"This is the ladies'. Why would your husband be in there?" Naya replied politely.
"Since it's the ladies' room, why am I not allowed to enter?" Lola threw the question back to Naya.
"Miss Wigston is injured and should not be disturbed. You can go in once she comes out."
Naya did not want to let Alia and Lola in for fear that they would pick on Carla, so she blocked them from entering the washroom.
"Lola, let's head back first. We shouldn't be kicking up a fuss at an event like this… "
Alia tried to persuade her daughter to let it slide, but her words fell on deaf ears. Once Lola knew that Carla was inside the toilet as well, she grew even more agitated…
"I knew it! That slut Carla is trying to seduce my darling again." Lola tried to barge in as she yelled, "Get out of my way!"
"Please respect yourself!" Naya shot a sharp and cold glance at the hysteric woman.
"A servant like you does not have any right to speak to me, " Lola said in an arrogant tone as she extended her hand, intending to push Naya away.
However, Naya caught her hand swiftly and pushed her away instead.
The woman staggered and almost fell onto the ground.
Luckily, Alia held on to Lola in time, preventing her from falling.
But the latter ended up spraining her ankle, and her face went pale. Furious, she yelled, "You b_tch! How dare you push me? Do you know who my husband is?"
"Why would I care who your husband is? If you carry on raising a ruckus here, don't blame me for being harsh, " Naya bellowed.
"Who exactly are you? What an arrogant b_tch!"
Alia could not help but feel agitated as well upon seeing how her daughter was injured. She dashed forward, about to strike Naya.
The latter narrowed her eyes dangerously as she prepared herself to make a move to defend herself…
"Stop it!" someone yelled.
Alia and Lola stopped their actions abruptly. Just then, Harry walked out of the gents and frowned at his wife. "What trouble are you stirring again?"
"Harry, are you having a rendezvous with Carla… "
"Let's not talk about such matter first, " Alia interrupted her and pointed at Naya. "Harry, this woman tried to hit Lola just now!"
Harry turned to look at Naya but did not chide her for anything. Instead, he bowed and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Dr. Langhan. My wife was being rude."
Alia and Lola were shocked by Harry's gesture as they did not expect the man to respond in such a manner.
"There's no need for such things, Mr. Stayton." Naya smiled politely and replied, "It's best not to create any unwanted attention at the auction venue. It wouldn't be pleasant if Mr. Giblo gets upset by it."
"Of course."
"Harry, why are you… "
"Keep quiet, " The man cut Lola off and lowered his voice as he reprimanded her, "Why did you pick a fight with her when you know that she's working for Mr. Giblo?"
"She's just a servant… " Lola felt immensely insulted and was so upset that she burst out in tears. "Am I worse than a servant of Mr. Giblo?"
"You are."
An arrogant voice suddenly sounded, and the atmosphere turned so chilling that it felt as if the temperature had dropped a few degrees.
When Lola looked up and saw Zayn, she felt instantly threatened by his commanding aura. Feeling flustered, she curled up into her mother's arms and held her breath.
Alia was also feeling very nervous as she hugged her daughter while retreating behind Harry.
"Mr. Giblo, " Naya bowed, greeting Zayn respectfully.
The man beckoned her to look behind by pointing with his chin.
Naya turned around and realized that Carla had already come out from the ladies' and was witnessing the scene by the door.
The doctor quickly stepped towards the woman and supported her.
"I'm so sorry that my wife has disturbed you, Mr. Giblo. When we go back, I'll definitely teach her… some proper manners."
When Harry was in the midst of apologizing, Naya and Carla approached Zayn's side.
Harry paused for a moment while he looked at Carla with a mixture of emotions stirring in his eyes, but very quickly, he diverted his gaze.
"Mr. Giblo, it was a misunderstanding just now. We all had a misunderstanding, " Reading the situation well, Alia immediately clarified with a smile, "We didn't know that this… " She pointed at Naya before continuing, "lady works for you."
The next instant, Alia lowered her head towards Naya and apologized. "Dr. Langhan, we're so sorry. We offended you without knowing who you are. Please accept my sincere apologies!"
"Mom… " Lola was trembling with rage.
Seeing Alia lower herself to apologize in such a situation, Carla couldn't help but applaud the woman silently in her heart. This woman sure knows when to give in. With this quality, it wouldn't be a surprise if she manages to achieve great things!
