“Let him in
Then, Landon smilingly entered, humming a tune with a gleeful expression He was dressed in a white suit as usual
Upon closer look, he did not seem to wear anything underneath his suit despite the cold weather. His tanned and solid chest was exposed, and a platinum necklace hung from his neck. He looked wild, sexy.
and seductive
Landon was the only man in Solana City who could exude such charm in that outfit
“Bro, you look good. Lyse’s medication works, it seems,” Landon remarked and plopped on the couch. He felt relieved seeing Jeremy’s marked improvement.
Ever since Jeremy admitted his feelings for Alyssa, Landon had been mentioning her a lot more
Jeremy cheered up at the mention of Alyssa, but he cast a disgusted look at the skimpy outfit on Landon and warned, “You won’t be let in the next time if you dress like this”
Landon wondered aloud, “But why?”
Jeremy lowered his gaze and pored through his documents “This is an office, not a nightclubs i’d rather ot have people gossiping about my weird links.”
Xavier nearly burst into laughter, leaving Landon squinting as it took him a moment to catch on.
Then, Landon yelled angrily, “You little fucker! I’m straight, okay? Even if you want to bed me, I won’t sleep with you. I’ve got better options out there…”
Jeremy was left dumbfounded while Xavier struggled to hold back his laughter.
“That’s enough. I don’t have time for your nonsense. What’s up?” Jeremy questioned.
“Look at this!” He produced an invitation card and waved it in front of Jeremy.
“What’s that?”
“I got this invitation card to Lyla Nelson’s birthday party this weekend! Ms. Alyssa’s staff delivered it to me!”
Jeremy fumed as Landon gloated. Green in envy, Jeremy scoffed. “What’s so special about that? It’s normal to be invited, given the Harpers’ social standing in Solana City.”
“So, given your family’s social standing in Solana City, did you receive an invitation?”
“Don’t we have anything better to talk about? If not, please leave,” Jeremy remarked. He had a short fuse when it came to anything related to Alyssa.
“Look at you! I’m fooling with you,” Landon said. He stopped teasing Jeremy, knowing he was upset about not receiving an invitation.
Then, he produced another crumpled invitation card from his back pocket and explained, “Here. This is an invitation from the witch.
“Isn’t it a coincidence that she chooses to throw her birthday party on the same day as Lyla Nelson? Not only that, she’s hosting it in Solana City. Is she turning this into a competition?”
Jeremy’s brows brows furrowed in surprise. “What? Does Sophia share her birthday with Lyla?”
Xavier chimed in, scratching his head in confusion. “If I recall correctly, Madam Sophia’s birthday is this Thursday, not on the weekend. Why would she move her birthday event to the weekend? Is she trying to compete with Lyla?”
“Is there any bad blood between Sophia and Lyla Nelson? Jeremy inquired, his senses sharp.
“Um, I’m not too sure. I remember they were signed to the same network as actresses. Lyla always.
snagged the lead roles, leaving Sophia with no option but to take on the villain roles.”
Jeremy fell into deep thoughts. He replied, “Got it. Keep an eye on Sophia for the next few days. If she makes any move, let me know right away.”
In Sophia’s room at Seaview Manor, she was busy picking her dress for her birthday party with Betty.
The room was overflowing with luxurious dresses, covering the surface of the clothing rack, the couch, and the bed. The expensive dresses were carelessly laid across surfaces like colorful rags.
“They’re all gaudy! Are these the limited edition dresses for this year? The designers must have been out. of their minds! No one could possibly look good in these outfits!” Betty exclaimed in dissatisfaction.
She flung them onto the floor and even stomped on them.
Xavier nearly burst into laughter, leaving Landon squinting as it took him a moment to catch on
Then, Landon yelled angrily, “You little fucker! I’m straight, okay? Even if you want to bed me, I won’t sleep with you. I’ve got better options out there
Jeremy was left dumbfounded while Xavier struggled to hold back his laughter.
‘That’s enough. I don’t have time for your nonsense. What’s up?” Jeremy questioned
“Look at this!” He produced an invitation card and waved it in front of Jeremy.
