The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

One day, Ayla was sitting in her office, continuously revising her designs.This week, she was really too busy to do anything else.

She had sewn dozens of clothes herself.She only had a few hours of rest every day.

The only good thing was that Brian had gone on a business trip, so she could at least have some free time.

Linda walked in and saw the clothes on the mannequins.

"Ayla, are you an idiot or something? Mr.Clark isn't here to look at what you've done! You don't have to do any of that to please him."https://novelebook.com/ 

Putting down the needle, Ayla said, "Linda, if you've got nothing better to do, just go away and stop bothering me.Whatever I want to do, let alone who I want to please, it's none of your business."

Wasn't it better if they just ignored each other? There was no need for Linda to come here just to mock her.

"Don't pretend to be oblivious of your own deviousness The only reason you have what you have now is because you climbed onto Mr.Clark's bed, didn't you? Do you think a newcomer like you, who hasn't even graduated, can be on an equal footing with someone like me?"

Linda walked to the sofa and made herself comfortable.She had been wanting to talk to Ayla to let her know her place in this company.

"I have no intention of competing with you, and I don't want anything to do with you, either.Whether Mr.Clark is the reason I have what I have today or not, I don't give a damn."

Ayla had never wanted any of these, nor did she want to stand in the limelight.

All she wanted was for people to admire the clothes she designed.

"So, you're aware of it.The fashion show, the cocktail party, and the media reports were all Mr.Clark's arrangement, and he did it all for you.Don't forget who you really are.Listen to me, you're just a nobody!"

Linda sneered before she walked out of the room.As she stared at the clothes in front of her, Ayla suddenly felt lost.

If it weren't for that woman's remark, she would've been quite confident in her own abilities.

And even though she didn't care about the reports, was true that the fashion show had positive responses.

But if Brian was the one behind all of it, what did he want? For what purpose did he do all of that? Ayla sat on the sofa, contemplating for a long time.

By the time she stood up, it was already dark outside.She didn't turn the lights on, so she couldn't see anything.

When she got up, she accidentally bumped into the table, leaving a bruise on her knee.

However, she didn't feel any pain from it.She grabbed her handbag and went downstairs.
