Sylvia didn't verbally agree with Priscilla, but she was tempted. It was fortunate that she had decided to visit the warehouse today, hoping to chance upon them sewing the dress.In fact, Sylvia had first gone to the factory today, only to learn that the dress had been moved to the warehouse.Sylvia had anticipated the place to be empty at midnight, planning to capture footage of the dress and fulfill Priscilla's wish. While she had no immediate desire to leave Light Moon Designs, helping Priscilla achieve her wish and having her owe a debt would serve as an exit strategy in case the company attempted to force her out.Naturally, Sylvia wanted to stay in Light Moon Designs. No other design company could rival them. It was the dream company for designers worldwide. She had invested a lot of effort and dedication into entering Light Moon Designs. However, if she couldn't stay, she was determined to leave with her head held high.But now, thinking about cooking for Lincoln, Sylvia
Anastasia blushed. "Uncle, why are you bringing this up?"Sure, she liked Cedric, but the way he treated her left her devastated. Her affection seemed worthless in his eyes. She couldn't discern where she went wrong or why she couldn't capture his attention.First, it was Cynthia—and now Faye. She couldn't understand how she fell short of the two. Cynthia's case was understandable because she had saved Cedric once. Consequently, he was willing to take care of her, pamper her, and provide everything she needed. But why Faye? What did she have that Anastasia didn't?The laughter from the other end interrupted Anastasia's train of thought. "Haha, you've grown up now. If you like someone, you should go after them."Biting her lip, Anatasia felt aggrieved and sniffed. "But he only has eyes for Faye. He went to great lengths for her sake. He even obtained those expensive diamonds despite knowing how difficult it'd be. If it weren't for you, Uncle, I'm afraid those diamonds would ha
Mason entered Cedric's office and found him absorbed in reviewing official documents at his desk. "Boss, Mrs. Shaw's diamonds have been released," he said in a soft voice. Cedric raised an eyebrow. "Hmm." Even though Faye had the diamonds she needed, Cedric was offended by the fact that someone dared to withhold his wife's cargo. Hence, Cedric made a call to Jorn City and ordered the immediate release of Faye's diamonds. Next on the agenda was a thorough overhaul of a certain bureau in Jeorgia. Whoever dared to confiscate his wife's diamonds probably had connections with all sorts of shady people. While he generally paid little attention to others unless they posed a direct threat, messing with Faye was something Cedric couldn't tolerate."Officer Tabbett said the Lynch family might not be the only ones involved. There might be another force at play. It's a bit complicated," Mason remarked. "If they intend to expand the office building, tell him that the Shaw family will
In a dilapidated and abandoned shack, Astrid found herself thrown onto a meager bed after being taken away from the police station.Initially, when someone came to take her away, she thought she was being rescued. However, upon seeing Anastasia, she realized she was merely brought to a different hell. Anastasia grew up in a gang and was skilled in fighting. Although her brother had turned over a new leaf and become the CEO of a proper business, her parents still managed the largest gang in Jeorgia. Hence, Anastasia remained the feared female overlord of the area. Astrid had a history of crossing paths with Anastasia, leveraging her role as the person in charge of Allure Designs with the support of the Lynch family.The two were enemies, and things didn't settle down until two years ago. Anastasia orchestrated Astrid's removal from the police station and then proceeded to bring them here to their current location, leaving Astrid to ponder her intentions."What do you want?" A
When a report came in about the diamonds being released, Faye intended to visit the warehouse.Jamie had hurried inside, stating that she received a call from customs issuing the release of Faye's cargo.Faye narrowed her eyes and asked with a hint of mockery, "Are you sure?""Yes. I confirmed it multiple times. They've released the cargo." Jamie, too, found it odd. They withheld the cargo at the most critical time, yet chose to release it now. It was clear that there was an underlying issue. "Go collect it with Mr. Colt, then. Get him to bring along a few bodyguards," Faye said and immediately made a call to Cedric. As soon as he answered, she asked, "Is this the surprise you prepared for me?"When she headed out earlier that morning, Cedric adjusted her clothes and held her close before saying, "Good luck at work. I have a surprise for you later."Cedric smirked. "Do you like it?""Of course. It belongs to me after all. Why wouldn't I like it?" Faye rolled her eyes. She c
Upon Faye's return from the warehouse, she discovered Cedric patiently occupying her office. Taking a step inside, she observed him comfortably settled in her chair, examining the items scattered across her desk.Closing the distance, his expression shifted from surprise to eager anticipation. A radiant smile graced his face as soon as he locked eyes with Faye.Faye felt her breath caught in her chest, her heart racing with just one look from Cedric. The intensity of his look left her wondering if he held some enchanting power over her—an irresistible force that seemed to tug at the very core of her being. Faye was rendered useless against his charm.She took a deep breath and cleared her throat before walking over to him. "Are you tired of being the CEO and decided to take on the role of chief designer instead?A mischievous smirk played on Cedric's lips as he smoothly pulled her into his arms, nuzzling against her neck. "I much prefer just being with the chief designer."She
Faye lay in bed the whole afternoon, unable to move. Cedric was initially going to buy her medicine, but since Faye was a doctor herself, she'd told him that there was no medicine more effective than the ones she had. However, even Faye herself couldn't cure the pain she experienced during this time of the month.Cedric could only help by massaging her stomach to provide some relief. Hence, Cedric spent the entire afternoon in the rest area with Faye, massaging her as and when needed. After he brought her hot tea and some painkillers, Faye finally felt a little better. At this point, office hours were already over.Drenched in sweat, Faye took a shower and was grateful for the cool relief that washed over her. She walked out of the restroom and entered the rest area again.However, as soon as she came out, a group of people burst into the room."Ms. Fischer, Ms. Streep insisted on waiting for you here. She said that she wants to invite you to dinner tonight to express her gra
"This is good. Don't eat cold food, have it while it's hot. I'll eat your ice cream for you. Have the soup instead."Recently, Freesia introduced new dishes to their lineup, and Faye hadn't had the opportunity to taste them yet. Hence, when Anastasia suggested coming here, Faye didn't refuse. After sitting down, Cedric poured water into Faye's cup, handed her cutleries, and even picked dishes for her as if there were no one else in the room—completely disregarding Anastasia who sat across the table. As for Lincoln, he was completely ignored as well. The sight of Cedric serving Faye like she was a queen was so majestic that he couldn't help but stare in admiration. Cedric, who was usually distant, exuded a cold air and unparalleled dominance most of the time. Yet he became a mere doting husband when in the presence of Faye.Lincoln had always wondered if Faye and Cedric would get into lots of fights since both of them had strong personalities.In this moment, he came to the rea
