Chapter 20 Vivian squinted at the car , trying to make out the model . " Hold up … Is that a Ferrari ? Who the hell shows up in a car this flashy ? " Before Luciana could respond , the bright red Ferrari rolled to a smooth stop right in front of them . A moment later , the driver's side door opened , and out stepped a woman in a red dress . The woman wore dark sunglasses . She had bold red lipstick and long , flowing hair that cascaded down like silk . She was fiery , striking , and so stunning it was impossible to look away . She gave the two women a once - over , then pulled off her sunglasses and flashed them a sultry smile . " Hey , cuties . You two from the design department ? Either of you know how to sketch ? " Vivian stared at the woman's face for a good few seconds . And then , it hit her like lightning out of a clear sky . She slapped a hand over her mouth and gasped out loud . " Alicia Langston ? " Alicia Langston - the famous celebrity . She was 31 but looked barely 20. She had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade and had a trophy shelf stacked with international awards . In Jaxwell , there wasn't a soul who didn't know her name . And more importantly , she was the second daughter of the Langston family - the richest in the city . Also known as Thiago's sister . Luciana recognized her too . She remembered Alicia posting a photo for Thiago's 20th birthday . It was the first time she had ever shared a photo of her brother publicly , and their uncanny resemblance had sparked a viral frenzy online . Alicia playfully bit down on one arm of her sunglasses and raised a perfectly shaped brow . " So , you know me , huh ? What about Thiago ? Do you know him too ? " Both Luciana and Vivian nodded . " Yeah . We know him . Are you looking for him ? " Alicia waved her hand dismissively . " Please , I see him all the time . I'm sick of him . I'm actually looking for a student who can draw . You girls from the design department ? I need some help with something . I pay well . " Vivian immediately pushed Luciana forward . " Luci can ! She's amazing - top of our class every year . " Alicia beamed and turned her full attention to Luciana . " And what's your name , sweetheart ? " " Luciana , " she mumbled . Alicia tilted her head , smiling . " Luciana , huh ? I like that . Sounds earthy , wholesome . Better than something basic like ' Leah . ' Has a nice texture to it . Tasty and soft . " Luciana didn't know what to say to that . Alicia pulled out her phone . " Alright , Luciana . Add me on WhatsApp . Come home with me now . I'll pay you two thousand dollars an hour . Deal ? Luciana blinked , stunned . " Two … Two thousand dollars an hour ? " " Not enough ? I can go higher if needed . " Vivian quickly stepped in " Ms. Langston , can I ask - what exactly would Luciana be doing ? " " It's my dog's birthday today . I want a cute little portrait . Just a pencil sketch . " Luciana choked . " Wait … Like … an actual dog ? " " Yup . It's a big fluffyhusky . What , you think I meant a fake dog ? " Alicia giggled . " Relax , I'm not a psycho . I'm just desperate . My original artist got food poisoning and bailed . So now , I'm stuck scouting on campus . " Luciana and Vivian exchanged glances . Vivian leaned in and whispered , " Go for it , Luciana , You said you needed a job , right ? And it's not like Alicia needs to kidnap art students off the street . " Luciano hesitated . Something about it felt … weird . But she couldn't put her finger on what . Still , two thousand dollars an hour was an offer that was hard to say no to . After a brief moment , she pulled out her phone . " Okay , Ms. Langston . I don't have class this afternoon anyway . I'll come with you . " " Perlert ! And please , just call me Alicia . No need to be formal . " Lisans climbed into the passenger seat of the Ferrari . As she buckled her seatbelt , Alicia sneakily snapped a photo of her side profile . She immediately sent it to Thiago , " Snatched a little cutie and am bringing her home now . " Three seconds later , Thiago replied " * " Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
