“That guy isn’t good! I already sent you all his details thinking you’d be smart enough to stay away from him.”Phyllis reached out for Leila’s hands. Her expression is serious and Leila could feel the weight of what Phyllis was sharing. Her friend is always happy-go-lucky and always goes with the flow. Whenever she mentions something about a guy, Phyllis would be the first one to cheer her on. Well—after she background checks the men that Leila dated. But this behavior is different…“Leila, listen to me. I know that guy, we’re business partners.”“You know how my media company gets first-hand information from GEM Entertainment? It was because Taylor asked to work with me. This is how they maintain an excellent image for their artists. Whenever there are rumors involving his artists, he asks me to make an article with insider info.”“Isn’t that biased to his artists?” asked Leila. Phyllis shrugged. “Well, nothing’s real in the media. We choose what we let the people know. So this co

Weeks passed by in the blink of an eye, Leila was occupied with the commission pieces for Luna and the pieces that she’ll be presenting for her atelier opening. She did not leave her apartment and just immersed herself in work. She was currently under a lot of pressure since in a month, she will open the doors of her studio to her clients. With the help of Michaella, the opening fashion show is well taken care of. Now, the only thing left to do is to finish all her remaining designs. Right now, she is on her way to GEM Entertainment’s office in Dixon City. She doesn’t know why but her appointment is with Taylor Lown, the President of GEM Entertainment not with the general manager of GEM Models. She found it weird but she still needed to go. It’s better than meeting the guy that Julius mentioned. The traffic on the way to Taylor’s office was okay. It was good that the scheduled meeting was not a rush hour, or else she’d be stuck in traffic by now. The business park in Dixon City is

The next day, Leila went out with Michaella to visit her atelier which is currently under construction. They brought snacks for the workers to eat for their break. “Architect Yang, I did not expect to see you here!” said Leila in surprise. Maxwell Yang, the head architect and heir of YJL Corporation, was not the person in charge of this project. Though Phylian connected her with his construction company, there was another person in charge of the project. Maxwell Yang is not supposed to be here, except…Leila looked around to see if the architect in charge was around. “Where’s Architect Kim?”“She’s in the greenhouse,” said Maxwell briefly. Leila excitedly went to see Architect Tatiana Kim, leaving Maxwell behind.Michaella followed her inside with the trolley full of sandwiches and juices. Amidst the busy and chaotic situation of the garden, Leila saw the radiant woman in glasses. Her mid-length hair was pulled up in a ponytail with some of her hair falling on her face. She stood

Of course, she noticed Harriet’s hostility towards her. It was fairly obvious that Taylor was the root cause. She understood it. Though she wanted to steer away from the two, she could not just let Harriet speak to her like that, could she?She’s not a kind lady that she’d let someone speak to her like this. Especially to those who were asking for it…“Taylor, is she one of your artists? How come you never recommended her to me for my upcoming fashion show?”Leila’s question was purely out of curiosity. Although she was active on social media, she hadn’t heard of any actress named Harriet, so she wanted to know. Taylor, with a wide grin, answered, “She’s not my artist… So I can’t really guarantee her marketing impact…”“I don’t think you need any more promoting!” he added with conviction. Leila was surprised that he backed her up. She thought Taylor would support Harriet. After all, she is his date. This is his chance to gain more of her favor by acting like a white knight. But h

Leila’s mouth gaped as she stared at the hunk who was towering before her. He beamed, smiling mischievously at the panicking Leila. “I saw you around the mall so I figured I should say hi.”This man was not at all fazed with Leila’s glaring eyes. With Leila’s reaction, it was obvious that he was not a welcome presence in Leila’s life. Leila frowned. She doesn’t like him around. “You can go, I’m busy.”“Aww, don’t say that. I can join you for a casual stroll in the mall,” he insisted. “Andrei, just leave. I don’t need company,” said Leila firmly. She quickly turned to the sales associate and passed the bag that she was holding. “I’ll take these.”Sensing the tension between the two, the associate immediately processed Leila’s order. While waiting, she sat on the couch nearby and ignored Andrei. She then took out her phone to pass the time. She wanted to seem busy so Andrei wouldn’t bug her and leave. However, it seems that he was a much of an insistent man than she initially thou
