?Chapter 1052:


    She waited outside, watching for Shelly to appear.


    Soon enough, Shelly showed up.


    Heidi hurried over, grabbing Shelly and trying to drag her away.


    Shelly was startled. “Security! Get her off me!”


    In a sharp whisper, she snapped at Heidi, “Didn’t I tell you not to show up here? What are you doing?”


    Heidi shouted, her fury spilling over, “I lost my job because of you! You’ve been ignoring me, iming you’re too busy. Do you want us both to lose everything?”


    Shelly’s expression faltered as the words hit her. She waved the security guards off and forced a smile. “Oh, I thought it was some crazy fan. Turns out it’s you. I’ve indeed been swampedtely. Why don’t you wait in my car? I’ll grab my things, and we can go grab a bite.” With that, Shelly walked inside. Heidi quickly followed. “I’ming with you.”


    Shelly’s face tightened with frustration, but she gave a strained smile. “Alright, let’s go.”


    Inside, she muttered curses under her breath. Heidi was more trouble than she was worth! Not only had Heidi lost her job, but she kept hounding her. She regretted ever getting involved with someone so useless.


    No matter where Shelly went, Heidi was right behind her, refusing to leave, even when Shelly tried to avoid her.


    Finally, with no way out, Shelly led Heidi to a restaurant, her mood dark.


    “Heidi, it’s not that I don’t want to help. I’m just buried in work, and there’s nothing I can do,” Shelly apologized after cing the order, her face filled with frustration.


    Heidi stared at her, unconvinced. “What about Mr. Burke? He can help me, can’t he?” She saw right through Shelly’s excuses.


    Norton had great sway in the city. If Shelly truly wanted to help, it would only take a word from her. She was clearly making excuses. It seemed like Shelly didn’t want to lend a hand at all.


    Shelly bit her lip. Heidi always brought up the most inconvenient topics. She hardly spoke to Norton herself, yet Heidi expected him to help?

    Shelly looked down, hiding her expression, then forced a smile and took a bite of her sd. “Norton’s swamped with work, and anyway, he’s not involved with yourpany.”


    She quickly shifted gears. “Don’t worry. Just give it some time, and I’ll see what I can do.”


    “Give it time? Yvonne’s already the section editor at Nature’s Essence. How much longer do you expect me to wait?”
