Way Back Into Love (Essie)

Chapter 93 Be Friends Only (Part One)

It was the most famous cocktail bar in Yang City.

For the first challenge, each team had to select a cocktail and make a dress that could represent it for

the party.

Sunny had already asked the crew of the program to make Zoe be the first one to select the cocktail

she had decided on beforehand. Zoe picked sunset glow as Sunny had told her.

Essie, on the other hand, asked Nicole to select a green refreshing cocktail that also had white and

blue colors in it. This particular cocktail had a rich flavor.

The crew of the program was supposed to give them 200 dollars, which meant that they had to use the

cheapest cloth and accessories to maximize the effect.

Essie decided to go with a skirt that looked like the ocean. It was fresh and elegant, and it showcased

Nicole's white skin very well. In addition to that, it also highlighted the flavor of the cocktail she had

chosen.

She drew up the sketch as fast as she could, and asked Nicole for feedback. After Nicole didn't object NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

and told her it was good, Essie started to cut the fabric. They only had 15 hours to prepare, and

tomorrow at 12 o'clock the clothes would be on stage for display.

Essie didn't really need much help from Nicole, but all Nicole could do was stay beside her and pretend

to look at the design drawing while the camera was rolling. Besides, Nicole was no longer as worried

as she was before. After all, her agent was one of the best agents, and she wouldn't make the wrong

choice in selecting Essie.

At ten o'clock in the evening, when all the other designers were still busy with their work, Essie finished

making her dress for the party. It looked very elegant, and now, all that was left for her to do was to

decide on the accessories and make some minor adjustments.

Several senior designers couldn't help but feel shocked and immediately stopped what they were

doing. They came over to Essie to "admire" her work. They were rivals, after all. As the saying went,

"Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will be invincible."

Joe, one of the senior designers, graduated from the University of the Arts London. He was the one

who designed the red carpet dress for a movie queen that was used for the Cannes Film Festival. He

was amazed by the beautiful long skirt on the mannequin. It was well tailored, with a blue prismatic

flower embroidery placed perfectly on the chest area. From a distance, it looked like an extravagant

blue gem. The flowing fringes decorated the dress train perfectly.

"You are a genius!" He made no attempt to hide what he was thinking.

The others nodded their heads in approval. They had originally thought that this young girl only joined

to get some publicity, but now, they knew that she was actually a very strong competitor.

Sunny, who was busy sewing her dress on the sewing machine, was so angry that her eyes almost

popped out. Even though she had prepared her design beforehand and all she needed to do was to

follow the original design, it would still take her a day to finish everything.

At first, Zoe had felt happy about Nicole choosing the inexperienced Essie, but now she felt very upset

about it. Her expression was quite offensive to Sunny. The hatred Sunny felt towards Essie was like an

endless stream.

In the evening, all of the designers and stars stayed in the hotel.

After a series of performances from the girls, the camera on the wall finally stopped shooting.

As soon as Essie remembered that her husband had asked her to call him once she was finished

shooting, she picked up her cellphone to call him and report everything to him.

To her surprise, a woman's soft and familiar voice spoke on the phone.

She thought that she might have dialed the wrong number. Just as she was about to hang up, she

heard the woman's voice again. "You're Essie, aren't you? Zac is bathing right now. I'm going to stay

here for the night if you don't mind."

Hearing that, Essie tightened her grip on her phone. It was Leila.

Even though she knew that Zac would definitely go to Leila if she was not there, she didn't expect that

he would bring Leila over to their apartment.

That man could really only think with the lower part of his body. It had only been a few days since they

were parted. How could he be so impatient?

"Have a good time!" Essie decided not to say any more and hung up. 'I won't call him from now on. I

wouldn't want to interrupt him,' she thought.

Essie's good mood suddenly disappeared as she lay down on the bed.

Zac had a really good eyesight. However, he couldn't even recognize how insidious and guileful Leila's

face was. It was no wonder people always said that people in love are blind. This absolutely proved

that.

Essie didn't know why she was so angry, depressed, and unhappy. She thought about it for a while,

then decided that it was all because of the resentment she felt towards Leila for creating a discord

between her and her friend.

'Yes, I'm sure. That's it,' Essie thought to herself.

If Leila had been a very kind and good girl, Essie would be very happy for ice guy and bless them from

the bottom of her heart.

Meanwhile, in Zac and Essie's apartment...

Leila deleted the call log and looked at Zac's phone secretly with a sinister smile on her face. She was

surprised to find that there was only Essie's number in the call log, as if this phone was meant to make

calls to no one else but her.

It was indeed for Essie. It was available 24/7 for her.

She looked at Zac's contact list, and when she found that Essie's name was the only one in the list, her

jealousy for her grew even deeper.

Zac was still in the bathroom. He was already taking a shower when she arrived.

When she heard him coming out of the bathroom, Leila quickly put his phone back on the table.

"Did my phone ring?" Just now, Zac thought he heard that someone was calling his phone.

"Of course not." Leila shook her head immediately.

The disappointment was plain on Zac's face. That silly woman really did not have a habit of calling him.

He took a can of juice from the refrigerator and gave it to Leila. "It's late. What's up?"

With a pout, Leila said, "Can't I come here for you for no reason?"

Zac smiled but said nothing.

At that moment, Leila's heart was pounding very quickly. She took a sip of her juice to calm it down as

a wave of disappointment swept over her. As a matter of fact, she had a lot of doubts in her heart. She

wanted to ask him why he gave the ring to Essie. She also wanted to ask him why he was so good to

Essie, and why that girl was so special to him. The words were already on the tip of her tongue, but she

held them in.
