''This is why everyone needs to keep themselves pure. This industry can make you do bad things'' Adria said. She was the assistant of Zeya and the one closest to Zeya.

''Even with the plastic surgery, she can't compare to our Zeya who is a natural beauty. Zeya didn't have to do anything to her face to make her beautiful'' Georgia, one of the small actresses said loudly making Alice turn to look at them.

''Sssh, keep your voice down. She has the backing of Mikael Sun. What if you cross her and she decides to steal your gigs? She just came today and she already has a lot of gigs. I heard she was given the JSC ambassador deal. This was originally supposed to be for Sis Zeya but now it is hers'' Adria said after she received an email from Zeya.

Zeya had asked her to find out how many gigs Alice had and also to make sure she sabotaged her and make everyone not like her.

When Adria said that, the actresses with Alice all kept quiet and looked at Alice wearily. They all had doubtful gazes but it didn't bother Alice. She knew their industry very well. there was nothing like true friendship amongst them. you would know who was waiting for your downfall.

Alice smiled and turned to look at Adria who had a smug expression on her face. Alice knew she was ordered to do whatever she was doing but after getting pierced by Zeya earlier on, she realised that she had to play their game.

If they were going to be vicious and then act innocent, then she was going to do same. She didn't steal any contract, they knew that themselves, in their hearts but they were determined to mar her name. She knew Zeya was going to act all innocent and put the blame on her assistant once something happens. If she confronts the assistant and other actresses right now, they would make everyone think she was haughty. Today was after all, her first time here. There was a lot of time to get them in their place. There was no need to hurry.

Alice started walking towards them. when she got to the side giant mirror, she acted surprised as she looked at herself in the mirror.

''Ah. That scared me!'' Alice smiled and tussled her hair before saying to herself, ''aye Alice. You are beautiful. Sometimes I get surprise seeing the face you have. Even plastic surgery could never guarantee such flawlessness. You are lucky to have be as your owner, my dear face''

Alice looked at them with cocked brows and smirked before walking out. Niania and the driver followed her immediately.

''Aha'' Adria chuckled sarcastically.

''Was she always this narcissistic? How could she just act that way about herself?'' one of the actresses commented.

Adria shook her head and left the lounge room. She met Zeya at the hallway and walked to her.

''Sis Zeya, you won't believe what just happened in there'' Adria said.

''What happened? Why is she out so soon without causing any trouble?'' Zeya folded her arms as she looked at Alice's back view.

''Sis Zeya, she didn't fall for the bait. She didn't even react to anything we said about her''

''She is acting tough, right? Alright, since we are all here there is plenty of time to make her disappear from here. how dare she come just now and she has already stolen what was supposed to be mine?''

''Sis Zeya, I managed to get JSC, number for you. I also found the address of his bar which he usually works at. If you go there, you can meet him and be able to convince him to choose you over that Alice''

''JSC is quite secretive. Even though I sent emails to him several times for him to sponsor my clothing line, he hasn't still responded. I should take this chance to go meet him myself…'' Zeya brushed her hair backwards, ''no man has ever rejected me before. he won't be able to say no to this face and this body'' she said proudly.

Reception.

Natalia walked out of the elevator with Lucy as they chatted. ''Go ahead and enjoy your date with Matt. Mikael is here to pick me''

''I'm so nervous. This is our first official date. I don't know how to go about it''

''Just be normal, be you'' Natalie smiled when she saw Matt standing by his car, waiting for Lucy. ''Look, he is waiting for you''

''I will call you after the date'' Lucy kissed Natalie's cheek before hurrying off to Matt.

''She looks so happy'' Natalie muttered and turned to go and heard someone call her name.

''Natalie…'' William, Amy and Jason walked up to her.

''Hi'' Natalie bowed.

''It's good to have you back, Natalie'' Amy said and Natalie nodded her head.

''Thanks, Amy''

''Amy, let's go. I will see you tomorrow, Natalie'' Jason said and they walked away leaving William and Natalie alone.

''How is your body now?''

''I'm fine''

''Natalie, about Mimi. I tried my best but my mother wouldn't allow anyone else be the brand representative''

''You don't have to explain anything to me, William. This is business, we should be able to put aside our feelings and work together. I don't mind''

''So, you and Alice are indeed sisters?''

''Yes, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you before the news came out. There were some reasons I couldn't come out before''

''No, it's alright. I'm happy you have someone with you. How is it, living with your brother in law? Is he treating you well?''

''How did you know I was…''

''I know a lot of things about you that you don't know, Natalie. Are you going home? I will give you a ride''

''Actually…''

''You don't have to do that for her, Mr. Yun. She is with me'' Mikael said as he walked towards them.

Natalie turned to see that he had brought a Lamborghini to pick her up. She cussed when she heard gasped from behind them.

''I didn't know that Mr. Sun was picking up his sister in law today? You didn't do that in the past'' William said as he scrutinized Mikael with a suspicious gaze.

''I begun to do that since a month ago and I will continue to do that. Mr. Yun should just continue to cultivate a working relationship with his workers. I doubt you give your employees ride home all the time. No?'' Mikael replied with a question.

Looking at the tense situation in front of her, Natalie shook her head. She looked at William saying, 'William, this was an arrangement by us. You don't need to give me a ride as Mikael will be doing that but I appreciate the gesture. Mikael, let's go before your fans rush on us'' Natalie looked at Mikael with a pleading gaze.

''Let's go, Natie'' Mikael held her hand and walked with her to the car. He opened the passenger seat for her and waited for her to get in before he walked over to the driver's seat. He looked at William through the windbreak and smirked victoriously.

William signed and muttered, 'Natalie, why are you always unreachable to me?''

….

Josh was serving a customer when Zeya arrived at the bar. She sat at the counter and placed her purse on the counter table and relaxed her arm in a way that her cleavage showed. She was wearing Dior printed patterned short dress which exposed her long legs and matched it with a crotch purse.

Zeya believed in herself. It could be said that she had so much confidence in her beauty and believed that no man was capable of rejecting her. She had always received attention and praise wherever she went hence, convincing JSC was considered a piece of cake for her.

After all, no man could say no to a beautiful woman!

Josh walked to her after serving some customers. He was wiping his hands against a napkin. His hair which was slightly wet gave him a boyish look which made him handsome.

''Hi, what can you serve you?'' Josh asked the familiar stranger in front of him. He knew who she was very well. She had sent countless emails to his secretary asking for him to sponsor her clothes but he had always refused it and allowed his secretary to reject them on his behalf.

The only woman he wanted to see wearing the clothing he designed was Alice. After all, he first got the inspiration to design from her. but, that was something only he knew about.

''Hi, JSC. I am Zeya. You know me, right?'' Zeya asked smugly as she smiled. There was no way he wouldn't know who she was, right? When she noticed that he was quiet for a while, she smiled.

'This is how you should behave. Just like other men who get flustered and confused, lost for words when I speak to them. I knew you would fall for me once I speak to you' Zeya scoffed internally but she didn't expect to be thrown a question no one had dared to ask her before.
