Chapter 110
Eliana spun around, mumbling at Theodore, “I’m stuffed
“You’ve had a few bites. That’s stuffed?” The thought of her rushing for another guy put a bite in his tone. “Sit your ass down!*
“Eliana, do as Theodore says,” Barbara chimed in unexpectedly, since she’d never accepted Eliana before. “Whoever was by his side before is ancient history. You’re the one he cares about now.”
Alice’s smile froze mid–rise.
Thanks to Barbara’s words, Eliana grudgingly reseated herself, though the food might as well have been cardboard.
Long story short, the meal was a buzzkill for everyone.
Once Eliana and Anthony left for work, Alice couldn’t hold back. She approached Theodore, excitement leaking through. “Theodore, did you order this breakfast specially for me?”
Theodore shot her a cold look, like he was wondering where she got that delusion.
His stare made Alice’s confidence wilt. “N–no? I thought… I was the only one in this house who went nuts for Joyful Kitchen
In reply, Theodore dropped a bomb that incinerated her hopes. “Rein it in.”
He shouldered past her, leaving Alice rooted to the spot.
Then Barbara sidled up from behind. “Tsk, hear that? Theodore told you to knock it off. Stop acting like a hussy.”
Alice’s lips quivered with rage. “Barbie, I was just having a normal conversation. Why be such a bitch?”
Barbara cocked her chin, sneering, “I’m a bitch because you’re a disgrace. Wanna know why I’d take Eliana over you? At least she keeps her head down and doesn’t stir the pot.”
“She keeps her head down?” The day’s embarrassment pushed Alice over the edge. “No, you’re dead wrong. Eliana’s had her eye on someone else all along. She couldn’t care less about Theodore!”
“No way!” Barbara thought, ‘Eliana resisted Anthony’s flirty hints, and that alone makes her leagues better than Alice.‘
“Think what you want, but I’ll prove it.” Alice whirled around and stalked off.
A scheme clicked in her head–Since Eliana and Hannah didn’t get along, she’d use Hannah to her advantage.
At Starlight Media, Eliana slammed into Raphael’s dressing room and plopped the takeout on his table. “Microwaved it in the office. Eat up.”
Raphael, glued to his phone, glanced up and scrutinized the packaging. Spotting the Joyful Kitchen logo, he smirked. “You actually scored this?”
“Yeah, obviously.”
That sealed it for Raphael–Eliana had powerful connections. ‘But who’s pulling the strings? Anyway, it must be a big shot,‘ he thought.
Once Raphael finished stuffing his face, Eliana blurted, “Let’s go. Time to head to Mr. Yates‘ place for the product trial.”
Raphael leaned back and drawled, “Relax. I’m still full.”
Chapter 110
“It’s almost ten. If we wait any longer, it’ll be lunchtime.
When he didn’t budge, she exploded. “Show some professionalism, will you?”
He sneered, “I do what I want. If you can’t stand it, find another celeb to endorse the
Eliana shot back, “You’re right. I never should’ve pitched you to Mr. Yates. Any random no
entertainer at the company would be more obedient

Raphael’s eyes narrowed. “What’s your relationship with Felix? One word from you, and he handed this morning was Felix?”
“Shut up! Stop making baseless accusations.” Eliana seethed.
“Heh.” Raphael cackled, slapping the table. “So you’ve got a side piece?”
the deal. Don’t tell me… the guy you were with
He started counting on his fingers. “Wait, there’s Nolan, Felix, and some mystery guy. Not bad for a plain Jane. You’re a pro at snagging sugar daddies.
“Can’t hold a candle to you. Thrusting your hips and licking your lips on stage? So sleazy. With your looks, you must score rich dudes every time.
To be fair, Raphael had major stage charisma as an idol, but since he kept judging her, she had to clap back.
“Shut your mouth!” Raphael hated being called sleazy. Eliana might as well have called him a gigolo to his face.
Thankfully, his manager, Ed, jumped in. “Raphael, chill. Don’t fight with a kid.”
Then he added in a whisper, “Plus, it’s getting late. Let’s knock this out so we can ditch her.”
Raphael huffed but didn’t protest.
As the three headed out, they bumped into Hannah.
She’d drunk till dawn and woke up late, but Nolan—her cash cow–got her out of bed. ‘I have to fix things with him,‘ she thought.
Seeing Eliana and Raphael together, Hannah went from shocked to pissed. “Raphael, what the hell are you doing with her?”
“Hannah, I…” Raphael tried to explain.
Since Raphael and Nolan were buddies, he naturally hung out with Hannah, Nolan’s girl.
That was why he turned on Eliana hard when he heard she was messing with Hannah and Nolan’s relationship.
“Don’t tell me even you fell for her crap?” Hannah roared.
Hannah was out of her mind. First Theodore tricked her yesterday, then Nolan dumped her–all because of Eliana.
“No, Hannah, it’s not like that.” Raphael tried to defend himself, but the words stuck in his throat.
“Hannah, what the hell’s your issue?” Eliana frowned.
This wasn’t the Hannah she knew. Usually Hannah hid her hate behind a fake smile, but today she didn’t bother pretending.
“Yeah, I’m losing my mind, and you’re the one who pushed me over the edge. You made Nolan break up with me, you goddamn bitch! Why don’t you just drop dead?” Hannah’s eyes were bloodshot as she screamed, then she launched herself at Eliana.
Raphael grabbed her arms and pulled her back. “Hannah, get a grip!”
He spun to Eliana, shouting, “Say something! Just apologize or calm her down.”
