“Lessie, | owe you for this one.”
Queenie was no slouch herself, but to pull off something so thorough in such a short time? That took more than
just a cool head-it demanded skill, connections, and a kind of resourcefulness she simply didn’t have at her
fingertips.
She'd spent most of her years abroad, pouring her energy into building her own brand. When it cto handling
people and crises, she just didn’t have the sexperience.
Alessia, on the other hand, had been exposed to high society since junior high, tagging along with Cole's parents
to all sorts of events. During school breaks, she and Cole would even help out with basic projects at The Whitley
Group for practice. And with the founding of A&C Entertainment and A&P, she'd weathered every storm and
learned every trick in the book when it cto crisis management.
For her, this was barely a challenge. Even without a recording as evidence, Alessia would've found a way to
expose Sienna’s plagiarism.
“But how did you track down Paula?”
Paula was Queenie’s assistant, and honestly, the most promising designer she had..
She'd been with Queenie ever since graduating from design school. Though her skills weren't top-tier, her
creativity was outstanding, and Queenie had been deliberately nurturing her talent-making sure Paula
participated in nearly every project, and always giving her credit.

“I made a few friends while traveling. Asked them to helplook into things. Once | checked on Sienna’s recent
activity, it wasn’t hard to connect the dots,” Alessia replied, her tone light, as if it had been no trouble at all.
Stella had always known Alessia was capable, but she still couldn't help giving her a thumbs-up.
To Stella, Alessia was practically otherworldly-unshakably calm, always in control, someone who could handle
anything life threw at her. She succeeded at everything she put her mind to.
They were the sage-Alessia was even a year younger-but the gap between them felt enormous. Yet even
so, Stella felt incredibly lucky to
have Alessia as a friend.
After all, who wouldn't want a friend who supported you unconditionally, both emotionally and practically? And
maybe, just maybe, having such an amazing friend meant she was worthy too.
“Well, now that everything's settled, how can | ever repay you, my friends?” Queenie finally managed a smile as
she looked at them.
“Let's save the celebration for tomorrow,” Alessia said. “Cole just messaged me-the factory's finished the new
designs. Let's go check them out. And don’t worry about the flagship piece-Steve happens to be traveling here
right now, and I've called in Sanford, the best artisan around. With their schedule, we'll have everything
delivered first thing in the morning.”
That's the magic of the six degrees of separation-if you know the right people, you can reach anyone in the
world.
