Mavis waited at the rooftop of Grayson's company, the very place where she first met him. It was a place designed for the employees of Laurasia to spend their break times. Since it was still working hours and everyone was pretty much busy with the ongoing large-scale project of the company, no one was around.She walked towards the table at the farthest corner, where she could clearly see the cloudless sky. It was a table for two only. Even after years had passed, Mavis could not forget how she met Grayson in that very spot. Sitting on one of the chairs, she recalled that one fateful day.It was her day off yet Venice came stomping into her room while panicking and screaming. Mavis immediately woke up after her stepsister pulled her blanket away."You have to go to Laurasia right now!" Venice demanded with puffy red eyes."What? I thought you were going," Mavis replied, confused."Do you think I can go there with these?!" Venice pointed at her face.Looking at her closely, she finally

The next day, Venice made the proper preparations for their scheduled lunch meeting with this Mavis Crawford. She was not able to get a good sleep the other night since she saw no record of what the designer looked like, making her more anxious with each hour that passed."Are you sure you want to hold the meeting here?" Grayson questioned, wondering why Venice chose Laurasia's rooftop as the venue for their scheduled lunch.Not to mention, she had returned the former internal design of the break room from three years ago."Of course. I actually contacted Diana last night and she said that Mavis did not like going to expensive restaurants. She wanted things simple so this place is the perfect one for our lunch," Venice replied, which was a complete lie.She did not actually contact Diana. In truth, she hired a private investigator the other night and came to know that Mavis Crawford was indeed her stepsister. It infuriated her, however, she wanted the wedding dress so until she got ah

"What kind of ridiculous claim is that, Venice?" Mrs. Charter said while watching her daughter pace back and forth in front of her. "How can Mavis suddenly appear out of nowhere?"Venice shook her head as she listened to her mother, who obviously thought that she was going crazy. She faced her and looked at her with a sharp gaze."I do not know, Mom! All I know is that she is back. She returned to ruin my life again! We have to do something!" The crease on her forehead when an idea crossed her mind immediately vanished. "That's it! Since she is now back, it is time to reopen the case and have her imprisoned as soon as possible!"Mrs. Charter remained unconvinced so she simply let out a heavy sigh and left her daughter's room. She was already stressed out because of work so she did not want her supposed break time to be occupied with nonsense. She went to her husband's study room and found him putting down the telephone before taking a seat behind his wooden desk."Is there something w

The soft music greeted Noah upon entering the club that Grayson owned. Just as he expected, the vintage-themed place was already filled with people. He recognized some of them, especially those who were in the big-time businesses, but he completely ignored them and headed to the room exclusively for Grayson to use.It had been some time since he last visited so he could not wait to hear what his friend had to say. Entering, he found the CEO already drinking whiskey so Noah immediately approached him."Tell me already," he said, wanting to know what had pushed the man in front of him to ask for his help. "Are you receiving death threats again?"Grayson shook his head. He put down his glass and grabbed the documents that his secretary gave him that day. He handed it to Noah."I want you to keep me informed about her," he said, piquing Noah's attention even more."Her, huh," he merely mumbled before going over the documents.He thought it had something to do with any of his rivals in bus

After pretending to faint, Hestia could hear the murmurs around her. "W-What happened?" Venice asked as she saw Hestia unconscious on the floor. She approached her and shook her shoulder. "Mavis, Mavis. Wake up!""I... We did not even touch her!" a woman shouted defensively. "We just spoke to her. She must be faking this!""You mean you ganged up on her," another woman said across the table. She raised an eyebrow. "It was obvious how you all are bullying her.""Shut up!" the other rebutted.While the others continued to argue, the bartender on standby approached Venice who seemed to have no idea how to deal with the matter. He carried Hestia with ease."Should we take her to the hospital?" he asked with a calm voice.Venice could only nod before following the lead of the bartender as they made their way out of the bar. They took Hestia in her car and drove to the nearest hospital. This was not something Hestia expected to happen so she just continued acting until they reached the hos
