Chapter 287
“You would think my comments were sarcastic, but if you were Ms. Sanders who said that, would you find it pleasing to your ears? Which of her compliments about me was sincere then?”
“Did Camic say something wrong?” Confused, Eric looked at me.
“She said I looked beautiful and her dress looked much better on me compared to Beverly. That is true?”
“Well, in my opinion, it’s true,” replied Eric in a matter-of-fact manner. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked you to be our exclusive model.”
Upon hearing that, I didn’t know whether to be happy or angry, but I realized that I couldn’t communicate with him at all, so I kept my mouth shut, seething with rage.
Not relenting, Eric continued, “Camie isn’t the type to speak sarcastically, so she really meant it when she complimented you. It’s true that she lies sometimes, but being in the entertainment business, she has to. Otherwise, her future won “Don’t be promising if she’s too frank. Unlike you, you’re not from the entertainment world. Why learn from them?”
With a plastered smile, I said, “Mr. Walker, you are so good at berating others. Coming from you, all reasoning makes sense, but before you scold others, you should examine yourself. As far as being a hypocrite goes, you’re no better than I am. On the surface, you acted friendly towards Dylan, but only you know what’s really on his mind.
“Did I act friendly towards Dylan?” Startled for a moment, Eric asked, “Is there conflict between Dylan and me? Why am I not
conscious?”
Not wanting to put up with him making a fool of himself, I was prepared to take my plate and leave. At that moment, Dylan and Camille appeared.
Seeing the food on my plate, Dylan was a little shocked. “Lily, since when did you change your food preference?”
Before I could say anything, Eric blurted out, “Miss Hawkins brought this for me, but I didn’t like it.”
Casting a glance at me and Eric, Camille smiled. “Since Lily isn’t too sure of her food preferences, how about I bring you some?”
“Everything is fine. I think this food will do.”
“But you really don’t like spicy food, right?” Camille asked incredulously.
“I’ll get used to it eventually.”
Hearing this, Camille seemed to be on cloud nine, and I didn’t understand why she was feeling that way. Initially, I wanted to get some food, but I had lost my appetite. Looking at Dylan, I said. “I’m not feeling very well all of a sudden.”
Taking the hint, Dylan immediately suggested, “I’ll give you a ride home.”
With a smile, Eric scoffed, “I think Ms. Hawkins not feeling too good inside? Do you need me to call in some specialists to see how you are?”
Turning a deaf ear to their teasing, I said goodbye to Camille and left with Dylan. As soon as we reach the front door, we bump into Beverly. Seeing Dylan and I together, there was a look of surprise on Beverly’s face.
In the next second, Beverly greeted Dylan with a smile, “President Newman.”
“Miss Deering.” Dylan politely smiled back.
“That’s it?” Glancing at me, Beverly smiled as she started to ask my name.
“Lilian Hawkins,” Dylan replied briefly on my behalf.

“Hello, Ms. Hawkins,” greeted Beverly as she held out her hand.
“Hello too, Ms. Deering.” I gladly shook her hand, carrying out the formalities.
With a slight smile, Dylan said, “Ms. Deering, let’s act now. See you later.”
Leaving the exhibition hall, I let out a sigh. “Finally, I smell freedom!”
“Do you want to get something to eat?” Dylan smiled as he asked me.
Just as I was about to agree to his suggestion, the phone in my purse rang. Picking up the phone, Victoria’s voice rang out. “Lily, it’s me!”
