A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 301

Mariel became even more puzzled, "Hot? It's so cold with the air conditioning, and you're still feeling hot?"

Reese was embarrassed and speechless, "Just shut up. Do you have anything else to say?"

Between her and Mariel, they seemed to have grown a bit closer, becoming instantly familiar, naturally transforming into friends. Their casual and natural interactions carried no discomfort whatsoever.

Friendship between women was intense, swift, much like love itself. It left no traces until suddenly realized, and by then, that person had already claimed a place in her heart.

Mariel pouted, poured herself a glass of water, and sat next to her, "It's nothing major, just wanted to talk to you. Those custom-made jewels of mine - feel free to design them however you want. I'll love them regardless of how they turn out, as long as it's your design!"

Reese stared at her as if she were a fool, remaining silent.

Mariel had spent money, and she wouldn't let that go to waste.

Unconcerned by her gaze, Mariel continued, "Of course, the main reason I came today was to share the joy of breaking off my engagement. Oh, and my elder brother made a move - that Anika Styles got suppressed, ensuring she won't cause trouble anymore!"

Reese took a sip of her coffee, "When looking for a man in the future, use your brain, keep your eyes sharp, and don't end up with a scumbag like Walter Simmons!"

Mariel suddenly chuckled with a hint of flirtation, "So you mean I should go for someone like Lukas Strakovski?"

Hearing this, a flustered expression crossed Reese's face. She quickly glanced around, realizing there was no one nearby, and lowered her voice, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't mention our relationship at work, and by the way, we're not what you're thinking!"

Mariel pouted, "Alright, I won't say anything! Don't worry, I can keep a secret!"

Reese glanced at her and chuckled, "I really couldn't tell!"

Mariel playfully winked at her, grinning broadly, "These things aren't obvious to the naked eye. You'll have to observe carefully in the future!"

Reese shook her head with exasperation, "Enough teasing, I need to work. You should head home!"

Mariel was a wealthy young lady without a job, her daily tasks consisting of shopping, attending fashion exhibitions, and social gatherings.

Reese furrowed her brows, lowered her head, and focused on her design sketch.

Molly stood up abruptly, knocking her chair into a nearby desk with a loud noise, venting her frustration as if unleashing her displeasure.

After she left, Chloe quickly followed her.

Meanwhile, Mariel exited the restroom after a moment, her hand freezing in place upon hearing a somewhat familiar voice.

Her hand suddenly froze in midair.

"Bitch! She's infuriating me! Who does that Reese Roberts think she is with that attitude? She's only acting so arrogantly because Director Hopkins is protecting her. She lost two orders and now has the nerve to mock me! Why is the company treating me like this? Why!"

As soon as Molly entered the restroom, she began venting her frustration with an outburst of anger.
