The seat beside Lincoln's was meant for the chief designer. It was still empty. Priscilla wanted to wait until everyone was present to expose Faye. However, Ms. Fischer had personally selected her chief assistant. Would she be offending Ms. Fischer if she were to humiliate Faye in public? Would it leave a bad impression on her? That would be too high a price to pay.Besides, Lincoln had made eyes at her immediately upon his arrival. He was obviously interested in her. If she were to have him handle this on her behalf, she could avoid offending Ms. Fischer and get closer to Lincoln. What was there to lose?Lincoln paled with fright. Was Priscilla out to get him?"Oh? What is it? Let's hear it," Landon said. He smirked at the look on Lincoln's face. Sure enough, Lincoln gave him a warning look. He definitely had something to do with Priscilla! This was his chance!Priscilla gave Landon a grateful look before turning back to Lincoln. "Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Landon, I have a vid
The 6th of May was a cloudy day. It was the day of Tracy and Anthon's engagement. Faye showed up at 6:00 pm on the dot. The engagement party had yet to begin, but many guests were already in attendance. They were making small talk over drinks.Tracy wore a beautiful evening gown. Her hair and makeup had also been done exquisitely. She looked like a princess as she and Anthon made their way around the crowd with their arms linked. When she saw Faye, she let go of Anthon and approached her. "Faye, you're here."Tracy held Faye's hand. "I knew you wouldn't have an evening gown. Come on. I've prepared one for you. Let's get your makeup done so you can get dressed."Something had to be afoot. Tracy wouldn't be so nice for no reason. Faye looked at her lazily. "No, that's unnecessary. I'm fine with what I'm wearing.""I can't allow that. All the guests today are prominent figures. You'll be embarrassing yourself with your current outfit," Tracy said firmly. She then dragged Faye
"Wait!" Lizzie panicked when Faye pushed the door open. She lunged forward to stop her. Faye had expected this and she secretly held her leg out to trip Lizzie."No!" Unfortunately, Lizzie's cry was drowned out by the moans and groans coming from inside the room. "No, don't … Don't …"The gazes that were on Faye shifted to look inside the room. Faye ignored Lizzie and pointed inside the room, looking horrified. "Oh, my God! Tracy, what are you guys doing?" Her words made everyone return to their senses. The crowd surged forward to get a better look at what was happening.Inside the dressing room, a pastel yellow evening gown had been carelessly flung on the floor. A tall man in a pink shirt was pinning a woman in a white gown to the floor. The man's shirt was half undone, and his head was buried in the woman's chest. The woman's strapless gown had been tugged down to her waist, revealing her fair skin. The hem had also been messily pushed up to her hips. The scandalous s
"No, that's not true!" Faye bit her lip harder. Her voice was shaky. She tightly clenched her phone and stared at Tracy with wide eyes. "I didn't do anything!""You didn't do anything?" Tracy sneered. "I know you still have feelings for Anthon, Faye. You must be upset because we're getting engaged today. That won't change the fact that Anthon is in love with me. We've been together for so long. I thought you would've moved on by now."Tracy threw herself into Anthon's arms and started weeping pitifully. "I didn't expect you to get revenge on me at our engagement party! And not like this!" She sobbed. "Anthon, did we really make a mistake?"A few moments ago, Anthon had been head over heels for Faye's beauty. He'd even fantasized about bringing her home and announcing to the world that she was his. Now, Tracy's words made his expression darken. "Did you really do this, Faye?" His gaze was sharp. "Why did you do it? Is it just because I love Tracy and not you?"Faye had already see
A video played on the screen. It showed Tracy hiding in a corner with two glasses of wine. She put some powder into one of them. Then, Hank showed up. Tracy handed him the laced one with a smile. After that, they leaned close and whispered into each other's ears. Hank even touched Tracy flirtatiously a few times. Instead of springing away, she merely looked shy. How they flirted with each other would make anyone think they were an item. More importantly, after all their whispering, they linked arms and fed each other the wine …The timestamp in the corner showed that this had happened an hour before the engagement party. Anthon stood beside Tracy. His expression was already stormy. Tracy panicked and hurriedly said, "Anthon, I can explain. Hank and I were just talking about him and Faye. Nothing's going on between us …"Anthon didn't say anything. The video suddenly switched to show the inside of the dressing room. At this point, Faye had yet to come in, and Lizzie hadn
When Clint raced over, he saw Tracy yanking Faye's hair. Meanwhile, Lizzie seemed to be trying to get them to stop fighting. In reality, though, Lizzie was also getting some hits in against Faye.Clint flew into a rage.He had been out wining and dining a few notable businessmen. Just as he was about to clinch the deal, someone from the Lynch family approached him to tell him that his wife and daughters were in a fight, asking him to handle it.Seeing this scene playing out when he rushed over, Clint nearly got a heart attack right then and there."Stop it!"Clint pulled both Lizzie and Tracy away. With a dark expression, he demanded, "Faye, today's the day of Tracy's engagement. Why are you causing problems for us now?"The first thing he did was question Faye without first asking what had happened. What a great father he was.Faye lowered her head and let out a laugh. When she looked back up, her face was stained with tears. "Dad, it was my fault. I won't do it again. Please,
Faye walked out of the hotel alone. Just as she was about to hail a cab home, a Volkswagen came to a slow stop beside her. Faye froze for a moment as she watched Cedric stick his head out of the car window. Cedric was smiling as he lazed in the car seat. He gestured at Faye with his chin and said, "Get in."Faye suddenly smiled. She opened the door to get in the car and asked, "Have you gotten off work?"Cedric nodded. "Yes.""How did you know I was here?" Faye asked.Cedric raised an eyebrow. "I was there when you received the invitation."His response rendered Faye speechless.No one spoke as the car slowly drove off. There was soft, calming music playing in the car. It should have been very soothing, but it sounded sad to Faye. Faye looked out of the window, watching the unfamiliar buildings fly past. She then laughed self-deprecatingly. "Aren't I laughable?"Cedric seemed amused for a moment. "Why do you say that?""I knew that there would be a trap for me today, but
Faye could hear her heart beating in her ears."Ms. Fischer, these are the details of all the employees in the company's design department. I'll just place them on your desk. Is there anything else you need?"Though Faye sat in the head designer's office all morning, she spent her time daydreaming. Her heart kept beating out of control, whereas her cheeks were flushing heavily. All in all, she felt quite weird.Whenever she recalled how flirty Cedric had been in the elevator last night, Faye's heart started racing. This hadn't stopped since last night.Faye could hear Jamie's voice drifting into her ear more than once. But at the same time, it seemed as though she didn't hear her at all. She didn't respond to Jamie the whole time.Jamie was worried as she stayed frozen in place. She didn't know whether she should go back to work or wait there for Faye to respond.After a long time, Faye took a deep breath and came back to her senses, shaking herself out of the funk Cedric had c
