Jennifer was stunned. Giving him the manuscripts wasn't enough?
Ivan took her slightly cool hand in his and fixed his eyes on her, "Could you?"
Her long eyelashes fluttered as she felt the warmth of his hand.
The four eyes met. The woman's innocent face once again enchanted him.
"OK."
She agreed, and a light smile of relief and pleasure finally played over Ivan's lips.
No matter who caused the manuscript leak, at this moment, he felt a sense of relief.
Meanwhile.
Catherine dragged her exhausted body back to the apartment and collapsed on the bed, bawling!
Linda stood in front of the bed, also red-eyed.
She understood how exactly Miss Collins felt, and any words of comfort at this point was just useless.
"I thought that if I worked hard on it, I could impress him." Catherine was depressed, "I thought he could see my diligence and dedication, but now fate suddenly jumps in and messes me up. I could only impress myself."
Her whole person looked disheveled, her eyes reddened and swollen.
It was like a completely different person from the optimistic and decisive vice president of the company during the day.
Linda picked up and gathered the pillows Catherine had thrown to the floor. Then she made her a glass of warm milk, "Miss Collins... Most of the time, admitting defeat is actually the best kind of relief."
"I won't concede defeat!" She yelled emotionally, gritting her teeth, "Why should I? Am I not good enough?"
"Of course not!" Linda tried to comfort her.
"He's the president of the group, and I'm the vice president..." Catherine cried, and laughed, and cried again. "I'm only one step away from him. Loving someone is not looking up to him, but finding ways to get closest to him!"
"Miss Collins," Linda sat down on the edge of the bed, holding a glass of milk in one hand and supporting Catherine with the other, "Mr. Marsh is not blaming you, and it has nothing to do with you, so don't beat yourself up."
"This is Ivan's most important project in recent... I've kept such a close eye on the whole process, but still something went wrong. How am I gonna answer to him?"
Catherine was so emotional that she started to wail again!
Half for the company, and half for herself.
Early in the next morning.
Closet, second floor, Emerald Bay.
Jennifer tried on a purple dress and walked toward the man in her heels. Ivan shook his head.
She went back to the dressing room and changed into a pink dress and came out.
Ivan still shook his head.
