Autumn Ellison's expression changed upon hearing this, "I'm not like her. I encounter gossip because others are being malicious, because they're jealous of my popularity!"
"You know what I mean, don't target her anymore. My issues really have nothing to do with her, okay?"
Stellan Sutton said soothingly in a deep voice, and Autumn Ellison reluctantly rolled her eyes, "Fine, I can wait, but if she keeps prancing around me like she did today without tact, I won't just let it go."
"You're certainly reasonable and empathetic."
Stellan Sutton praised her generously, then said, "I'll have someone escort Miss Donovan back."
Autumn Ellison was displeased upon hearing this. "Why don't you take her yourself? Are you planning to take Eve Sherman?"
"I have a few things to discuss with her, and if you hadn't said so many harsh things at the dinner table, I wouldn't need to pacify my employee's emotions right now."
