"You heard me," Lucy said casually. "Fashion is about presentation. If you can't present yourself well, how can you design for others?"
She turned and walked toward the manager's office, her office now, I realized.
I stood there, confused and uncertain. Lucy had just saved me from Maria's bullying. But then she'd threaten
Alice's POV"Hurry up!" Lily snapped at me, pointing at the silver shoes again. "Stop wasting my time. Get those shoes now!"Adam smirked, looking me up and down in a way that made my skin crawl. "Yeah, I'd like to see how well you perform as a service worker. Should be entertaining."His eyes lingered on my body, and I felt sick remembering what he'd tried to do to me in that bathroom.I took a deep breath and stood up straighter. "I'm not a service worker here," I said firmly, looking Lily in the eye. "I'm a customer, just like you."Lily's face turned red with anger. "How dare you lie to me!""I'm not lying!""You're wearing a pathetic dres
Alice's POV"Thank you," I said to David as we walked back to the car with all the shopping bags. "For the clothes…For everything."David nodded. "You needed them."I looked at all the elegant bags the staff were loading into the trunk.I felt guilty. I was taking advantage of David's kindness even though he said it was part of our arrangement.I would work hard at my new job so that I'd get promoted quickly. That way I’d be able to pay David back for everything he'd done for me.Suddenly, I felt a pressure in my lower belly."Um," I said, my face turning red. "I need to use the bathroom. Is there one here?"

Lucy had just saved me from Maria's bullying. But then she'd threaten to fire me if I didn't dress better.Was she being kind? Or cruel?I couldn't tell.Around me, the other employees slowly went back to their work, still whispering about what had happened.I walked back to my old desk that was assigned to me earlier and sat down, feeling more confused than ever. My first day at wo
Alice's POV"Who do you think you are?" Maria's voice was filled with anger as she glared at Lucy.Lucy seemed unbothered by Maria’s shouting. She just stood there, looking calm and powerful."I'm someone who doesn't tolerate bullying in the workplace," Lucy said coolly. "Now apologize to Alice and to me.”Maria's face turned red. "Apologize? To you? For what?”Lucy sighed and looked at her well-manicured nails as if it was more important than Maria. “You wasted my precious time. That’s why you need to apologize.”Maria scoffed. “Keep dreaming. You’re the one who’s wasting my time here. I was just teaching the n
Alice's POVI was so excited I could barely sleep the night before. I finally got a job at David’s company.I got up early, put on a simple gray dress with a white collar and arrived at the office building with my heart pounding. I took the elevator to the design department on the fifth floor.The office was big and bright, with huge windows that let in lots of sunlight. Desks were arranged in neat rows, and people were already working, typing on computers and looking at fabric samples.A woman at the front desk checked her computer and pointed to a small desk in the corner.

Alice's POVLucy gave me a quick glance and looked away as if I was nothing. I clenched my fist, trying not to look embarrassed. I stood against the wall, watching as everyone crowded around Lucy."Miss Lucy, your outfit is stunning!""Miss Lucy, let us show you to the design department!""Miss Lucy, would you like some coffee? Tea?"They surrounded her like she was a celebrity, all smiling and bowing and trying to impress her. While I was completely invisible to them.Lucy glanced at me again with a smug smile on her face. Like she'd won some kind of competition I didn't even know we were having. She walked toward the elevators, everyone following behind her like baby ducks followi
Alice's POVHis lips touched my neck and I shoved him hard, breaking free from his grip, and spun around to face him."Don't touch me!" I said, my voice shaking with anger and fear. "I'm married!"The words slipped out before I could stop them.Adam's eyebrows shot up. "Married? To that old man alr
Alice's POVOne month had passed since I gave birth to my child.He was still in the hospital. He was so tiny and fragile that he needed special treatment. Treatment I couldn't afford."The medical bills are piling up," my father had said coldly last week. "Unless you want us to stop paying for his

Alice's POVMy nose scrunched in disgust. It took everything in me to not slap him. But I had to control myself if I didn’t want to be targeted by the Kastner family. My own family was horrible enough. Adam stepped away from me and spoke to David about something. I wiped my hand on my hospital g
