Mrs. Holman nodded. "Uh-huh. I heard that you have come back from abroad!"
"The headquarters transferred me back to take over the domestic business. I've planned to call upon you when appropriate!" Abby smiled and continued enthusiastically, "Mrs. Holman, my driver is waiting outside of the hall. Let's send you back home, okay? We can have a talk on the way."
When Tina heard this, her heart sank slightly.
She already had a hunch that their journey this time would turn out to be in vain.
Sure enough, Mrs. Holman looked at Abby, Tina, and Susan, as if she was thinking about something.
Compared to Tina and Susan, Abby was more familiar with Mrs. Holman.
In this case, Mrs. Holman would naturally choose Abby as a companion. She quickly made a decision. "Okay!"
Abby stepped forward and took over Mrs. Holman's suitcase.
Mrs. Holman said faintly to Tina and Susan, "Sorry. See you next time!"
After that, she and Abby walked out of the hall together.
Susan's eyes widened when she saw that Mrs.
Holman chose Abby as her companion. She was both angry and disappointed. "D*mn it! Abby Amery has gone too far. She did it on purpose!"
Of course, Tina could also noticed that Abby did it on purpose.
She and Abby were competitors now, so it was reasonable for Abby to do so.
Tina tugged at Susan's sleeve. "Let's go!"
Susan nodded helplessly. "Hum!"
After their attempt in the airport failed, Tina was not discouraged at all. The next day, she took a taxi to Mrs. Holman's company.
The receptionist asked politely, yet alienatedly, "Do you have an appointment?"
"No, I don't!" Tina shook her head.
The receptionist revealed a professional smile and clicked on the computer keyboard. "If you don't have an appointment, you can only wait over there. I'll inform Mrs. Holman of your visit. When she's done with her work, she'll arrange for you to meet her!"
Tina said, "Thank you!"
She sat down on the sofa in the rest area, which was on the right side of the hall, and waited patiently.
A very long time had passed, and the sun was setting now. Tina finally felt that she could not wait any longer. She went to the reception counter again and asked the receptionist.
The receptionist replied, "I'm sorry, but Mrs.
Holman has been busy. I'm afraid she doesn't have time to see you today. Maybe you can try tomorrow!"
Tina was speechless."..."
For three days in a row, Tina was rejected for the same reason.
She had failed to see Mrs. Holman during this period.
Every day, Tina could only leave the office building unwillingly.
After being rejected many times, Tina became absolutely sure that Abby must be the one who was responsible for this. She must have deliberately asked Mrs. Holman to avoid meeting Tina.
At night, the moon was shining brightly in the sky.
Tina was sitting cross- legged on a low table in front of the window, and staring blankly at a pile of blank paper.
The pen was held in her hand, yet she was at a loss where to start.
Mrs. Holman had refused to meet Tina all along, but Abby could have the chance to stay with and talk to her.
As a result, Abby must be taking a lead in this contest, as she had a lot of contact with the target client in private. If things went on like this, Abby would prevail on the basis of the advantage she had, and it would be very likely for Tina to lose the contest.
Tina was indeed very confident in her own talent and capabilities in fashion design.
However, although Tina was confident in herself, the contest result still depended on the judge, Mrs. Holman, who had emphasized that she would choose the design work which was more attractive to her.
In this way, the personal preferences of Mrs. Holman would determine who was the winner, and who was the loser. In order for the design work to be satisfactory to Mrs. Holman, it would be better for the designer to learn about her preferences in advance.
This almost seemed like a mission impossible for Tina at present.
Tina sighed in a low voice.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