“What’s that?”
“I got this invitation card to Lyla Nelson’s birthday party this weekend! Ms. Alyssa’s staff delivered it to me!”
Back at the KS World Hotel, Alyssa monitored the progress of Lyla’s event proposal with a greater focus and dedication than she poured into Ada Kingley’s wedding.
While she had worked diligently for Ada as a client, this time, her commitment was out of love for Lyla.
She was family.
“Ms. Alyssa, you’ve been through a lot. You should rest after pulling three all-nighters,” Sean reminded her and handed her a glass of orange juice, as he worried that coffee might be too acidic for her.
“I can’t. The event hall arrangements have been made, but we haven’t completed the dress for Lyla,”
Alyssa mumbled and massaged her sore forehead.
Women of Alyssa’s age would be shopping, traveling the world, and dating. Unlike them, she spent most of her time buried in documents and data, leading the hotel management to improve their business.
She might be hardy, but she would also get exhausted like any other person. She instructed, “Arrange a visit to Rose Emerson’s studio later.”
“Is it to work on Madam Lyla’s dress?”
“Yes. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it on time without putting in some overtime.”
Sean sighed, feeling concerned for her. His phone suddenly buzzed. It was a text from Jonah containing the guest list of Lyla’s birthday party. Jonah ordered Sean to relay the list to Alyssa.
Sean tapped into the attached photo and was immediately attracted by the names of the three Schmidt brothers. He was consumed by fury once more at the thought of Josh Schmidt, who had thrown a wad of cash at him, and Josh’s mistress with heavy makeup, who had humiliated Tatiana.
“What’s wrong with the guest list? You have a funny look on your face,” Alyssa questioned. She had observed the change in his microexpressions.
“Ms. Alyssa, there’s something that I need to report to you,” Sean began. Then, he told her all about the incident from the night he sent Tatjana back to campus while leaving out Josh’s humiliation.
At first, he had wanted to solve the problem for Tatiana. On second thought, he realized he might get into greater trouble, given that Brie was Josh’s mistress. As a mere secretary, he lacked the power to protect
Tatiana.
Besides, Brie probably gave Tatiana trouble as her schoolmate. Since Sean was busy with work, he had to ask for Alyssa’s help to get rid of the problem for Tatiana.
Alyssa listened to his account with an angry frown. She spat, “How dare a mistress harass my sister?” Then, she slammed her hand against the table and hissed, “What goes around comes around! She will reap what she sow.”
Sean couldn’t help but let out an amused chuckle at her reaction.
She continued, “That woman is only acting insolent because she thinks she has Josh Schmidt’s support. I bet she’d fall to her knees and apologize to Taty if she knew that Taty was backed by the Taylor family and the KS Group. I’d like to see if Josh Schmidt would defend her by then!”
“So, are you planning to teach that mistress a lesson?” Sean cautiously prodded.
Alyssa lifted her glass and took a sip of the juice leisurely. She scoffed. “She isn’t worth my time. If anything, I’ll need to put the blame on Josh Schmidt to get revenge for Taty.”
“But he might not know that Tatiana Taylor was the woman that his mistress had a fight with. If he had known…
Alyssa glared at him. “I don’t care! I can be unreasonable and overly protective. Ignorance is bliss’ doesn’t work for me.”
That evening, Alyssa drove her Bugatti La Voiture Noire to Rose Emerson’s studio alone without Sean’s company.
“Gosh, the goddess, Alexa, has graced my tiny studio with her presence! I am beyond honored to welcome you!” Rose teased Alyssa when the latter showed up.
She had been impressed enough by Alyssa’s elite family background and her identity as Sharon, the renowned fashion designer. To her surprise, Alyssa wore many more hats, including Alexa.
Alexa was regarded as an icon of the jewelry design industry, akin to Sharon’s status in the fashion world.
“Alright now. I’m wrong for hiding my identity from you. How can I make it up to you?” Alyssa mused and confidently wrapped an arm around Rose’s waist.
