No one would have thought they'd bump into each other under these circumstances.
Crysti was still recovering from her injuries, but she didn't want to be cooped up in the hospital. There was a celebration party today where Chloe planned to officially announce her joining Starlight International, so she tagged along.
Despite being wheelchair-bound and somewhat immobile, Chloe had Miles doll her up anyway. Her gorgeous forehead was on full display, contacts replacing her usual glasses. Her beautiful features stood out even more now.
Dressed in a white dress with a thin blanket covering her legs, Miles' meticulous styling made her look completely different from before.
If she weren't sitting in a wheelchair, if it weren't for her somewhat familiar eyes, Philip wouldn't have recognized her. He would never believe that the woman before him was the same Crysti who used to follow him around.
Surprise flashed in Philip's eyes, his body stiffening slightly. Melinda, quick to notice his reaction, gritted her teeth and gave Philip a hard tug.
Crysti glanced at Philip, her gaze lingering on his arm where Melinda was holding on to him, before shifting her gaze away. She was acting colder than a stranger.
Cicely stood by, witnessing Crysti's demeanor, her eyes slightly shifting. Pretending to be strangers? A smirk tugged at her lips before her face turned serious again.
"Let's go in," she said nonchalantly. Her assistant pushed Crysti past Philip, with Cicely following behind calmly.
From the same elevator they came out of, two more people emerged.
The man was tall and handsome with a solemn face, and the woman was stunning, resembling a goddess.

Philip's gaze followed Crysti, even after they had long left, he couldn't take his eyes off her. Seeing this, Melinda was boiling with rage!
Upon entering the hotel, they were met with sneers and mockery. Now seeing Crysti, who appeared to be a completely different person, rendered Philip speechless.
Everyone’s attitude towards her changed overnight, even Philip. It was all because of her shameless father!
Crysti purposefully dolled herself up today, just to rub it in her face!
Despite the sudden turn of events, how could she have accepted it so quickly? From heaven to hell, and now the only person she could rely on, Philip, was acting this way! Even though Philip eventually composed himself, Melinda was still fuming.
Upon seeing Crysti at the banquet hall, all the artists who used to follow her were now swarming around her.
"Crysti, congratulations on signing with Starlight International."
