Was Eugene attracted to Fern because of this? Regardless of the reason, she would not allow someone to snatch him from her, especially if it was a lowly woman like this! “Oh, why are you here?” Hera asked, feigning a look of surprise. Fern was shocked to see her as well. Looking at the coffee stains on her dress, she knew that Hera had deliberately spilled the coffee on her.“Hera, who is she?” Several of Hera’s friends, who were all here to support her, stood by her side. They all gave Fern a once-over. "I don't know her, but she was the waitress that spilled wine on me during my birthday party," Hera said in a mocking tone. "Oh, so she's the one that spilled wine on you. Why don't you continue being a waitress? Why are you here to participate in an audition?" "That's right. Do you expect Miss Newton to select a waitress to be the ambassador of her perfume? Hahaha…" Hera’s friends mocked and ridiculed Fern. The commotion attracted the other candidates’ attention as
Everyone was shocked when Fern picked up the scissors from the table. They thought that she wanted to take revenge on Hera out of anger. They did not expect her to use the pair of scissors to cut her dress. In the blink of an eye, she had cut off the part of her dress with the coffee stain on it. Her gown was transformed into a side slit dress, which revealed one of her long, slender, and fair legs. She gave off a mesmerizing sense of sexiness! Everyone took in a sharp breath. What a bold woman! Eugene stared at her exposed leg, his gaze darkening as his expression stiffened. Fern turned to look at Sharon. “Can I participate in the audition like this?” she asked. A hint of admiration flashed across Sharon’s gaze after looking at what she had done. She did not panic in the face of imminent danger and managed to resolve her problems in such a short amount of time. Her fondness for Miss Thompson continued to grow. “Yes, you can,” Sharon replied. She looked at Eugene,
Eugene pursed his lips tightly and continued to stare at her without uttering a single word. After looking at him coldly for a moment, she turned her face away and said, “I have to go for the audition now. Please don’t disturb me anymore.” After speaking, she walked away from him and left immediately. Fern walked into the washroom and looked at her own reflection in the mirror. Her face was slightly pale, and the cheap lipstick she applied to her lips had faded away. Although her lipstick was cheap, she still had to touch up her makeup. Even though she was here just because of the cash prize, she would still gain a decent amount of money if she were selected as the perfume ambassador. She pulled out the lipstick that she had bought in a small shop and was about to apply it when a voice rang out from behind her. “Wait a moment.”Fern was shocked. When she turned around, she saw Sharon entering the washroom. Sharon walked toward her and took a glance at the lipstick in her h
After her son asked her this question, Sharon was reminded of Simon and Sebastian’s presence. She turned around to meet Simon’s dark gaze. From the expression on his face, it seemed like she had done something that hurt his feelings!She moved her gaze away and cleared her throat. “You’re still a child. Don’t ask so many things,” she said while caressing Sebastian’s head. Simon, who was seated beside Sebastian, voiced out, “If that’s the case, I should be able to ask you that question as your suitor, right?” Simon asked. He curled his lips as he gave her a sideways glance.Sharon looked at him again with a raised brow. “As my suitor, you should mind your own behavior. It’ll be despicable if you do too many things,” she remarked. He narrowed his piercing eyes, emanating an air of threatening danger. Someone else had caught her eye but he could not even ask about it? “Ah, I know who has caught Mommy’s eye! It’s that beautiful lady on the stage!” Sebastian exclaimed as he poin
Back then, she was the campus belle whom all the boys chased after in university. How did they get to know each other? It was an amusing story… Once, she had run to a forest on the mountain behind the school to hide from one of her suitors. When she climbed up a tree, she stumbled into him. He had been lying on a thick branch of the tree. It was a hot summer afternoon, so Eugene was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. Nevertheless, his simple outfit failed to mask the noble air that he exuded. Her mind went blank once she set her eyes on him after climbing the tree. She had many suitors and plenty of them were good-looking. However, this was the first time she had seen such a handsome man. Amidst the chaos, she had barged into his peaceful world. From then onward, their fates were intertwined with each other. Whenever Eugene recalled the incident that had taken place on that day, he felt like God had decided to play a prank on him. If he knew that he was not c
The next day after Sharon had selected Fern as her perfume ambassador, someone released a scandal regarding her online. They first exposed her for working as a server in various restaurants and hotels. They also mentioned that she worked as a bar girl at night and criticized her for having a messy, indecent private life. Another devastating scandal revealed the fact that she had gotten pregnant before graduating from university. After that, she was expelled from the university and gave birth to her child without getting married. Nobody knew who the father of her child was. Perhaps, she was not sure as well. In other words, this meant that she already had a messy lifestyle since her university years and had messed around with many men. If Sharon kept her decision to have Fern as her ambassador after these series of scandals, it would definitely affect the establishment and credibility of her brand. Unless… she replaced Fern with someone else. Sharon handed the iPad over
“He’s dead,” Fern articulated the two words nonchalantly. Although that man was still alive, he was already dead to her. Eugene’s heart gradually sank as it did previously when he heard her reply. He could not describe what he was feeling right now. Sharon sighed sentimentally. Why did Fern’s experience remind her so much of herself? They were both single mothers, and their children were without their fathers’ care from a young age...However, she was suspicious about something. Was Eugene not the father of Fern’s child? Nevertheless, she was not sure about what had happened between the both of them. Perhaps the child really had nothing to do with her brother. “I’ve told you everything that I can. If you think that I’m not qualified to endorse your perfume, you have to pay me compensation. We can then dissolve our cooperation,” Fern said regretfully. However, she still wanted the money. Sharon returned to her senses and said, “I just wanted you to be honest with me. Sinc
The man lifted Sharon’s chin to force her to look into his eyes. His handsome eyebrows were furrowed together and a hint of displeasure was hidden in his bottomless sharp eyes.She was suddenly amused. Was he jealous that she was treating another woman kindly?Was he being jealous of a woman?She curled her lips and said deliberately, “Yeah, I’m pursuing her. I want her to be mine, is that not allowed?”“It’s not allowed,” Simon uttered those three words insipidly from his lips.Before she said anything, he continued, “Firstly, I’m your person. Next, she’s Eugene’s person.”Sharon pressed her lips together and pushed his chest with her hands that were resting there. “Firstly, you’re just pursuing me and not my person. Secondly, I signed her to be my ambassador and she has nothing to do with my brother.”She frowned. How did he know about Fern and her brother?Simon straightened his back and towered over her with a half-smile. “The internet is having a field day over her dark pa
