"You want me to apologise to her? On the school platform?" Merissa asked in bewilderment while looking from her father's stoic face to her mother's solemn one, unable to believe her ears she repeated the question.

"Really?"

"Yes, you'll have to apologise using your actual profile. It would be good if you did a video, instead of a write-up," Mr Smith replied and Merissa's face turned pale.

"Father! Why would I have to bow my head to the likes of her? Can't you just settle their family with some money and then have them take the post down? They are the ones that need to apologise to us, not the other way around!" She whined.

"We can't. You saw the way they reacted yesterday. And even now, the whole thing has escalated beyond what we can control and to settle it, we will need you to apologise to her," Mrs Smith explained calmly.

"But mother! If I apologise to her, then it would mean I am admitting to doing what she said!" Merissa voiced and Mr Smith scowled.

"Did you not do them? Did you

    "Oh! You are here!" Celina exclaimed as she pulled open the door to see Lily standing by the door awkwardly."Hello!" Lily greeted with an awkward smile, feeling the eyes of those walking by on her. Celina chuckled as she noticed how uncomfortable Lily was, she pulled her into the executive dorm and closed the door behind her."I'm sorry for bringing you here this late," Celina breathed out. "There was no one else I could call," she added."It's fine, I had nothing to do tonight anyway. Is there a reason you have called me here though? And did those securities know I was coming beforehand?" Lily asked curiously."Yes, I told them you would stop by," Celina explained."Oh, that explains it, I was wondering why they casually allowed me into the executive building without question." Lily chuckled as she sat on the couch. She looked around the room, feeling impressed by the extravagant yet simple decorations used."So, the Paris event has been brought forward and it will be taking place

    Merissa screamed angrily as she threw her phone across the room. Her face flushed with a bright shade of red, showing how angered she was."Lily!" She gritted out with a cold and malicious tone."I will ruin your life just like you have done to mine! I will make you regret your existence!" She declared. Mrs Smith pushed open the door after knocking twice without any reply. She paused at the door as she noticed Merissa's disoriented appearance and puffy eyes."Mom!" Merissa choked up as she noticed her mother's presence in the room."Did something happen during the dinner with the Stark? Your father has been angry since you two returned," Mrs Smith asked curiously. "Was the deal cancelled?" She asked, making Merissa who had just managed to reign in her tears burst out crying again."I don't want to marry into the Stark family again. My life will be miserable there!" She cried out and Mrs Smith felt an ache in her heart."Tell me, what happened?" She probed as Merissa narrated the din

    "Hello, you must be Lily, Celina told me a lot about you," Mrs William greeted as Lily entered William's home. "Hello, Mrs William, I am Lily, Miss Celina's junior," Lily greeted with a polite smile, making the older woman smile."You don't have to be nervous or overly polite with me. Come on in, the others are here." Mrs William beckoned as she led Lily into a large hall where two males that looked to be around the same age as Lily and a middle-aged man were already waiting."These are the other members of your team, try to mingle and get to know one another. Celina will be with you shortly." Mrs William smiled and left.Lily stood awkwardly by the door as all three pairs of eyes were fixated on her, some with curiosity and others with plain acknowledgement. "You are the protagonist of that fashion school gossip, aren't you?" The shorter guy with long and curly black hair asked, his question taking Lily by surprise."I don't think that's the kind of questions you ask people when yo

    "Welcome to the Paris fashion show of the year!" The host announced and cheers erupted through the hall as the audience clapped with enthusiasm. "As you all know, this event is held once every year ranging from three days to one month and this year we have something more exciting to add!" he added and the audience cheered even more. "Alright! This year we've seen a lot of business growth fashionistas. We are proud to announce to you that seven companies are participating in this event this year. Each company has a representative for both senior and junior segments!""These are the list of the companies participating in this year's fashion show! First, we have our three big sponsors, Gefine, Lam and Brianz. And then there is Apil, Maxi, Gaven's and PeenPii...""Huh! I always hate the introduction part of these events. It's always so boring and too long. I would not have attended this part if it weren't for Mrs Williams insisting," Avon complained while making a disgruntled face. "Sh

    "You still have not gotten in contact with the expert who developed the Waves software?" Chairman Watson, Mark's grandfather asked with a dissatisfied tone as he poured himself a cup of freshly brewed tea."They told me they had some other commitments and it takes them a while to settle it," Mark replied calmly, unbothered by the old man's temper."And you let them off just like that? What if they are going to work for another company? What should we do by then? For those genius experts, their newest works are always better than the last one and you know what that means when our rivals get them to work for them?" The old man argued, his face contoured in annoyance as he glared at his grandson.Despite Mark being his favourite amongst his children and grandchildren, Chairman Watson forgets the favouritism when the group business is involved. Mark smiled and picked up a cup of tea. "You have nothing to worry about, I already have a project planned with them and it is scheduled to begin

