Erica looked around for Nate. She had been missing since the argument with Anthony earlier. Just then, Nancy's boyfriend arrived with his brother. They greeted her in a friendly manner, and her mother came over, also greeting him because since long ago, Maria had been very fond of Theo who was a rich garden businessman."Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen you, Theo. How are you?" asked Maria as she shook Theo's hand. Her smile bloomed like a rose. She would love to set Erica up with Theo if she could turn back time because they looked so good together."I'm fine. How are you?" asked Theo. He smiled gently at Maria, then glanced at Erica standing next to her mother. For a long time, Theo had also secretly harbored feelings for her. But because of the news of her marriage, he no longer had the opportunity to approach her."I'm good too. You still remember Erica, right?" Maria asked."Yes, of course. How could I forget a woman as beautiful as Erica? We haven't seen each other for

Erica's eyes widened in surprise when Victoria called Nancy instead of her. She was in shock. Her hands trembled, clenching into fists. Her eyes moved uneasily as she saw Nancy grinning at her. She walked over to her. A triumphant smile that looked like it was patronizing her, mocking her. It made Erica's pride feel like it was being trampled on.Her hands clenched even tighter when Nancy was right in front of her. Smiling with satisfaction. A look that was so arrogant and haughty as it looked at her."How was it, Erica?" she asked in a mocking tone. "Are you surprised?"At this moment, Nancy was completely satisfied that she had hit her late. That right now, the one in charge was her and not Erica."You should look in the mirror and see your expression right now," Nancy laughed, "it's ridiculous and you look like a fool."Erica could not speak or utter a single word because her heart was currently broken. Destroyed by the dishonesty, and the betrayal committed by her grandmother. Thi

After a tense and heavy conversation, Nate decided to go find Erica. He must have felt horrible about what had happened at the party. Everyone had made fun of her, gossiping about how useless Erica was for losing to Nancy. And they were also surprised that Bluebell's president had canceled their deal, which, as it turned out, was because of Erica.Of course, that would make Erica's family feel sorry for not making Erica the CEO, but Nancy. And Erica was devastated by everything she heard at that moment.She ran to the restroom, alone, sobbing with the door deliberately closed so that no one could get inside. She cried while regretting all the things that had happened to her. While she had tried her best, Victoria still favored Nancy. Prioritizing Nancy as the granddaughter she loved the most.Even though she was also her granddaughter. She was the one who had worked hard to get the deal. She had also promised to make him the CEO. But her grandmother's betrayal left a deep wound in her

After Erica came out of the restroom, Victoria immediately asked her to contact Morgan and ask Morgan to change her decision. If the Bluebell company canceled their deal, the company would go bankrupt. The debts they had were piling up and she would not be able to pay them off. Everything would be destroyed in the blink of an eye. And this partnership was vital to their survival.And Victoria had opened her eyes wide and realized that Erica was the key to the company's success. Making her CEO was the right decision. That's why she wouldn't make the wrong decision again.Erica walked out of the party area into the courtyard. She planned to catch up with Morgan and see if she was still there. But Morgan had already left. She worriedly dialed Morgan's cell phone. It took a while for her to receive the call."Hello, Morgan," Erica greeted as soon as her call was connected."Miss Erica," Morgan greeted back from the other end."Morgan, is what I'm hearing right now true? That you canceled

The next morning was Erica's first day as a CEO. She was excited, nervous, and happy. Early in the morning, she was ready to go. And she has checked everything about the company. Since it was her first time holding a company as CEO, Erica had to check its income for the past few years, documents related to cooperation, and so on. She also had to take care of how much the company had lost so that she could think of ways to solve the workers' salary problems so as not to make the company even more in the woods.Although the Bluebell company had given her a lot of money, it only helped to keep the company from going bankrupt, but for everything else, there was still no solution. And as CEO, Erica would try her hardest to bring the Starry White company through all of its current crises.As she was getting ready in front of the mirror, Nate came out of the bathroom. He had just showered in the full clothes he had put on, but his hair was a little wet. He looked at Erica with his appearance
