility, swiftly raising her other hand and slapping me hard across the face. The force of the slap was enough to make my vision blur and my head buzz. I had no time to react, and my body instinctively stumbled backward until my waist hit the edge of the sink, barely stabilizing myself.
I covered my stinging cheek in disbelief, staring at the woman before me. However, what shocked me even more was that Anna unhesitatingly raised her hand and slapped herself twice with loud, crisp sounds. Then she tore at her skirt and began to scream hysterically like a madwoman, "How can you hit me like this! I’ve already said I will never compete with you for Shen again!"
At that moment, I caught sight of Shen Yulin and Mr. Staff approaching us. Mr. Staff's face was frighteningly dark, while Shen Yulin looked astonished and confused. "What are you doing?" Shen Yulin shouted angrily.
Tears sparkled in Anna's eyes, sliding down her cheeks like pearls. Her lips trembled as tears flowed out like a flood breaking through a dam, evoking a sense of pity. She leaned forward uncontrollably as if losing her support, throwing herself into Shen Yulin's arms. "Shen, your wife hit me!" Anna's voice was choked with sobs, her gaze filled with helplessness as if seeking comfort from Shen Yulin.
However, Shen Yulin frowned, his expression grave. When Anna lunged at him, he quickly sidestepped to avoid her embrace. He then walked briskly toward me, and upon seeing the bright red handprint on my face, his expression darkened to an extreme degree.
He turned to Mr. Staff with a cold gaze and an even colder tone: "Your people are your responsibility. If you can't manage them well, I don't mind stepping in."
Anna stood beside Mr. Staff, sobbing while pitifully saying, "Brother, they are bullying me."
Mr. Staff glanced at her and replied nonchalantly, "Whether it's bullying or not, you know in your heart. Anna, don’t think I don’t know how that handprint on your face came about."
Anna widened her eyes in disbelief at Mr. Staff and trembled as she asked, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Mr. Staff snorted disdainfully as if looking at an idiot and mocked her: "Only when you slap yourself does your thumb point downward! What do you think?" After saying this, he ignored Anna and turned back to the private room. Frustrated, Anna stomped her foot and followed him out.
Shen Yulin wrapped his arms around me and softly asked, "Aside from the slap on your face, are you really okay elsewhere?" I shook my head and grabbed his sleeve, asking, "Will this affect your collaboration with Mr. Staff?"
Shen Yulin was taken aback by my question but then laughed after a moment: "I am his big boss; what do you think?"
Once we returned to the private room, Anna was sitting quietly next to Mr. Staff, eating silently without saying another word. Mr. Staff looked apologetic as he gazed at me and said, "Madam, my daughter is willful and mischievous; if she has offended you in any way, I hope you can forgive her! Hereby, I apologize on her behalf and sincerely ask for your understanding of her mistakes."
