"Madam."
"Have Randy and the others arrived?"
"Mr. Osborne and the others didn't get an invitation."
Debra's lips curved into a smirk. "No invitation for Randy, Erica, Marion, but me."
It was ironic since Melody had never attached so much importance to her.
"Let's go."
She was a vision in a red gown that hugged her figure perfectly, her curls cascading down her back. Around her neck and wrists gleamed limited-edition jewelry from the Riley family. Her appearance immediately attracted attention.
"Mrs. Nichols Sr., Debra is here."
In the center of the hall, Shelia, dressed in a white gown, stood arm-in-arm with Melody. Her pregnant belly was prominent, and standing beside Melody made her glow even more.
Melody looked at Debra with a mocking smile. She clinked glasses with Leah Riley, a woman in her forties who exuded elegance and grace.
"Mrs. Riley, I hope you're enjoying yourself."
"You too, Mrs. Nichols Sr."
Leah and her husband, Jack Riley, were the epitome of a loving couple.
Debra had done her homework on Riley Jewelry when she was considering a collaboration. Leah and Jack were currently at the helm of the company.
They had been married for over 20 years, and their love never faded. Despite the luxurious and high-end nature of their jewelry, each piece was designed with Leah in mind.
Debra had chosen to wear some of Leah's favorite designs, hoping to curry favor with the woman. However, she wasn't naïve enough to believe in the fairy-tale romance of the industry.
A quick investigation revealed that Jack was keeping a college student as a mistress, a fact that Leah was aware of but chose to ignore.
This situation reminded Debra of her own predicament. If she could use this shared experience to gain Leah's sympathy and favor, it would make her task much easier.
