“You!” Alondra exclaimed, her face turning red with anger.“This dress wasn’t even something I asked you to buy. If you want it, I’ll return it to you as

soon as I get home!”
Keira’s lips twitched up a little, but her eyes stayed cold.“Yeah, if you’re going to give stuff back, do it properly. Give back all the clothes and jewelry I gave you. And you’d better move out of the apartment I rented for you too.
“Now that Andres and I have broken up, I suppose you wouldn’t want to keep the stuff I or continue living in the apartment I rented, would you?”
gave you
Alondra’s face was redder than before, and she looked really ticked
off.
She thought, “When Keira was with Andres, she was really nice to me. But as soon as they broke up, she just ditched me, right?
“She’s such a hypocrite. No wonder her man was stolen by Marlee! She totally deserves it!” Andres’s assistant saw that they were about to start fighting and stepped in to mediate, “Ms. Finley, Ms. Hardin, you guys both need to chill out. We’re all family here. This kind of fighting really screws up the good vibes.”
Alondra was fuming and blurted out at him, “What nonsense are you talking about? Family? Haven’t you heard that she and Andres have already broken up?”
“And you,” Alondra sneered, poking her finger towards Keira’s nose, “Keira, isn’t the money you spent all Andres’s? How dare you say those things were bought by you for me? And how dare ask for them back?”

sneer escaped Keira’s lips. She looked indifferent, yet still stunningly beautiful. She said, “I was with Andres for five years, and I never took a penny from him. In fact, I worked for him for five years without getting paid. He’s the one who owes me, you know? Her voice was clear and crisp. Her words sounded gentle and soft. But for some reason, they carried a kind of seriousness that made people shudder in awe without even realizing it. Alondra looked at her pretty, delicate face and felt a weird discomfort in her heart. Just as Keira finished speaking, Andres happened to come in.
He caught every word of that sentence, his face as gloomy as stagnant water. Alondra couldn’t believe it.“How is that possible?”
She walked up to Andres and tugged his arm.“Andres, did you hear what she said?” Andres looked at Keira silently.
Since he knew she had gone to Mount Foraker again yesterday and prayed for their romance, he had already calmed down a lot inside.
Yesterday, he had softened his tone when talking with her, thinking she would understand. He didn’t expect that she would go even further and ask for money.
Andres closed his eyes and took a moment to calm down.“Kiki, I asked you to come today not just
talk about the project, but also to have a serious chat about us. With all the drama we’ve had these past few days, if you want me to apologize first, I don’t blame you. Can you calm down

Keira sat leisurely on the sofa, chuckling, “When you spoke, I almost thought you were going to give me back my salary,”
Just one sentence almost made Andres lose control.

it for you, so speak nicely,”
“Kiki, didn’t you just want me to get that bracelet back? I’ll said Andres. Alondra couldn’t believe it.“Andres, what are you saying? How could you get it back?” Andres shot her a cold glance.
Keira still had a faint smile on her face, but it didn’t reach her eyes.“I don’t want anything tainted. I’m not in the habit of rummaging through the trash can for discarded things.” Andres tried his utmost to rein in his emotions, but they finally got the better of him, and his ‘expression turned cold.
Yesterday, he went back and thought about it. The investors wanted Keira to be in charge, which was the most effortless way to solve this trouble, but not the only way.

But Keira couldn’t bear to leave him, so he didn’t need to waste connections and owe favors to others.
He came to talk to Keira about this today just to show her his attitude He was still willing to give Keira a chance.
Yet, she was too stubborn to realize she was being offered an opportunity.
“Keira, that’s enough,” Andres said through gritted teeth.“I have no more patience to wait for you to calm down! Or else, when you want to regret it, it’ll be too late.”
The warning was clear.
Andres thought, “Since she went to Mount Foraker, she should have understood what she wanted.
“If she wants to be with me, she’d better start showing it.”
Keira stopped smiling and watched him quietly.
She was trying to find a familiar trace in him, but there was none.
Not at all.
“So? What do you want me to do?” Keira looked at him faintly. Andres heard these words and thought that his warning had worked.
Keira was afraid. She was afraid that he would really abandon her.
He and Keira were both orphans, but even though his parents had passed away, he still had his uncle’s family. Now, Marlee had also returned.
was a whole different story for Keira. She didn’t have any family. If she lost him again, she Would really be left with nothing.

After all, it was the woman he loved. At the thought of this, Andres still felt a little sorry for her His tone eased up as he said, “Tell Mr. Moran now that you want to come back to me. The film investors have been pushing us lately, wanting the project to speed up. Be good and I’ll take to meet them today. You’ll be in full charge of this project.”
you
However, Keira did not do as he had expected, and there was not a trace of emotion on her face. Instead, a sneer slowly crept onto the corner of her mouth.“Andres, did you talk to the person in “charge over there? Without me, do they still want to cooperate with you?
“Did you really want me to come back to you, or did you have to ask me to return for this project?” – Andres was taken aback, a bit of annoyance in his eyes. It was hard to tell if he was mad or just irritated by her nailing his thoughts.
It amused Keira, no matter which one it was.
She didn’t hide her thoughts. The mocking smile at the corner of her mouth was even obvious.
Andres looked at her, his eyes a bit arrogant and reckless.“Kiki, you’ve always been smart. Why are you acting so silly about this?”
Though he was holding back his emotions, there was clear disdain in there.“They agreed to cooperate with you just because you’re my girlfriend.”
When their eyes met, Keira remained calm and said, “I’ll say it one last time. I won this project on my own. It has nothing to do with you.”
She was willing to soften her edges for him, but that didn’t mean she didn’t have any.“But if you really insist on taking it, I can let it go. Consider it a breakup gift from me to you, a way to honor the years we’ve spent together.”
Andres was taken aback, unsure whether it was the first half of her sentence or her decision to give up on the project.
As if she could see right through him, Keira smiled faintly, “Since I can win one project, I can win another.
“Andres, you
said I relied on your resources. Well, now you can see how I’ll live even better without you.”
Andres clenched his fists tightly, almost amused by her stubbornness.“You won’t change your mind until you hit rock bottom, huh?
“Kiki, to be honest, sometimes I quite like your stubbornness, but unfortunately you are not using it in the right place now.”
This remark made Keira frown.
To be honest, she really wanted this project.
She clearly said that she didn’t have anything to do with Andres, but she still came today. She also knew in her heart that Andres was eager to transform, and this project was crucial. He probably wouldn’t let go.
Andres wouldn’t give in to her, and that outcome was pretty much expected. Since they didn’t reach an agreement, she didn’t need to stay and turned to leave.

Kora looked at Alondra, who seemed like a crazy woman, with an indifferent gaze Have all those etiquette teachers and renowned artists that I have been hiring over the years. taught her anything?” thought Keira.
Andres looked at Alondra and couldn’t help but frown.
But Alondra didn’t seem to care about their reactions and kept yelling, “Andres, I came here today to expose her true colors. Do you know what she did?”
