Chapter 780
Someone complained, “What’s wrong with Cathy’s team? They don’t know any manners.”
Cathy just tuned out the gossip and said bluntly, “Aria, Mr. Harrison is scared of you.”
Emily nodded and said, “Yeah, I saw that too.”
The other team members all looked at Aria, curiosity written all over their faces.
Caroline asked, “What’s the deal between you two?”
Aria said, “I’ll fill you in when I get the chance.”
Outside the cafeteria, Ned leaned against the wall, his chest heaving. He clenched his fists, forcing himself to calm down. He thought, ‘How the hell is she here? Did she come for me? No.
‘This is the State Security Bureau. She wouldn’t dare pull anything here. Besides, I’m in a high position, and she’s just an ordinary member. There’s nothing to be afraid of. With this thought in mind, he gradually calmed down.
In the cafeteria, Fillip said with displeasure, “Madelyn, the newcomer you recruited is lacking in manners.”
Tessa turned her gaze away and said, “Aria doesn’t even know who Ned is. Does she really have to stand up and greet him respectfully to be considered polite? That’s never been the style here at the Bureau.”
A leader stepped in to smooth things over. He said, “It’s just a small thing. Let’s not talk about it.”
Cathy picked up a piece of meat and said, “Let’s just eat and forget about it. As long as Mr. Harrison doesn’t target us, who cares what other people say
about us?”
As soon as Cathy put the meat in her mouth, Aria suddenly spoke up, “When Ned was talking earlier, I saw him spraying spit everywhere.”
Hearing this, Cathy immediately spat the meat onto a napkin and tossed it aside with a look of disgust.
The other team members also put down their forks, their expressions a mix of discomfort and awkwardness.
“Should we go get new food?” Emily whispered.
Jocelyn shook her head, looking troubled. She said, “the Bureau has rules–we can’t waste food.”
The girls exchanged glances, all thinking the same thing: they’d rather go hungry than touch the food in front of them.
Suddenly, Allison slammed her fork down with a sharp clatter.
Cathy shot her a glare and demanded, “Allison, what’s your deal? If you’ve got a problem with Aria, take it up with me. Stop with the attitude.”
Allison smacked the table, making the plates rattle. She snapped, “Who did you even bring in? And you still have the guts to talk about winning the championship? With what? Just your mouth?”
Cathy retorted, “Who do you think you’re looking down on?”
“You, obviously,” Allison fired back, not backing down an inch.
Jocelyn quickly stood up to try and break it up. She said, “Stop it, guys. We’re in the cafeteria.”
But Cathy and Allison had already grabbed each other by the collar.
“Let’s fight outside,” Cathy shouted.

With burgun bestching in shach, torty and Allan stated dragging exch they read the exit.
The ather won meintiers scrambled to stop them, getting up and following after them.
Seeing that Aus still sat there, Emily pulled her up and said, ‘Come on, let’s go.
And just like that, all even ed them left the cafeteria.
Before leaving the cafeteria, Aria exchanged a look with Owen and just shrugged at him, looking helpless.
The people at the nearby tables exchanged looks with each other. They thought, ‘Do they really think we didn’t hear them complaining about Med spitting everywhere? These girls are such drama queens.
Owen put down his fork and said, “I’m full, so I’ll head out first.”
Tessa quickly stood up and said, “I’ll walk Mr. Shaw back to his dorm.”
The two of them left, one after the other.
Tessa asked, “Does Aria have some kind of grudge against Ned?”
Owen replied, “I’m not really sure, but what I do know is, Ned isn’t Alpha.”
Tessa’s eyes widened in shock. She exclaimed, “What? Ned isn’t Alpha?”
