Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 447

"Alright."

Francis walked in arm in arm with Caroline, his gaze lifted to the figure standing in front of the dining table, a silhouette he knew all too well.

His brows furrowed, eyes narrowing slightly.

Could it be... her?

Caroline's reaction was more direct, exclaiming, "Is it really you?"

Rebecca stood upright, her hands clasped in front of her, visibly nervous. "Mr. Francis, hello, Ms. Caroline, hello."

Truth be told, when she had submitted her design, it was more of a shot in the dark, not daring to hope for too much.

After all, there's always someone better, and she never allowed herself to think she was the best.

But who would have thought, luck would be on her side, and she'd actually be chosen?

Because of a past misunderstanding with Caroline, Rebecca bit her lip, feeling uneasy.

Caroline, seeing Rebecca, felt a twinge of annoyance. Why did it have to be her?

Francis turned to Caroline.

He was aware of their previous discord.

So, he squeezed Caroline's hand, "If you're not happy, we can find another designer."

This statement practically dismissed Rebecca without a discussion, a clear snub!

Rebecca's expression stiffened, her smile nearly faltering... she knew it would be like this! Seems like all her efforts were in vain.

Forcing a laugh, Rebecca said, "If that's how Mr. Francis sees it, then I'll take my leave."

She bent down to grab her backpack from a chair.

"Hold on." After a moment of hesitation, Caroline called out to her, "We might have had our differences, but I'm someone who separates personal issues from work. I'm buying your design because it's a collaboration. Let's not dwell on the past, okay?"
