Chapter 31: Hometown

A woman with pinkish fair skin tucked her platinum blonde short hair behind her ears. Her bloody red nails matched the color of her pouty lips. Her light brown eyes were almost golden yellow because of the rays of the sun hitting them. Her aura was charming and seductive. A total head-turner. She took a sip of a glass of pinot noir as she glanced out of the window. Her heart pounded as she saw the sunny skies of her hometown from outside the window.“Ladies and gentlemen, we have successfully landed in Centriona International Airport. Centriona Airlines welcomes you to the country’s capital, Lieren City…”Lieren City. It has been years and finally, she’s back. She felt all sorts of emotions. She can’t help but recall all the horrid things that happened before she went abroad. She was not dumb. She knows that even the fire that engulfed 40% of their factory has something to do with the Yu and Parker family. After all, how can the Yu family be extremely familiar with the way that th

Chapter 32: Not A Saint

Leila’s slumped on the large couch in her apartment in Lieren City. She was jet lagged and so the only thing that she wanted to do was to sleep and ignore the world for a week. Unfortunately for her, she cannot do so. She still has a lot of things to deal with. Especially now that she decided to open her atelier. Back in Paris, she was making her dresses in a small apartment. It was messy and unorganized. And so she could only accommodate a few clients. Now, she’s taking a bold step to scale up her business. It was such a big decision to make. After all, she’s no longer working a regular job, she now has to run her atelier. At first, she was a little hesitant. However, with her friend’s encouragement, she decided to proceed to build her dream atelier. She bought an old house near her apartment in the city center. Her friend, Phylian, already coordinated with his friend, Architect Maxwell Yang of YJL Corporation to take charge of the construction of her studio. She was very specifi

Chapter 33: Most Eligible Bachelors

East CityLeila waited inside her favorite ramen shop a few streets away from their old high school. It was also near Rui’s workplace at the University of Centriona. The place was packed with students who were eating affordable student meals. It was a good thing that a table was available, so she quickly placed her tote bag on top of it to save it for her and Rui. She casually left her bag and gift bags on the table before going to the counter to order ramen. “One shoyu and tonkatsu ramen, please.”After paying for their food, she took the table number before placing it on their table. The only thing left now is the waiting game. She knows that their order will take a while because of the volume of people in the shop today. She was even confident that Rui would arrive earlier than their food. In the meantime, she busied herself by browsing on her phone. Her news feeds still showed her Lianna’s face about three times now and the boy group, Luna’s latest activities. Her social media

Chapter 34: Find a boyfriend first!

Rui smirked. “A friend you say…”“Let’s see…”She thought about Taylor Lown, her husband’s energetic friend. He owns and manages GEM Entertainment. Her cousin, Zacharias Lohr is a talent under Gem Entertainment. So she knows a few stuff about him. She has a good impression of him, so perhaps pairing him and Leila might work…“I know someone… Maybe you can check him out first and then you decide if he’s your type?”Leila’s lips curled into a smile. Rui’s never one to introduce men to her. Rui is very selective. If the guy is not up to Rui’s standards for her then she won’t bother. She doesn’t care who she introduces, she just wants to get to know someone. She was bored to death!It would be great if someone saved her from the deepest ends of boredom. Or—better yet, share it with her.“I like that!”“We can do that after I meet your husband—and also a shopping weekend. How does that sound?”Rui gave her a thumbs up. “Sounds good!”…During the remaining days of the week, she busied h

Chapter 35: Save her from her own stupidity

The two busied themselves hopping over from store to store. She was helping Rui shop for clothes that she could use for work. Of course, plain blouses and trousers would work. However, Leila wanted to find stylish yet practical clothes for Rui to wear. The last store that they visited was Chanel. Rui was trying on a few bags in front of the mirror to see what color she’d like to get. On the other hand, Leila busied herself by looking at small leather goods. She was trying to look for a new cardholder to use. “What leather are you looking for, Miss?” asked the sales associate. “A lambskin would be nice… And do you have it in red or perhaps blue?”“I’ll take a look. One second, Miss.”“Is that her?”As she waited for the associate, she heard a very familiar voice from behind. She turned around to see who it was. Upon seeing her face, Leila’s mood soured. “Sister, I didn’t recognize you! Your hair is weird so I didn’t notice you!”“I heard you’ve been messing around with the French

