Max was visibly flustered and began stumbling.
"No, that's not it. Kathy, please, let me explain. There's nothing between me and Yvonne..."
"Katherine, I graciously let you off the hook yesterday, and now you're defaming me again. What is your intention? Do you want to face legal action?" Yvonne chimed in, but her composure was far steadier than Max's.
I had no desire to engage in a battle of words; I simply wished to depart.
At that moment, a check fell on the floor. It was a check for a hundred thousand dollars.
The entire staff in the dressing room turned. Their faces were a mosaic of confusion and intrigue.
It was Max's paycheck. I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Max, you only get a mere 100,000 dollars? You sold yourself for a single night with her for just 100,000 dollars? Indeed, that's all you're worth!"
As I made my way towards the exit, passing by Max, I whispered a taunt that only he could hear.
"I forgot to mention that I orchestrated your job. My fortune exceeds 100 million dollars."
Just as I was about to step out of the dressing room, Yvonne's voice sliced through the air.
"Katherine, just you wait. I'll have Lily sue you! For defamation and slander!"
I glanced at her indifferently.
