Evangeline elegantly waved the VIP card in her hand, her smile poised and graceful.
The receptionist immediately covered her mouth in embarrassment. “I’m terribly sorry.”
“It’s fine. Since I haven’t been here since I got the card, it’s only natural that you wouldn’t recognize me,” Evangeline reassured her, offering the receptionist an excuse.
In truth, at a high–end salon like this, failing to remember clients and not providing them with a flawless experience was a significant oversight. Of course, Evangeline was not really concerned about this, so she did not mind how the receptionist behaved.
The receptionist gave a grateful smile and quickly took the VIP card from Evangeline’s hand, gesturing for her to follow. “Please, come with me.”
When the card was swiped, the machine gave a soft ‘ding‘, and Evangeline’s name appeared on the
screen.
The receptionist enthusiastically continued her pitch about their latest products.
“Ma’am, I see that the service you purchased last time was the hydrating skincare package. While it’s suitable for pregnant women, it’s not as effective as our newly launched products specifically designed for pregnancy…”
The receptionist went an excitedly, but Evangeline did not hear a word. Her attention wandered as she glanced around the hall.
Then, she spotted a tall figure walking down the hallway leading to the treatment rooms.
When Celina saw Evangeline standing at the reception with her pregnant belly, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Approaching Evangeline swiftly, Celina greeted her with a signature smile. “Ms. Rearden, it’s been a long
time.”
Evangeline nodded slightly. “Yes, it really has.”
Celina’s gaze shifted to Evangeline’s rounded belly. She turned to the receptionist and said, “I’ll be personally attending to Ms. Rearden.”
“Oh, okay. I was just pulling up Ms. Rearden’s file, but I haven’t registered her visit yet.”
The receptionist left quickly, leaving Celina to take over. She did not even touch the mouse, simply removed the VIP card from the reader.
“Ms. Rearden, please follow me.”
Once inside the treatment room, Celina was attentive and thorough, helping Evangeline lie down on the beauty bed.
She skillfully put on her beauty gloves, but just as she was about to touch Evangeline’s face, she was stopped.
“Ms. Morris, aren’t you going to ask me what service I want? I’m pregnant now–won’t the previous

treatments affect the baby?”
Evangeline stretched out lazily on the bed.
“If you were really worried about it affecting your baby, you wouldn’t have come here at all.”
Celina raised an eyebrow. “Am I right, Ms. Rearden?”
Her superior, Julia, considered Evangeline an eyesore, so how could Celina not recognize her?
With the powerful status of the Foster family in Avalon City, it was clear that someone was secretly targeting Evangeline.
Yet here she was, coming to this salon in such dangerous times, simply for a facial!
Celina could not help but admire Evangeline’s bravery, knowing full well the risks.
Evangeline sighed softly. “Have you ever thought that maybe I came here because I trust you wouldn’t harm my child, and that’s why I sought you out for this facial?”
She could clearly hear the double meaning behind Celina’s words.
Fate was indeed strange. From the moment Evangeline first saw Celina, she had liked her, despite knowing that this woman was likely involved with Julia.
