Buzz... Linda was woken up by the vibrating cell phone.

When she opened her eyes, her body felt like being run over, and she could barely move.

The man held her tightly in his arms and slept soundly. They were as intimate as... an affectionate couple who hugged each other to sleep.

Linda blushed instantly and didn't dare to recall the madness a couple of hours ago.

Something glowed on the carpet. It was her cell phone. Who knew when it fell to the floor?

Gingerly she freed herself from the arms of the man. As soon as her feet landed on the floor, the ache swept her off her feet.

Thanks to the thick carpet, she didn't make much of a noise. Almost crawling forward, she took her cell phone and hid in the bathroom to answer it.

"Linda, come back quickly! I just got up to use the bathroom and found Lisa fainted! I've called 911!" Sally's cry came from the other end.

Linda's limbs instantly turned cold.

Her mother, Lisa, had a heart problem and was hospitalized last year. Her health improved recently, but...

She rushed out of the bathroom, found, and pulled on her dress as quickly as she could. In her hurry, some buttons were torn off.

Regardless of it, she packed up her things and looked back at the figure on the bed.

Yesterday his companions mentioned that he would come back to Britain today.

From now on, they would be far apart and not meet again.

Thank you, Mr. Nell. If I bore your seed, I would raise him wholeheartedly.

Involuntarily she stroked her belly and sneaked out of the door.

The man on the bed was still fast asleep.

...

Time flew. Three years passed by.

It was time for another general election in the USA.

After two terms of office, President Sam Reed stepped down. Another round of intense competition ended, and the new president was about to take office.

Apart from the general election, the other topic widely discussed among citizens in Washington D.C was the award ceremony of the Valentine Award, the hallmark of international fashion.

The internationally renowned Valentine Award was held in Washington D.C for the first time this year. It naturally attracted the attention of all fashion professionals.

As night fell, the Cultural Center in Washington D.C was brilliantly lit.

The ongoing award ceremony was about to announce the most anticipated 'Emerging Designer of the Year' award.

This award was designed for young and promising new designers. The competition was very intense this year because of the special prize for the winner.

In addition to the trophy, the winner would be employed as the President's image management consultant for the coming year and work in the prestigious 99 D.C. Street where the presidential office was located.

Naturally, such a supreme honor attracted countless young designers.

"The Emerging Designer of the Year for the 22nd Valentine goes to Linda Marley, designer of Foley Group's fashion brand Birch Maple!"

As soon as the host announced the winner, all the live cameras were instantly directed to Linda who sat below the stage.

Linda curled up her lips to smile at the cameras...

Tonight, she was wearing a maple backless evening dress designed by herself. Her lipstick and wavy hair were also the same maple color.

A long platinum chain was worn backward at her nape. The thin, ripple-pattern chain drooped down the graceful outline of her back, which looked sexy and unique.

However...

As soon her face went live on the big screen, whispers started under the stage.

"It's her, right? Just now when I browsed Twitter, I saw her on popular topics." Some audiences took out their cell phones, itching to confirm it on Twitter.

"It's her! Rumor has it when her mother passed away three years ago, she showed her true color. Her life became decadent and messy. Addicted to alcohol and drugs, she even got an illegitimate child whose father is unknown!" Some of them knew about the gossip and elaborated vividly.

"How could such a person deserve the reward? Among other things, how could she serve the president? That's President of the USA we are talking about! If a promiscuous drug addict becomes the image consultant, wouldn't other countries laugh at us?" Someone said indignantly.
