I met the legendary Brianna Hayes soon after.
A party for Chanel, the rich daughter, and
they had been invited. I had just come back,
so I was also invited.
We all gathered in a private room at a high-
end club.
Brianna, wearing a waitress uniform, came in
with the other staff, carrying drinks.
“Isn’t that the girl all those rich guys are
fighting over? Still working as a waitress.”
“She wants to earn her own money. She
doesn’t want to be a trophy wife.”
“Ugh, no wonder the guys are so into her.”
“Look at her eyes. She really looks like Sugar
Plum. But Sugar Plum came back, and those
rich guys don’t seem to care. Have those
guys already replaced the real person?”
“I don’t know. They are probably tired of the
real Sugar Plum, and the girl might be their
real love.”
The whispers weren’t exactly quiet. In this
circle, people were always looking for gossip.
I calmly studied Brianna. She did stand out
from the other staff.
Then, something happened.
Brianna was serving drinks, and as she was
standing right in front of me, she tripped and
spilled all the drinks on my dress.
I scrambled back, but some of the drink still
splashed onto my dress.
“Oh, Sugar Plum, I’m so sorry! It’s all my
fault…”
She dropped to her knees, begging for
forgiveness, trying to wipe my dress.
I was about to tell her it was fine when
someone yelled:
“Sugar Plum, stop bullying Brianna!”
Preston stormed over, glaring at me, and
pulled Brianna up behind him.
“Sugar Plum, you’re supposed to be a classy
lady! How can you treat a helpless girl like
this? Did you learn that overseas? So
disrespectful.” He spat those words.

Everyone watched us, whispering about me
being dumped.
OMG, he’s so protective! I’m shipping this so
hard!
Sugar Plum’s starting trouble, and the guys
are gonna turn on her.
“Preston, don’t. It was an accident. Sugar
Plum has every right to be mad,” Brianna said
softly, fanning the flames.
That made Preston explode. “Sugar Plum, I
didn’t know you were so petty—”
“Preston!”
I cut him off. “I haven’t said a word. What are
you even talking about?”

Preston stared at me, stuttering.
