No matter how Nancy had been recently, she still looked radiant and even a little proud. In other words, she would never admit defeat in front of her love rival.
Lisa did not bother to pay her any attention and turned to leave.
However, Nancy had no intention of letting her go that easily. She blocked Lisa's path. She was going to greet Lisa. How could she let her leave so easily, especially after the last time she had been caught in an embarrassing situation by Lisa? She maintained a friendly smile and her usual gentle tone, "Sehun recently helped me set up a studio. I remember your Manoban Corporation also deals with clothing. Would you be interested in learning more about my studio?"
Could Lisa not see through Nancy's intentions? Wasn't it because she felt embarrassed when she was caught last time? But now, Nancy was holding something that was like trash to her, how could it possibly affect her? She directly replied, "What makes you think I have something to talk to you about? I'm not interested in your affairs."
Nancy continued to smile, "Lili, don't speak to me like this. After all, we've been friends for many years. I really don't want to lose you as a friend."
Lisa could not help but chuckle, "When did we become friends? Don't try to flatter yourself. I can't afford a friend like you."
Nancy appeared quite aggrieved, "Lili..." As she spoke, she discreetly observed Sehun's expression. She noticed Sehun looking calmly at Jungkook beside Lisa. How could she not understand what Sehun was thinking? But she maintained her poised smile. With Sehun's mother pressuring him step by step and meddling in the middle, Sehun was not as easy to manipulate as before. She had to be careful, very careful. She had acted impulsively in order to save face and had come to Lisa. No one understood Sehun better than she did. Now, all she could do was pray that Sehun continued to be clueless.
However, Nayun was not willing to let things continue. Seeing Nancy at a disadvantage, she abruptly changed the subject in a forced manner, "Sister Nancy, didn't my big brother say he wanted to photograph the finale gown for you tonight? In the past, when certain people shamelessly clung to my big brother, they even bought their own engagement ring..."
Tonight's business banquet was a relatively small-scale fashion show, showcasing the new designs from the Chu family. The Chu family was exclusively in the business of clothing design and had recently recruited the world-renowned fashion designer, Sandara Park. The centerpiece of the evening was the first creation by this master since joining the Chu family,
named 'rose'.
Many of the ladies and young misses attending tonight were drawn by this gown, creating intense competition.
Nancy quickly waved her hand, saying, "Sehun was just speaking casually. Such valuable clothes, I can't accept them."
"This is my elder brother's gesture. What's there to be embarrassed about? Besides, isn't it normal for a man to give a gift to a woman? Unlike some people who practically throw themselves at men and still get rejected," Nayun remarked. She had been pursued by Ten for a long time and had received gifts from him without feeling any qualms. After all, that bootlicker had proven quite useful. It was unexpected that the Manoban family's style had stooped to this level of bootlicking.
Nanct's expression softened as she said, "Nayun, your perspective on this is not quite right..."
Seeing the two echoing each other and not showing signs of stopping, Jennie rolled her eyes, exasperated. "Truly shameless, unrivaled in the world. There's no comparison. But, according to Miss Kim's tone, does it mean you two will definitely win this dress?"
Nayun nodded confidently. "Of course. No matter the price, my elder brother will acquire it for Sister Nancy."
At these words, Sehun furrowed his brow. In the car earlier, Nayun had been incessantly discussing this dress. He found it irritating, so he offhandedly mentioned he might bid on it to give it to Nancy for them to talk about later. How had Nayun interpreted it like this?
