The voice carried a biting familiarity, and Raegan turned her gaze toward the source.


    The woman seemed strangely familiar.


    Then, it dawned on her.


    She was none other than Lauren, Mitchel’s first love.


    Raegan couldn’t help but smile.


    “You must be the infamous mistress?”


    With that single sentence, Lauren’s face flushed crimson.


    “What nonsense are you…” Her words halted mid-insult, realizing that all eyes were fixedly observing her.


    Lauren clenched her teeth, never expecting Raegan to be so forthright.


    Her carefully crafted image of a refineddy seemed perilously close to being tarnished.


    Wearing a smile tainted with lingering resentment, Lauren retorted, “Oh, please tell me that was a joke.


    ”


    “A joke? You surely are.


    ” Raegan didn’t back down, for Lauren had been the first to employ sarcasm.


    Cary intervened to ease the tension, “Both of you are remarkabledies.


    The design industry is beginning to grow because of talents like you.


    I’m impressed.


    ”


    “Cary, I’m ttered.


    ” Lauren seized this moment to smooth things over.


    This gatheringprised prominent figures in the design industry, and she was determined to prevent her past from being exposed, which could tarnish her burgeoning career and reputation.


    Although her current standing in the industry was modest, she had a bigwig behind her, and she couldn’t afford to let the bigwig get to know any of her disgusting past.


    With this in mind, Lauren opted to restrain herself, refraining from contributing much to the conversation.


    Cary took the lead in most discussions.


    In truth, this gathering served as a bid selection process.


    In the past, smaller studios seldom had the opportunity to directlypete with Alpire Studio, an unwritten rule that had prevailed.


    However, with the inclusion of Crescent, boastingparable style and influence, the dynamics had shifted.


    There was an air of curiosity among those present, wondering if the makeup and stylingpany responsible for Sino Entertainment’s A-list stars this year would change.


    After all, the allure of celebrities often eclipsed that of even the mostpelling advertisements.


    Halfway through the gathering, Cary excused himself to visit the restroom.


    As the chamber’s restroom was upied, he ventured outside.


    After a while, Lauren discreetly made her way to the restroom door.


    She scanned the area, finding it empty, and entered.


    The restroom was spacious, offering afortable seating area.


    Before Lauren could stand firm, Cary pulled her over and rubbed her waist with his hand.


    Lauren rested her knees on the toilet lid, facing the wall.


    The mirror behind her reflected the curvaceous nature of her buttocks as she knelt there.


    Cary, still in his forties, appeared refined with his sses, but in terms of s@x, he seemed somewhat unconventional.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
