Lizetta Gardenia opened the text message and read its content.
"Congratulations on your new job! I've prepared a little something for you, it should be arriving any moment now. Enjoy your first day."
The fact that Remington Dashiell knew about her joining Madden Media so quickly didn't surprise her. In Zion City, Rem seemed to have eyes and ears everywhere.
"Lizetta Madden, there's a delivery for you."
Lost in thought, Lizetta was brought back to the present by the sound of footsteps and a young woman's voice behind her.
Turning around, she saw the receptionist carrying a large cardboard box towards her. Lizetta quickly reached out to take it, placing it on the table with a word of thanks.
However, the receptionist, Snow, lingered, leaning in with curiosity.
"The guy who dropped this off was in a suit. Who is he to you? What's in such a big box? Need some help with it?"
Her face was lit with a sweet smile, her eyes brimming with curiosity, her demeanor friendly and enthusiastic.
Lizetta thanked her again, declining the offer, but Snow insisted on helping.
As Lizetta opened the box, she worried about what extravagant item Remington might have sent. However, the contents left her momentarily stunned.
Inside were all sorts of common, yet useful items.
There was a soft throw pillow, a beautiful desk ornament, a calendar, a small mirror, a rechargeable hand warmer, a tiny vase, a coffee mug, a mouse pad...
A plethora of useful items, even including a pair of soft slippers at the bottom.
"Wow, how pretty and cute! Lizetta, is the sender your boyfriend by any chance? This is just too thoughtful. And look, there's even a bunch of roses."
Snow's voice was filled with envy, drawing the attention of two other young female coworkers.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
