Alyssa didn’t think carefully about this before. Now she realized Hailey likely spread the scandals online. It could be the scented candles that got her all worked up. Alyssa used to believe that the hotel provided those candles, but now she suspected it was Hailey all along.
How could I be so hopelessly stupid? Alyssa thought.
Alyssa pulled her hand out of Hailey’s, looked at her, and asked coldly, “So, what do you think I should give him?”
“You. You are the most precious gift for him. You’re gonna get married anyway. It won’t hurt to have sex with him a few days earlier. He will be thrilled,” Hailey said with a sweet smile and winked at Alyssa. “That way, you would really belong to each

Alyssa scoffed inwardly, ‘Since Hailey is so intent on setting me up. How could I waste all her hard work?”
Alyssa spoke up. “You’re right. You can arrange it for me. It’s his birthday the day after tomorrow.”

Andrew Coleman, the president of Coleman Fashion, was Sean’s arch–enemy. Coleman Fashion was established just three years ago as a clothing brand, similar to Rivorn Clothing,
Unlike its competitor, Coleman Fashion was like the new kid on the block, still learning the ropes of the industry. Despite. being relatively new, it quickly rose to be a strong rival to Rivori Clothing with its unique brand and designs.
During her time at the company, Alyssa worked tirelessly to always stay one step ahead of Coleman Fashion by launching new products and hiring famous designers and models to design and promote for the company. Even though Coleman Fashion was already powerful, it was always outperformed by Rivorn Clothing-
