Chapter 15 – Game on
A few days later a sensation broke out in P city.
Smith Group had partnered with L&L Designs.
L&L Designs was a sophisticated luxury brand in Maple city that had spread around the world in the past but they had refused to enter P city.
Many big brands were trying to collaborate with them but had failed.
The netizens and the socialites in the P city went crazy.
No one had seen the mystery founder and designer behind L&L Designs. Everyone wondered how Smith Group managed to get the partnership.
L&L Designs had always had its own studio and had never cooperated with anyone before.
This time around, they ventured to open a branch in the central mall owned by Smith Group.
Vivian went blue reading the news. She was supposed to be Jonathan’s girlfriend, but he had mercilessly rejected her proposal to open her boutique in one of Smith Group Malls.
Now he signed up her competitor in such a high-profile manner. It was a slap in the face.
Even worse she heard it from the news and was totally unprepared for it.
She had been trying to uncover the mystery founder behind L&L Designs. But all her efforts had come short.
As soon as Vivian arrived at her boutique, she was swarmed by reporters.
She was tactful and acted like the news did not affect her at all.
She pretended to have known about it before and went on about not mixing business with pleasure.
She even said that Jonathan had insisted that she open her boutique in his mall, but she had declined to separate her private matters from professional goals.
The internet painted a nice picture of the perfect modern girlfriend from her answers.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
She started trending after L&L Designs, Mystery founder, and the collaboration.
Even though she was behind the top 3 trending topics it was good publicity for Vivian, not to mention free.
Jonathan saw that as well. He hated being taken advantage of and wanted to refute her and suppress the news immediately.
But remembering what he had promised Liliana, he called her first.
“Don’t meddle on it,” She replied nonchalantly.
“I don’t like being taken advantage of,” He said sulkily.
“Really? What were the last four years?” She huffed.
“Hit it where it hurts. I pity your enemies,” He remarked, mildly irritated.
“Sorry, it just slipped out. Get your popcorn and watch the show. Because it’s Game on,” She said in a soft silky voice but it sent shivers down his spine.
She hung up without waiting for his reply. He could hear Jo asking for something in the background.
He wondered about their father again. How could he be stupid enough to abandon his wife and kids, not to mention a woman like Liliana?
