She really shouldn't have doubted Miss L.

"Thank you. Your feedback made me realize where I need to improve."

Lydia smiled, giving her a gentle nod. You're incredibly talented. As long as you find the right path, I know you'll shine in your own way very soon."

So when it came time to vote, Lydia didn't hesitate. She gave her vote to Jenny without a second thought. She believed Jenny had both the natural gift and the drive to make it big in the fashion world someday.

Blake had been waiting for the award ceremony to wrap up so he could take Lydia out to dinner and catch up. He never imagined that before anything even started, Lydia would suddenly get up, pull on a cap and mask, and walk right past him, whispering, "Blake, see you."

She didn't have a second to waste. If she stayed any longer, things could get out of hand. She'd just hacked into Greenward Power's security system overseas, and someone had noticed. She'd been careful, but the Viper crew was sharp. Last time, when she broke into the Capital's police system, they'd tracked her down.

She needed to lead them somewhere quiet where she could take care of things herself.

Blake was caught off guard by how fast she left. From the look on her face, he could tell something urgent was going on. His brow furrowed and he shot up from his seat.

He pulled out his phone and called his assistant. "Jonas, there's a girl with a black baseball cap and a mask. Watch her. Don't let her out of your sight."

Jonas was waiting just outside, keeping an eye out for his boss. As soon as he got the order, he straightened up, all business. Got it, Mr. Norwood!"

He'd barely hung up the call when a stunning girl in all black, cap and mask in place, strode right past him. She had legs for days and moved with such confidence and speed that he almost forgot to breathe.

She was already crossing the lot, about to disappear. Jonas snapped out of his daze and hurried after her, careful not to get too close.

Whoa. Was this really the girl their boss had his eye on?

Lydia slipped into her car and fired off a few quick messages. She buckled up,

slammed her foot on the gas, and took off with a roar.

Jonas scrambled to keep up, eyes wide in disbelief.

"Seriously? How could she drive so fast?"

He hit the gas, speeding after her. Little did he know, he was basically running straight toward trouble.

He hadn't gone far before Blake called again. "Where is she?"

"I'm sharing my location right now."

Blake's voice was ice cold. "Don't lose her. fit looks like she's in danger step in right away. If she gets hurt, you'll be digging holes in Antartica till you retire. Send me your location immediately

He ended the call without another word. He didn't really know what his sister was like, but he'd heard the rumors about Miss If someone as legendary as her was this on edge, it couldn't be something small.

Jonas trailed Lydia, completely lost. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. Wasn't this just the classic story? Ruthless CEO spots a quirky girl at an International event follows her home, gets her number, flirts a little, confesses, proposes, gets engaged...

"Wait, where'd she go?" He hadn't even finished his daydream when he realized the

car ahead had vanished without a trace.
