“Shiela...” whined Sadie.
“If I mess up this time, my modeling career is going to be affected quite badly in the future. How will I participate in major competitions and win awards, let alone be hired for runway shows?”
Sadie wept till snot and tears covered her face. “I bet it's that b*tch Cassandra and Ashlyn that's dragging my name through the mud. They must've hired ghostwriters!”
“All right, all right. Stop crying.”
Shiela reached out to wipe away Sadie's tears. Regardless of what happened, Sadie was still Shiela's sister.
Even if they had their squabbles as siblings, nothing could break the bond between family members.
“Later tonight, I'll give Richard a call to see if he'll pick me up. I'll then ask if he can come up with a solution to this problem,” replied Shiela.
“Thank you, Shiela.”
When Sadie heard what Shiela said, she suddenly broke into a smile. “I knew that you would look out for me.”
“Stop trying to flatter me. I'm heading upstairs now.”
Having said that, Shiela turned on her heel and left.
Many days had passed since the disaster had happened. Things were now mostly under control in the Xanfield disaster zone.
On top of that, the heavy rain from the past few days had come to a stop too.
Post-disaster reconstruction was now a top priority.
A group of staff under James' command, including some of the experts and leading figures in various fields, were discussing how to carry out exhaustive reconstruction efforts.
Ashlyn and Lucas were present at the scene too.
The warm winter sun shone on the two of them as if bathing them in a faint golden glow.
“With only the post-disaster reconstruction left, it feels like a weight off my shoulders,” said Ashlyn, glancing at the clear river water as she sat by the banks.
Lucas raised a brow and leaned close to Ashlyn's ear. “Apart from the reconstruction efforts, are you really not thinking of anything else?” he asked with a hint of mirth in his voice.
Goodness me, my wife is certainly a workaholic.
