Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 883

Anya hopped out of the cab and dashed into her bedroom, rummaging through her closet for her fanciest jewelry and designer bags.

Noticing the door was open, Naomi popped her head in, "Anya, what's up? What are you looking for?"

Anya, looking a bit downcast, replied, "Aunt Naomi, I was searching for my priciest jewelry, but I realized I left it all at my place."

Naomi, a bit puzzled, asked, "I've got some. What's the occasion?"

"I'm picking Chad up from work. I need to look like a million bucks so everyone knows Chad's girlfriend is not only rich but drop-dead gorgeous."

Naomi was surprised since Anya wasn't one to show off her wealth. Closing the door behind her, Naomi said, "Spill it, Anya. What's going on? Maybe I can help."

Anya, with a playful pout, said, "Chad hasn't said anything, but I have a hunch someone's trying to steal my thunder~"

Naomi perked up, "Alright then! Let's doll you up!"

Naomi got to work, confident that no one could challenge Anya's spot. Anya was the daughter-in-law Naomi had always dreamed of!

With Naomi's help, Anya was already ahead before even stepping into the game. By six, she was stationed on Chad's usual route home.

That day, Chad was leaving work with his colleagues Vincent and Lee.

Chad had stirred up the company's dynamics the previous day, and now everyone was gossiping about Lee and Vincent's daughters. Vincent was well aware Chad orchestrated this. Plus, rumors were swirling about Chad's stunning girlfriend, who had boldly kissed him at the office entrance the previous day.

Chad invited them to dinner, teasing Lee, "Sean, come along. You're Vincent's right-hand man. If you don't join us, I might just steal your spot in Vincent's good books."

Lee, anxious about his standing, was eager to maintain his position, which was crucial for his career.
