In a coffee, while serving a glass of water to a customer, Sarah accidentally spilled a little on the table."I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."She quickly bowed her head and apologized, but the woman wouldn't let it go. She yelled loudly."Did you do that on purpose? Do you know how expensive my clothes are?""I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."Sarah bowed her head in fear, but the woman was still very angry. Her voice was so loud that everyone around noticed."Call the manager here or pay for these clothes."Sarah could tell that the clothes were very expensive and she couldn't afford to pay for them."I'm sorry, can I wash them and return them to you?"Sarah didn't do it on purpose, and the woman's clothes weren't very dirty, just a little wet at the cuff."Fine."The woman stood up and then threw the entire glass of water on the table into Sarah's face. Sarah couldn't react and stood still."How do you feel? Good? I splashed water on you, so it's fair now. You don't need to wash my clot
Lily always waited for Mark's call, but there was no response."The stunt double has arrived. We can go home and rest."The assistant next to Lily reminded her to go home and rest; it was clear that Lily was not in a good mood that day."I have to go somewhere."Seeing that the stunt double had come to take her place, Lily only wanted to go see Mark. She stood up without greeting anyone, grabbed her bag, and left. The assistant could only bow to everyone and then run after her.Sarah stayed to perform Lily's scenes. She knew that in the final cut for the audience, her face would either be hidden or replaced with Lily's."Sarah, you did very well."Sarah held the script, reading and trying her best to act. The director approached and praised her, making her feel deeply appreciative."Thank you.""If there’s a suitable role, I will invite you to act in it."Hearing this, Sarah felt very happy; she hoped people would remember her even if she only appeared for a few brief seconds."Thank
Emma looked at the clock in front of her and felt very satisfied. She nodded and said, "I'll take this one."Just as Emma was about to take out her unlimited black card from her bag, there was a lot of noise next to her. A girl walked in, covered in designer clothes, which made the staff greet her enthusiastically."I want this one, ring it up for me."The girl walked over, glanced at Emma, then turned to the staff and ordered. Everyone except Kaning approached this girl to attend to her."Excuse me, I chose it first."Emma quickly spoke up, not wanting this watch to fall into someone else's hands. It was a birthday gift for her best friend Nancy."Can you even afford it?"The girl looked at Emma with disdain. It was then that Emma remembered her current appearance. She wasn't in the guise of Emma but of Laura. Her identity would be exposed if she wanted to argue and fight for the watch. Emma's hand, which was about to take out her unlimited black card, hesitated and then pulled back.
Today, Emma returned to Green Mansion, so she stayed there to sleep. It's the weekend, so she doesn't need to go to the company.The next morning, Emma was awakened by a knock on the door. Before she could get up, the door was already opened."Get up quickly, I'm here to take you out."Nancy had run to Emma's bedside and pulled her up. Still looking sleepy, Emma tried to sit up."Why are you here so early today?"Emma curiously looked at Nancy. Normally, whenever they had plans, Emma always had to wait because Nancy was always late."I'm in a good mood today."Emma saw through Nancy's mood and laughed, then pulled Nancy to sit down on the bed."Spill it, what's going on?"Nancy blushed with embarrassment. Seeing this, Emma eagerly asked more questions."I'm dating Dylan now."The smile on Emma's face suddenly faded. She had always wanted to protect her best friend from Mark but forgot that in their past life, Nancy had been deceived by Dylan."He's the guy you always told me about, ri
Nancy felt a bit suspicious about Emma's mysterious demeanor. After calling Ren to pick up David from the nightclub, Emma returned to the car."Do you have something going on?""No, the company has been a bit busy lately, that's all."Nancy didn't think much of it and nodded in understanding. It had been a long time since the two had a chance to hang out on the weekend, and Emma didn't want to waste it. She looked at the back of her car, which was now filled with clothes and jewelry. She couldn't believe that after spending so extravagantly with David's card, he wouldn't come looking for her."Where should we go now?""I don't know either, you know I just c
Emma returned to Green Mansion, lying on her familiar bed. She looked at the clock; it was already 10 PM. The next day, she had to go to David’s company to work.Today was the weekend, so she spent the entire day with Nancy, playing around the city. After showering, Emma received a phone call, and she involuntarily smiled when she saw who it was.“Miss Emma, let’s meet.”The voice of a man came from the other end of the line, and it was none other than David.“You’re asking me out this late?”Although Emma knew she had achieved her goal, she still deliberately provoked him. She held David’s black card in her hand, looking at it. She knew David wasn’t here because she spent his money; he definitely wanted to meet her. David couldn’t let someone he just met hold onto his black card.“Yes, I’m right outside your mansion gate.”Emma was indeed a bit surprised. She went to the balcony to secretly check if David was really tricking her. Today, David had called Laura to pick her up, but she
