A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

Reese looked at Lukas and pursed her lips tightly.

A moment later, she turned to look at Elena, "Ms. Schmidt, may I ask why you thought of hiring me for the design, given our not-so-pleasant encounter at Madame Harris' birthday banquet before?

When Elena heard this, her face stiffened for a moment, but she then burst into laughter. "Oh, Ms. Roberts, how can you say that? That was just a minor thing. I was just in the heat of the moment, and I didn't think much of it at all. I may not be able to choose the words to say at that time, but that's all in the past. I'd forgotten about it completely until you brought it up."

"Besides, I truly admire the jewelry you designed for Ms. Ella Rhodes, and I would be glad to have you design a piece for me. I also want to support Strakovski Jewelry by sending some business your way. Rest assured, I don't hold any grudges," Elena said, trying to appear innocent and generous.

Reese frowned and responded, "Ms. Schmidt, you're overthinking it. I didn't feel like I suffered any harm during that incident, so I can't say I hold a grudge against you."

Elena couldn't help but recall the embarrassing moment when she was splashed with red wine, and her smile almost faltered.

She forced a stiff smile, "I'm glad to hear that you don't hold a grudge."

Reese continued, "If you want me to design custom jewelry for you, I'm willing to consider it. But let me be clear, in front of Mr. Strakovski and Mr. Schmidt, I must explain that if I can't meet your expectations, we'll peacefully terminate the contract without causing trouble for each other."

Elena felt a rush of anger but maintained a smile, trying to appear generous in front of Lukas. "Of course, I'll go along with whatever Ms. Roberts decides."

Meanwhile, Elias watched the exchange between Elena and Reese, finding the rivalry between the two women quite amusing.
