Victoria replied and on the other side was Ioanna Lin, the other founder of Lin Cosmetics. Currently residing in Shanghai with her husband working on another Lamont Clay Project. She was always too busy to call anyone but Victoria and Ioanna had kept a tight relationship for many years. It wasn't until this year that they stopped calling each other every other day.

'How are you? Are you sleeping well? Have you heard from Stella? How is the store goi-' Victoria interrupted Ioanna.

'I won't be able to reply to any of those questions if you ask that many. But I'm very well, I think I haven't been able to catch up to my jet lag yet because of all the late nighters. No, I haven't talked with her now. Should I? Did something happen?'

'And the store? How did it go?'

'It went well I assume, I haven't been there yet.'

'Well, no, nevermind. I can talk about it later, I actually got to go, but we'll talk soon again. Bye bye!'

'Oh, bye...'

Ioanna had already hung up before Victoria managed to say bye. Victoria knew Ioanna was busy, but this was shorter than usually.

The phone vibrated a short moment and a text message popped up. It was from Ioanna.

'OH! I CONPETLy forgot to tell you!!! i among to Seoul this summer!!!! Talk to you soon bby! '

And slightly after a new one popped up.

'I am coming to Seoul* I text too fast sometimes bye!'

Victoria laughed by herself and replied to the message. She was looking forward to meet her again. It had been 2 years since the last time they had talked in real life, and that was business only so no friendly matter. Not even after the meeting period. 'That's what marrying the Lamont Clay family means.' Victoria continued eating and left soon after to the store to welcome the new staff.
