Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 10

The next day at noon, Nita invited Effie to lunch at Elliott's Cozy Room, worried that Effie might not be coping well.

Elliott's Cozy Room was nestled in a bustling part of downtown, prime real estate surrounded by lush gardens—a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city's chaos.

Halfway through the meal, Effie excused herself to the restroom, only to unexpectedly find Suzan standing in front of the mirror, touching up her makeup.

Suzan was dressed in a flowing Valentino dress, her makeup flawless, every inch a picture of delicate charm and innocent beauty.

Catching Effie's reflection in the mirror, Suzan pressed her red lips together, then smiled slyly. "What a coincidence, Effie!"

Effie hadn't expected to run into her nemesis here of all places. Just her luck. Suzan was like a stubborn stain-impossible to get rid of no matter where she went.
