LOGINEmily’s POV I was furious. Even after leaving the mall, the anger still burned in my chest. Being tricked into spending that much money—it felt like a slap to the face. Mum and I parted ways shortly after. She had things to take care of, and honestly, I needed space. As I drove, my thoughts kept circling back to everything that had happened that day. The humiliation at GL. Aunt Grace, nothing seemed to go in my favor any longer. I was feeling frustrated when Mum’s words echoed in my mind. "You should find a way to marry Ethan as soon as possible." I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. Although I no longer saw Ethan as good enough—especially compared to someone like Roland—I had to admit that, given my current situation, he was still the best option available to me. At the very least, he was someone I could secure. With that thought, I changed direction and headed straight to Prime Entertainment. It was supposed to be a surprise. I did not inform him. I wanted to s
Grace’s POVGL was holding a special sales event at our branch in Blue Mall. I felt less busy, so I decided to leave our beauty palace and visit the branch.I just wanted to check out how things were going. In this branch, only the manager and assistant knew I was the owner.To be able to help better, I put on an apron. I did not think there was a need to reveal my identity. A customer was complaining about their makeup, so I helped fix it.I had just finished and stepped out of the room. To my surprise, the manager and another staff member were waiting for me outside.While I was giving a few instructions, Winter and her daughter suddenly came over. I was surprised to see them, but I decided that since this was a business place and I was wearing a GL apron, I should act civil with them. But Winter, who always felt superior to me, was drawing unnecessary attention to us. I understood her goal was to embarrass me, but she was playing the wrong card.The manager wanted to explain my ide
Emily’s POV After leaving the clothing store, Mum led the way toward the GL section of the mall. The storefront alone was enough to draw attention—bright, elegant, and filled with customers despite the quiet atmosphere of the rest of the building. It turned out that GL was having a promotional event that came with a ten percent discount on all products. No wonder a lot of people were present. We stepped inside, and I immediately noticed how different it felt from other brands. The staff moved with quiet confidence, attending to each customer with care. Mum’s eyes lit up slightly. “It really does look impressive,” she murmured. I said nothing, but I could not deny it either. We were soon directed to a waiting area after registering for a skin test. A staff member informed us that it would take a little while before it was our turn. So we sat. I crossed my legs, scrolling absentmindedly through my phone while Mum observed the surroundings like she was inspecting an inves
Emily's POV Since Miss Long told me about Gina being the same as GG, I had been worried sick about what to do with the information. I hated that Gina was having such a good life. The cousin I had always looked down on was actually doing better than my entire family. The more I thought about it, the more I could not really let it go, but the information about GG and Gina being the same person was not something I wanted to make public. I doubted it would bring me any favors, but then again, I could not really watch her do better than me. I was still thinking about what I should do when the company's gossip group that Monday morning started to beep nonstop. In the past few days, there had been a lot of gossip about me. At first, I did not want to open it, but curiosity, they say, kills the cat, so I opened the group. The first thing I saw was a picture of a car. The latest model—I had read about it—and this said car was worth about fifty million. In Prime Entertainment, there
Gina POVThe next Monday I arrived at Prime Entertainment at about the same time as Roland. A few people were still in the parking lot. Although we had arrived in two cars, we had turned to look at each other."Good morning." For a minute I had forgotten to be professional. I greeted him with a warm smile and undisguised fondness.Roland did not mind. He walked over to me and took my hand. "Good morning, dear," his voice was gentle. I wanted to pull away, but he did not allow me, so I could only lower my head, feeling shy."Good morning, sir," the other staff greeted him. Although I was not looking at anyone, I could tell that they were all looking at our hands.We walked like that into the lobby. More people noticed, but perhaps because the man was Roland, they did not dare to gossip. They just greeted him and pretended not to notice our hands.I followed him into his executive elevator to the top floor. I had never been so relieved to find out that his secretaries were not yet pres
Gina’s POV I let out a quiet breath the moment I stepped out of the bathroom the room was empty, Roland was gone. For some reason, relief washed over me instantly. At least… Mum did not see him here. I pressed my hand lightly against my chest, trying to calm my racing heart. Maybe I had overthought everything. Maybe she did not notice anything at all. I shook my head slightly and walked toward the closet. I needed to get dressed. Church. I had to go to church and get my head straight. I reached for a dress, trying to focus, but my mind kept drifting back to the morning. The kiss. The knock and the panic. My face grew warm. I could not believe i really forgot more was next door. Just then.. A knock sounded on the door, My heart jumped. “Mum?” I called instinctively. The door opened before I could say anything else. Mum stepped in, her expression calm, as usual. “I thought you might need help,” she said lightly. I blinked “Help?” “With your makeup,” she
Gina’s POVI went to the office as usual that morning, telling myself to stay calm and act normal. Just as I stepped into the corridor, I heard familiar voices ahead.Rosy and Katrina were standing near the pantry, speaking loudly, as if they wanted the whole floor to hear.“Did you hear about the
Gina’s POVWhen I saw Roland that morning, my heart missed a beat. I wanted to talk about the kiss that had happened the previous night, but Roland had a serious look in his eyes.Did he forget the kiss? I felt hurt.“You can work here in peace,” he said calmly.He then explained that he had brough
Roland’s POVI noticed that Gina was avoiding me. It started shortly after she came to work as my assistant. We had shared a kiss the night before, but I was drunk and did not manage my feelings well.In truth, when I saw her the next morning, I wanted to talk about it, but the topic seemed too emb
Emily’s POV I could not believe I lost to an unknown artist. The slap was loud on my face, but I could not deny she was good. I waited patiently for her to unmask, but nothing happened. This GG gave me a familiar feeling, and I was beginning to suspect she was Gina, but when she spoke into the
