-Soraya " I had already done A / B testing on social media ads . So tonight , I'll go full blast on our ads , " Lyra reported to Soraya and Luca , C They met again at the Summit Lounge on a Friday afternoon . This time , Emil joined them so he could make adjustments to the website as needed . " I'm very excited . I already have pre - orders from Mrs. Sharma , Miss Lin , Mrs. Williams , and Mrs. Navarro ," Luca said with excitement , his eyes gleaming . " How is production doing ?
" Soraya asked Luca . " Doing great ! Most of the people handling production are my distant relatives . They know how important this is for me , so they're working just as hard , " Luca revealed . " That's wonderful , Luca . I'd like to meet them one day ," Soraya said with a smile . Turning to his assistant , Soraya asked , " Emil , has the discount promo already been activated ? " " Very much , Miss Soraya , " Emil said eagerly , showing his laptop to simulate the function .
" The marketing strategy is really smart . " " Oh , this has Lyra written all over it , " Soraya said , praising her friend . As part of their launch , they were introducing a 5 % discount on purchases starting at $ 5,000 and a 15 % discount on orders of $ 10,000 or more . This strategy was meant to tap into shoppers ' psychological drive to secure a deal , ultimately boosting Valmont Privée's sales . " Thank you , thank you , " Lyra said , pointing to herself .
" Digital marketing is my forte - anything marketing , really . Mind you , even Silas asks for my advice ." They all laughed . It was Luca who asked , " So , where is Mr. Ward ? " " There were new clients for NeuroSentinel who arrived after lunch . He wanted to come , but his hands are full . He's very serious about sales right now because he increased the license cost for NeuroSentinel , " Soraya shared . " Tell me about it , " Lyra remarked . " He's chasing his billions .
He once told me he wished he had a divorce alimony . " " Pffft ! " Soraya could not help but laugh . Although Emil and Luca laughed with them , they didn't necessarily know what it meant to Soraya . So far , the group knew she had a daughter . She admitted it , but never the complications of her failed marriage , and now , her involvement with her ex - husband's friend .
Soraya did get to share with Silas about Jacob earlier that day , because soon after he invited himself to eat her snails , clients arrived . ' Should I tell Lyra ? ' she pondered , but quickly decided against it , thinking Silas would get mad if Lyra knew before him . ' I'll tell them later . ' When their meeting was done , Emil left first to fetch his brother . Only Lyra and Luca remained with her . Luca quickly grew teary- eyed . He said to Soraya , " I'm feeling it , Miss Azar .
My dreams are coming back alive . I would not have gotten this far without you ." 1/4 11:44 + 44 Fri , 22 Also DOU Chapter $ 4 " Don't cry yet , this is just the first step , " Soraya said , smiling " just have a feeling the brand will explode . " Luca said . " Hello , that's because of me . 1 did every marketing strategy by the book ! " Lyra said . Then , pointing to Luca , she added , " And , of course , because of you .

When the backstory video goes out officially , everyone will feel connected to you , Luca " I can't wait , " Luca said , still brimming with tears . " And when Valmont Privée is on the rise , Maison de R. will go down , " Lyra remarked , referring to Rose's fashion line . " You guys dislike Maison de R , " Luca commented . " We do , " Lyra admitted . " The owner is Soraya's husband's mistress . " " Ex - husband , " Soraya corrected . " But I've moved on .
I no longer care about my ex - husband . It will just be healthy competition , and it'll give you , Luca , the limelight you deserve . " " Oh , my goodness . " Luca held Soraya's hand and said , " I will give you justice . " Soraya chuckled . She tapped Luca's hand and responded , " Make me proud , Luca Valmont . " They all left after that . Soraya went straight to her apartment , fetched her things , and then made her way down to the parking area of the residential building .
She was headed to Belridge , but just as she was finding her car , someone honked at her . When she turned , she saw Jacob's car . Dante stepped out of the driver's seat , calling , " Miss Azar , let me help you with your things . " Soraya made her way to the backseat , and sure enough , Jacob Steel was there . She hopped in , looking at him in disbelief . " Aren't you a busy man ? " " Mmmm , " he said while looking at her .
" I had a meeting with one of the shareholders for the Montclair Group . I bought shares from Mr. Perez . " "Oh ," Soraya said . Dante began to drive away , and it was then that Jacob gave her an update . " There's progress in our investigation on the Rowans , by the way ." " We managed to track down the woman Carlos Delgado brought into the Cedar Heights Golden Hotel .
We found her through Carlos ' description and cross - referenced it with the list of HIV patients registered in Cedar Heights . Her name was Macy Clarke . She's already dead ." " But aside from Carlos ' description of Macy , we discovered she had left her identification at the Hotel . The hotel front office had managed to keep it in storage , labeled with a date - seven years ago , on the day of the Montclair Group's anniversary party .
" " That could not have been a coincidence , " he declared . " My men are speaking to Macy's parents , her previous co - worker , and her handler . We're trying to establish a connection between the Rowans and this woman . We should get feedback soon , " Jacob said . " Am I right , Dante ? " " Yes , Sir . Our contacts are relentlessly pursuing this , " Dante said . Dg up pg d 11:44 Fri , 22 Aug 61 Chapter 84 " And Marvin Rowan ? Do you have anything on him ? " Soraya asked .
" He's been going to this restaurant in Chinatown in Cedar Heights . He goes in and comes back out after hours , sometimes an entire day , " Jacob shared . " My men are trying to get entry into the restaurant . It's strangely for members only . " Soraya frowned . She asked , " Can you tell the name of the restaurant ? I'll look into it ? " How ? " Jacob asked . " I have my ways , Jacob , " Soraya said with confidence . Jacob leaned back .
He rested his face against his fist , asking , " I don't want secrets , Soraya ." She turned to him , thinking . " I'm - I'm already trying to open up , but you're right . I … I kinda know how to hack ." " Hmm ? " He raised a brow . " How good are you ? If you lie , I'll know about it . You know that , right ? " " Um . Just okay , I guess , " she said , but her face was burning . Jacob moved closer and suggested , " If you're lying , I'll punish you this time ." " Punish me ?
" Soraya reacted . " I'm not a kid , Jacob . How in the world do you intend to punish me ? " , He pressed his lips against her ear and suggested , " I'll pin you against the wall and kiss you for two minutes ." Soraya , " … They were too close , and Soraya saw from the rearview mirror how much Dante was grinning at them . She pushed Jacob away , but he was too strong . Instead , he pecked her cheek two times ! " You haven't greeted me properly , by the way ," he said .
Her face turned crimson , knowing there was a witness in the driver's seat . She grumbled , " The name , Jacob . Give me the name of the restaurant ! " Jacob groaned , but he no longer distanced himself from her . He merely put his arm around her and checked his phone , where the details were stored . " Lotus Shadow Teahouse , 1189 Silk Alley , Chinatown District . " Soraya quickly took out her laptop , and her fingers did the magic . " What are you planning to do ? " Jacob asked .
" For now , the basics . I'll send the restaurant and their employees phishing emails . One of them is bound to click on it , " Soraya said while working on her laptop . " Even if only one person clicks the link , I can get in fully . " What Soraya didn't realize was how swiftly her plan would take effect . In only a few days , the Lotus Shadow Teahouse would open its doors to her , not to serve tea , but to reveal the secrets buried beneath its floors . Chapter 85