Chapter 36: Finalły meet you

Inside a moody office at the top of a high-rise building in Lieren City’s business center, a man rose from his swivel chair. “Sir, Miss Leila encountered Miss Ayla in the mall earlier today. They have a small argument with you being their topic.”The corners of his lips curled. Hearing Leila argue to Ayla about him elated him. “It seems her attempts to find another man is futile…”“What happened to Nikolai? Did he date the model that we sent?” he asked. His subordinate promptly nodded. “He is, sir.”“See? No men will last for two weeks for her. That’s why she’s labeled as a playgirl. They cannot handle the simple tests I’m sending her men. How can I sleep soundly if I will hand her over to cheating assholes like them?”Julius smirked. All along, he was manipulating Leila’s dating life. As such, Leila was not able to find a stable relationship to settle into. Even though she has a long list of suitors, they are not able to go further with her mainly because of Julius’ interference.

Chapter 37: Big shots in the entertainment industry

His voice was deep and hoarse. And his light peal of laughter caught Leila off guard. He was extremely charismatic!‘It’s no wonder why he’s the country’s famous playboy! He is so charming!’This was not the first time that Leila met such a handsome man. She has encountered a lot of handsome and manly gentlemen that she’s so used to. Since she is working in the fashion industry, she is, of course, surrounded by beauty. Phyllis’ report did not mention that his presence would be this… memorable. “Mr. Lown, I heard about you from my mother. You invested in NM Group, right?” she directly asked. Taylor nodded. “Yes. It seems that you know a few of your mother's business dealings.”“Well, I need to know. After all, I have to be careful around our partners.”Leila’s voice was calm, but there was a hint of mischievousness in her tone. She was not shy nor reserved. She was confident and elegant. Taylor got a hint of what Leila was implying. Of course, it applies to anyone in the same busi

Chapter 38: Long overdue

She slowly stepped back as she gripped her phone tightly. “I’ll talk to you later. Send me the deets, please. Thanks.”Her hands started to tremble in his presence. But she tried her best to conceal it. She forced a smile before turning to leave. “Are you leaving already? This is the first time that I've seen you in a while,” he directly said. His voice became deeper, but his tone… It never changed. His tone was as gentle as ever. “It’s so nice seeing you again,” he added. Leila awkwardly looked at him. ‘You speak as if we had a very amicable relationship. The audacity!’She smiled. “It’s not,” she said, as a matter of fact. She stood tall and confidently faced him. If there’s anything that she feels for him, it’s fierce anger. Her blood is curling at the sight of this man. She hated him to her core, and her whole body was trembling. Still, she acted cool. She cannot let him see that she’s affected by the issue that they have forcefully thrown in the bin. ‘If it’s scrappe

Chapter 39: Uncovered Leila’s secret

Taylor carried Leila out of the bar by using the VIP exit, exclusive to the room that they booked. The VIP room that Taylor usually books has exclusive access straight to their own private parking space. This is very useful for artists like Luna who want to avoid the press. He did not waste any second and hopped inside the van. He carefully let Leila rest on the seat next to him. “Are you this weak with alcohol that you pass out out of nowhere?” he asked as he stared at her. He noticed the frowns on her forehead and so he smoothened them with his long and bony fingers. She seemed to be having trouble sleeping.‘What happened to her? Do I need to bring her to the hospital?’ he thought. His assistant, Eric Jang, rushed to sit on the passenger seat with the stuff that Taylor left inside. “Sir, I heard someone looking for Miss Leila…”Taylor’s brows raised, intrigued. “Who?”“They’re Mr. Yu’s men…”“How come they’re looking for her?”“I saw them talking outside before she went inside

Chapter 40: Undetected

“Sir, Miss Ayla is downstairs. She wanted to invite you for a meal.”Julius continued to flip through the reports he received, not paying attention to what his assistant just said. “Should I invite Miss Ayla in?”Julius blankly looked at his assistant as if he was asking a ridiculous question. Ayla Parker is Leila’s half-sister. She’s the daughter of Allen Parker, their business partner. The Parker family has always acted so arrogant around them. It was as if he owed them a favor for getting them as their manufacturer. Truth be told, he was so dissatisfied with their work for the past few years that he’s considering manufacturing their products in-house. The quality is just incomparable to NM Group’s. The only reason why they remained as a partner is because of their prices. And now, Ayla is acting as if she’s the mistress of this building. She visits his office as if they have a close relationship with each other. “Annoying.”“When did I ever eat with her alone?”“What right does
