Chapter 158
Oh, this is epic.
“Badass Remington’s handiwork? Yolanda asked
Lizetta nodded, “Seems like it.”
Only Remington could clean up this mess so thoroughly
Yolanda clicked her tongue, “What’s with Badass Remington? Is Miss Goody Two–Shoes about to blow a gasket? This pair of lovebirds sure has a werd vibe. They havent ted the knot yet they’re already out of sync?”
Lizetta just gave a faint smile, she wasnt surprised
“Remington’s always been low–key Just cause he pulls the hot search doesn’t mean he’s got beef with Evelina. We’re not officially divorced yet. Maybe he doesn’t want Evelina to be thrust into the spotlight too soon and took flak as the other woman Could be he s protecting Evelina”
Lizetta’s analysis was on point, no tears, no heartache
Yolanda didn’t know whether to feel happy for her or sorry
It just hit her right in the feels
She waved it off, “Enough about the jerk and his mistress. I’m gonna go ship you and Lucian to cleanse my palate. Badass Remington wouldn’t pull your hot search too, would he??
Seeing that the hot search on Lizetta and Lucian was still going strong, even climbing the ranks, Yolanda
said.
“This hot search is like hinting Badass Remington is a cuckold, shielding our side!”
Lizetta’s gaze drifted, with a moment of tranquility in her eyes
Since Remington had removed his and Evelina’s hot search, he surely knew about her and Lucian’s buzz.
The fact that he ignored it clearly showed he had let go, not seeing her as Mrs. Dashiell anymore.
Which was just fine.
“Liz? you hear me?”
Yolanda’s voice snapped Lizetta out of her reverie.
“Huh?
“I said haters gonna hate. Look at this, they’re mocking you, saying you’re not even in Lucian’s league.”
Seeing Yolanda’s face flush with irritation, Lizetta chuckled and ruffled her hair.
“Don’t be silly, Lucian and I aren’t an item. This whole ‘not worthy thing is nonsense. Why bother with them?” “That’s not the point! I can’t stand anyone talking smack about you! And there’s this one person posing as a dance connoisseur, who mentioned world–class dance master Dories arriving in Zion City this afternoon and called her the elusive gem of our country’s dance scene.
Yolanda excitedly pulled Lizetta, “You’re meeting Master Dories at the airport this afternoon, right? Conta on, let’s pear up to slap those haters in the facer
Master Dories was coming to the country with her legendary ballet troupe for a world tour hot in Zion C
Chapter 158
but at the Sea City Art Center.
She would only be in Zion City for half a day to meet a few local dancers.
It was a tight schedule, but Dories agreed to meet Lizetta during her downtime.
Lizetta had arranged with Dories’s assistant Anna to pick her up from the airport and accompany her back to the hotel.
After picking up the flowers she had ordered, Lizetta was almost at the airport when Lucian’s call came through.
“Litchi, I just got out of a three–hour sim training and caught wind of the hot search. Already had my assistant handle it. You good?”
