Nora's casual words scared Sheldon out of his wit.
"Sheldon, you said that you would help me. It was Aubrey who plagiarized my design. Now it's all over the Internet. She is ruining me. You will help me, right?" Nora looked at him.
The corners of his lips moved. He really didn't know what to say. It would be wrong no matter how he chose to answer.
Nora looked at him. She was surprised by her performance just now. She had planned to get straight to the point after meeting him.
But the moment she sat down, she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to see how Sheldon would handle it.
This was the first time in her memory that she had ever gotten along with someone while being slightly calculating. She had never expected that Sheldon would be her first target.
"Well, Nora, I've read the material. According to my conjecture, it's unlikely that we can turn the tables..."
Sheldon thought about it in his heart and said, "As you said, this matter has spread. The public is prone to believe what they see first, so it is basically impossible to change that situation."
"Nora, to put it bluntly, designing is just a random job. Don't worry. As long as you're married to me, you're the young lady of the Joneses. You can have whatever you want. Why care about a stupid design competition?"
Nora looked at him in a daze, completely unaware that he would say that, especially the last sentence.
She remembered that when she first came into the field of design, Sheldon recommended her. At that time, because of amnesia, she didn't even know her name, let alone what she could do.
During that period of time, she lived a life of fear almost every day.
Ever since she discovered her talent and interest in design, the excitement was almost indescribable. From that moment on, at least she knew that she was no longer a useless person.
The Joneses saved her life, and she was finally able to repay some of what she could.
She didn't tell anyone about these things, but she told Sheldon about her dream of fashion design. What did Sheldon do at that time?
Right, at that time, he looked at herself gently and said, as long as she wanted to do it, she should do it boldly and confidently, and he would fully support her dream.
But now?
He actually told her not to care about reputation, that design was nothing but a job, that she should better wait to get married and stay at home every day as a young lady?
Nora thought it was incredible how a person could suddenly change so much. Sure enough, he must have acted so well in front of her before.
She sighed deeply in her heart and suddenly didn't want to pretend anymore. There was no meaning at all.
"Sheldon, we've known each other for five years. It's not long or short. You saved me back then, for which I'm very grateful. I don't want to use this to get into the Joneses or rely on you."
"If you have someone you like, you can tell me."
Yes, Nora didn't understand why Sheldon chose to sit on the fence. In her opinion, she had no right to control who Sheldon wanted to like.
