“Good day, miss. Taken by this princess’ frock? It’s a custom design by our boss.”
“Really?” “Of course. Our store carries many original designs. Please come in and have a look.”
A promoter in the children’s apparel store that Sasha had been ogling came out to entice a prospective customer.
The pastel-pink dress that Sasha had been eyeing was gorgeous, featuring a pair of butterfly wings. It would instantly transform any young girl into a fairy princess.
Sasha imagined how her daughter would look in the dress. Excitedly, she entered the store.
About ten minutes later, she came out with the dress and two sets of boys’ apparel in the latest fashion.
These are their birthday presents then!
In a significantly greater mood, Sasha began to feel her stomach rumbling with hunger. She decided to grab a bite at a restaurant.
“What? This Astorian dude is the man who rejected you? What’s up with his taste? How could he scoff at the Benson family’s heiress?”
“That’s enough. I just feel lucky that I never got involved with him.”
Sasha had picked a rather expensive restaurant. Once she sat down, she overheard two elegant and young foreign ladies gossiping to her right.
Gossip was not Sasha’s cup of tea. Instead, she looked through the menu and ordered immediately. “I’ll have these two, please. Thank you.”
“Alright. Please wait a moment, miss.”
The waiter left quickly with the menu.
Bored, Sasha whipped out her phone to check if she had received any calls or WhatsApp messages.
Before she could even unlock her screen, the two ladies to her right launched into another impassioned discussion.
“Yeah, you’re totally right. You could’ve been in trouble by association after what went down today. Still, isn’t the Hayes Corporation pretty huge? They wouldn’t be at this global summit otherwise, right? They seem pretty careless about how they choose their CEO.”
“Who knows? Maybe they’re digging their own grave.”
The Benson heiress cackled evilly after the words left her mouth.
Sasha’s fingers, on the other hand, paused.
The mention of Hayes Corporation was a shock.
Finally, she turned her gaze to the two ladies and asked, “Excuse me, did you mention the Hayes Corporation just now? What happened to it?”
The ladies turned to stare at her, looking rather displeased.
