Just as she was about to send it, Nancy peered over.


    “Who’s got you so focused? I’ve been trying to get your attention.


    ”


    Lindsey showed her the phone screen, and Nancy eximed, reading the name, “Carole Larson… the judge from Star Search?”


    Lindsey nodded in agreement.


    “Yeah, but we’re not really close; we’ve only had a brief chat or two.


    ”


    Nancy let out a huff, “Not close, and she still invites you? Sounds like she’s just trying to show off, probably married into money.


    ”


    Lindsey offered a different perspective.


    “I wouldn’t say that about her.


    She’s always seemed fair and straightforward in her opinions in the show.


    Plus, she’s rted to Domenic, even if it’s just as a distant rtive.


    Though, it doesn’t seem like he is all that close to her either.


    ”


    Nancy, unimpressed, pulled her towards a women’s clothing store.


    “Let’s get you something fabulous to wear.


    You’re going to be the highlight of that engagement party!”


    Lindsey was bewildered by Nancy’s leap in logic.


    “There’s no need to go overboard; it’s her day, not mine.


    I shouldn’t steal the spotlight.


    ”


    “You’re missing the point! She’s rted to Domenic; his family will be there.


    Even if they don’t know you now, you and Domenic are bound to be seen together sooner orter.


    You have to leave a good impression on them.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Imagine if someone remembers you looking less than your best?”


    Nancy’s argument made Lindsey reconsider.


    She didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Domenic’s family.


    Seeing the sense in Nancy’s argument, Lindsey relented.


    “Alright, let’s check it out.


    ”


    The array of clothing in the women’s section was daunting to Lindsey, but Nancy moved through the racks with ease, picking out clothes with a keen eye.


    “Look at this one, it’s perfect… Hmm… This one would really bring out your skin tone… And you have to try this one, it’ll show off your shape beautifully!”


    After trying on many outfits, Lindsey was exhausted, while Nancy, full of energy, held a bunch of clothes without any sign of fatigue.


    Lindsey checked her phone.


    There were no new messages.


    Nancy noticed Lindsey’s focus on her phone and said, “Didn’t we agree to take a break for half the day? Forget about work.


    We can talk about it tomorrow.


    ”


    Lindsey let out a sigh.


    “The production team suddenly apologized.


    I wanted to thank Mr.


    Howard from Vitality Entertainment.


    I tried to see him at his office, but he wasn’t there, and he hasn’t responded to my texts.


    ”


    Nancy put her arm around Lindsey’s shoulder and said, “Ourpany is working with Vitality Entertainment right now.


    It makes sense for him to help us.


    Plus, he’s the head of a bigpany.


    This is probably no big deal for him.


    You’ve done your part by sending the message.


    He’ll get it eventually.


    Maybe he’s just too busy to get back to you right now.


    Don’t worry about it too much.


    ”


    Lindsey thought about it and felt better right away.


    In the executive office of the Vitality Group, Emilio built up his courage for a moment before knocking softly on the door and walking in.


    The office wasrge, with big windows, and Domenic was standing by the window, looking out.


    Emilio moved closer, slowly.


    He had sent in his resignation a few days ago but hadn’t heard back.


    He had been feeling sorry for himself at home until Domenic personally called him to the office today.


    Emilio stopped a short distance from Domenic and looked down, feeling nervous.


    Then, he straightened up and asked, “What’s the decision about my resignation?”


    Domenic turned to look at him.


    After a tense ten seconds, Emilio was on edge.


    “I know what’s going on,” Domenic finally said, making Emilio shiver.
