Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again novel Chapter 54

The woman was startled at the door. “Excuse me. I don’t know where the lounge is...”

Clarence paused his pace. He looked over from aside, only to find an unknown woman standing at the door. He creased his handsome brows slightly and asked, “Who are you?”

Modesty was quite awkward. She clenched her hands in nervousness, blushing. “I’m Modesty Parker, a jewelry designer from SG Jewelry Magazine. I came here to thank you, Mr. Conrad...”

Clarence looked quite annoyed. “Did you come here alone?”

“Yes, I did.” Modesty bit her lower lip and didn’t know what to say. Suddenly, she recalled his order when she came in. Instantly, she seemed to have grabbed the straw to save her life. She asked, “Mr. Conrad, do you want to have a cup of coffee? I can go there now...”

“No, thanks.” Clarence sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He looked quite indifferent and aloof. “What can I do for you?

Modesty walked in and closed the office door. She took a few steps forward. Looking at the handsome man in front, she blushed deeply. “I’m Modesty. Mr. Conrad, do you still remember me?”

“No, I don’t.”

His tone was already with some coldness. H was running out of patience already.

Biting her lower lip, Modesty explained, “Three years ago, I got the first prize of Young Designers' Contest, so I got the financial support from Conrad Group to study in France. I’ve just come back not long ago. Now I’m the executive jewelry designer in SG Jewelry Magazine. I came here to thank you deliberately, Mr. Conrad. If it weren’t for you, I...”

Clarence interrupted her without any expression, “Wasn’t Stella Radomil the winner of the first prize?”

Modesty didn’t seem to expect that he would know Stella’s name. Her expression changed slightly but soon was hidden. “Yes, I won the second prize. However, Mr. Conrad, you said she had taken the contest as a business opportunity and she didn’t deserve the chance because she wanted to make profits from it. Her qualification was canceled and I went to France instead.”

Clarence didn’t speak for a few seconds. Then he asked, “Have you done?”

Modesty didn’t get it. “What?”

“If you’ve done thanking me, you can leave now.”

Before coming here, Modesty had asked around what Clarence’s character was. Hence, she wasn’t surprised to hear his words. She said, “I’d like to invite you for a meal, Mr. Conrad. May I have the pleasure, please?”

Clarence looked up at her with an extremely cold face, “Are all designers from SG Jewelry Magazine so idle?”

Modesty misunderstood that Clarence thought that she had wasted Conrad Group’s money for studying abroad since she came out during the work time. She explained, “I... I’ve just joined SG Jewelry Magazine. The other designer is in charge of the current designs. I also asked for a leave today...”

Clarence stood up. “It’s none of my business.”

Before she requested, Modesty was well prepared that she would be refused. “Okay. Mr. Conrad, I won’t be holding you up for so long. Next time, when you are free, please contact me.”

After finishing her words, Modesty put her business card on the tea table boldly. Then she turned away.

After Modesty was gone, Clarence pressed the internal life of the assistant’s office. He asked in a cold tone, “Where is Nathan?”

“Mr. Lance is out.”

Clarence ordered coldly, “Notice all the employees - in the future, if the designer of SG Jewelry Magazine came here again, ask her to go back directly. Don’t let them bother me.”

The woman who should have come here didn’t show up, but he received another design who shouldn’t have come here.

The assistant on the phone immediately answered, “Yes, Mr. Conrad.”

Staring at the documents in front of him, Clarence felt a bit annoyed. After a few seconds, he pulled out his phone and dialed Vincent’s number.

“Hello, Vincent. What’s Horace Keith up to recently?”
