Over at the Huo Corps competition lodge, Serena excused herself for the ladies' room. She was annoyed seeing Yao Luli, but then imagining her face when she would be shocked by the news of her participation gave her relief.
She was excited to see her face distorted in anger and was eagerly waiting for it. Serena was washing her hands when she heard a whimper.
She furrowed her brows and turned to look. The voice had co from one of the stalls. She went closer, and to her shock, she could hear two people panting and moaning.
"Oh, Gosh! Sex in a bathroom stall!' She rolled her eyes. 'Can they not find a freaking room?'
Then she heard a familiar voice. "AhB-bosss-slowly pleaseAhhnnnn! Too fast"
She was stunned.
Yao Luli? And with the boss?
'Ahso she must have seduced him to get the chance to participate.' And based on how Gong Hong behaved with Serena that day, it wasn't completely impossible.
She shrugged. She didn't care who she sleeps with. 'Forget it. This competition is to judge the skills in designing, not the skills in sucking a d*ck.'
She didn't want to witness their disgusting sex and quickly left.
Inside the bathroom stall, their clothes were ssed up, and Gong Hong was roughly thrusting inside Yao Luli while sucking and biting on her breasts. He had lifted her waist and was pounding inside her.
"Don't you dare try to cuckold , you sl*t! I saw how dreamily you were looking at that b*tch's boyfriend. Don't take as a fool."
He was furious that even Yao Luli was srized by that guy. Enraged, he dragged her in the stall and started f*cking her.
"N-no boss, it's a misunderstanding. Ahnnn!!" Gong Hong went ever deeper. He smashed his lips on hers and smudged her lipstick.
Yao Luli bit her lips, how she wished to be in the arms of that handso man instead of this disgusting pervert. She imagined Jianyu instead of Gong Hong. But just for the sake of this prestigious competition, she had to seduce him.
After bouncing her up and down on his d*ck, he groaned and finally ca inside her. Their bodies were covered in sweat.
"Put on the clothes and let's get out before soone cos in."
"Y-yes, boss."

As Serena was making her way back, she bumped into soone.
"Ah, I'm sorry-" She froze, seeing the familiar figure. She slowly raised her head, and her gaze t a pair of black eyes which she hadn't seen in so many years. She felt a rush of emotions wash over her heart. All the mories ca flashing before her eyes.
The man looked down, and his body got frigid. His gaze turned dark and cold as he recognized the woman standing before him. He looked at her in utter hatred.
Serena was trembling as she was afraid to speak. But she found her voice. "B-"
"Don't call that!" He harshly said. His eyes turned slightly red in anger, and she heard him gritting his teeth.
It got so silent that it beca suffocating.
Startled, Serena took a step back. Even after all these years, the resentnt still stayed strong.
"So, you are participating, after all, Zhilan." His tone held disdain.
When his assistant had given him the list of participants, it took him a few seconds to register that her na was present on the list.
"Yes...I have-"
"What are your motives? What are you planning?" He cut her off mid-sentence.
Serena shook her head. "I'm here only for the competition."
The man snorted. "Says you. And you say many things which are usually a part of only sches. You and that woman."
Her eyes glistened in tears.
"Even your tears are fake. They used to affect at one ti. But now they are just hypocritical to . I don't understand why he still favors you."
"H-How is he?"
The man first glanced at her and then looked sideways. He seed to be lost in so faraway thoughts.
"How would he be? He is still standing at the sa place where he stood years ago. Nothing has changed at all. His life has beco so stagnant that I wonder if he is even breathing anymore."
Tears finally rolled down her cheeks at the ntion of that person.
The man glanced at her coldly and said, "Get your face out of my sight. Oh, and don't worry. I will be fairly judging in this competition. Even though I despise you, I won't compromise in talent."
Serena faintly smiled.
"After all, being unfair and cruel is your and that woman's forte." He sneered.
Her smile froze.
"Out!"
Serena tremblingly nodded and left.
He took out a cigarette and started smoking, his hands shivering a little.

All the participants gathered in their respective blocks to compete. Huo Corps had divided the area into different sections according to categories like interior design, graphic design, advertising, animation, and much more.
The competition was on a big scale, so a limited number of audience was also allowed to enter according to their field of interest.
Yao Luli and Gong Hong took their seats. She had applied so concealer and lipstick to hide the traces of their bathroom sex. Gong Hong looked neat and prim as if nothing happened.
Suddenly, they saw Serena entering with her boyfriend and two other people, one guy and one girl. What was more shocking that she sat on a participant's seat.
Gong Hong muttered. "Yao Luli! Didn't you say that she is just a spectator? Then why is she in the participant's area?"
Yao Luli was just as shocked.
"I don't know, boss. I t her once, and she didn't say anything about participating."
He gritted his teeth. She purposely didn't reveal it so that they would be in the dark.
"But she is jobless now. Is she working for another company?"
Yao Luli was also confused.
Then the hall quietened as a man carrying a cold aura entered. His assistant followed behind.
The judging panel had three judges, and he took the center seat.
Serena silently looked at him. He, too, caught her sight but didn't spare a glance.
The assistant announced. "Good morning, everyone. We hope to see good competition and many talented designers. Now, please welco the sponsor of this competition, CEO of Huo Corps, Huo Liwei."

In the hospital, Nurse Kim was on a call with the Dean.
The Dean from the other end was aghast.
"What!? Did she ask about that night?"
Nurse Kim pursed her lips. "En."
"Did you tell her anything?" There was clear anxiety laced in his voice.
"I didn't want to, but she was persistent. So, I only told her half of the story and cooked up the other half."
He said worriedly, "What did you say?"
She sighed. "Don't worry, Dean. She cannot figure out the whole truth. Half of it was a lie anyway."
There was silence from the other side.
"Nurse Kim, we cannot let anybody know the truth. We will be dood."
Nurse Kim pursed her lips. "Yes, Dean."
"Who was she? Why did she want to know about the incident?"
"The girl looked similar to that woman. So I guess she was"
Silence.
"But it didn't look like that she ca here to know about her parents primarily. She was facing so different problems and said that sobody related to that woman is trying to harm her family."
"Alright, whatever it is, if she cos again, then ignore her and no need to answer any questions."
"Yes, Dean. Nobody can know what happened with Xiao Dan that night."
"Hm." They hung up, and suddenly she heard a knock on the door.
Nurse Kim turned and froze.
Nana was standing at the door.
'L-Liu Nana? Why did she co back? Did she hear our conversation?'
She smiled. "Sorry I forgot my phone."
"O-oh." Nurse Kim felt relieved as she saw her phone lying on the table. It didn't look like that she heard anything. Her expression was normal.
Nana took her phone and politely bowed. "Thank you once again for your help."
"No problem. I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help."
"It's okay."
Nana stepped out and sat in the car. She thought back to how she listened to their conversation. She was already doubtful that Nurse Kim was hiding sothing.
Her expression when she said 'stormy night' made Nana feel that she rembered the incident quite clearly. But then the answers she gave were vague. She had a hunch that she would definitely try to contact her boss to tell him or her about her visit.
So, she purposely left her phone to get an excuse to co back. Nana quietly stood at the door and listened to Nurse Kim talking.
"Now, I finally got a na." She murmured. "Xiao Dan."
As her car left the hospital premises, a shadow from a distance, who was keeping an eye on her, quietly stood and saw her going.
