Reborn Second Chance With The Scheming Tycoon novel Chapter 224

Chapter 185 The show

Driving her flashy Black Feather over would’ve definitely turned heads, so Amelia Johnson

opted to take Emily Carter’s cute little ride instead.

This so–called “cute little ride” was a BMW Z4–cozy enough for just two.

Once they pulled up at the venue, thanks to Mrs. Brown’s prior arrangements, Amelia and

Emily headed straight backstage without any hassle.

“Amelia!”

A cheerful, bubbly voice rang out.

Amelia turned around just in time to see Lily Carter, all dressed up in her Lolita–style outfit,

running toward her like an excited puppy, arms wide open for a bear hug.

Amelia opened her arms too, but to her surprise, Lily ended up hugging someone else

entirely.

Yep–poor Emily, who was right next to her.

Emily was checking his phone when suddenly he got tackled from behind. Totally caught off

guard, he froze as this unknown human clung to him, even nuzzling a bit!

“Amelia, have you gained weight? Wait, I think I have too, ha! Also, did you get taller?”

Amelia’s face went stiff the second she saw Lily hugging Emily while rambling away. She

flicked Lily’s forehead with one finger.

“I’m right here.”

Lily blinked, finally realizing Amelia had been standing to her right the whole time. Then…

who was she squishing?

“Uh… can you let go?” Emily’s face had turned tomato–red.

And the moment Lily heard that voice–definitely a guy’s–she jolted like she’d been

electrocuted, yanked her arms back fast, and her face went completely pink. “Oh my gosh,

sorry! I wasn’t wearing my contacts… totally mistook you!”

She hurried to grab Amelia’s hand and ducked behind her like a huge embarrassed puppy. “It

was a total accident, promise…”

Emily simply waved it off. “It’s fine.”

Seeing he wasn’t mad, Lily came out from hiding, beaming again. “Hi, I’m Lily Carter,”

“Emily Carter.” He reached out to shake her hand and immediately let go, totally polite.

Then Lily turned to Amelia, practically bouncing on her toes. “I’m soooo pumped for the show

tonight! And oh my god, I absolutely adore Joey! If I could just see him once in my life, I think

I could die happy!”

She leaned in closer, lowering her voice in a stage–whisper. “Actually, if possible… I wanna

marry Joey.”

Pfft!

“Cough cough..” Amelia almost choked on water, struggling to keep a straight face. “Uh,

might be kind of tough for me to marry a woman…”

“What a dream.” Emily was grinning from ear to ear, clearly amused, casting a teasing glance

at Amelia. “Amelia, you think Joey might be into her?”

Amelia stepped on his foot under the table and quickly switched topics. “Anyway, where’s

Mrs. Campbell?”

Lily shook her head. “I think she went off with Mrs. Brown.”

With time ticking, the three of them left the backstage together.

Elsewhere:

“I really wish we could sneak backstage and check out the models up close,” Chloe Hughes

said, stretching her neck as if that’d help.

Zoey Mitchell shot her a look. “Yeah, not happening. That area’s for VIPS only. Don’t waste

your energy.”

Sabrina Johnson, however, thought of someone who might just help–Patricia Collins. She

managed to get Sabrina a spot today, after all. Probably had connections here too. “Let me

try calling… I mean, I’ll ask Ethan’s mom. She might know someone.”

Chloe raised an eyebrow. “Girl, you’re dating Ethan Collins now–just say Ethan. Calling him

your ‘brother‘ still sounds way too weird. People might think you’re into i***** or something.”

had to do was wait.

Gotta snap some pics for my sister. She couldn’t make it today, so at least she gets a peek.”
