Avery smirked. “You can’t underestimate my big sister too much. She’s got a lot of tricks up her sleeve, and they’re going to get married sooner or later. You better seize the chance while you still have it, Idania. I’ll even help out if you need me to.”
“No thanks.” Idania rolled her eyes, ignoring Avery’s quip. “I know what I should do. I’m Tobias’ biggest weakness. I know he’s still not over me. You wanna know why he hasn’t changed his phone number all these years? It’s because he’s been waiting for me to get back in touch with him.”
On stage, Skylar was enjoying a mini meet-and-greet with her fans. Every candid picture captured of her could be used as the cover of a glamour magazine.
“I heard that you’ve liked this brand ever since you were a student, Skylar!” the host said. “How did you feel when they approached you to become a spokesperson for the brand?”
The woman on stage’s smile stiffened for the briefest moment. This host had not done their homework: she had been too broke to afford to buy Gucci knockoffs as a student, let alone buy any original items from the brand.
“I was very excited when I found out!” she replied instead. “Gucci has always been one of my favorite brands. It’s just that it was out of my league when I was a student, you know? I couldn’t afford it back then, so I made it my goal to one day be able to afford it. I remember telling myself that when I grew up, I had to buy some clothes from the brand for myself.”
“Fortunately, our prices are all very reasonable, and your dream was easily achieved, no?”
Skylar laughed awkwardly, her mouth suddenly dry. Gucci’s prices were the farthest thing from “reasonable.”
At that remark, Avery rolled her eyes. “What a joke. She couldn’t even afford to buy a pair of Anta shoes back then, let alone Gucci ones.”
“I couldn’t afford to buy Gucci back then either,” Idania commented absentmindedly. “Everything branded I owned were gifts from Tobias. I think he has some sort of obsession with poor girls, and that’s why he’s so infatuated with Skylar. He wants to use her as a replacement for me.”
Avery kept mum, unsure of how to respond to that comment. Sure, Idania was very confident, but… When was Idania finally going to steal Tobias away from Skylar?
