The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

“Well… Thank you.” Janet ran the tip of her finger along the rim of her mug before taking a sip of coffee. Her lips were upturned ever so slightly. She thought that Ethan had only said it to give her some comfort, though, so she decided not to take his words seriously.

When they had returned from Color Company last time, Tiffany had proceeded to choose another designer’s drafts for submission.

The next day, Tiffany called for a meeting and made the announcement. “Color Company has approved the drafts of another designer. Good job everyone. You’ve been working hard, so coffee and desserts are on me. Order whatever you like. Also, another conference will be held tomorrow, and a representative from Color Company will be coming to discuss the detailed plans for this project. You are all required to attend. Make sure you come on time.”