The next day, Emma woke up early as usual. As soon as she came downstairs, she saw her parents having breakfast."Good morning, Mom, Dad. I'm off to work," Emma greeted."Hmm, aren't you going to have breakfast?" her mother asked, noticing Emma's hurried appearance. She didn't want Emma to leave for work without eating breakfast or taking care of herself."I have a lot to do today. I need to leave early," Emma replied quickly.Her mother wanted to say more, but Emma hurriedly left. She almost got caught by her mother for not actually going to her father's company to work."Did you see anything unusual about that girl?" her mother asked her father suspiciously. Her father calmly continued eating breakfast without looking up, trying to cover for Emma. If her mother found out Emma wasn't working at the company, it would be a big issue."No, Emma seems fine," he replied. "Last night, I even saw her sneakily meeting someone."Her mother still had a hint of suspicion in her eyes. Emma had j
Sarah was just a minor actress and couldn't do anything else. In the following scenes, Lily always makes things difficult for Sarah. Sarah endured Lily's behavior, not daring to say anything because she knew her position. Finally, when the filming was done, she breathed a sigh of relief.Sarah stood in front of many people, not daring to resist, and finally, the day came to an end. Although Sarah had very few scenes, she had to wait for Lily to finish filming, and one side of her face was swollen.When the filming ended, Lily's fans were waiting for her outside. After finishing the shoot, Lily looked extremely tired and irritated. She threw her belongings at her assistant, leaving her to sort them out.As she stepped outside and saw her fans waiting, Lily immediately changed her attitude, smiling brightly and waving at them. At this moment, Sarah also stepped out from behind. She had a swollen face and was using her hand to cover it."Are you okay? The filming earlier was tough for yo
In a coffee shop, Nancy had arrived early. She had already ordered her favorite drink. She sat and looked at the clock, waiting for that person to show up.“Nancy, have you been waiting long?” Dylan hurriedly entered the café and sat down. He asked Nancy how she was, but instead of a warm response, he was met with a cold, indifferent attitude. “Not long.”Dylan had been trying to reach Nancy for several days without success. Today, when she contacted him first, he was very happy.“About what happened the other day, let me explain.” Nancy’s heart had already hardened. Her mood had been heavy these past days. She had made up her mind and was now looking at Dylan, but at that moment, all she could think about was the poor girl. She hoped that the girl’s words were true, and that Dylan was indeed a good man, only changed by circumstances.“No need. Do you know why I asked you to meet me here?” Dylan still didn’t understand, shaking his head. Nancy then gave a sarcastic smile. He had d
Since the day Nancy overheard Dylan telling lies, she hadn’t given him a chance to see her again. She even blocked his number and avoided him at the hospital whenever possible.Nancy didn’t know when she had gotten used to living without Dylan’s help, but she was managing just fine. Although they hadn’t officially broken up yet, she believed it was better to remain calm and let things resolve gradually.One day, after her hospital shift, a young woman with a slightly protruding belly entered her office.“Excuse me, is this Dr. Nancy’s office?”“Yes, it is. Did you come to the wrong place? I’m not an obstetrician,” Nancy replied politely.The woman looked hesitant, and Nancy immediately sensed that she wasn’t there for a medical consultation but rather to discuss something important.“Could you please step outside to talk with me?” the woman asked nervously.“Alright,” Nancy said after a moment’s thought, agreeing out of curiosity to hear what the woman had to say.“What is it? Go ahea
Emma initially paid little attention, but the name on the business card caught her eye. Earlier, she had felt the woman looked familiar, but now she was certain—it was Kaning, someone she had met before.However, something puzzled her. In such a short time, how had an ordinary girl like Kaning transformed and ended up here, looking so different from what Emma remembered?“This might work in your favor,” David remarked, handing Emma Kaning’s business card.“What do you mean?” Emma asked, her curiosity piqued.“You’ll find out soon enough,” David replied cryptically, his calm demeanor masking deeper knowledge.Emma couldn’t fully grasp what David was hinting at, but it was clear he knew something about Kaning. That realization made her even more aware of David’s meticulous nature. It became evident that David had sensed Kaning’s intentions from the moment she approached him. The exchange of contact information was something he had anticipated.Emma also began to suspect that Kaning’s ap
