The people nearby jumped in surprise, shocked to see Raymond Ford losing control.
Leah Young swallowed her frustration and forcefully dragged Raymond Ford to a more secluded spot.
"Raymond, don't be like this. If anyone sees you, there's no telling how they'll laugh and talk about you behind your back."
"Laugh at what? Talk about what? I just don't have Melody Monroe's connections! The person backing her isn't Rose Shaw, it's President Sterling! How can I compete with her? What do I have to compete with?!" Raymond Ford had all but lost his mind.
"That's exactly why you can't say it out loud!" Leah Young whispered urgently. She was worried, too.
'Acting like this... Raymond Ford's career is probably over.'

After Melody Monroe finished her photoshoot, she checked the time. It was just past eleven, so she had plenty of time to spare.
"Melody." Rose Shaw's voice came from behind her.
Melody Monroe quickly turned and asked in surprise, "Rose, what are you doing here?"
