I’m Someone Else

Chapter 202

Lilac and Fanny stopped picking on her. After all, today’s wedding was big business for their family’shotel. A VIP would be here in a moment, so they couldn’t do anything that would harm their family’sbusiness.

A short while after that, Zoe walked in in a green evening dress. Lester was a senior employee of hers,so it was only reasonable that she should attend his wedding.

Lilac and Fanny’s eyes lit up at the sight of Zoe. Here comes the bigwig we’re waiting for!

Zoe was now considered a big fish in Irieson, thanks to her being Twilight Bar’s owner and her closerelationships with both Sean Morton and William Peralta. Countless people wished to befriend her,wanting to get to know Sean and William through her.

Such was also the case with Lilac and Fanny. “Nice to meet you, Miss Ginger! I’m Lilac Dickens, themanager of this hotel, and this is my sister, Fanny,” said Lilac.

“Oh, nice to meet you,” replied Zoe with a nod of greeting. From just a glance, she knew these twowomen had deliberately waited for her at the entrance for the purpose of getting acquainted with her.Having met too many people like them these days, she was already used to it. She wasn’t averse tosuch a way of playing up to the rich and powerful. After all, everyone had their own way of living. Thatbeing said, she didn’t like it much either, so it went without saying that she wasn’t warm toward them.

She went straight into the hotel, having no intention whatsoever of exchanging pleasantries with thetwo sisters. At once, her eyes were drawn to Chloe, who was wearing a princess dress. Sitting downnext to her, she remarked with a cheerful smile, “You look so pretty today, Chloe.” Back when Chloewas working at Twilight Bar, many customers had hung out there just to try to hit on her.

Chloe blushed at her compliment. “You must be joking, Miss Ginger.”

Seeing Zoe take the initiative to speak to Chloe, Lilac and Fanny immediately seethed with rage at thehotel’s entrance. What the hell is wrong with you, Zoe Ginger? You’re one of the bigwigs in Irieson, andyet you took the initiative in talking to Chloe, that country bumpkin? Don’t you worry about cheapeningyourself? Seriously, we don’t understand what you’re thinking! We are a thousand times better thanChloe in terms of social standing, and yet you leave us here and speak to her instead!

It was true that Lilac and Chloe had previously been on good terms, but that changed after Thomashad beaten Fanny up so badly. Fanny has only just recovered after lying in the hospital for such a longtime, especially with most of her teeth knocked out by that Thomas guy. Her missing teeth can bereplaced with dental implants, but what about the suffering she went through? Anyway, this hasbecome a big deal. My parents have learned about this and are about to take revenge on him! “Humph!What a smug little floozy!” swore Lilac in displeasure. With that, she led Fanny into the hotel and gotback to work.

Thomas came to Chloe’s side after parking his car.

“Thomas, do you think this is good for a wedding gift?”

Thomas replied with a wry smile, “Don’t ask me about this. I’m not sure either. Just give it as a weddinggift if you think it’s okay.”

Chloe nodded without saying another word. In any case, I mustn’t come up with a wedding gift that’scheaper than this one. Mr. Lush helped me a lot back when I was working at Twilight Bar. Without him, Iwould’ve lost my cherry long ago, and I wouldn’t have become the person I am today. Anyway, I’m notstrapped for cash at the moment, so I’ll give this.

Soon, it was time for the guests to present their wedding gifts. After presenting hers, Molly came toChloe’s side. She had been thinking about seeing Thomas more often.

Thomas said hello to her before watching Chloe present her wedding gift.

“Tch! How can a pauper like her present a wedding gift to someone else? She should save the moneyto buy food for herself instead!”

Molly turned her gaze in the voice’s direction. At a glance, she saw Fanny, who folded her arms withcontempt written all over her face. “Why you—” She recognized Fanny, having been there during thefight at the movie theater. Needless to say, she had no good impression of this woman, who had triedto bully Thomas by taking advantage of them being on her boyfriend’s turf. I can’t believe we’d actuallyrun into her here! Judging by the way she’s dressed, she’s probably a member of this hotel’s staff.

Before she could finish her sentence, Fanny interrupted her, “What about me? What’s wrong with you,you slut?! Haven’t you seen such a pretty babe before?”

Thomas immediately took a step forward. This Fanny woman really never learned her lesson! When wefirst met, she rudely didn’t let Chloe talk, and I laced into her before knocking out almost all of her teethto teach her a lesson. And yet, she’s still so cocky right now! She really deserves to get beaten up!

Chloe reacted swiftly by taking hold of him. “Forget it, Thomas. Today is Mr. Lush’s big day. It’s notgood to make trouble.”

Fanny showed no fear on her face. “Ho, ho, ho! Look at you! You wanna beat me up again, don’t you?”So what if you’re good with your punches? This is not the movie theater back then. How dare you raiseyour hand against me with so many people watching? I’ll scare the hell out of you!

After looking at Chloe, Thomas let out a sigh and suppressed the anger within him. Had Chloe notstopped me just now, I would have ripped this woman’s mouth to pieces so that she could never saysuch hurtful things anymore!

Seeing them return to their seats, Fanny felt pissed off. She could tell that Thomas had wanted to hither just now, only to be stopped by Chloe. Is he insane? How could he try to hit me in front of so many

people? And besides, this is my family’s hotel! This guy probably doesn’t know his place! “Sis, youshould stay away from that Chloe girl from now on. She and her family are a bunch of paupers! I’mashamed to even know her personally.”

“Alright, that’s enough. Stop talking, will you?” Although Lilac also had a problem with Chloe, the latterwas a guest at their hotel, after all. It’s better not to make trouble today. He can’t run away, anyway. Mydad will come after him soon. Anyone who dares to hit a member of our family will pay the price for it!

As soon as Thomas seated himself, his phone rang; it was a call from Olivia. He stood up and steppedaside to answer the phone. “What’s wrong, Olivia?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to ask when you’ll be able to come back.” Olivia had wanted to say that shemissed him, but she didn’t have the courage to say so.

“I’ll be back in the afternoon, I guess.”

“Oh, okay.” Olivia’s mood instantly sank at his words. I thought he’d come back soon, but it turns outthat I have to wait until the afternoon. I’m not in the mood to work after not seeing him for half of theday.

“Remember to eat lunch, okay? Don’t wear yourself out. If there’s something you need to do, just letthose working under you do it instead,” urged Thomas.

“Don’t worry, I know that. I’m going to lunch right now.” Listening to the man’s attentive words, Olivia feltthat her inner gloom had vanished. He still cares about me, which means I’m still quite important tohim.
