A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 256

Raven quickly shook her head, looking a bit bewildered. "I don't know? Maybe it's from a morning appointment. I wasn't here at that time, so I don't know who answered the call!"

Reese glanced at Molly, who was struggling to hide her smirk, and immediately understood.

Molly seemed to have tried tricking Mariel and then explain the situation. However, she didn't expect her target to be so quick-witted.

Reese couldn't help but gloat at her situation.

Molly's expression changed repeatedly upon realizing she had been outwitted, and she heard giggles from the design department.

She couldn't bear the embarrassment and turned back toward Reese, her voice resentful, "Reese, I answered the call for you this morning. A client is here. Why don't you attend to them?"

Reese curled her lips and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, really? Thanks then!"

Molly's face twisted in frustration. She glared at Reese and returned to her seat.

Reese stood up and walked over to Mariel with a smile.

Mariel was taken aback, staring at Reese's face with changing expressions.

Never in her wildest dreams had she thought that Lukas's companion from last night was none other than Reese.

She had just mentioned that she was there to meet Reese for a design, only to be caught off guard. She was now afraid of being ridiculed!

Her face turned cold, and she glared at Reese with a stern expression.

Reese, knowing that Mariel was probably annoyed, spoke with a cheerful smile, "Shall we go to the meeting room?"

Mariel stared at Reese, her eyes narrowing as she contemplated the situation. She then turned and walked towards the meeting room.

Once inside, Mariel turned to Reese, her face grumpy and her tone sharp, "So, you're Reese?"

Reese nodded, "That's me!"

Mariel huffed in disbelief, "I thought you had no idea who Lukas's companion was, but it turns out you were the one pulled out from some corner!"

Mariel placed the design drafts on the table, "I've decided. I'm getting engaged soon, and I want to customize some jewelry for myself. Show me your designs. As long as they look good, it's fine. I don't have many requirements!"

Reese raised an eyebrow, "That is your only requirement?"

Mariel's eyes flickered, "Yes, just this one requirement. If I have more later, I'll explain them to you."

Reese nodded, and the two of them quickly signed the contract.

Mariel was quite witty herself. She used the contract to fan the air a couple of times and couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems like I'm spending money to buy boredom today!"

Reese was amused and puzzled, "But isn't this about customizing private jewelry? How is boredom related to that?"

Mariel's face was radiant, a bit flamboyant. She pouted, "Looking at your face is just boring. So yes, boredom is related!"

Reese was utterly defeated. This forced explanation left her speechless!
