“Everything okay, Becky?” Nichs asked as he noticed the change in Reba’s expression.
‘Don’t trust anyone!‘ Lucy’s words echoed in her mind. She stared at Nichs for a long time, wondering if he was someone she could truly trust.
“Becky?”
Reba cleared her throat softly. “Sorry, I was just thinking about work, but yeah, everything’s okay!”
She suddenly felt like asking Nichs about his cooperation with the DEA in Harvey’spany investigation, but she was afraid Nichs would get angry because discussions about Harvey Specter always caused arguments between them.
“We’re staying at my apartment, right?” He asked casually.
Reba frowned. “Um, of course not. I have to go straight to the hotel. Arnault Saverio’s team is already waiting for me,” she replied, her mind distracted by Lucy’s email. She knew she shouldn’t be scared, but she was starting to have trust issues with everyone, especially Nichs.
“Is that so? Alright then, I’m sure you’ll be busy with the beauty stuff and everything, so I’ll stay at my apartment and see you tomorrow before the party,” Nichs said with a warm smile.
Suddenly, Reba felt a pang of guilt. How could she doubt Nichs after everything he had done for her?
“Thanks, Nic,” she said sincerely. She turned her gaze to the window, and a thought crossed her mind.
“What if Lucy is ying me? What if Alicia told Lucy to scare me so I’d this town?‘ That idea made a lot of sense.

Minutester at the hotel, Reba was warmly weed by Arnault Saverio’s team. She was escorted to her room and given a schedule for her fittings, makeup, hair, and other preparations.
After everyone left, the inte in her room suddenly rang. She quickly answered it,

Reba’s body tensed instantly, cold sweat flooding her back<b>. </b>That voice, the voice <b>she </b>hated most.
“Oh, hi Stalker! I knew you’d know about my arrival. As my number one <b>fan</b>, you wouldn’t miss it, right?” Reba said, trying hard to stay calm<b>. </b>
Aliciaughed mockingly. “Look at you! Do you think after all your efforts, Harvey will notice you? He doesn’t care if you’re alive or dead!”
Rebaughed so hard she almost cried. “Well, if what you say is true, then why are you so scared?”
“Oh, shut up, bitch! You know I can ruin your fledgling career anytime!” Alicia snapped angrily..
“Believe me, Foxy, I can do worse than you imagine. I have nothing to lose, remember that!” Reba hissed and mmed the phone down. Her entire body was trembling. Hearing Alicia’s voice brought back bitter memories of what happened a few months
ago.
“You’ll pay for this, Alicia! I promise you will!”
Suddenly, her phone vibrated with a message from Nichs.
you, right?”
“Get some rest. It’s going to be a long <i>day </i>tomorrow. You know I love you,
Reba gripped her hair, confused. ‘Maybe I should learn how to love Nichs after my revenge isplete…”
She grabbed her phone and typed quickly.
“U too, thank you, Nic.”
That night, Reba decided not to join the Arnault Saverio team for dinner and stayed in her room instead. Her mind was too cluttered, thinking about what would happen the next day. She took a sleeping pill and slept soundly.
The next day.
After lunch, preparations for the Met G began. Several people who called themselves

the ‘m team‘ gathered in Reba’s room and got to work.
“Um, I’ll just do the basics because Arnault wants you to do your own makeup. He’s really impressed with your makeup skills,” said a woman, applying base makeup to Reba’s wless skin.

Reba nodded. “No problem,” she replied, observing the six people in her room and wondering if any of them were Alicia’s spies.
“Um, do you know Alicia Fox?” Reba asked the non–threatening makeup girl. The girl frowned momentarily, thinking, and then said, “Oh, the model who just made aeback?”
“Yeah, I heard she’s attending the event tonight, Reba murmured, hoping no one in the room followed news about the Specter family. The girl tilted her head, unsure. “I don’t know. I mean, she just made aeback, and I don’t see why Vanity would invite her.”
Reba felt very satisfied hearing the girl’s response as if it validated that she was far more deserving of being there than Alicia. She observed her m team one by one and felt sure none of them were behaving suspiciously.
‘It’s not one of them…‘

“Becky, are you expecting someone? Nichs Bet?” asked a staff member with an Arnault Saverionyard around his neck. Reba nodded. “Yeah, let him in.”
Shortly after,
“Wow<i>, </i>is that your boyfriend? He looks really handsome!” eximed the hairdresser, ncing at the mirror before them.
Reba looked up and saw Nichs walking towards her. The hairdresser was right; he looked incredibly handsome in his Arnault Saverio suit. “Hey, Nic!” she greeted, smiling genuinely.
‘He deserves <i>to </i>be loved, Becky!‘ a voice in her head barked, reminding her.
“Done! We’ll change your outfit now, and youll be ready to make your debut at the Met G! Damn, I’m sure you’ll be the center of attention tonight!” the hairdresser chirped.

“Hey, have you had lunch?” Nichs asked, standing next to Reba, gently stroking her satin pajama–covered shoulder.
“Yeah, I just had a small cupcake. I didn’t want my stomach to look bloated from eating. too much,” she replied, giving a wry smile as she realized that being famous wasn’t easy.
Nichs chuckled. “Well, promise me you’ll eat properly after the party is over!”
Reba nodded. She looked at Nichs and suddenly realized something. “Nic, how did you know I was in this room?” she asked, still smiling to avoid offending him with her question.
Nichs looked surprised. There was a brief pause before he said, “I’ve been messaging with one of your m team members,” he replied, nodding his head as if to reassure
her.
“Oh, I see…” Reba fell silent, almost certain that when Nichs arrived, none of the Arnault Saverio staff seemed to know who he was. One of them even asked her if she had an appointment with someone waiting at the door.
She nced at Nichs, who was calmly looking out the window, and suddenly a great fear gripped her. What if Nichs and Alicia…
