In an attempt to stop thinking about Ronan and Lillian, Lucien worked hard at the art gallery. He not only gave precious feedback to the gallery staff but was also actively involved in doing some of the work himself.

Every day he found new things to do. He also gained solace from interacting with visitors and art critics that came from time to time to admire the fascinating display.

The young artist was also greatly admired by the gallery interns, particularly the female ones. They often came to him to discuss their own projects, seeking precious constructive critics to enhance their skills.

After three days had passed, Alice Clearwater had to go back home. She extracted a promise from Lucien to always reply to her messages and phone calls. Otherwise, so she threatened, she would come to pester him again.

On the fourth day, lacking the motivation to cook for himself, Lucien decided to eat lunch at the gallery bistro. It was managed by the gallery directly, serving fresh sandwiches and baked goods every day.

Lucien grabbed himself a cup of milk tea and a plate of ham and cheese sandwiches. He had just taken a seat at a table next to the small garden when three female interns with bright, expectant eyes came with their trays to join him. They were Lily Brenston, Neena Evans, and Helene Bradford. These three young women were the best of friends. They were rarely seen without the company of the others.

“Mr. Clearwater, can we join you for lunch???” Lily asked excitedly.

“Sure,” Lucien answered with a smile. “Do take a seat.”

.....

All three of them shrieked with joy.

While they were in the middle of enjoying their lunch, Lily took out a magazine and put it in the middle of the table.

“Look, look! I managed to snatch the limited Christmas edition of Glamvision!” The young woman proudly announced.

It was still wrapped in a thin plastic bag, fresh from the stall.

A round of oohs and aahs went around the table.

“Ooh, isn’t this the posh magazine for rich people?”

Helene rubbed at the glossy cover and exclaimed, “I so want to know what rich people eat on Christmas!”

But when Lucien looked at the magazine, what piqued his attention was not the “Latest Christmas Cookies Recipe From All Over The World” but Lillian Woodland’s smiling face across the cover along with the words “Pregnant With The Silverback Corporation CEO’s Child – Secret No More”.

The girls fawned over the magazine. As they pored through the pages, naturally they also landed on the article with Lillian Woodland as the main character.

“Wow,” Neena gushed. “Look at her. So gorgeous.”

“I don’t like her, she’s a snob,” Lily wrinkled her nose.

“Snobbish she might be, but she is so so lucky to win the love of a prince charming!!!” Helene exclaimed.

“What prince charming? This CEO might be an old, baldy guy. It must be why he isn’t featured next to her.”

“No, no, no,” Helene wagged her finger at Lily. “Check out his latest picture on the web. This is the CEO of the Silverback Corporation, Mr. Ronan Silverback.”

The three women stuck their heads together and peered into Helene’s phone screen.

“Oh, God.”

“So handsome.”

“I want to marry him!!!”

Lucien sipped at his cup of tea and listened quietly to their chatter.

The article began with an introduction of Lillian Woodland as the daughter of the tycoon Conrad Woodland. Her twenty-five years of life were summarized in a succinct and precise manner, flaunting her status as a wealthy heiress who wanted for nothing.

Rich girls like Lillian Woodland were fated to marry rich men and be pampered in luxury until death. She carried her baby like some sort of a trophy, a proof that she fulfilled the expectation of every other girl who was not fortunate enough to walk the same path.

Following the summary was an interview between Glamvision and the aforementioned Alpha’s daughter.

Lillian narrated a cute story about how the two of them met after being introduced by their families. A rich young woman and a rich young entrepreneur. They allegedly hit it off right away, falling in love with each other inevitably after only a few weeks of dating.

Although both families supported their relationship, they were asked to keep it a secret for the time being.

Alas, consumed by their burning passion for each other, they were unable to wait for the wedding to happen. Thus the baby in her belly.

When asked about their future plans, Lillian said that she was not in a rush. She wanted to focus on their child first. Marriage could come later. It was up to Ronan to decide their wedding date.

By the end of the article, all three young women already fell for Lillian Woodland and her amazing love life.

“Why can’t I get such a handsome hunk too???” Lily wailed in distress.

“Maybe you still have a chance,” Neena teased her. “Don’t you know? This art gallery was built by the Silverback Corporation.”

Both Lily and Helene made big eyes after hearing Neena’s words.

“No way!”

“Really???”

“Yes, I heard from Mr. Greenwood yesterday. He met Mr. Ronan Silverback personally during the opening. He was so, so, so handsome.”

A soft ding sound on Helene’s phone notified her of the latest hot news in the celebrity world. Once she saw what it was, she could not help but shriek loudly.

“What is it???” Lily and Neena asked at the same time.

Helene flashed them all the content on her phone screen.

Lillian just posted a photo on her social media account. The beautiful woman was sniffing into a bouquet of a hundred red roses.

The photo bore the caption “Thank you, my sweetheart for the roses. They are as beautiful as your love for me.”
