The Counterattack of a Supporting Actress
Chapter 2
June awkwardly pulled her dress out, turned around, and hid herself behind Conrad, trying to keep a distance from me.
"I just asked you to apologize, not to kneel down. Get up!"
I widened my eyes and, although my voice was a bit choked, I firmly refused her.
"That's ... not ... OK! I ruined your dress, Ms. Norris... It's ... a ... big deal. An apology won't be enough."
Unfortunately, the host did not have many tears, and my tears soon dried up.
I had no choice but to pull June out as she was hiding behind Conrad.
I used one hand to hug Conrad's thigh and the other to pull her dress to cover my face, shouting.
Fortunately, June's dress was big enough to cover my face entirely.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Norris! I'm sorry, Mr. Mallin! I didn't know I had to apologize after being bumped into. I'm sorry, Ms. Norris, it's my fault for not avoiding you. Please don't make things difficult for me because of this! I'm sorry!"
My words brought everyone's memory back, and they discussed.
"It's true. It's Ms. Norris bumped into this waitress."
"Yes! Yes! I saw it too."
The three of us became the center of attention, and everyone surrounded us in a circle.
It happened so quickly that neither Conrad nor June reacted in time. They were stunned by my actions.
Conrad's face was livid as he pulled his leg out while I was still pulling June's dress.
The two of them retreated so quickly that I almost hit my chin.
I turned my head with a grimace, and the paparazzi's camera was so close to my face.
I made up my mind, and I kept bumping my head against the floor.
The marble floor was cracked by me, and I ended up with a concussion and had to be admitted to the hospital.
The System gave me an electric shock to wake me up, and there were bandages wrapped around my head.
It had been five days since I knelt at the banquet.
During these five days, the topic of "Mr. Mallin from the Mallin Group forced a waitress to kneel" had always been the most trending.
Conrad's bullying behavior had been widely spread.
The System was taken back to the factory and was reprimanded by the main System because it created the first record that the host's task completion probability was negative.
As soon as the System came back, it greeted me with an electric shock punishment.
The electric current came through my arms and directly hit my heart through the bloodstream.
The intense pain in my heart instantly woke me up. I was no longer drowsy at once.
The intense pain forced me to curl up, and my movement was so big that the wound on my head started to hurt again.
I made up my mind and took out the potion I had just obtained, injecting it into the mark on my arm.
As my body adapted to the potion, the intense pain in my heart gradually eased, and the System in my mind was screaming in disbelief.
"What have you done?"
I could clearly feel the weakening control of the System over my body, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
But I knew it was only temporary. It wouldn't be long before the main System detected the disturbance in this small world, and I had to make sure I dominated the System within this limited time.
"Can't you feel? Of course, I'm going to eliminate you!"
"You can't do it. I don't know how you blocked the connection between me and the main System, but the main System will soon find out, and then you're done."
Even though artificial intelligence had incorporated human-like emotions, it was still a robot. Its voice quickly calmed down and returned to a cold machine tone.
I sneered.
"Is that so? Then why didn't it realize that you were blocked once?"
At the banquet, if I hadn't blocked the System, I wouldn't have been able to perform that excellent show. Also, it became my only chip to threaten the System.
Sure enough, the System didn't say another word.
It hesitated.
It was also an opportunity for me.
I took the opportunity to say, "Why don't you work with me? I won't erase you, and I will help you complete the mission of conquering the male lead."
The System started to hesitate. "Are you sure you will continue to complete the mission?"
"Of course. As long as you don't interfere with me. Don't mind the strategy I use."
The System's silence was its response. After a while, I heard a muffled "OK" machine sound in my mind.
