"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
Right after Faye stepped out of the hospital, Sherry got out of her car and walked in. Two minutes later, she showed up in Flora's ward. Coincidentally, the care worker was preparing dinner for Flora, so the ward was empty.Sherry knocked on the door before going inside. When she saw the pale but seemingly alert Flora in the bed, she put down the fruit basket in her hand with a smile. "Hello, Mrs. Brown."Flora looked up. When she saw the elegant woman in an expensive dress and elaborate makeup, she knew that her visitor was not someone to be underestimated. She nodded slightly and said, "Hello. You are …"Sherry stood before the bed and looked down at Flora. "My name is Sherry Young. I'm a member of the Shaw family."Flora's first thought upon hearing about the Shaw family was Cedric.Although Faye had said that Cedric was just a waiter, Flora didn't think that was true. Someone who was from a typical family couldn't possibly carry himself with Cedric's bearing. Even if he real
Faye's lips twitched as she saw Tracy in a heap on the ground. She gave a cold laugh and said, "You could have just apologized. There's no need to make a fool of yourself as well."Tracy was outraged. She climbed upright with difficulty and pointed at Faye, so furious that she couldn't speak. Faye folded her arms and looked at Tracy lazily. "If you don't want to end up at the police station, I'd advise you to shut up and get lost." Then, she shoved Tracy away and closed the door again. When she returned to her room, she put earplugs in and went back to sleep.Tracy kept cursing outside the door, only leaving in a huff once she was done. Coincidentally, that was when Cedric got home with dinner. He was right on time to see Tracy leave, mumbling as she went. She was holding her phone to her ear and seemed to be making a call."I heard that Faye got a job at Light Moon Designs because she has a good relationship with Mr. Colt. Keep your ears open for me on that. If it's true, f
Lincoln had taken Cedric's request to heart.After finishing work that day, he went downstairs to the design department to see Priscilla. At the same time, he wanted to leave instructions for Mr. Chandler to keep an eye out on Priscilla during this time.But when he stepped into the design department, he saw that Mr. Chandler was having a meeting with all the designers to assign them new tasks.Mr. Chandler even mentioned the new hires and especially welcomed them. To get them to integrate into the company faster, he also arranged for them to have new tasks.Mr. Chandler quickly handed out the assignments. When he got to the new hires, he coughed before looking over at Jay."I have a challenging project with me. We need a dedicated and patient designer with a more modern style to handle it. The process might be difficult, so of you three, I think it's not much suited to you girls."Mr. Chandler was about to ask Jay if he would try it out when Priscilla stood up."Mr. Chandler, I
