Chapter 821
Staring at her frowning face, Jeremy curled his lips. “How could I be so daring to make fun of my aunt?”
He walked to her front. “I was done with my meeting a long time ago. It’s just that I saw you sleeping, so it would’ve been rather inconvenient to wake you up.”
“…” After hearing what he had to say, Madeline felt that she was the one at fault.
Seeing Madeline daydreaming, Jeremy stared at the blanket which Madeline was holding onto.
“Aunty, please don’t go making wild guesses that I’m the one who covered you with this blanket. It’s the lady from the front desk who did it. It’s none of my business.”
He denied that the incident had anything to do with him. His eyes did not show any sign of concern toward her nor could traces of missing her be found.
Madeline grasped the blanket tightly and smiled. “It looks like I’ve really misunderstood. If that’s the case, then can you please book an appointment, Mr. Whitman? I don’t want to waste too much time on just your case alone.”
“Aren’t there any more jewelry designers in Whitman Corporation? Do they have to rely on the wife of the director who’s currently pregnant to bear with this burden?”
“The company’s issues are Felipe’s issues, and Felipe’s issues are also his wife’s issues. I’m very delighted to carry out tasks for my husband,” Madeline replied.
Jeremy’s expression changed after hearing her reply. “I’m envious of my uncle for having such a good wife.”
His stunning face inched closer as he spoke. His low and attractive voice surrounded her ears.
“Say, if I knew how to appreciate you from the very beginning, would you have done anything for me just like you are now for Felipe? Will you be missing me?”
Madeline was at a loss for words.
“Eveline, tomorrow at nine in the morning, I’ll wait for you in the office,” Jeremy blurted out such a comment before leaving.
Madeline could not understand why she would bring upon herself such torture.
On the next day, she arrived at Jeremy’s office right on time. However, to her surprise, Yvette was present as well.
Jeremy gave Yvette the authority to make any decisions, and according to Yvette’s preferences, Madeline did the design on the spot.
Yvette stared at the design and admired it with satisfaction. “Mrs. Whitman, you’re indeed a very capable designer in this industry. This design is just perfect.”
“If she’s really that great, she wouldn’t have needed so many tries to succeed,” Jeremy blurted out a very sarcastic comment as if he was dissatisfied with Madeline’s design.
