Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1705

Chapter 1705

Cedric looked up at Emily with mild surprise, nodding approvingly as he saw her calm demeanor. “Well, I'll leave this case entirely in your hands then, and you'll take care of the details with Mr. Beck."

Emily nodded. "I'll do my best."

“There's an important client coming this afternoon,’ the deputy director said. "It's usually a meeting only for our senior designers, but you should come along."

Emily knew that Cedric was intent on mentoring her, so she grinned and said, “Thanks, Mr. Cedric: “Keep up the good work,’ he told her.

"Yes, sir"

As Emily left the office, Edgar rushed over. "Didn't I tell you? When you've got the Beck case, you've secured your position in the firm.

Emily was also full of fighting spirit. "I hope to successfully complete it."

“As long as the design passes, the rest is up to the engineering department,’ Edgar teased. “With such a big case, the firm will surely make a fortune, and your cut won't be small either. You'll have to treat us then."

"Sure, I'll treat you to lunch. What do you want to eat?" Emily said cheerfully, her dimples showing as she laughed, her beauty warm and elegant.

“Anything is fine. Invite Allen too," Edgar suggested with a glint in his eye.

Emily looked puzzled. “Why should I invite him?"

Edgar grabbed her wrist and tickled her, but Emily managed to shake off his hand and quickly turned around to avoid him. Just as she did, the office door next to her opened and she walked right into the man coming out. A familiar scent of cedar filled her nostrils.

There were gasps all around. The man grabbed Emily's arm, holding her steady rather than pushing her away.

Emily looked up into his handsome face, their eyes meeting in surprise. She quickly stepped back.

“What department are you from?" Ron, the director standing next to Charlie, scolded her coldly. "You are running around and creating a ruckus in the hallway, even bumping into clients. Apologize immediately!"

Edgar quickly sidestepped, while Emily lowered her head, “I'm Emily from the design department. I didn't mean to bump into you, I'm sorry."

Ron, sporting the latest trendy cut and decked out in a tailored blue suit, rebuked her coldly, “Why are you apologizing to me? Do you know who Mr. James is?"
