Evelyn Curtis thought Justin Battleson was waiting for her there on purpose, which made her heart bloom with joy.
She let go of the frown on her face, adjusted her breath, hooked the corners of her mouth, and put on a sweet smile.
She hid her emotions so well that no trace of the tantrum she had thrown in the lounge was visible on her face.
She trotted up to him and affectionately hooked her arm around his.
Suddenly being clung to, Justin Battleson’s face darkened a bit.
"Why are you smoking again? It’s bad for your health, can you stop smoking for me, please?" Evelyn complained, her voice dripping with sweetness.
Justin moved away subtly without a word, his eyebrows involuntarily frowning.
He obviously had a certain degree of resistance to Evelyn’s intimate advances.
He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand irritably, leading Evelyn to believe she had gotten through to him.
This small gesture filled Evelyn with delight, her heart flourishing with joy again.
Indeed, Justin still cared about her, otherwise he wouldn’t have listened to her .
However, remembering that her chances to get close to Justin were only possible because of Sophie Allen’s necklace, made her feel somewhat bitter.
What was more, now there was a Charlotte Thompson who resembled Sophie...
Was fate making a mockery of her?
At the signing earlier, Evelyn had noticed Justin’s behavior towards Charlotte was clearly different from his interactions with everyone else.
This subtle difference triggered a sense of crisis within Evelyn.
The more she thought about it, the gloomier her expression became.
No, she had to try to tarnish Charlotte’s image in Justin’s mind.
Otherwise, once Charlotte entered Vanguard Jewelry and they started interacting frequently, how could she compete?
Entertaining these thoughts, Evelyn Curtis was filled with envy and resentment towards Charlotte Thompson.
She unclenched her fist that had been balled up at her side.
"Justin, I am almost ruined by that stylist. They gave me counterfeit clothes, now everyone online is cursing me," she said, her eyes welling up with tears.
If Charlotte saw this scene, she would definitely cheer.
Indeed, after acting in the entertainment industry for five years, Evelyn had learned a thing or two about performing.
Evelyn seemed to have subtly passed the blame onto the stylist in the conversation.
"I’ll have someone bring some BK clothes for you later," said Justin in a deep voice.
He was not stingy when it came to material possessions. As long as Evelyn requested something, he would try to fulfill it.
They would often say that when a man is willing to spend money on a woman, it’s because he cares.
Justin’s behavior made Evelyn more convinced that he still had feelings for her.
"And that Charlotte, she keeps bullying me. Why are you still signing with her?"
Evelyn whined about Charlotte Thompson without realizing that the color of Justin Battleson’s face had changed.
She confidently swayed his arm, showing off her soft and adorable demeanor.
If it were another man, they would undoubtedly be charmed by her act and would do everything they could to please her.
But the man in front of her was Justin Battleson.
He watched her play out her facades coolly, his face expressionless, like a machine.
He somehow felt agitated and found her insufferable. The most update n0vels are published on novel[f]ire.net
If she hadn’t provoked Charlotte in the first place, would Charlotte have retaliated?
He had familiarized himself well with the incident that had blown up online before coming here.
He knew very well who was right and who was wrong.
