FAZER LOGINGrace POV"You... are you humiliating me on purpose?" the woman asked.Mrs. Lopez looked helpless. "I did not know you would need a makeup artist.""What do you mean you did not know? Could you not have asked?" the woman did not believe her. "You married my brother and think you can walk all over me? If not for our family's wealth, could you ever invite someone like GL?" she asked.I decided that this had nothing to do with me, so I just concentrated on my work."Could you make another exception and attend to my sister-in-law?" Mrs. Lopez asked me one more time. I had heard about people having difficult in-laws; this was my first time.Back then, Winter only started walking all over me after my husband's death and we moved into their house, but this was different."My assistant can handle it. I still have other things to do once I am done with your makeup," I remained unwilling."Sister-in-law, her assistant is also quite skilled. Would you let her do your makeup?" she asked in a soft
Grace's POV When I found out one of my longest customers was married into the Lopez family, I was shocked. I had stayed away from news about the family. According to Dad's arrangements, in order not to become a tool for those greedy relatives to use against my brother, my mother and I were not to make any contact with the family. It has been more than forty years since that separation. My brother never came, so I just continued to live. I still thought about him, mostly wondering if he was alive. At first, I wanted to reject my customer because I did not want to step into the Lopez family, but then Gina was going to the anniversary. That was the company her great-grandfather built, yet now we were outsiders. Since she was going, I thought that God was giving me an opportunity to visit the home I grew up in. So I decided to go, but when I woke up that morning, I was feeling very anxious. I could not think clearly. I was scared that when I saw the faces of those ugly relatives ag
Gina's POV I got to Karl's studio, and Lisa came out to welcome me. I went straight to Karl's office. "Hello," I said. He asked me to sit down. "We have an invitation from Lopez Corporation. They are having their anniversary celebration in two weeks," he said. I looked at Karl; he had a complicated gaze. "Is there something wrong with this invitation?" I asked. "No, Lopez Corporation is the biggest company in the country. It can easily rival the Williams family group. The only good part is that the two companies do not have many business clashes, so they coexist and even have a few collaborations," he paused and looked at me. "So, there is nothing wrong with the invitation?" I asked. "No, it's just that given your current status, we can only accept or reject this invitation; we can't make demands like the others," he said. I immediately understood that my arrangement would be entirely dependent on the Lopez group. "What is the big deal? At most, I will wear a mask all day. I
Ethan’s POV I did not expect Gina to be so different. it seems like she was even getting more beautiful every day. I had come to Prime Entertainment that day to sort out some things with the manager. I did not expect to run into Gina in the elevator. The last time, she had denied being GG, but I was almost certain. Yet, I had no evidence. This time in the elevator, I wanted to test her and see if she still had feelings for me. At first, I was confident, but seeing her reaction, I realized I might be wrong. Why would she leave Roland for me? “Talk is cheap. Did you not want to make it up to me? Let’s start with you recording a video and confessing what happened back then and who your girlfriend for three years was,” she said. She already had her phone up, ready to record. “What? Are you crazy? That would ruin Emily,” I said before thinking. I realized my mistake too late, I was here telling her I love while protecting Emily, who would believe that. I still loved Emily. The rea
Gina’s POV I lowered my head and pretended not to know him. I could feel his gaze on me. He stepped closer, but I took a step the other way, away from him. I began to pray in my heart that someone else would come into the elevator. I could still remember his actions in the parking lot the last time. “Leaving already?” he asked. He must have been looking at the bag I was holding. I pretended not to have heard someone speak. My actions greatly irritated him. “Are you so proud of being a mistress?” he said, but I chose to keep ignoring him. “What happened to being conservative and wanting to wait till your wedding?” he said. Even if I was not looking at him, I was sure he was looking at me with disgust, but I did not care. If I cared about what someone like Ethan had to say about me, then I must be stupid. Seeing that I did not answer, he stepped closer again, but I only looked at the elevator, hoping it would arrive soon so I could leave. “Don’t get so complacent. The Williams f
Gina's POVIf it were possible, I wanted to turn around and pretend not to see her, but it was too late.“Miss Greenwood,” she called. She turned her head to Roland, who still had a mask on his face.“Miss Long,” I said with a fake smile. Who could not act?“This is?” she pointed at Roland. I looked at her, a bit surprised. Even if Roland had a face mask on, she should recognize him, right? “My boyfriend,” I answered.“Hey,” she waved.“Hello,” Roland answered. His voice, which had been normal a few minutes ago, sounded a bit husky. I looked at him; there was a playful glint in his eyes.Miss Long smiled. “He looks familiar, though,” she commented.“Well, maybe you have seen him,” I said. Then, before she could keep us there, I added, “We are quite hungry. See you around,” and walked past her.“Do you have a reservation? I was about to leave because most of their tables are booked for lunch,” she informed.“Oh, we booked ahead,” I answered.She looked at me. I knew she wanted me to in
Gina’s POV I did my best. Now I could only pray that there were more people who cared about good music. I knew a lot of people might still vote for Emily because they were her fans. I went back to my seat. Roland suddenly took hold of my hand. “Don’t worry, your performance tonight was good,”
Gina's pov I was really grateful to Betty, as her presence helped me block unnecessary questions. Roland was busy attending to the guests, but she ensured I was not left out. I followed Betty and a few of her friends as they led me toward the Williams family garden. The evening air was warm and
Gina’s POV “How about you two discuss in private?” Roland asked. He seemed to notice that Karl was not cool with the situation, and I also did not dare expose my real identity in public. “All right,” Karl agreed. Roland led the way into the house and soon into a music studio. “Go in,” Roland tol
Gina’s POV After Rena’s visit, I noticed more changes. People greeted me in the mornings. Some even smiled. Conversations no longer stopped the moment I approached, and no one looked at me as if I were waiting to steal something off their desks. I began to feel more comfortable, believing that
