Zaui suddenly suggested, “Well then, now that that’s done with, let’s put work aside and play a game or two! Hmm… How about this? I’ll get a make-up artist to apply makeup on both Mrs. Burton and Miss Lockhart! They’ll be wearing the same clothes as well!”
“Our goal will be to try distinguishing between the two! If you choose wrongly, you’ll lose the bargaining chip. However, if you choose correctly, you’ll get an extra thousand points on the contract! While that may seem like a small amount, a thousand points represents thousands of dollars for a huge project,” concluded Zaui.
“I like this game. I’m in!” replied Bianca, leaving Xavia momentarily speechless. What kind of friend was she anyway…? Couldn’t she tell that Xavia really wanted to leave…?!
Either way, Xavia found herself meekly peeking at the prestigious Zivon who was still seated down… Surely he wouldn’t agree, right…?
To her dismay, Zivon simply added, “Fine by me. I’d never mistaken my wife for someone else.”
That second sentence… It sounded determined and gave the impression that he really loved his wife…
Regardless, due to Zivon’s choice of words, Jenna—who had initially wanted to refuse—quickly found herself smiling as she wrapped her arms around his and said, “You’re so sweet… I love you, Zivon…!”
Following that, the smiling woman got up to prepare for the game, leaving Xavia even more speechless than before…!
His words, estrangement, and the way he doted on Jenna all felt like needles jabbing her heart… Though it was downright depressing, Xavia knew she didn’t really have a right to be upset. After all, Zivon and Jenna were married, to begin with! This was their life and they were finally back on the right track!
With that in mind, Xavia suppressed her emotions as she followed Jenna to begin preparing for the game…
Fast forward to about fifteen minutes later, two stage lights were flipped on, revealing the two women who were now donning Milan-styled outfits. Since both of them also shared the same hairstyle and makeup, they were now complete mirror images of each other. The complicated outfits only made distinguishing them even more difficult…
