The receptionist saw Alice and smiled, stopping her. "Hello, may I ask if you have an appointment?"This receptionist had witnessed how the guards had thrown her out before, so she knew Julian didn't welcome her. Hence, she couldn't let Alice go upstairs.Alice yawned. "I'm here for Aralyn."The receptionist was stunned. Alice walked straight to the elevator and pressed the close-door button.By the time the receptionist regained her composure, the elevator had already gone up. Her face turned pale. What should she do?…Alice pushed the door open and walked into the office.Julian saw her.Before he could speak, Alice said, "I'm here for Aralyn."I had just opened my laptop and was about to start working on a design when I heard Alice's words.I turned around in surprise.Alice sat right next to me. "Can we add each other on WhatsApp?"Didn't she treat me as her rival just a few days ago?Though I was confused, I still took out my phone and handed it to Alice. Alice add

Mark noticed my disbelief. He smiled and said, "This isn't considered a lot. Once they are done creating a full promotional strategy for you, and the company starts pouring resources into it, your followers could increase by tens of thousands in a single day."Mark was clearly accustomed to these scenarios. He added, "In less than a month, you could probably become a top influencer with over a million followers. When that happens, there will be people who envy you; they will put your life under a magnifying glass."If you don't want them finding faults with you, then it's best to start being mindful of your actions and words."He then patted my shoulder and said with a tone full of sympathy, "So, enjoy having a smaller follower count while you can. This might be one of your few remaining moments of freedom."With that, he walked out of the office.I sat quietly, reflecting on what Mark had said.So, being liked by a lot of people isn't all good after all.…Once Julian had fi

Shayne couldn't help but think that if he and Aralyn hadn't divorced, she would've been elated to receive this ring from him.Unfortunately, he couldn't go back in time.He looked down and felt increasingly lost.Didn't he like Luna? So, why had he been thinking about Aralyn so much lately?…When it was time for dinner, the private elevator reserved for executives happened to be out of service. Julian and I had no choice but to take the public elevator. Unfortunately, it was the end of the work day. As the elevator descended, the number of people in the elevator increased.I stood in the corner, but people would bump into me occasionally due to how cramped it was inside.Julian was worried that I would feel uncomfortable, so he got closer to me. He then placed his arm in front of me, creating a safe zone.I no longer had to be hit by stray arms, so I finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you.""You're welcome."…Julian had practically encased Aralyn within his arms. He

Julian didn't answer me directly. He merely asked, "She doesn't seem to treat you well either. Are you really willing to be friends with her?""She hasn't really been malicious toward me," I replied. After careful consideration, I continued, "Mainly, I suddenly realized that I don't seem to have any friends in this city. Alice is the first friend I've made."Julian raised a brow."You probably don't know this, but I came to this unfamiliar city for Shayne. Then I married him. Before I even had a chance to work or make any friends, I had a child. After that, I became like any other housewife, pouring all my energy into taking care of the baby and managing the household. I didn't have any free time," I calmly explained.With all of my time consumed, I naturally didn't have the mood to think of anything else. I looked at Julian and concluded, "So, I'm very happy that Alice is willing to be my friend."…As Julian listened to her, he suddenly thought Aralyn was like a modern-day R

Although Shayne had never shared any intimate contact with Luna, she could sense that Shayne's feelings for her were gradually rekindling.Back then, she had confidently believed that as long as Shayne became single again, their relationship would experience rapid growth due to the lack of moral and social constraints.They would quickly fall deeply in love and be inseparable. Shayne would also only have eyes for her.However, after using every means at her disposal to facilitate the breakdown of Shayne and Aralyn's marriage, she realized that reality was completely different from what she had imagined.Luna furrowed her brows. Every time she wanted to take their relationship to the next step, Shayne would reject it. Only when she reverted back to just being a friend or even someone more distant did Shayne feel comfortable.She gently massaged her temples.She even started wondering if everything would've been better if she had been more patient back then and waited for Shayne
