Chapter 301

“Long time no see, Miss Swift. What are you doing here?” Eliana greeted Nicole politely.

Wasn’t Cheryl the leading actress of the play? Why was Nicole, who was always at odds with her,

here?

“I’m here as a guest performer. What about you? Why are you here?” There was slight confusion in

Nicole’s eyes.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Eliana averted her gaze. How could she tell her former boss that she was

now working for her archrival?

“Cheryl ordered a bracelet from the Moran Group. I’m her designer. She asked me to come here

today.”

Eliana hesitated for a while but finally decided to tell the truth.

Nicole raised her eyebrows in surprise, but there was no dissatisfaction on her face. But Esteban, her

agent, immediately frowned and looked unhappy.

“I didn’t expect you to be so good at compromising, Miss Pierce. You’re still willing to work for Cheryl

regardless of previous grievances. Didn’t she cause you a whole lot of trouble in the past?”

Esteban’s words were so harsh that Eliana didn’t know how to answer. After his last remark, an all too

noticeable pause followed.

“Esteban!” Nicole glared at her agent. She said in a serious tone, “Why are you so narrow-minded?

Eliana is just an employee. She doesn’t get to choose clients.”

Eliana didn’t expect that Nicole would stand up and speak for her. She didn’t know what to do.

Nicole then turned around and offered Eliana an invitation.

“Miss Pierce, despite our dispute before, after our last cooperation, I’ve seen that no matter who you

style or design jewelry for, you always perform very well. I appreciate your work ethic and spirit. I hope

we get to work together again in the future.”

Eliana couldn’t help feeling moved by Nicole’s praises. They meant a lot coming from someone like her.

Staring at Nicole’s eyes, Eliana could tell that she was being serious and sincere.

Eliana didn’t expect that after their previous cooperation, Nicole would consider her a friend. It was

such a pleasant surprise.

“Of course. I actually look forward to it.”

With a smile on her face, Eliana shook hands with Nicole.

At that moment, the two of them had a feeling of appreciation toward each other.

“You said Cheryl asked you to come here. Where is she? Why hasn’t she come to meet you? Is she

trying to make things difficult for you?”

Nicole knew her sworn enemy well.

“No, no, I just arrived. Cheryl asked me to go to her dressing room. I was trying to look for it,” Eliana

explained.

“Oh, I see. Let me point you to the right direction then.” Nicole raised her hand and pointed out Cheryl’s

dressing room. “It’s this way. Turn left at the first corner, take a few more steps, and then you should

find it.”

“Thank you so much.”

Eliana felt lucky and grateful that she had run into Nicole. Otherwise, she would’ve wasted a huge

amount of time looking for Cheryl.

When she was about to walk away, Nicole suddenly stopped her.

“Eliana, I have to remind you that Cheryl is very vindictive. If you have ever offended her in any way,

you must be careful.”

In Nicole’s opinion, if Cheryl knew that Eliana had worked for her before, she wouldn’t let Eliana go so

easily. She might even be plotting something terrible.

Feeling a tightening sensation in her chest, Eliana kept Nicole’s words in mind.

Eventually, Eliana found Cheryl’s dressing room. She knocked on the door and then realized that it was

ajar.

She pushed the door open and stuck her head through the crack.

“Hello? Anybody here?”

Eliana went straight in.

Cheryl wasn’t in the room, but there was a familiar person sitting there.

It was the man with whom Cheryl had been having an affair.

“You’re the beautiful lady that I’d seen last time. Fancy meeting you here. It must be my lucky day.”

The man’s eyes lit up when he saw Eliana, and he strode toward her immediately.

Reflexively, Eliana stepped back. Her heart began to race.

Before she could walk back out, a large group of reporters rushed into the room. Camera flashes lit up

the room in an instant, sending Eliana in a daze. Everyone took photos and videos of her and Cheryl’s

lover.

“Miss, what’s your relationship with Mr. Willard Hancock of Harmony Group?”

“Did you know that Mr. Hancock has a wife and children? You’re a third party that’s destroying a man’s

family.”

Eliana was stupefied.

Who was Willard Hancock? What third party?

What were they talking about?
