139 The New Branch Store (Three)

"Oh. Were you there? I'm sorry I didn't recognize everyone at the party."

"Nah. I was only forced to attend." Fraine laughs nervously. She doesn't want to remember that night! 

Hailey smiled faintly and didn't return a comment. Fraine took this opportunity to ask her opinion. 

"Do you believe that I am also someone's mistress?" 

"It is your own story as I have mine. You must have your reason, as I have mine as well. Putting my nose in others' private lives is not my habit. I am more concerned in mine." Hailey paused; she offered Fraine a cup of tea. "Please have some tea, Fraine."

"Thank you." 

"As your boss is my business partner now, and she entrusts you to manage the DV Gem Store branch, I want your loyalty not to reveal my real identity to anyone, even Vincent Shen."
