Chapter 287


    “You would think myments were sarcastic, but if you were Ms. Sanders who said that, would you


    find it pleasing to your ears? Which of herpliments about me was sincere then?”

    “Did Camic say something wrong?” Confused, Eric looked at me.


    “She said I looked beautiful and her dress looked much better on mepared to Beverly. That is


    true?”


    “Well, in my opinion, it’s true,” replied Eric in a matter-of-fact manner. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked


    you to be our exclusive model.”


    Upon hearing that, I didn’t know whether to be happy or angry, but I realized that I couldn’t


    Not relenting, Eric continued, “Camie isn’t the type to speak sarcastically, so she really meant it when


    sheplimented you. It’s true that she lies sometimes, but being in the entertainment business, she


    has to. Otherwise, her future won “Don’t be promising if she’s too frank. Unlike you, you’re not from the


    entertainment world. Why learn from them?”


    With a stered smile, I said, “Mr. Walker, you are so good at berating others. Coming from you, all


    reasoning makes sense, but before you scold others, you should examine yourself. As far as being a


    hypocrite goes, you’re no better than I am. On the surface, you acted friendly towards Dn, but only


    you know what’s really on his mind.


    “Did I act friendly towards Dn?” Startled for a moment, Eric asked, “Is there conflict between Dn


    and me? Why am I not


    conscious?”


    Not wanting to put up with him making a fool of himself, I was prepared to take my te and leave. At


    that moment, Dn and Camille appeared.


    Seeing the food on my te, Dn was a little shocked. “Lily, since when did you change your food


    preference?”


    Before I could say anything, Eric blurted out, “Miss Hawkins brought this for me, but I didn’t like it.”


    Casting a nce at me and Eric, Camille smiled. “Since Lily isn’t too sure of her food preferences, how


    about I bring you some?”


    “Everything is fine. I think this food will do.”


    “But you really don’t like spicy food, right?” Camille asked incredulously.


    “I’ll get used to it eventually.”


    Hearing this, Camille seemed to be on cloud nine, and I didn’t understand why she was feeling that


    way. Initially, I wanted to get some food, but I had lost my appetite. Looking at Dn, I said. “I’m not


    feeling very well all of a sudden.”


    Taking the hint, Dn immediately suggested, “I’ll give you a ride home.”


    With a smile, Eric scoffed, “I think Ms. Hawkins not feeling too good inside? Do you need me to call in


    some specialists to see how you are?”


    Turning a deaf ear to their teasing, I said goodbye to Camille and left with Dn. As soon as we reach


    the front door, we bump into Beverly. Seeing Dn and I together, there was a look of surprise on


    Beverly’s face.


    In the next second, Beverly greeted Dn with a smile, “President Newman.”


    “Miss Deering.” Dn politely smiled back.


    “That’s it?” ncing at me, Beverly smiled as she started to ask my name.


    “Lilian Hawkins,” Dn replied briefly on my behalf.

    “Hello, Ms. Hawkins,” greeted Beverly as she held out her hand.


    “Hello too, Ms. Deering.” I dly shook her hand, carrying out the formalities.


    With a slight smile, Dn said, “Ms. Deering, let’s act now. See youter.”


    Leaving the exhibition hall, I let out a sigh. “Finally, I smell freedom!”


    “Do you want to get something to eat?” Dn smiled as he asked me.


    Just as I was about to agree to his suggestion, the phone in my purse rang. Picking up the phone,


    Victoria’s voice rang out. “Lily, it’s me!”
