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
Simon curled his thin lips. He had been waiting for her to say this.“If you insist on having her be your ambassador, why don’t you pass her to me to handle? I have a professional team for all promotions and packaging-related work. I can prevent her from being around Eugene and stop them from having any kind of conflicts.”Sharon finally understood what he wanted. He said that he would not let Fern appear in front of Eugene, but in reality, he just did not want Sharon to interact with Fern too much.“I didn’t expect you to be so scheming as a man. Are you afraid that I’ll pursue her and that I’ll fall in love with a woman?” She scoffed coldly.The man rolled his eyes and leaned down to get close to her ear. He said in a low voice, “Before I can get you, I won’t allow anyone to be an obstacle.”Heh… This statement was so overbearing!Sharon’s heart tightened while her breathing became rapid. She quickly suppressed the pounding of her heart and said with a cold face, “Don’t worry,
Fern could feel him loosening his grip on her, and she felt her heart falling into the abyss once again.She knew it would be impossible for them to get back together but she still said such a thing. Was she not bringing this upon herself by doing it? Now, she could see his true face once again. On the surface, it seemed as if he cared for her, but in reality, he was afraid that people would find out about their precious relationship.It felt as if her heart had been ripped apart. It was so painful that it was making it hard for her to breathe.She wanted to slap herself. Why was she still fantasizing about him?Her heart ached, but she still had to pretend that she was fine. With a cold and mocking smile, she said, “Look, you can’t give me what I want! If that’s the case, please don’t pretend you’re doing this for my sake. Do you know that what you’re doing now is very selfish and annoying?”Eugene’s face fell, and he allowed her to yell at him, taking it as if she was venting
