Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 596: Meeting Annelise Mayfield

As soon as she came out, her gaze was fixed on Selena Kensington.

With undisguised wariness and hostility.

Selena raised her eyebrow slightly.

This Annelise Mayfield doesn’t seem like someone with deep machinations.

Vivian Sutton came over and said, "She’s Annelise Mayfield."

Selena nodded slightly, then looked at Vivian Sutton, "Vivian, can I talk to her alone for a moment?"

Vivian Sutton made an ’OK’ gesture.

"I’ll stand guard by the stairs for you."

Then Vivian Sutton consciously left.

After Vivian Sutton left, Annelise Mayfield retreated even more warily by a few steps.

She seemed to see Selena as some kind of fierce monster.

Selena chuckled.

"Miss Mayfield, there’s no need to be so wary of me, I’m not as scary as you imagine."

As soon as Annelise Mayfield came out and looked at her, Selena understood.

She indeed came for her.

Annelise Mayfield snorted coldly, "Hypocrite!"

Selena shrugged indifferently.

This young girl seems to have a deep misunderstanding of her.

But Selena didn’t plan to explain.

"Miss Mayfield, your family may not know you’ve come to Aethelgard, right?"

If the Mayfield family knew Annelise Mayfield would come to Aethelgard, how could they allow her to come alone?

Annelise Mayfield suddenly widened her eyes as she looked at Selena.

As if saying ’you finally reveal your evil intentions.’

"... You really are malicious!"

The young girl seemed to think for a long time, unable to come up with words to curse, and finally said this sentence after holding it back.

Selena raised an eyebrow slightly, "Oh? Really?"

"This is our first meeting, right? How can Miss Mayfield be so sure..."

"Moreover, I don’t think I’ve said anything particularly malicious, have I?"

Annelise Mayfield raised her chin arrogantly, "You are a malicious woman!"

"If it weren’t for you, Roxanne wouldn’t have suffered so much in Aethelgard!"

"You said that just now, surely you intend to tell my family, and then have them scold me! And you say you’re not malicious!"

Hearing Annelise Mayfield’s words, Selena found it both funny and annoying.

However, she felt slightly relieved internally.

Annelise Mayfield appeared to be a naive young girl without any malicious thoughts.

She seemed to have heard a one-sided story from Roxanne Sutton, believing Roxanne had suffered greatly in Aethelgard.

And her as Roxanne’s close friend could only watch as she returned pitifully.

Thus, Annelise Mayfield also impulsively came to Aethelgard.

Before that, Annelise Mayfield had never been out of Westport.

She was well protected by the Mayfield family.

Therefore, coming to Aethelgard, not knowing what to do, she happened to see the program, and remembering that Selena and Roxanne Sutton were both in the entertainment industry, she signed up following suit.

Annelise Mayfield didn’t understand these matters. If it weren’t for Roxanne Sutton occasionally mentioning her experiences in the entertainment industry, Annelise Mayfield might not have been able to reach the semifinals.

This was even her first performance experience.

She advanced due to her natural talent, and many fans were attracted by her exotic alluring appearance yet clean expression, becoming her followers.

Seeing Annelise Mayfield’s big hostility towards her, Selena spoke somewhat helplessly.

"If I really intended to do that, I would directly call your family, why would I bother to come find you?"

"..."

After hearing Selena’s words, Annelise Mayfield frowned slightly.

She pondered for a moment, realizing that it might actually be the case.

If the other party truly wanted to send her back, why bother to come personally?

But...

Annelise Mayfield remembered what Roxanne Sutton had told her before.

Roxanne told Annelise Mayfield that Selena couldn’t stand others being better than her.

And Selena had always held an inexplicable hostility towards her, trying every possible means to oppose her.

In Annelise Mayfield’s mind, naturally, the words of a childhood friend held more weight.

So she raised her head, "So what, this doesn’t change the fact that you’re a malicious woman!"

Selena shrugged helplessly, "I never claimed to be a good person."

"It’s just that some things, you should inquire more about, a one-sided story can’t cover everything."

If Annelise Mayfield were like Roxanne Sutton, Selena might have looked once and prepared to leave.

But Annelise Mayfield wasn’t that kind of person.

Selena could see, although Annelise Mayfield’s eyes were full of hostility towards her.

She didn’t seem to have any intention of revenge against her.

Therefore, Selena patiently continued talking to her.

Annelise Mayfield, however, didn’t appreciate this, instead, she thought Selena was sowing discord.

"My relationship with Roxanne isn’t something you can break with just a few words!"

Seeing Annelise Mayfield still so stubborn, Selena decided not to continue speaking.

"Well then, suit yourself."

"But you’d better behave in Aethelgard, or else I can’t guarantee your safety."

After leaving these words, Selena walked towards where Vivian Sutton was.

Annelise Mayfield watched Selena’s departing back, the expression on her face gradually calmed down.

A gleam of contemplation flashed in her eyes.

*

Hearing the footsteps, Vivian Sutton put her phone away and raised her head.

She glanced at Annelise Mayfield who was still standing where she was behind Selena.

"Finished talking?"

Selena nodded slightly, "Let’s go."

"Okay, coincidentally, Little Minister is almost here, there’s a place outside the dormitory where we can rest."

Vivian Sutton spoke while heading downstairs.

When the two walked downstairs, they happened to encounter several contestants entering with laughter and chatter.

They were momentarily stunned upon seeing Vivian Sutton and Selena.

Many had already recognized Selena.

"Vivian, the person behind you is..."

Someone uncertainly asked a question.

Vivian Sutton saw the head-on encounter, and since there wasn’t much to hide, she nodded, "Yes."

Hearing Vivian Sutton’s confirmation, those people immediately perked up.

"Teacher Kensington, nice to meet you..."

"Teacher Kensington is here? I’ve long heard of your name..."

Each of them wanted to approach her to build rapport.

After all, given Selena Kensington’s current status and identity, if chosen by her, they might be the next Sloane Hawthorne!

Selena saw through their thoughts and stopped them before they continued speaking.

She raised a courteous distant smile, "Sorry, it’s my private visit time now, we can save any conversation for next time."

Vivian Sutton understood Selena’s words, so she apologized to those people, "Sorry, we have other things, we won’t stay longer."

Those people exchanged glances, then said, "Alright, we won’t disturb you then."

After saying this, they left the place.

Vivian Sutton watched those people leave, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let’s go, we’re heading out."

Selena looked at her helplessly, "Why do you act as if you’ve been through a war?"
