Leila ended up spending the night in Phyllis’ place. She was dead tired that she could not even walk back to her unit. “Ugh…”She groaned as she felt a light kick on her butt. She turned and saw Phyllis standing beside the bed.“Yo, I cooked breakfast. Let’s eat.”Leila rubbed her eyes, unable to believe that her friend was up early in the morning. Phyllis would usually sleep and wake up late. However, today, she got up early!She got up and touched Phyllis's forehead. “Are you sick? Why are you up early, Lis?”Phyllis flicked Leila’s hands before walking out of her room. “If you don’t want to, then don’t.”Leila laughed at Phyllis’ reactions and tried to keep up with her steps. She clung her arms on Phyllis’ shoulders and coquettishly asked, “Babe, are you mad?”Phyllis scoffed, “I’m not, b*tch. Let’s just eat.”“Aww~ Come on, tell me, babe~”Phyllis moved Leila’s face away from her and hurried to the table. “You sound like a whiny boyfriend, Lei!”“Oh, please! Wait ‘till you get yo

“Alright, alright. I’m on my way, Cassiel! Stop rushing me~” she said with a light chuckle. Later at night, Cassiel invited her for a night out. It was timely since she’s been couped up in her apartment for a week now. She wanted to at least unwind and have a few drinks with her friend. Before entering the lift, she knocked on Phyllis’ door and loudly asked, “Are you really not coming?!”“NO! There’s a lot of people outside!” she heard Phyllis yell from inside. “Okay, suit yourself,” muttered Leila before rushing to the lift. She’s opened a ride-hailing app to quickly book a ride. She’s not driving herself to the bar since she plans on drinking. Besides, she’s going to the Zeus Club in Dixon City. It’s an hour’s drive from her place so she doesn’t want the trouble of driving. In an instant, she was notified that the 4-seater car she booked was close by. She walked out of the lobby while checking her stuff inside her miumiu hobo bag. She brought a pressed powder and her lipstick

A petite lady dressed in a maxi dress and a brown cardigan stood behind Leila and Andrei with her hands on her hips. Her expression suggests that she’s extremely angry at the duo seated in the bar. Leila sighed. She took off Andrei’s coat before passing it to the lady. “Ruby, it’s a good thing you picked up Andrei.”“I’ll leave you two alone,” added Leila before leaving. “WAIT!” Ruby yelled; again. She grabbed Leila’s arms. ‘Now, what?’She tried to hide her irritation with a polite smile. “Why?” Ruby looked up to meet Leila’s eyes. Leila stood even taller than Ruby because she wore stilettos. Her eyes were sharp and very hostile towards Leila. “Why are you with Andrei?”Leila paused, finding Ruby’s question a bit silly. “Uhh… I’m not. But you can ask him why he keeps on bugging me.”Ruby frowned. “So you’re saying he’s pursuing you?”Leila gave Andrei a side-eye. He was not doing anything to prevent Ruby from confronting Leila. He just stood on the side, watching the scene unfo

The day continued without any issues. She got back to work and saw clients who came in to book a dress consultation with her. These are the clients that reached out to her before her opening. And so of course, they are her priority. Most of the consultations that she did were for bridal dresses. It seems to be a popular trend these days to have simple ball gowns for brides as she’s been getting a lot of requests for these. Good thing she has a catalog for her designs. “Miss, I’ll head out now,” said Michaella who just finished cleaning up the documents she presented to Leila. “Thanks for today, Micha.”It was already six in the evening and just wrapped up for today’s work. They have received a lot of inquiries about their designs on the first day of their opening. It seems that the fashion show hooked some good prospective clients. She stood up, gazing outside of her balcony to see the garden view. She has poured most of her savings into cultivating such a beautiful garden. Truth

After dinner, she went out to the powder room to freshen up before heading home. As usual, she touched up her lipstick. This time, she wore a nude pink color which complimented her pink floral dress. “Oh… You’re here.”Leila immediately saw Ayla, who just entered the comfort room. ‘What on earth! Not again!’Ayla was dressed in a lovely green flowy dress. Her hair was tied in a low bun, sporting a clean look. “I heard that you opened an atelier. Congratulations.”Ayla’s words were clearly laced with sarcasm that Leila couldn’t help but chuckle. She did not bother hiding her disgust and showed it right to Ayla’s face. Leila just threw her a glance before fixing her hair in front of the mirror. Her hair color is starting to fade into light pink which complimented her fair skin. Because of the constant hair coloring she does, it becomes a little dry. And so from time to time, she applies a hair cuticle coat to help moisturize it. “I sent Julius on my behalf to congratulate you. Good
