Jennifer quickly asked, “Felicity, what would it take to calm you down?”

Shemaine knew she had no way out. The only option left was to apologize and hope for Felicity’s forgiveness. She humbled herself further, saying, “I’m truly sorry, Felicity 1 sincerely apologize for the trouble I’ve caused you”

“Mainey, you’re a smart woman. You know what I want,” Felicity said, casually playing with her nails.

Shelmaine instantly understood what Felicity was implying but remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

“Natasha is my cousin. We’re very close. Whether this issue is resolved or not really depends on her mood. If you’re truly sincere, you should apologize to her in person”

Felicity paused for a moment before continuing, “I don’t want to make things hard for you. Look at you you’re young, talented, and it’s not easy to get to where you are now.

As Shelmaine had suspected, Felicity was here to get back at her on Natasha’s behalf.
