Roza greeted some guests and brought Bella to her studio.
They were as close as sisters. Without any outsiders around, they happily chatted about everything.
Roza brought out her best tea to serve Bella and some snacks made by the top pastry chefs in the
country, which the guests downstairs did not get to eat.
âMaster, please taste this!â
âMm⦠This is an excellent tea, more precious than gold. Itâs fragrant and mellow in taste. Not bad at
all!â Bella sipped the tea leisurely and held the dainty teacup gracefully.
Her good form, etiquette, and in-born elegance were self-evident and something that most people
could not learn.
âIâm glad you like this tea!â Roza chuckled.
Roza was usually an aloof introvert, but in front of Bella, she became a silly little girl.
Their acquaintance went back six years.
Although Roza was extremely talented in fashion design and had a lot of inspiration, she rose to
prominence prematurely and became the target of public criticism.
Roza was forced to take part in a reality show that designed clothes for celebrities. However, she was
humiliated by a big-name actress on the show and was criticized by the influential judges.
Later, Sharon, a global sensation and talented fashion designer, publicly spoke out for her online.
Sharon criticized the ill-intentioned people on the show and exposed their true colors.
With Sharon taking the lead to defend Roza, some designers who had suffered under those judgesâ
criticism came forward to expose the bias and underhanded tactics in the design world. This garnered
attention for Roza and allowed the public to notice her excellence as an up-and-coming designer.
âThe more outstanding you are, the more you will be subjected to criticism. You will only achieve
greatness if you persevere. Ms. Walker, you have a talent that amazes me. Donât be discouraged and
move forward boldly!â
Sharon was like an oasis in the desert, giving Roza hope to continue in this tough industry.
Later, the designers who criticized Roza publicly apologized under the publicâs pressure. However, no
one believed that the designers were sincere in their apology, so they were eventually ruined. The
actress who scolded Roza had numerous scandals exposed. Within a year, the actress disappeared
from the entertainment industry.
âMaster, youâre the genius designer, Sharon. Why donât you disclose your true identity?â Roza asked
curiously as she poured more tea for Bella.
âYouâve asked this question a hundred times already. Youâre like a broken record.â
Bella rubbed her temples and continued, âI just like the feeling of strategizing behind the scenes. I donât
like standing in the spotlight, and I donât want to disrupt my peaceful life now.â
âSigh⦠Itâs such a pity. If you told the world that you were Sharon, that bitch earlier would probably be
so frightened. Her jaw would probably dislocate from gaping so hard. Then she wouldnât dare be so
rude to you.â
Roza gritted her teeth in anger. âHow dare she laugh at you just because she is Justin Salvadorâs
fiancée? Sheâs so arrogant!â
âSheâs a nobody.â
Bella sipped on the tea, feeling at ease. âSheâs not worthy of knowing who Sharon is.â
âBut why would you quarrel with that bitch? Do you have a grudge against her? Do you want me to help
you deal with her?â
Bella was startled, and she smiled lightly. âNo, itâs okay. Sheâs the future wife of the Salvador
Corporationâs president.â
âSo what? Iâm your little guard dog who will bite anyone who dares to attack you!â Roza bared her little
white teeth as she spoke, looking adorable.
Bella felt a little guilty at the mention of this.
Although Roza had a close relationship with Bella, she still did not know her true identity as Bella
Thompson, the daughter of the richest man in Hatchbay, let alone that she was Justinâs ex-wife.
Sometimes, Bella felt like she had a split personality.
She had so many identities, and the people she knew from these identities had yet to cross paths. She
had her own circle of friends and drama as each of her identities.
It was quite magical.
âMaster, does your promise still count?â Roza held a heart-shaped pastry in her hands and looked at
Bella eagerly.
âOf course. I always keep my word. But did you get a dance partner for me? I wonât accept it if heâs not
handsome or if he canât dance well.â Bella crossed her slender legs, looking like a mighty queen.
âIâve prepared everything! He has long legs, sexy abs, a prominent adonis belt, and a gorgeous face.
Heâs absolutely delectable! I guarantee youâll be satisfied!â
The episode with Rosalind did not affect the reception.
Justin stood there with a cold face. His perfectly tailored suit outlined his muscular body, and his
expensive leather shoes were proof of his stature, gaining him a lot of attention from every woman in
the room.
Rosalind stared back at them with hostile eyes, looking like a dog guarding its food.
If she had not wanted Roza to design her wedding dress, she would never have brought Justin to such
an occasion. That was because coming to an event like this was equivalent to throwing a slab of meat
into a lionâs den.
However, Justin ignored everyone. His bottomless eyes subconsciously scanned the crowd, looking for
a certain someone.
âAh! Itâs Roza!â
