Lina suddenly grabbed my hair.
She shouted to the people around her, "Look, everyone! Mrs. Collins is wearing a hairband that costs only three dollars. It's unbelievable."
I felt pain and slapped her. She covered her face with her hand and tried to fight against me in rage.
"What are you doing?"
There came a voice. It was Wallace.
He walked over expressionlessly in a suit.
Lina walked over and pressed herself against him.
"Mr. Collins, it's all my fault. I just handed her a tissue to wipe her sweat, but she slapped me."
The red mark on Lina's face was obvious.
Wallace's voice was not loud, but there was an irresistible power.
“Apologize to Lina.”
I remained silent.
He raised his hand and slapped me.
"Can't you hear me?"
I bit my lip and said, "Sorry."
There were gasps of shock from people all around. No one expected me, Wallace's wife, to apologize to an employee.
"I didn't hear what you said."
Lina became more and more aggressive, but Wallace was still on her side and stared at me coldly.
I raised my voice. "Lina, I'm sorry!"
She smiled, "It's OK. I didn't care."
She lowered her voice, and only I could hear her. "Have you seen that? In Mr. Collins' eyes, you are not as important as a dog."
