My nose was hit so hard.
While covering my nose, I couldn't help complaining, "Are you blind?"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
When I lowered my head and rubbed my nose painfully, I heard a soft and gentle voice.
As soon as I heard the voice, I felt as if I were in a better mood.
I looked up, intending to say, "Forget it." However, seeing the two people in front of me, I only felt a chill on my back.
It was Patrick and the woman who had been picking a diamond ring just now.
"Mr.... Mr. Cowell." After thinking over how I should address Patrick, I chose to address him as Mr. Cowell, thinking that it was the most suitable one.
However, as soon I finished my words, Patrick's face seemed to change.
The woman next to him looked at him and asked, "Do you know each other?"
"No..."
"Yes."
Patrick and I responded at the same time.
I was denying it. And he was admitting it.
Patrick's face grew gloomier as he looked at me.
The woman seemed to understand something. Then she smiled and said, "Do you want to talk with each other? I'll excuse myself first."
As she spoke, she was about to walk to the side.
Patrick didn't move. But I got nervous first and quickly stopped the woman, "No, no! Mr. Cowell is the boss of our company. What can
I say to him?"
The woman stopped and looked at me. Then she looked at Patrick and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" I nodded desperately, "Goodbye, Mr. Cowell!"
After that, I ran away in a flash.
It wasn't until I reached a corner of a shop that I stopped and looked around, only to see that Patrick and the woman stood in front of the car and seemed to be saying something.
After that, he got into the car very quickly.
At this time, I realized that my heart was pounding. And at the same time, I felt that I
was sour and uncomfortable in my heart.
However, I had observed the woman closely just now.
She, who was different from Caroline, was dressed decently and acted gracefully. At first glance, it was obvious that she was a lady from a rich family.
Only such a woman was worthy of Patrick.
If she was with Patrick, it would be great.
If that was the case, I could feel at ease as well.
I went back to the company and continued to work overtime.
In the past few days, I had been helping the project of the western restaurant work on the 3D effect pictures. The owner of the western restaurant was a young couple who came back from overseas.
The man's name was Ralph Forbes. And the woman's name was Serena Harper.
The two of them returned from abroad to start a business here. So they held a lot of hope for their restaurant.
I also tried my best to adjust the effect pictures according to their requests.
As a result, I often worked overtime.
Finally, two weeks later, I completed 3D effect
pictures which the two of them were both satisfied with. And then I handed the project to the Engineering Department.
This project was an important task for me. As soon as I finished it, I got more free time.
That afternoon, I sat in the office and drank some boiled water, planning to go back to have a good sleep at night. Then, there was a commotion outside the office.
Someone said, "The President is coming!"
"The President?"
Glorious Seth Design now belonged to Towering High Group. So the President could only be...
Realizing who it was, I immediately began to pack up my things and prepared to slip away.
However, as soon as I arrived at the door, I was blocked by the Minister, who said, "Everyone in the Design Department should be in a meeting!"
At that time, I stood at the door and faced the Minister.
The Minister looked at the bag in my hand and said, "Charlotte Archer, where are you going? Leave after the meeting is over."
I, who had work to do, had no choice but to stay.
"Bah! You are talking nonsense!"
As Caroline heard what I had said, her face became very ugly.
Obviously, she had known these things.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know it pretty well. All in all, it's all your fault. As long as you're honest, the title of Mrs. Cowell should have been yours. But what did you have to set up a designer brand? Moreover, you did plagiarism."
At the mention of her plagiarism, I stared at her more disdainfully.
I hated her very much.
If it weren't for her plagiarism, the title of Mrs.
Cowell surely would be hers.
In that case, nothing bad would happen to the Archer Family.
"I did these to consolidate my position! After all, you made unnecessary moves against me!" Caroline looked at me with a vicious look in her eyes.
"Everything will come out in the end! It's okay if you hurt yourself only. But now the Archer Family is like this. If you are honest, the Cowell Family surely will help the Archer Family now!"
The more I said, the angrier I became!
However, Caroline didn't think that she was wrong at all!
She looked indifferent, "What happened to the Archer Family has nothing to do with me. In fact, the title of Mrs. Cowell has nothing to do with the Archer Family as well. I got it by myself!"
"Aren't you ashamed?"
"It is you who are shameless! After all, as long as I have a good life, I'll be fine. You're completely out of the game. You're just jealous of me!"
When Caroline spoke, her face was full of pride.
Hearing her words, I was so pissed off as I said. "You're so selfish."
Caroline pointed at me and said loudly, "Am I selfish? Don't pretend to be a saintly woman. The reason why you've been staying by Patrick's side is that you want to be a lady from a rich family!"
Caroline pointed at me and said loudly.
I was angry, thinking that if she hadn't been pregnant, I would have hit her early.
But she was pregnant. And I couldn't do anything to her.
When I tried my best to control myself, I saw that Caroline's eyes lit up. Then she stumbled back unexpectedly!
I, who was startled, subconsciously went to help her up!
