Chapter 581 Humiliation
Everyone was surprised at what she said.
Natalia realized how rude her daughter was so she quickly squatted down and cover Anne's mouth.
Then she gave Laura an embarrassed smile. "Sorry, children say what they like. She didn't mean that."
Judging from Laura's tone, she didn't seem to be happy when Natalia thought they were a couple. So it would be inappropriate to assume that they would have a baby together. Although Natalia was Laura's boss, she did not ignore her child's rudeness.
Feeling her face reddening with embarrassment, Laura shook her head and said, "It's OK."
Max caught on to it too. He coughed awkwardly and tried to change the inappropriate subject,
"Well, we're going over there."
Natalia nodded.
"Sure, have fun!"
Then Max walked away with Laura in a hurry.
Natalia breathed a sigh of relief when they left.
On the other side.
Laura and Max went to the museum next to the art exhibition.
It was Max's decision to go to the children's art exhibition, and this time going to the museum was Laura's idea.
Her original plan was to go there alone after packing him off.
However, Max followed her here.
It seemed that he was going to hang out with her.
Although she felt embarrassed, she could not change his mind and she allowed him.
They walked around in this science museum.
Laura was interested in science at first, but she knew now that there was a lot about science that she didn't understand. Luckily, Max was well versed in science and technology. So with his explanation, she took on a lot of uncharted territories.
She also asked him for some related knowledge that she didn't understand.
Max explained them all to her. They were a little complicated, but she understood most of them.
Just then, a middle-aged man in a suit followed by two staff members came, panting.
As soon as he came, he smiled obsequiously. "Mr. Nixon. Welcome! Why didn't you let me know before you came? I could have given you and your friend a much warmer welcome." Max nodded, "I'm watching the exhibition with my girlfriend. We don't need your warm welcome."
Girlfriend?
The man was stunned for a moment before he noticed Laura.
Her mask and hat made it difficult for him to recognize. He asked uncertainly, "This is...... How should I call you, Miss?"
Laura looked around and found that there were few people there.
Even if she didn't wear a disguise, people could hardly tell who she was.
Then she put off her hat and mask and smiled polity at the man.
"Hello, I'm Laura Davis."
The man was shocked at the sight of her.
Then he said with an ingratiating smile. "Hello, Miss Davis. I'm Sam Hunt, the curator of this museum. Call me Sam."
Sam was about her father's age,
So she politely called him Curator Hunt.
Sam waved his and said, "Miss Davis, is this your first time here? Would you like me to show you around?"
Max frowned at the third wheel and grumbled, "Mind your own business. We don't need you here!"
Sam took a hint and smiled awkwardly, "Well, enjoy your time then. Feel free to let me know if you need any help."
Max ignored him. Laura gave him a friendly smile and said, "Thanks."
Max's phone rang midway through, and he walked away to answer it. So Laura walked around alone.
Before long, she saw several people walking toward her, one of whom she recognized.
It was Jasmyn Ronaldo, Lily's friend. They often picked on newcomers in the industry.
Laura felt unlucky to meet them here. It seemed that they followed her everywhere.
But lily was absent this time. There were only Jasmyn and two other ladies from the upper class.
"Shoot! How can I run into them everywhere?"
Jasmyn said in a voice dripping with sarcasm. The two people next to her apparently saw Laura, too. Then they started laughing.
"Hey, what's your name? Why didn't you say hello to Miss Ronaldo? Should you be nicer to her?"
"Well, the Ronaldo family is the most prestigious family outside the Big Four. Aren't you an actress? So is Miss Ronaldo. If you bow down before her, maybe she'll take you under her wing." Then they burst into laughter again.
Laura managed to hold her head high and ignored what they said.
Laura's attitude provoked an angry response. A woman stepped forward to grab her, "Hey! How dare you! You just ignored my friendly warning!"
Laura turned to look at her.
If she remembered correctly, she was Jasmyn's cousin, Lotus Ronaldo. She had a bad reputation among Eqitin's young ladies. She was a two-faced hypocrite.
Laura sneered and pushed her hand away, "Thank you so much! But I'm just a nobody in the circle. Who am I to not be nice to Lily Thomson."
"It turns out that you have no ambitions! I guess I overestimated you."
Jasmyn jibed, "Hey, can you afford anything here?"
Laura wrinkled her brows.
Lotus came forward and said, "I doubt you don't know it's a charity exhibition. Everything on display here is for sale and the money will go to the science and technology Institute for research. You didn't buy anything all this time? Laura looked at her empty hands. She really didn't buy anything.
