Chapter 225: The Air Would Be Rife With Speculation

"Lyse, darling, did you get the invitation?" Bella asked, her voice laced with anticipation.
"Invitation?" Lyse echoed, her brow furrowing slightly. "What invitation? Infact, who is this?"
"Oh I’m sorry, it’s Bella. I’m Ken Stuart’s manager, we met at your home a couple of months ago." Bella clarified. "And he has been invited to a charity event next week, and he specifically asked me to invite you."
Lyse’s eyes widened slightly. In the middle of the brouhaha, she had entirely forgotten about the invitation from Ken.
"Oh," she said, her voice laced with surprise. "I... I have been so busy, I forgot all about it."
"Well, that is alright," Bella assured her. "He is very keen for you to attend. He said he’s a big admirer of your designs."
Lyse’s smile widened. "That’s... that’s very kind of him," she said, her voice filled with gratitude at the thought of Ken taking notice of her work.
"So," Bella continued, her voice laced with a hint of mischief, "are you interested?"
