Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

---- Chapter 352 At 2:00 pm, Valeria received a massive bouquet of pink roses. She signed for it. Everyone around her noticed the ring on her left ring finger and quickly surrounded her, chattering nonstop with questions, until Kayla came over to rescue her. "Well, well, it looks like something's going on." Inside the office, Kayla helped arrange the flowers in a vase, leaving some floral foam intact. The white porcelain vase with the pink roses looked strikingly beautiful. Valeria lowered her head, her gaze falling on her hand. A glimmer of light caught the diamond on her ring finger.

Kayla immediately dropped her scissors, covered her eyes dramatically , and cried out, "Ahh! That's so bright! What is this? My poor eyes!" Valeria couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to grab her arm. "Alright, stop being so dramatic." Kayla took Valeria's hand instead, scrutinizing the ring from every angle. The ring was dazzling against her slender fingers. Kayla clicked her tongue. "So, just one little ring is enough to take down Ms. Neal." "We got married," Valeria said. 'The words had barely left her lips before she clapped her hand ---- over Kayla's mouth.

Kayla's looks didn't match her personality at all. She had the face of a studious academic, crisp and efficient at work, but in private, she had a wild and mischievous side. Valeria was afraid her shriek would carry into the outer office. "Is ita whirlwind marriage?" Kayla's eyes widened, her shock impossible to hide. "You two..." "I was a little impulsive at first, but soon after, I calmed down. I gave it serious thought for a night and in the end, I married him." Kayla clicked her tongue as she studied Valeria, hugging a throw pillow to her chest and propping her chin on her hand.

Valeria began to tease back. "At least I never got drunk and shouted his name." Kayla's face darkened. "I just wanted something casual, a fling. I'm not planning to marry Nathan anytime soon. His mom disapproves of me. And that ex-fiancee of his who was dumped? She tried slitting her wrists the other day, forcing him to go back to Slate City. "He proposed to me before , but I rejected him. I don't need some wealthy heir who has to cut ties with his family just to be with me.

What feels like love now might turn into regret, and that regret will be the blade that cuts me." "Kayla." Valeria sat down beside her and hugged her. "When's your wedding? Make sure I get a seat at the main ---- table." "Of course. And you'll have to buy me an extravagant wedding gift." "Speaking of which..." Kayla frowned slightly, pushing up her glasses. "While you were away, Queenie reached out to me. She wants to come to Etoile. "She had been Sabrina's assistant for years, training a whole group of designers who kept feeding Sabrina ideas. But Sabrina put her own name on all of them.

Queenie says she has evidence, and since she knows we don't get along with Sabrina, she wants to side with us." "If she could betray Sabrina and come to us, then one day in the future, she could betray us too," Valeria pointed out flatly. "Back then, it was she who stole my manuscript from my home. That draft she handed to Sabrina was probably her offering to gain favor." Valeria hadn't expected that very same afternoon , when she finished work, she would see Queenie again. In the cafe on the first floor, Queenie spotted her and hurried over.

She grabbed her hand, and her face was filled with desperation. "valeria, please, give mea chance. I'm begging you. I have what you want. Most of Sabrina's so-called 'designs' were actually created by our team, not her. "This USB drive holds everything. It's enough to destroy her shining reputation as a star designer completely." ---- She had crossed Sabrina. She had designed a piece that could have landed her a joint feature with Sabrina ina fashion magazine interview.
