The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 579

Even with the baseball cap and mask, Crystal still recognized her?

Suzie preferred a quiet, uncomplicated life and had no desire to mingle with too many people, but since Crystal had already spotted her, she couldn't exactly play dumb.

Giving a slight nod, Suzie scanned her items, paid, and turned to leave. But Crystal fell into step right beside her.

"Well, look at that. We really do keep crossing paths," Crystal said, glancing around. "Are you here with friends?"

"Yes, a few friends," Suzie replied vaguely.

"You don't talk much, do you? Quite the introvert." Crystal stopped walking and held out her hand. "Let's formally introduce ourselves again. I'm Crystal Solomon. Renowned photographer."

Suzie looked at the overly charming smile plastered on Crystal's face and felt an instant wave of discomfort. It reminded her of the two-faced corporate sharks she used to deal with.

Still, Suzie kept it professional and shook her hand.

Crystal didn't miss a beat. "At that banquet, I assumed you were just Jamie Baylor's plus-one. But the entire industry has been talking about the massive gift he sent to your studio on opening day."

Crystal's eyes swept over Suzie as she spoke. No one knew the burning jealousy that had consumed her when she saw the viral clips online of Jamie's extravagant gesture.

Jamie had flat-out rejected funding her studio, yet he was bending over backward for Suzie's.
