Chapter 16 – Do you know her?
The day went exceedingly well for Vivian, despite it being the grand opening of her competitor.
However, in the depths of the internet, a small titbit had gone viral.
“Does Miss Vivian know the founder of L&L Design?”
“All designers know each other professionally.”
“Founder of L&L is the winner of the annual Fashion week for the last 5 years, there is no way the insiders don’t know who she is.”
“Did you say ‘she’? Does that mean it’s a girl?”
“Indeed Miss Vivian is too principled to reveal others’ secrets, she sure knows the founder of L&L Design.”
“I bet both the women are best of friends given the similar age.”
Between hundreds of thousands of comments and threads, these stood out though not by much.
And soon enough by mid-afternoon, everyone was convinced that Vivian knew the founder of L&L Design and they were on good terms.
It became a viral topic, and the social media of Vivian’s boutique were flooded with questions.
Vivian felt it would be too embarrassing for her to deny it.
She posted a comment saying they were not that close to claiming friendship, just professional acquaintances.
Liliana clicked her tongue seeing that. After all these years, Vivian was still the same. She could be provoked so easily.
It was a child’s play for Liliana to lead her into her trap.
She called Jonathan and asked if he had some time in the next few hours as a friend of hers had something important to discuss regarding the cooperation.
Jonathan told her that he was free after an hour and a half. Though he was confused why someone else was visiting him instead of her since he could not think of anything else that was left to discuss. But he was too busy to ask further.
Jennifer Cox was the nurse Liliana had met seven years ago when she was forced by Lester to draw blood for Lydia.
The nurse had realized that she was pregnant, and things were not as they seemed.
So, she had slowed down the transfusion very meticulously.
After that, she switched the empty bag with the blood bag in storage and helped her without asking anything.
When she tried to talk to her, she scolded her sternly and loudly making sure Lester would not suspect her and there was no evidence.
Shortly after Vincent had come and stopped the entire thing. She had barely drawn 50cc blood.
Liliana had someone dig up on Jennifer and sponsored her after knowing she was an overall kind person who helped people in need without claiming credit.
They had become good friends after Jennifer moved to Maple city to further her studies, and eventually became Henry’s most trusted nurse and right hand.
Jennifer sashayed inside Smith Group just as the tea break was over. Thus a lot of people saw Vincent personally escorting her as she lowered her head and blushed.
A receptionist had overheard them saying L&L Design, so everyone assumed that the well-maintained mousy woman was the founder of L&L Design.
The news spread like wildfire. Vivian, who had bribed a few people in the Smith Group to spy on Jonathan, thought it was the best day of her life.
