Chapter 1557
"I need to go out for a bit," Felicity declared.
Vermont was surprised. "What? Why?"
As Felicity hurried toward the bedroom to get changed, she explained, "My supervisor got ambushed. Turns out her
boyfriend is a married man. A bunch of people showed up at her place and wrecked the whole house. I'm going to
take her to the police."
Vermont followed her with concern etched on his face."
Why didn't she just call the cops herself? It's already so late."
"They shredded all her clothes. She’s got nothing to wear now. She probably didn't want to call the cops and have

Worried for her safety, Vermont said, "Let me come with you. What if those guys haven't left yet? It's not safe for
you to go alone."
"It's fine. Aren't you hungry? Go grab a bite. I'll be back in no time."
As she spoke, she moved toward the entrance to put on her shoes. Vermont swiftly grabbed her wrist and pulled
her back. "I know you can handle yourself, but can't you let me be there for you? I'm your boyfriend, Felicity. Let
me do this."
Felicity eyed him up and down. "Don't expect me to wait for you if you're slow."
Vermont clicked his tongue. "You love me too much to leave me behind."
Felicity huffed and urged him to get changed. The two quickly got ready and headed over to her superior's place.
By the time they arrived, the troublemakers had already cleared out. They left behind a scene of utter chaos.
Felicity grabbed some clothes and headed to the bedroom to find her supervisor while Vermont pulled out his
phone. He recorded the mess for evidence, as it would be useful for the police report and to check if anything was
missing.
Vermont could faintly hear a woman's sobs from the bedroom, accompanied by Felicity's soothing words. He stood
in the entryway and dialed for the police. Not long after, the police arrived. Once things were settled, the two said
their goodbyes and left.
On their way back, Felicity vented her frustration about the man her superior was dating. Not only did he cheat on
his original partner, but he lied to her supervisor. When the truth came out, the man fled and left the two women to
have a face-off. "What a loser," said Felicity.
Vermont turned the steering wheel and suddenly asked, "Are you absolutely sure your supervisor had no idea this
guy was married?"

"Of course. She's got it all. She's got the looks and the status. Why would she settle for a married man? Plus, he's
not good-looking at all."
"Yeah. He's so sleazy. What did she see in him?" Vermont said slowly.
Felicity sensed that there was more to his words and furrowed her brow. "What are you trying to say?"
Vermont did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "Is your supervisor well-known in the screenwriting
industry?"
"Not really. Some of her work was aired, but the feedback was average. Although, she's got quite the network and
gets plenty of script offers," Felicity replied.
"So, she has no notable work, yet a surplus of script offers. Don't you find that peculiar?" Vermont mused.
Felicity paused before she said with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, "Well... like I said, she's got a wide network.
She's been in the industry for years."
