Seeing Bria's escalating distress, Noemi quickly retrieved the medication. After Bria took the pills, her fury began to subside, and she gradually calmed down.
Noemi seized the moment to appeal to Bria's sense of reason. "Please, Miss Nixon, try to cool down. It's not worth your peace to be disturbed over someone as insignificant as me. You can address my failures anytime. Once I've secured a replacement, you may punishas you see fit. I'll accept it without complaint." Bria's icy gaze seemed to thaw slightly, though she remained silent for a moment, contemplating Noemi's words. "I will spare you this time, as there are still tasks I require of you," Bria finally said, her tone soft yet carrying an underlying sternness. "As for those incompetents, I don't want to see them again. Use whatever means necessary to erase them from my presence." Bria's voice, usually melodious and gentle, conveyed a chilling resolve. The harshness of her orders sent a cold shiver down the spine of anyone who heard them. Noemi, realizing the grim fate awaiting her subordinates, felt no sympathy for them.

Any objections to my decision? Would you rather join your inept subordinates on an unpleasant excursion?" Bria's words were a clear ultimatum, leaving Noemi no room to argue. Resigned to her fate, Noemi ceased her protests. Despite the impending humiliation and pain, it seemed a lesser evil than the alternative Bria hinted at. Under Bria's stern gaze, Noemi began crawling her way back while passersby looked on with confusion and concern. Despite Bria having reserved the entire hotel for today's banquet, the premises remained a hub of activity with numerous people passing through.
Onlookers cast curious and concerned glances at Noemi, puzzled by her unusual and distressing behavior. As Noemi endured her public ordeal, Bria's spirits lifted, her mood significantly improved.
