The Queen's Back

Artemis changed her shoes and placed the red wine on the dining table. She entered the kitchen and saw Mona and the other girls had almost finished cooking.

Mona turned around and saw Artemis's smiling face. She could not help but wonder who would be the lucky guy to have such a beautiful woman.

Seeing Artemis walking over, Mona said, "Artemis, you don't have to come over. We're almost done here. It's the last dish." Artemis looked around and realized everything was almost ready. She said in embarrassment, "Girls, I'm sorry. I'm late!" "It doesn't matter. We know you're busy. You are the main reason why Star's sales are so good. Just enjoy the food," Ava said with a smile, carrying the steak they had just made to the dining table.

"Ava, please don't tease me. My fans are supportive, and it's all thanks to Mona and Elara's good design and the quality of our clothes. I like to wear Star's clothes daily," Artemis said as she brought the cooked food to the dining table like Ava.

Mona said, "Alright, the reason that Star can sell well is also thanks to Ava's daily management. How should I put it? We're all taking credits. Each of us counts."

As Mona finished cooking the prawns, the food for the gathering was ready.

Elara said, "Mona, I used to think you were the kind of rich girl who didn't do any chores. Not only you but also Ava and Artemis. I thought you all were like that. But after interacting with you guys, I realized you all know how to do housework. Just this dish alone, I can't cook as well as you do, Mona."

Elara looked at the food before her and felt lucky to have met this group of good friends.

When she first joined the Design Department, someone told her the most difficult person in the Design Department was Mona, who wore pink clothes every day and thought of herself as a princess.

However, after spending time with Mona, Elara found Mona was not like they had said. Instead, Mona was an easy-going person to get along with. It was much better to get along with Mona than her former friends. Elara thought Mona was a very good person. None of them would look down on her because of their wealthy family background, and each had a sincere heart. Indeed, only by having the same values could they be friends.

"Elara, you're overthinking it. We're all the same. These are necessary life skills. Alright, stop overthinking it. Living happily is the most important thing. We'll get better and better in the future. Let's go to the dining room," Mona said as she placed the plate of sausages in Elara's hand.

Mona carried two plates of vegetables herself.

Mona called Haley over after they placed everything on the dining table. Then, Mona frowned when she saw so much food.

Among the five of them, only Haley had a huge appetite. However, Haley only ate meat and barely touched the vegetables. Mona wondered if the four of them could eat so much.

Ava only glanced at Mona and knew what she was thinking. "Mona, don't worry. We have an entire afternoon. Let's eat slowly."

Artemis nodded. "Can we start now? I'm hungry."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Then let's dig in. I hope Star can rise to the next level. Winter clothing will be a huge hit!" Mona raised the glass in her hand. "Rest assured. I see the sales are quite good these days. Very soon, I can put the online shop on the agenda." Ava clinked her

"I wish we could make a lot of money." Artemis also raised her glass.

"I hope Star's products can sell well. We'll all be rich ladies." Elara raised her glass and clinked it with the three of them.

Haley raised her glass and said, "I hope there will be endless chicken drumsticks."

Everyone sipped the wine, and Mona praised, "Artemis, this wine is not bad. Where did you get it?" The taste of this wine was more mellow. Mona thought Maxwell would like it.

Mona thought of Maxwell's temper from days ago, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled into a smile. She decided to treat Maxwell better.

Hearing Mona's question, Artemis cleared her throat unconsciously and said honestly, "Well, someone gave it to me. I don't know where to get it." Mona nodded and could only give up.

Ava looked at Artemis's slightly red ears and had some guesses in her heart. "Artemis, is this wine from a man or a woman?"

Upon hearing Ava's question, Artemis's ears and cheeks turned red. "From a man."

"Oh my god, it's from a man..." Ava purposely dragged the word "man" to the back. It immediately made the girls' imagination go wild.

"Artemis, you are seeing someone, huh?" Mona asked as she put the food on the barbeque grill.

Artemis had debuted at a very young age. She had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had no gossip or scandals. Many guys were around her, but Artemis never wanted them. Seeing Artemis so shy, Mona guessed Artemis had someone in her heart. "Artemis, don't hide it from us. We're best friends," Elara said.

Artemis was a great beauty. She had a good personality and should have someone to dote on her.

Artemis smiled shyly and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I'm filming a period drama now, right? He's an investor in it. After a while, we got to know each other. Last time, my assistant bought a milkshake and got one free. Coincidentally, he was beside me, so I gave him the milkshake. "A few days later, his assistant hurriedly handed me two bottles of red wine. I didn't want them, but his assistant ran away quickly. I didn't know when I would see him again. I saw these two bottles of wine were not bad, so I brought them over for everyone to drink." Ava shook the glass in her hand. Seeing the red wine's excellent color, she nodded. "Tsk, it's the milkshake for red wine. Based on my intuition, this investor is interested in you. Believe me. You'll meet him again in a few days!"

"Yeah, I think so, too." Elara took a bite of the barbecue food. The food was really good. It tasted even better than those in the restaurant. She could not help but pick up the grilled lamb chop

"So, Artemis, are you interested in this investor?" Mona asked.

Artemis was a little confused. She nodded and then shook her head. At last, she said honestly, "I don't know, either. I'll wait and see."

Artemis didn't know how she felt about this investor who rarely talked or laughed. Maybe she didn't like him, but she couldn't help but feel her heart race when being with him. Perhaps she felt a thing for him, but they had only met a few times. She didn't quite believe it.
