What was the point of deleting her post on Facebook? The fact that CC was Claudia had already become the trending topic on Twitter.

This undoubtedly meant that Kayla had made a fool of herself.

After that day, she refused many people's invitations with work as her excuse.

Unexpectedly, the first time she went out again, she ran into Claudia.

Kayla gritted her teeth, forced a smile, and started, "Miss Marshall."

Hearing this, Aurora said unhappily, "Miss Bryant, are you crazy or simply playing dumb? Cece is a married woman, yet you keep calling her Miss

Marshall. You know she's Bennett's wife, right? Why can't you address her properly as Mrs. Dreskin? Every time you see my friend, you call her Miss Marshall. You also call her like that in front of Mr. Dreskin. Why? Don't you have some basic manners

Kayla turned pale upon hearing Aurora's words. She replied, "You misunderstand me, Miss Haywood. I just think that it would seem that she is older if I call her Mrs. Dreskin. Of course, Miss Marshall, if you'd like me to address you as Mrs. Dreskin, I would respect your choice."

Claudia looked at her and smiled.

“I would appreciate it if you could call me Mrs. Dreskin, Miss Bryant. After all, you're a friend of Bennett's. Addressing me as Miss Marshall wouldn't be appropriate."

“Of course. You're right, Mrs. Dreskin,"

Unable to endure the feeling of embarrassment any longer, Kayla pursed her lips and said, “I won't keep you and your friend anymore, Mrs, Dreskin. I'm leaving with my friends now."

Claudia raised her eyebrows and said, "Wait, Miss Bryant. Before you go, I would Like to apologize to you. I haven't told you before that I am CC because I've never thought of making my identity public

Speaking of this, Claudia paused, took a meaningful look at Kayla, and continued, "If it weren't for that staff member's carelessness that day, my mask wouldn't have fallen off. I hope you won't think too much."

She certainly struck a raw nerve when she said that to Kayla.

Kayla couldn't smile anymore. She said halfheartedly, “Don't worry about it. I understand,"

After saying that, she nodded and left with her friends.

Suddenly hit by inspiration, Aurora added, “By the way, Miss Bryant, thank you for telling us that Mr. Dreskin's first love is CC. Otherwise, We wouldn't have found out that Mr. Dreskin has liked Claudia for so long."

Hearing that, Kayla was pissed off.

Upon hearing Aurora's words, Kayla felt her legs go weak. A friend standing beside her quickly lent a hand to steady her.

"Kayla?" Dismissive of her friend's worry, Kayla raised her hand to signal that she was alright. Directing her attention to Claudia, she said, "Thank you. I've been acquainted with Townsend for a long time, and seeing him with someone he cherishes comforts me. Wishing you both nothing but happiness!"

Attempting to maintain her dignity, Kayla force-smiled. However, Claudia wore a serious face as she replied, "Miss Bryant, if you truly wish well for us and want to see us happy, I would appreciate it if you stop using Bennett's middle name in the future. I recall the last time we played golf together, Bennett clearly mentioned that he preferred only his family to use his middle name, and he didn't appreciate others using it. Even as his wife, I just called him 'Bennett', didn't I? Besides, as his wife, I also don't want to hear other women call my husband like that. While it might not be a significant issue, it clearly oversteps a boundary, something I'd like to avoid to prevent any misconceptions.

Caught off guard and rendered speechless, Kayla could only muster a nod, admitting, "I understand, Mrs. Dreskin, Rest assured, there's absolutely no romantic connection between Bennett and me.

Claudia responded with a reassuring smile, "I'm glad to hear that. I only brought it up to avoid any potential misunderstandings that might inconvenience you, Miss Bryant. Considering your remarkable qualities, I'm sure a lot of people are vying for your affection. However, if someone mistakenly believes that you have feelings for someone else's husband, it won't look good on you. Don't you think so, Miss Bryant?"
