“You sure are my daughter.” Mary nodded in satisfaction.
After lunch, Ashlyn was on her way to her lounge with Shannon, in which the logo of their brand, LX was affixed on the door.
Fashion Week had prepared separate lounges for every guest and brand owner.
Ashlyn had never been in the habit of taking a nap during lunch break. But Shannon, on the other hand, half nervous and half excited, fell asleep on the couch shortly after.
Ashlyn shook her head and got up, wanting to use the restroom.
She grabbed her purse and walked out of the room. Then heading in the restroom’s direction, as indicated by the signage, she suddenly heard a sexy, panting sound when she walked past a room.
“You and Mr. Reedman will vote for me this time, right, Mr. O’Brien?”
Ashlyn’s forehead puckered.
This voice sounds so familiar... Megan Hobbs?
Ashlyn pursed her lips and peered inside through the door that was slightly ajar—Megan was being pinned against the sofa by a tall European man, whose one hand was unbuttoning her roughly and the other slipping under her shirt.
“Oh, Ms. Hobbs, your scent is really unforgettable,” O’Brien spoke with an accent. “You Eurasian women have such petite figures. I’m afraid I’ll crush you.”
“You can’t go back on your word, Mr. O’Brien!” Megan said coquettishly, wrapping her arms around the man’s waist and planted kisses on his neck.
“I think Ms. X from your company has really great taste! Her designs are very soulful and bold! How about... you introduce her to me?” O’Brien gave Megan a nasty smile, ravaging her body with his large hands.
At the thought of Ashlyn’s tall and slender figure and that delicate body, O’Brien couldn’t help but feel his body tighten and his belly burn.
That woman was mysterious and gorgeous, looking very attractive despite the mask. He couldn’t help wanting to remove her mask and see what the woman looked like.
Megan’s jealousy and anger stirred. But she couldn’t afford to offend the man before her, so she forced a smile and said in a sweet voice, “Hey, how could you do this? You have your eyes on that X, haven’t you? If you fancy her, how about I get her for you and you can play with her?”
