Fate was such a wonderful thing.
Although her father took great care of her, she knew that he was just controlling her. She knew that she was like a bird in a gilded
cage.
However, she took a brave leap of faith at that time. She took advantage of the chaos to avoid the bodyguards who were watching
her and then becfriends with Sterling.
After that day, she fantasized about escaping all the time.
Coincidentally, Sterling was thinking about applying to work at theirpany at that time. That gave them a second chance to
meet again.