    "Pardon?" Light asked in surprise as he looked Lily over, wanting to see if they'd ever met."You don't know me?" Lily asked with a creased brow and Light frowned in dissatisfaction, thinking she was a fan who was trying to get close to him by acting familiar.Despite his dissatisfaction, he smiled politely towards her. "I don't think I have ever met you ma'am," he replied and Lily scoffed before bringing her phone out to show him a picture she had snapped with Alana and Gary at the studio."Are you trying to hide your identity from me or something? You said you don't know anything about modelling while you are an artist!" She voiced, feeling somewhat annoyed.Light pursed his lips as he looked over the picture, his heart racing while looking at the other him in the picture."I think there is a misunderstanding here," Celina cut in. "And why don't we talk about this when the introduction is over?" She suggested and Lily turned to leave.Celina looked at Light and noticed the unreadab

    The line went silent after she narrated her experience to Gary. She heard a shuffling on the other side, followed by the sobbing voice of a young child. She could hear Gary walk away from the phone to calm the sobbing child before coming back to the call."I'm sorry for the distraction, I had to attend to something," he apologised calmly."It's fine, are you babysitting? Do you need me to call back later?" Lily asked curiously."There won't be a need for that. They are my younger siblings and I'm in charge of them," he replied."Oh. So what do you say, would you like to meet him?" She asked, going back to the main topic."I don't want to have anything to do with him or his family," he replied. "You can tell him that there is no need to look for me, I know him and I don't want to have anything to do with him, he doesn't have to look for me or anything like that," he explained."Okay. I will let him know!" Lily replied casually, despite her nagging curiosity, she knew it wasn't in her p

    As Lily entered the studio, her eyes were immediately drawn to the rows of cameras lining the room, trained on every corner and angle to capture the entire process of the segment.Sitting at the high table of the inner room were four well-known, world-class, designers who would be serving as judges for the segment.She, like the rest of the representative designers, was led to the corner of the room, where they would wait until it was their turn to present their designs.Lily sat quietly, silently gauging her opponent by listening to the judge's comments. The representatives were called up one after the other, and they were all asked the same set of questions before being sent back to their seats to await their results.Soon it was Lily's turn to step up. As she stood in front of the judges, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves and smiled politely. "Good morning," she greeted."Oh, hello, what is your name, and what group are you representing?" Beatrice, a female judge, asked."

    "We are getting sued for plagiarism?" Mr. Wallace asked in bewilderment as he read the contents of the letter the lawyer had brought to him. "Why would we get sued for plagiarism? We didn't steal anything from your company.""Mr. Wallace, what you are getting sued for is right in there," the lawyer replied with a stoic expression. "Your latest software, 'Dream,' is a copy of our latest product, and it was released just a few days after our. The action is suspicious, and your company will need to prove you created your version." Sighing, Mr. Wallace frowned deeply, trying to make sense of the situation. There was no way they could have plagiarised their product when they were supposed to release the software a few weeks before their company released theirs.It was due to the delay from the team and Lily's absence that the release date was delayed. Besides, StarLite's product is way better than theirs; who should be the one suing for plagiarism?Massaging his temple, Mr. Wallace met t

    "We meet again," Lily chuckled as Roseline walked into her office. "I was surprised when my assistant said you are here to see me."Roseline smiled wryly, her eyes locked onto Lily's. "I'm sure you were. Even I was surprised that I'm seeking you out first. Be happy you are the first to make me bend like this." She snarled and sat down opposite Lily without being invited too.Lily's expression remained amused, but a hint of curiosity crept into her voice. "What brings you here, Roseline? I thought we settled our... differences last time."Roseline's smile faltered, and for a moment, Lily glimpsed a flicker of rage. "I would not call that settling differences," she replied. "However, I'm here to offer you a proposal."Raising a brow, Lily relaxed into her chair, eyes full of curiosity. "Proposal?" She echoed, and Roseline hummed while fishing out a small white envelope with the Anderson logo on it. "That's a fifty million dollar check and some sure investment links. I'm offering it

    Lily pursed her lips as she narrowed her eyes towards the document placed in front of her. She sighed, looking from the papers towards a solemn-looking Bryan on the other side of the table. "Say something," Bryan urged, feeling uncomfortable by her silence. "I'm not sure what exactly I'm supposed to say," Lily replied. "I've gone through all sorts of possibilities. Every possible scenario I could ever think of has played continuously in my mind while awaiting the result of the investigation. And now you are providing me with this?" She breathed out."I swear it would be more believable if you said one of Henry's people betrayed him. Hell, it would have been more believable if you said it was his wife that decided to make his life miserable by threatening him with that information." She continued, her brows furrowing deeper as she continued to glare at the papers laid in front of her. "Honestly, I would have believed anything but the fact that all those threat notes and pictures wer

