Counterback of the Despised Luna

Chapter 25 Beneath the Eclipse

A man like him, sitting at the top of the world, probably has countless women throwing themselves at him. To him, I was just some low–level Omega.

With that in mind, all the awkward feelings from last night disappeared.

After breakfast, I headed to Eclipse Group to pass the time.

As soon as I got there, Stella called me over.

“Roseline, you’ve been here at Eclipse Group for a few days. I want you to handle the next season’s

collaboration with Lady Couture in Montagne.” She handed me a stack of documents. “These are the project. details; take a look.”

I glanced at the papers and saw nothing complicated. “Sure,” I replied casually.
