Both of them had returned to their home country. She'd heard that Faith was now a principal dancer at a national dance company.
"Faith?" Emma said the name, but Isla's expression remained unchanged, as if she'd never heard of her.
Emma tried again. "Sebastian?"
At that, Isla's face shifted ever so slightly.
Emma knew then that the 'original creator' she was referring to was Sebastian.
"Isla, if you're truly this dissatisfied with our company, this is a two-way street. We can terminate your contract," Emma stated. "But if you continue to slander the company and my work, I will reserve the right to sue."
Isla just smiled. "You can try to sue. See if you win. I don't fight battles I'm not prepared to win, Emma."
She emphasized Emma's name with heavy sarcasm.
Then, she turned and strode proudly past Emma. At the door, she glanced back. "And as for terminating my contract, I don't think so. You have no grounds to fire me. I haven't violated a single clause. If you fire me without cause, I'll sue you too."
Watching her leave, Emma wondered: was she sent by Sebastian? Or was she here to get 'revenge' for him?
That evening, Emma went back to her place near the school.
Genevieve came over with fruit tarts.

So, she was in love with Sebastian.

Emma smiled. "You think you can handle her?"
Genevieve tilted her head. "I've been clashing with her since we were little. I'm an expert at getting under her skin!"