    "I heard there is a new board member joining the company." Henry asked with a frown as he scanned through the company document Williams had brought. "Yes," Williams replied, preparing himself for the earful that he knew was coming. "How did it happen? Did I not tell you no more selling of shares? And definitely not to outsiders?!" Henry asked as his frown deepened in dissatisfaction. Williams pursed his lips, making no attempt to give excuses for his incompetence. How was he supposed to explain to his already angered father that he wasn't aware of the shares circulating underground until it was sold out?That would only expose him to more of his father's rage, and seeing the sore mood the man was already in, there is no way he would risk it.Henry's face reddened with anger, his voice rising. "Who is this person? What's their stake in our company?"Williams hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "The new board member's name is Lily Turner. She's a wealthy investor with… consider

    "What brings you here?" Frederick asked as Mark casually walked into his office. "What do you think?" Mark replied with a smirk. "I don't believe we are close enough for me to just stop by for a greeting, are we?" He added and took a seat opposite Frederick. Frederick glared at Mark, hating how the latter was talking to him so casually. Swallowing his anger, he relaxed into his seat and raised a brow. "I don't remember having an appointment with you. So it will save us both some time if you go straight to the point; we are both busy men after all." Mark hummed and brought out a flash drive from his inner pocket. "We did have an appointment, but I guess your subordinates are incompetent; they couldn't even inform you about such things. Anyways, I'm here to talk about the collaboration for the government project." He announced."As much as I would like to handle both the construction and security system installation, I do not have the time to do it now that I have another branch to

    "Marry me, and we can use your family's influence to pressure him out," he offered. "In the end, you'll get what you want while I also get mine." Roseline paused, her eyes narrowing the longer she heard Frederick talk. By the end of his speech, she burst out laughing uncontrollably, making Frederick's eye twitch in annoyance. "What's so funny?" He gritted out as she forced herself to sober up from her hysterical laughter."Oh, it's not funny," she replied coldly. "I'm just laughing at the absurdity of the proposal you just made. "I may not want to get married to those old fools, but I'm not desperate enough to settle for you, Frederick." She announced.Frederick balled his hands against the table, his eyes twitching uncontrollably while his lips curled into a sneer at the insult thrown his way. "You are saying I'm comparable to those men with one leg in the grave; how remarkable, Miss Anderson," he snarled, and Roseline shrugged."You are free to interpret my words anyhow you want,

    "What's wrong with you?" Frederick asked with a frown as Roseline stormed into his office with a flushed face, slamming the door behind her without a care.Roseline, not saying a thing in reply to his question, dropped her bag and walked towards his wine shelf to serve herself a drink. "I'm glad you are comfortable enough to waltz around here like you own the place," Frederick hissed, his tone full of sarcasm and annoyance."They spent last night together," Roseline gritted out after downing the whole glass of wine. Reaching to serve herself another glass, she decided against it and took the whole bottle with her as she sat on the couch opposite Frederick's working area."You are talking about Mark and Lily, right?" Frederick asked with raised brows as he relaxed into his chair, and Roseline nodded in reply before taking a big gulp of wine. She scowled as the pictures she had received resurfaced in her mind. "Mark hasn't slept outside his home, not even at his parent's since he move

    "Hey," Lily waved shyly as Mark's car came to a stop in front of her studio. Mark smiled and got down from the car, dressed in a casual black dress shirt and pants.He reached into the back seat of his car and brought out a bouquet and a box of sweets. Mark approached Lily with a bright smile, his eyes warm and inviting as he took in the sight of her."Hey there," he greeted her, his voice smooth and comforting. "You look lovely tonight."Lily blushed, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink as she accepted the bouquet and the box of sweets. "Thank you," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of nervousness as she took a sniff of the flower. "These are beautiful." She compliments."Not as beautiful as you," Mark replied, his tone sincere. "I thought we could start the evening with a little sweetness."Lily smiled, her eyes bright with excitement as she opened the box of sweets, the tantalising aroma wafting between them. "This is perfect," she murmured, selecting a delicate choco

    Lily let out a groan as she read the reminder from Dark Star about his last work. Somehow, she had pushed the work out of her mind almost immediately after she had gotten it.However, having been reminded of it, she read through their chat again to refresh her memories of the job description."Investigate a hacker… ok?" She muttered to herself as she continued to read. "I still don't understand why I'm the one who wants to do such a simple job but anything for the money... and the opportunity to screw them over, I guess?"Without wasting time, she logs into the Hamilton's company security system, navigating through the angles and corners, trying to find the traces of the hacker and what they had done or undone."It's pretty easy to break in though," she commented with a frown. "How long ago have they updated the security system around their database?"Lily's fingers danced across the keyboard as she delved deeper into Hamilton's security system. The ease with which she navigated the n
