Chapter 134 Nothing Is Going on Between Us
Kate was humming happily as she packed her things. She saved her design, shut down her computer, and cheerfully went to Miles..
When she reached Miles‘ office, she happened to see Ruth coming out. Ruth looked flushed while beaming, but her expression froze when she saw Kate.
“Ruth? What were you doing in Miles‘ office?”
Kate asked bluntly, frowning.
Her tone wasn’t exactly friendly, and Ruth tensed up, a wave of resentment rising in her heart.
What’s wrong with her? Does she want to lecture me? Or was she jealous of me getting closer to Miles?
Who does she think she is?
Ruth secretly rolled her eyes and pretended to be flustered as she explained, “Kate, please don’t misunderstand me. I was here to discuss my design with Mr. Miles. We have nothing going on between us. We’re only discussing work matters!”
Kate looked at Ruth coldly and sneered, “Is that so?”
She circled Ruth while scrutinising her from head to toe. “If that’s the case, why is your face red?” she mocked.
Ruth clutched the hem of her clothes, looking uneasy. “It’s a bit warm in the office. Kate, why are you always picking on me? I swear nothing is going on between Mr. Miles and me!”
Ruth lowered her head and started to sob. “I’m only a small designer and I’m grateful that Mr. Miles appreciates my work. I feel lucky to get his guidance on my designs. What else could I wish for? Kate, what have I done wrong that you’re always suspecting me with malice?”
Ruth was getting louder as she spoke.
Miles had been aware of the commotion outside and came out from his office. He looked at Ruth and Kate suspiciously and said hesitantly, “What are you guys doing outside my office? Ruth, why are you crying?”
