    I looked around and I spotted Janaing towards me.


    Excitement showed on her face. I did not know what to say. If not because I knew that Jana did not


    have an hand in the leaking of my shoe designs, I would find her suspicious.


    It is as if she wanted the designs to leak. The shock she had when she heard that the designs were


    leaked is nowhere to be seen.


    I epted the shoes she brought before leading her to the area the organizers of the show had set


    aside for those that wanted to showcase their products.


    “Next is Fashion Spark. Where is the people from fashion Spark?” The host was a woman with a


    beautiful figure.


    She first introduced my business to the crowd. When she saw that nobody from my business came on


    stage, she began to call for us repeatedly.


    I sighed in relief.


    Thankfully, Jana made it in time.


    I did not want us to lose a chance to make a name for ourselves because we werete.


    We have already tried our best to fight for a chance to showcase our hardwork, it would be bitter if all


    our efforts refused to be rewarded just because ofteness.


    My business was called Fashion Spark. I was not really good with names and I settled on this one after


    Mrs Barrington rejected many names I thought up.


    It was hard to find a satisfactory name. Either the name I choose soundedme or it had already been


    taken by others.


    I only settled on this one after much difficulty.


    The model we brought wore the first pair of shoes before sauntering onto the stage.


    Happiness filled me.


    At least, we did not fall prey to the plot that happened to us.


    Soon, the model I brought presented all the shoes Jana brought.


    Although these pairs of shoes could notpare to the ones I spent weeks on, it was still satisfiable.


    Finally, the show needed.


    The expression on the people that came from m Beauty was exhrating to see when they


    discovered we were not beaten down by their trap.


    Sadie did note back into the hall after what went on between us. It was understandable.


    I had already relieved her from her job, it was not her right to be here anymore.


    Although I thought she will be thick-skinned but thankfully, she disappointed me.


    Right now, I did not want to see her.


    Seeing her would let my anger rise like it was on stimnts.


    For now, I did not want to think about her and her betrayal first.


    Her actions hurt me so much because she was someone I took as a part of me.


    Now, I just want my mind to enjoy the victory we won with our efforts. I don’t want to be preupied


    with the thoughts of her betrayal.


    It was not toote to think about itter.


    I wanted to rejoice in this small victory I won from the people from the m Beauty organization.


    The show had ended and the audience began to trickle out of the huge venue.


    Mrs Barrington met up with me at the main entrance of the venue that the show was held in.


    Inside the car, I finally had time to address my suspicions.


    The pups


    didn’t rely on me to provide milk anymore. The milk they take is like a side dish. It became something


    they could do without so I was able to throw myself into my business wholeheartedly.


    I did not have to worry about them starving when I am not present.


    I looked at Mrs Barrington, “Mother, how did you know she was rted to the leak that happened to my


    designs?”


    Mrs Barrington watched mend kisses on the cheeks of my pups before she answered. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    “Her eyes showed it. I could see that you treated her like a treasure but her eyes did not show any


    satisfaction at all.” Mrs Barrington said and the incident that happened previously dawned in me.


    I understood the dissatisfaction Mrs Barrington said she saw in Sadie eyes. I had seen it before too.


    That time, I asked her if she was not okay with being my assistant.


    I thought her pride took a hit when I told her to work as my assistant and not something else.


    I did not know that Mrs Barrington suspected it was something else.


    It seemed Sadie was dissatisfied with me a long time ago.


    I mused over all our interactions.


    Since she came to Zera city, I had tried to pamper her within the limits of my power.


    She had been through a lot and I wanted to be there for her as her best friend.


    I did not want her to remember her past suffering. I did not want her to be stuck in the past.


    I did not know she held resentment towards me.


    I remembered the first time I saw her.


    I could recall the strange hate that had shone through her eyes.


    I thought I was hallucinating. I even thought the hate was for her sc um alpha mate but it seemed like I


    was severely


    mistaken.


    Now, I knew I did not see wrongly.


    Sadie disliked me but I still don’t know why.


    In the past, we were very close and nothing coulde between us.


    What had caused Sadie to dislike me?


    I will never believe that she did not have a hand in that design leak.


    The Sadie I know is not a careless person. How can an unknown girl she saved casually have ess


    to her phone?


    How had the girl known that the designs belonged to my business?


    Why didn’t the thought of the designs being downloaded from the inte cross the girl’s mind?


    It was as if the girl knew for sure that the designs were mine so she sold it to apetitor.


    Besides, this girl came from Sadie’s mouth and words. I don’t know if this girl is real.


    I don’t know if this girl is her excuse to cover her bad actions.


    Still, I could not understand.


    I went through all the interaction I ever had with Sadie and I did not see anything that would cause her


    to dislike me like this.


    In the past, it was not like we did not have our disagreements but it never reached this stage of hate.


    We would argue and keep up a cold war before one of us would apologize.


    Her new change was surprising.


    The thought of someone goading her to hate me crossed my mind.


    This change in her character was too sudden.


    I could not help but suspect that so called benefactor of hers.


    Still, it did not matter if she was goaded into hating me. I regarded her as my friend. She should not


    have done this.


    She spoiled all my hardworking because of hate.


    I did not believe that a person can not conquer their emotions. It might be hard but at least even if she


    can’t conquer it, she can try to tell me her grievances instead of lurking behind me like a snake looking


    for an opportunity to attack.


    I know feeling negative emotions is normal.


    What I considered as selfish and abnormal is if the person acts on those negative thoughts.


    If I had known, I would not make her part of my business at all. I had let my view of our friendship get in


    the way.


    “You are right, mother. I don’t know why she changed so much.” I said wistfully.


    Although everybody willpower is very different, it did not mean mortals are very fragile.


    There was strength in the fragility of the weak.


    Simr things that had happened to Sadie happened to me and I never changed abruptly to hurt


    someone else. –


    For some reason, my mind drifted to the unknown benefactor Sadie had again.


    He was strong and rich for him to be able to get her here.


    Why di someone so elevated looked for Sadie?


    Why had Sadiee to the city I was specifically located?


    I felt like all this is connected to me in one way or another.


    Everything was out of my control as a long as Sadie was concerned.


    Her benefactor still remained in the dark and I was wary.


    Still, I pushed thoughts of Sadie way from my mind. Today was a good day, we had managed to turn


    something bad into something good.


    We did not fall into the traps of others and we were not kicked away as we witnessed something we


    worked so hard for being destroyed.


    Under pressure today, my employees had already showed that they can be reliable. It was touching to


    see this and I decided to add more bonuses to their sry.


    They did a good job. We did not return home with shame and a bad reputation.


    Slowly, our car began to move to our house. There was no hastes that might cause bumps on the


    driver’s faces and everything was smooth.


    When we reached home, I went straight to my room and took a warm shower.


    All through today, I had been in a high strung state and it felt like my spirit just rested now.


    The dramatic events of this show had finally came to a close.


    Now, all I want to do is grow my business before going to the Lycan Groove to visit Dante.


    I can not hide from this forever.
