Chapter 54

Since Finnian was insistent on buying her something, whether for fairness or just to keep her quiet, Amara

decided to accept it.

But honestly, she didn't really need anything at the moment. However, she did recall hearing Elysia and Keith

mention a designer bag they had their eyes on. So, she found the pictures of those two bags and sent them to

Will.

"I want these."

The bags were part of the scollection but in different colors, kind of like a couple's set.

Will was delighted and forwarded the pictures to Finnian, saying, "Mrs. Everly wants the Nuvéla couple's bags;

I've already placed the order for her."

Couple's bags? Finnian was a bit taken aback when he saw the matching bags.

Why would Amara want a couple's set? She'd obviously keep the women's bag for herself, but who was the

men's bag for? Could it be him?

For sreason, he's actually kinda excited about it.

The next day, somehow Liliana found out about the whole thing. She barged into Amara's break room,

challenging her the moment she stepped inside, "You asked Finn to buy you a bag, and a couple's set no less?

Ha"

Her laugh was dripping with sarcasm. "You haven't lived with Finn for three years. You don't even know what he

likes, Ms. Sullivan. Stop wasting your time."

Liliana tried to maintain her poised demeanor, but her eyes were filled with intense disdain. She no longer

bothered to pretend in front of Amara.

Amara was reading when she heard this and looked up, unceremoniously snapping, "Ms. Porter, if you have a

problem, you should get it fixed."

Liliana was momentarily stunned; it seemed like this was the first tAmara had ever insulted her.

Her eyes turned sharp. "What do you mean by that?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

Amara had never bought Finnian a bag, nor did she plan to. Liliana coming over and saying such things was a

testament of her being a basket case.

"Amara."

Liliana was about to retort, but Amara had enough. She really couldn't stand Liliana and didn't want to share

space with her, fearing a repeat of past incidents.

She stood up abruptly, pointed toward the door, and said, "Shut up and get out, or I'll start lashing out."

In the showdown between Liliana and Amara, it was Amara who first dropped the pretense of elegance. She

glared at Liliana with undisguised loathing.

Liliana's triumphant posture faded, apparently infuriated by Amara's attitude. She said nothing, merely giving

Amara a contemptuous glance before sashaying out.

Once the room was quiet again, Amara returned to her book. That was when Keith showed up. He had cat

Amara's request. She handed him the bag Will had

delivered that morning, saying, "This is for you. | remember you liked it."

Keith was taken aback, unsure why Amara would give him something so expensive. Although he could easily

afford it himself, it must have cost Amara a fortune.

Sensing his confusion, Amara recounted the events of the previous day. Upon learning that Finnian had bought

the bag, Keith had an impulse to toss it out.

But then he quickly realized he

couldn't do that. He'd need to flaunt

this bag in front of Finnian someday. The thought flashed through his mind so quickly he almost didn't catch it.

"Keith," Amara said, seeing he had the bag. "You've got a scene to shoot later, right? You should get going."

She'd called him over just to give

him the bag, but after getting it, Keith didn't seem in any rush to leave. He lingered, asking random questions

and making smalltalk, inexplicably clingy.
