Lea was in a precarious state. She saw, outside the car, Mr. Aries just pacing uncertainly while occasionally fiddling with the phone and occasionally smiling. The middle-aged man didn't look worried, panicked, or confused at all. He was very calm and looked like he was just waiting for time to pass, doing nothing like he should.Lea didn't want to make baseless accusations, but with all that had happened recently, it was certain that she too was currently in a trap set up by Fely. Her step sister must have been so upset that Lea passed the first audition and was able to continue all the way to this final stage. Lea was sure that even though Fely tried to appear calm and in control, also with Nina always standing by her side, deep inside she was very worried and afraid. She had tried many schemes to bring Lea down, in subtle, deadly ways, using the hands of others who were afraid of her. Not because Fely has the charisma to be feared or respected, but because she always has the tric

"Ms. Lea, you are very late and have kept the jury waiting," said one of the judges, a woman with short black hair. She was very impressed with Lea's appearance and her almost perfect features, compared to all the models who had passed the audition process. However, she wanted to say that she did not like Lea's punctual and undisciplined attitude. "My apologies in advance, Mrs. Diane, I've had a little trouble commuting and as I mentioned before, I've only just returned to this city after five full years of living in America, so it seems I've kind of forgotten the roads I'm supposed to take to get there." "Then you should have left earlier," said Mrs. Diane firmly. "I'm sorry again, but as far as I know, according to the rules that apply during this event, each participant is given a time tolerance to follow the audition process for fifteen minutes from the first call to enter the audition room and because when I entered, the committee just counted to four, that means I'm not la

Jayden cupped Lea's face in his hands and caressed her lips, which were now very red and wet and slightly swollen from their previous kiss."Lea, do you realize what we're doing?" Jayden asked, looking deep into Lea's eyes. He felt Black struggling, demanding the release of a long pent up desire, after smelling the same desire radiating from Nada, his mate.Lea nodded with a blush. "I know what we've done and probably what we're going to do next too. I was a little drunk but that kiss made me sober now."Jayden smiled and kissed Eva again on the lips. He made Lea lean comfortably against the back of the sofa and kissed her forehead."Wait here a moment, I need to arrange something and after that we can go."Jayden went to the bathroom and called Lim to do something. He returned to the sofa where Lea sat and waited for him."Let's go," Jayden said as he took Lea's hand and led her.They took a taxi to the Blue Bell apartment. Lim ultimately decided to buy the entire apartment complex,

Lea saw the women's bathroom near the lobby after getting out of the elevator. She entered and saw that the bathroom was clean and quiet. There were six booths facing each other inside and all were empty. Lea entered the far right booth and closed the door. She lowered the toilet lid and sat on it, feeling weak from her fight with Garry a few moments ago. Lea really couldn't understand why that man was being so annoying and forcing her to accept some money to let go of her winnings so easily. What really happened? Could an event of that magnitude, organized by a big industry like Franzine be easily tampered with by people from outside the company and why could Garry easily occupy Nina's place? Curiosity made Lea go online on her phone and look around for answers to her questions. Franzine Industry that organized this event turned out to be the main sponsor who was involved and had the advantage that the winner of the event would become their brand ambassador. However, technical

Lea left the Flower agency building, harboring anger in her heart, making her blood boil and her hands and feet turn cold. Nada told her to go somewhere to calm down, because she wouldn't be able to leave in such an emotional state. Lea crossed the street and returned to the garden. The bench she was sitting on earlier was now occupied by a woman with a stroller in front of her. She was humming to the baby in the stroller, reading a book in her lap.Lea stared at the stroller and suddenly thought of Luke. She wanted to go home and sleep all day cuddling her son but there was no way she could because that would let her bright son know that something unpleasant had happened to her and Luke would feel anxious and restless. Lea didn't want her children to worry about her. She just wanted Luke to always be happy and cheerful. Luke is a smart and sensitive boy. He didn't always ask what happened or what Lea was feeling, but almost always knew how Lea was in a mood and even understood how
