She had been polite before because although Mr. Green was obnoxious, he hadn't crossed her, and she didn't want to offend people arbitrarily.
But now, she didn't have to bother anymore.
Her face darkened and her voice cooled, "Mr. Green, please let go of my hand. I've said it before, I'm not interested in staying here."
"Ms. Joanna, you're really not giving face here,"
A man's voice came from behind Mr. Green, sneering, "Mr. Green asked you to stay because he thinks highly of you. Other women would love this kind of treatment, what are you being pretentious about? What do you think, just because you have some looks, you can act all high and mighty here?"
"'No interest in staying here.' Who do you think you are?"
"Exactly, she's ungrateful," another man said, "Mr. Green is being polite, asking you nicely to stay, and yet you give him disrespect. You don't think much of Mr. Green, do you? A little actress dares to put on airs in front of us."
