Chapter 115 

Finished 

James vividly recalled the first time he met Mia. Before that encounter, he had already heard plenty about her from Parker. But truthfully, he wasn’t particularly interested. She was just another name, another person in the vast sea of Parker’s acquaintances. 

However, the moment he actually met her, everything changed. There was something about Mia that immediately captured his attention. It was like being drawn to a flame–irresistible, magnetic, and all- consuming. 

What fascinated him the most was her fiery personality. He loved the way her face lit up in irritation whenever he teased her or the sharp, fierce glint in her eyes when she yelled at him. But what truly melted his heart was her blush. That delicate, rosy flush on her cheeks whenever he said something cheeky was nothing short of enchanting. 

James had been in relationships before, but nothing compared to what he felt for Mia. With her, everything seemed brighter, as if the entire world revolved around her presence. He didn’t know when it happened, but somewhere along the way, he realized she wasn’t just someone he liked–she was the one he loved. 

For the longest time, James kept his feelings to himself. He didn’t want to rush things or scare her away. But after that night, everything changed. Even now, he wasn’t entirely sure how it all unfolded, but he was grateful for it because it brought them closer than ever. 

It all started at a party Parker hosted to celebrate the success of his entertainment business. That evening, James drank far more than he should have, and the details of what happened became blurry. But the next morning, he woke up to find Mia sleeping beside him. 

From that day on, James made it his mission to stay close to her. He wanted to be there for her, to protect her, and to find a way into her heart. And now, she had finally given him a chance–a chance he was determined to make count. James vowed to do everything he could to prove his love to her and win her over completely. 

The next morning, Lily dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit: white jeans paired with a pink floral top. She tied her hair into a loose, messy ponytail and grabbed her purse. Ethan, as always, insisted on dropping her off. 

Before leaving, he held her close and kissed her thoroughly, as if to make sure she wouldn’t forget him for even a second. “I’ll see you later,” he said with a grin, his mood noticeably lifted as he drove off. 

Lily entered the coffee shop they had agreed upon and immediately spotted Mira seated at a corner table. She walked over with a polite smile. “Hello, Miss Mira. I’m Lily,” she said warmly. 

Mira returned the smile, gesturing for her to sit. “Miss Lily, please have a seat.” 

A waitress soon arrived to take their orders. As they waited for their drinks, Lily took a moment to study the woman sitting across from her. 

Mira, Leon’s fiancée, had a natural elegance about her. Her beauty wasn’t loud or ostentatious, but it carried a quiet grace that made her stand out. There was something serene in her demeanor, as though she was entirely confident in herself and her place in the world. 

The conversation between the two women began on a cordial note, but Lily couldn’t help but wonder what lay beneath the surface. What kind of person was Mira, really? And how much did she know about Leon’s involvement in everything that had been unfolding? 

“Leon mentioned that vou wanted to meet me?” Lily asked. her tone polite vet curious.

Mira offered a warm, professional smile and nodded, “That’s correct, Miss Lily. I’m not one for beating around the bush, so I’ll get straight to the point. Would you be interested in partnering with me for a business venture?” 

Lily blinked, slightly taken aback. “A business venture?” she echoed, unsure where this was going. 

Mira chuckled softly, sensing her surprise. “Yes. You see, I know that you’re LX, Miss Lily. I’ve admired your designs for a long time, and I was wondering if you’d be interested in collaborating with me.” 

Lily’s eyes narrowed slightly, a mix of surprise and intrigue flashing across her face. “You know that I’m LX?” she asked. While she had anticipated the possibility of Mira wanting to discuss LX, she hadn’t expected her to deduce her identity so accurately. 

Mira nodded confidently. “It was mostly an educated guess,” she admitted. “But now that you’ve confirmed it, I’m glad I was right. You’ve been the only person seen wearing LX’s designs publicly, and each time, it created an undeniable buzz. Your designs are distinct–unique, captivating. They caught my attention immediately.” 

She leaned forward slightly, her voice softening as she continued, “I became curious, so I did some research. While LX has kept a low profile, the patterns and connections pointed back to you. It wasn’t easy, but eventually, everything lined up.” 

Lily nodded slowly, genuinely impressed. “That’s quite resourceful of you,” she said with a faint smile. Her mind briefly wandered to her past life, where her LX brand had been taken over by Rose, stripping her of the creative control she had once cherished. 

“So, what do you think of my proposal?” Mira asked, her composed exterior betraying none of the nervousness she felt inside. While she appeared calm, her heart was racing. Ever since she discovered LX’s identity, she had been determined to approach Lily and convince her to collaborate. Mira had been deeply moved by LX’s designs and felt compelled to create something extraordinary together. 

After a moment’s consideration, Lily smiled. “I’d love to work with you, Miss Mira,” she replied, sealing the partnership.
