âSheâs feeling under the weather today, so sheâs just resting at home.â
While they chatted, Rita saw the autographed item in Aunt Maryâs hand.
âIs... Is that Eliaâs autograph?!â she exclaimed.
She had been asking her father to get Eliaâs autograph for her. However, he never helped her with it. He did not even allow her to approach Elia, which angered her immensely.
Unexpectedly, Mary managed to obtain Eliaâs autograph!
Mary handed it to Rita with a smile. âI actually got this for you. Since you happen to be here, I donât have to go looking for you anymore.â
Rita took it with a look of surprise. âThank you, Aunt Mary! But how did you get her autograph?â
Mary smiled and said, âIt wasnât me! Miss Pond got it. If thereâs anyone to thank, it should be her.â
When Rita heard this, she looked at Ada and spoke with a grateful expression, âThank you, Miss Pond. Also, congratulations on winning the design competition!â
Ada responded with a reserved smile and said, âYou were really outstanding too. I saw that you won third place.â
Rita nodded. âYes. Either way, youâre still excellent, Miss Pond. My father is asking me to learn more from you!â
Before she came, she had been neutral toward Ada. After she discovered that Ada knew Elia and even obtained the autograph, Rita immediately changed her attitude.
âYou donât have to learn from me. Iâve seen your designs, and theyâre amazing as well.â
Rita looked at Ada curiously and changed the subject. âHow did you get to know Elia? Sheâs my idol!â
Adaâs smile became a little unnatural. âWe met at an event overseas. I never thought that she would become a judge in the design competition.â
âDid you invite her to your banquet?â
Ever since she coincidentally crossed paths with Elia at home, she had wanted to see what Elia looked like. It would be great if she could get to know her.
âI invited her, but she doesnât have time to come over. Sheâs incredibly busy with her work,â Ada slowly said.
âOkay.â
Rita was disappointed, but she knew that it would not be easy to meet Elia.
âOh yeah, since you know her, do you have any photos of her? Sheâs my idol, so Iâve always been curious about what she looks like.â
Ada shook her head. âNo. After all, people her age arenât very fond of taking photos.â
Ritaâs eyes glinted with surprise! Something seemed off.
âHer age?â
Wasnât Elia around the same age as them?
Before Ada could reply, Mary said, âYes. Eliaâs about our age, so itâs not surprising that she doesnât like to be in photos.â
Rita frowned as she looked at Ada and asked, âAre you sure that you really know Elia?â
The girl who previously walked past her was clearly in her twenties. How could she possibly be the same age as her mother?
Adaâs heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.
However, she immediately assumed that it would be impossible for Rita to have met Elia. With that, she calmed down and nodded. âYes. We even met after the competition ended today.â
Right after Ada answered, Ritaâs expression turned cold.
âYouâre lying!â
Her voice was loud, and it instantly drew a lot of attention.
When Mary realized that others had started to look at them, she quickly held Ritaâs hand.
âWhy are you yelling all of a sudden?â
Rita sneered. âIâve walked past Elia before. At that time, I didnât realize it was her, but Iâm pretty sure that sheâs about my age. She couldnât possibly be in her forties!â
