Yuni thought that Jocelyn would not be able to guess her intentions. She was still pretending like she was on Jocelyn’s side as if she were trying to help her seek justice. Yuni gave her an earnest look and said, “Miss White, Lexie knows you like Davis, right?” Jocelyn did not expose this woman’s sinister intentions immediately. She held up her phone and tapped the screen a few times, pulling up the recording app’s interface. She glanced back at Yuni and asked, “Aren’t you rather close with Davis?”
Yuni replied hurriedly, “Oh no, you’re mistaken. We’re just friends. I don’t see him that way at
all.”
Jocelyn’s smile did not reach her eyes. “Is that so? So you’re just friends, huh? You must be really close friends then!”
Yuni chuckled and quickly returned to her previous topic. “No matter how close with are, we’re still just friends. If Davis were to get a girlfriend, I’d keep my distance immediately. However… Lexie knows that you like Davis, and yet she insists on liking him as well? Did all the other men fall off the face of the Earth? Why would she insist on snatching the man that her best friend is interested in? Isn’t she afraid of divine retribution?
Jocelyn stared at her wordlessly with a neutral expression.
Yuni pressed on. “Don’t worry, Miss White. I’m on your side. If you went head-to-head with her, I’d help you speak on your behalf. There’s a girls’ code after all! If you were interested in Davis first, as your best friend, Lexie shouldn’t have tried to snatch him up! Perhaps it’s better to cut off such a toxic and immoral friend!”
There was a mocking tone in Jocelyn’s voice as she spoke. “Aww, you must truly care about
me!” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of a toilet flushing came from the cubicle next to her.
Yuni’s expression shifted slightly. “Someone else was in here?” The edges of Jocelyn’s lips curled up into a smile. “That’s right! And it’s none other than the person who, according to you, is my best friend who is trying to steal the person I like!” Yuni’s expression changed completely. Lexie walked out of the cubicle and stared at Yuni blankly.
Jocelyn walked over to Lexie and scoffed. “Yuni, your little act of trying to sow discord between us is truly exciting. It’s just a shame that… I’m not interested in Davis, and there’s no such thing as Lexie trying to steal my boyfriend. Moreover, even if both of us liked the same guy, it’s no big deal, we’d just give up the guy. Men are like clothes, but best friends are like your brothers and sisters. I’m afraid a person like you will never understand our relationship. But it’s a pity that you’ll never get to fulfill your wish of seeing Lexie and I have a fallout!” Yuni had a displeased expression on her face. “So, you knew everything, and yet you just let me ramble on like a fool?”
Jocelyn gave her a teasing look. “Tsk… that’s not true. You were the clown who wanted to put on a little show for us, so how could I possibly stop you?” Yuni was furious. “Jocelyn, you b*tch! How dare call me a clown?”
Jocelyn snorted coldly. “You really know how to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong! You’re calling me a b*tch, but you are fully aware of who the b*tchiest person here is! Plus, if you want to talk about first come first served, Lexie has known Davis for five years. How can you compare to her? Last but not least, I’m warning you. If you want to work in Prosperity
Jewelry, don’t cause trouble for Davis ever again. If you do, I’ll send this voice recording of your little antics to him immediately, and show him just how much of a scheming b*tch you are! When that
happens, you better be prepared to deal with the consequences of your actions!” Jocelyn waved her phone at Yuni, showing her that it was still recording.
Davis was the director of Prosperity Jewelry’s design department. If he knew of Yuni’s behavior, he certainly would not let her off easily.
Yuni’s face twisted in an agitated expression. “You’re despicable, Jocelyn White.”
She pounced at Jocelyn, trying to snatch the phone out of her hand, but Jocelyn dodged nimbly. “You want to snatch my phone? You’re not good enough yet!” With that, Jocelyn dragged Lexie out of the restroom.
Even though Lexie did not talk much, it did not mean that she was a good target for bullies. If Yuni tried to do anything else, she would not forgive her that easily! Once they left the restroom, Lexie became a little worried. “You wouldn’t send that to Davis, would you?”
Jocelyn smiled and patted her hair. “Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me. If you don’t want anyone to know that you like him, I won’t tell anyone else. I’m just using this recording as a warning for Yuni!”
Lexie sighed in relief. “What happened just now… thank you, Jocelyn!” Jocelyn huffed angrily but smiled. “Silly girl! There’s no need to thank me!” They walked into the banquet hall together and found a group of jewelry designers surrounding a woman, showering her with praise. “You’ll certainly be the champion of this competition, Bella!” “I think so too. Even your uncle, who has such high standards, complimented your designs. You’ll surely be the winner!”
“Bella, don’t forget all of your good friends after you win the grand prize!”
Jocelyn glanced over at the woman and immediately recognized the person being praised. She was a designer named Bella Rothschild, and apparently, she had already won a few awards previously.
However, Jocelyn only had two words to describe her, which were “fake” and “self-centered.”
Just as she thought, after being showered with praise, Bella began putting on an act. “Aww, don’t say that. What would the other designers think? Even though my uncle is one of the judges, you shouldn’t just say such things so casually. What if someone accuses me of nepotism? Even though my uncle did praise my designs, there are so many other designers out there who are so much more talented than I am!” Bella gushed in a high-pitched tone. Her words sounded humble on the surface, but they were all said in her favor. Her chin was lifted high as if everyone else were just ants crawling beneath her feet.
There were a lot of media around. When they heard everyone’s fervent discussions, they turned their cameras to Bella’s face, snapping pictures and filming her.
After all, this person might be the winner of today’s competition for all they knew!
If they took more photos now, all they had to do was write a few more words after, and their job would be done!
Jocelyn stood at the side, opting not to participate in their discussion. However, even though she did not seek trouble, trouble had a way of finding her. Bella’s eyes fell upon her, and she immediately sauntered over. “My, my, isn’t it Designer White?”