Sarah was at home when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She thought for a moment but couldn’t guess who might be coming to see her.“Mark?”Sarah was surprised to see Mark standing in front of her. Ever since Mark married Lily, his visits had become less frequent. Mark walked into Sarah's house with a displeased expression. In the past, he often came to see Sarah, but recently, she had been busy with work.Mark and Lily had already held their wedding, so he rarely visited Sarah anymore. Before, even after announcing his engagement, Mark would still come to see her frequently.“Something's bothering you, isn’t it?”Looking at his irritated demeanor and sudden visit, Sarah could already piece things together. She knew that Mark had married Lily because she was pregnant. However, after the wedding, Sarah hadn’t seen Lily at all. She simply assumed that Lily was resting and taking care of her pregnancy.“That’s right.”Sarah didn’t know what had made Mark so upset and angry. She po
The news of David and Emma’s engagement sent shockwaves through the public, sparking a whirlwind of discussions. Everyone regarded the couple with admiration. Meanwhile, Mark read the headlines with a deep frown etched on his face.Mark, who had always wanted to marry Emma, now found himself watching as events unfolded in a way he couldn’t control. Taking out his phone, he called someone. The moment the call connected, he spoke curtly:"Take action."Without waiting for a response, he hung up. His sharp gaze hinted at a brewing plan, one that promised to be significant.At Emma’s family company, her older brother Mark had recently been entrusted with her former position by their father upon his return. Emma, in contrast, was now working at David’s company. With both companies being major players in the industry, the impending marriage between Emma and David was expected to strengthen their business alliance further.Today, Emma walked confidently into David’s company, dressed in an el
Today, Helen returned to school. Previously, she had a fight with her father and decided not to go home. In the end, her older brother David stepped in to mediate, and everything was resolved. Helen eventually returned home, but in the days leading up to this, many people had intentionally picked fights with her.At first, Helen ignored them, but their actions became so outrageous that conflicts arose. When Helen was attacked, Gun stepped in to shield her and ended up getting injured himself."Have you heard the news? That company just went bankrupt." "Yeah, wasn’t it the son of the owner who caused trouble for Helen?"As Helen stepped onto campus, she instantly became the center of everyone’s attention. She had no idea what was going on until a girl ran up to her."Sister Helen…"The girl ran up, panting heavily. Helen frowned as the girl took a deep breath before speaking."The person who caused trouble for us the other day has voluntarily dropped out of school, and his family has
Emma returned to the villa and received a phone call. She hesitated, not wanting to answer, but eventually picked up."Emma, let’s meet."Emma let out a scornful laugh and sat down on her bed."Mark, you’re married now. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Why would you want to meet me?""I have something to tell you."No one despised Mark more than Emma did, though Mark still didn’t understand why. He only cared about taking over Emma’s company, oblivious to the fact that David had been relentlessly pressuring his own business. Currently, David’s company was constantly outmaneuvering Mark’s, with David effortlessly winning the most recent contract without breaking a sweat. This left Mark seething with resentment."I don’t want to see you," Emma said firmly."Just five minutes. I really need to talk to you.""I’m afraid Lily or the paparazzi might catch us together. I don’t want Lily to come after me and cause trouble."Since Mark’s outrageous behavior toward Emma—especially
The next morning, Emma woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. She panicked upon realizing she had fallen asleep next to David again. Hastily, she checked her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief before carefully observing David. He was still sound asleep.The night before, after successfully securing the contract, Emma and David drank together but had no idea when they became intoxicated. Luckily, nothing had happened between them, but Emma couldn’t shake her anxiety. She recalled a memory from the night before when David had taken off her glasses.“Laura, you look very familiar. Have we met somewhere before?” “No, we haven’t.”Even though Emma had been drinking, she still managed to snatch her glasses back, fearing that David might discover her false identity as Laura. Seeing him still asleep now, she finally felt at ease. It seemed that he was so drunk he would likely forget everything from last night.Emma quickly grabbed her handbag and left the hotel without any intention of
In moments like these, James truly felt like a soothing balm for the heart of someone as lonely as Nancy. Feeling her pain, James held Nancy tighter, wanting to let her cry as much as she needed. The days ahead would be better; Nancy would return to her normal, cheerful, and happy self. That was exactly what he wished for.Emma had successfully pulled David out of the nightclub. David felt utterly helpless against this stubborn girl. Together, they went to a clothing shop to change outfits.They straightened up their appearance and improved everything to meet the client. At this point, they were already an hour late for the appointment. "Are you sure they haven’t left yet?" "Of course." Emma replied confidently. If she was sure about something, it was always within her control. Fearing her identity might be exposed, Emma only changed her clothes, leaving her hairstyle and makeup intact.When they arrived, David was genuinely surprised to see everyone in high spirits. Emma, too, fel
