The next day. Jocelyn wanted to head to the office after having breakfast.However, when she walked to the entrance to take her keys, Skyler grabbed onto her arm and said, “I’ll fetch you to work!” There was an icy expression on Jocelyn’s face. “I can drive myself!” Skyler spoke in a harsh tone, “Take my car when you go to the office and back in the future!” Jocelyn frowned. “Why should I do so?” She would not have any personal freedom left! Skyler cast an intentionally long gaze at her. “There’s no particular reason. Do it unless you want your car tire to remain flat forever!” Jocelyn was stunned. A thought flashed across her mind. She stared at Skyler in disbelief. “Were you the one who let out the air in my tire previously?” Skyler’s expression was completely nonchalant. There was an honest expression on his face as he said, “I just wanted to tell you that nobody can stop me from doing what I want regardless of what means I use!”Shock and complicated feelings w
Skyler smirked and chuckled softly. “Don’t worry, I’ll put it on right now!” His gaze was filled with a gentle understanding that Jocelyn had never previously seen in his eyes. He was making it seem like she was acting unreasonably. Jocelyn was extremely angered. Skyler fastened her seatbelt. He then sat back and started the car.Jocelyn relaxed her tightly clenched fists. Her anxiety washed away as well. However, before she could completely calm down, Skyler suddenly asked her, “Right, why did you go to Quintus Hotel yesterday?” Jocelyn’s gaze flashed as she tried her best to make her voice sound casual. “I went there to catch a treacherous couple in the act!”Skyler recalled the intense scene that took place in the hotel room last night. He came to a realization. “You were helping Mimi Kane?” Davis had mentioned it during the meeting yesterday as well.Although he did not tell him who it was, Skyler could vaguely guess everything after the incident last night.Jocelyn
Jocelyn pondered upon it carefully and tried piecing things together in her head. She felt sweet but worried at the same time. She anxiously considered everything that Skyler had done for her. It was as if she were trying to find evidence that he liked her from each and every one of their interactions in daily life. This was the feeling one had while starting to develop a crush for the first time. It was bittersweet. Skyler noticed that Jocelyn was not saying anything. He frowned and called out, “Jocelyn White!”Jocelyn raised her head to glance at him at once. She then looked away in panic and lowered her head at once. She wondered if he had managed to read her mind. She could not act so anxiously anymore. She took in a deep breath and asked, “What’s wrong?”Skyler frowned and shook his head. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to tell you that you can always look for me straight away if anyone causes trouble for you. There’s no need for you to look for anyone else!” Jocelyn
Mimi felt even more distraught. “Are you feeling hot? The air conditioner is set at such a low temperature. Is it hot?”Jocelyn was embarrassed and speechless. “Shush! Is there anything else?” She felt closer to Mimi now. Both of them got along like old friends. They had naturally become friends, and they felt completely at ease while interacting with each other casually and naturally. The friendship between women bloomed quickly just like love. It was not easy to find love, but when one realized that they were in love, the person that they loved had already taken up all of their hearts.Mimi pursed her lips and poured a cup of water for herself. She sat down beside Jocelyn and said, “It’s nothing great. I just wanted to tell you that you can come up with random designs for the jewelry that I ordered from you. I’ll like them no matter what they look like! I’ll like them as long as they’re designed by you!” Jocelyn stared at her in a daze without saying anything. Mimi had pa
Yuni was angry as well. “The company was really being unfair in this incident. Also, Mimi Kane is an idiot. She keeps taking Jocelyn’s side. If she did not make it up for the order fees that Jocelyn lost, the company wouldn’t have let Jocelyn off so easily. In my opinion, both of them are equally bad!” Renee cried after hearing what she said. “B*tches, they’re all b*tches! I’m in my current state because of them! What should I do? I can’t take part in the Century Jewelry Competition anymore! I hate them so much! Jocelyn’s a b*tch! I wish that I’m able to rip her into pieces!” There was a dark gaze in Yuni’s eyes. An evil look flashed across her eyes as she said heavily, “I think that the company went overboard by demoting you this time around. Why don’t do something big and end Jocelyn White’s life straight away?!” Yuni made a slashing gesture at her neck as she spoke. Renee stopped crying and asked, “What are you planning to do?” Renee thought that Yuni had come up with
Lexie struggled with all her might. She twisted her hand upwards to grab Yuni’s arm. However, she scratched Yuni’s face instead of grabbing onto her arm. Yuni instantly screamed and loosened her grip on her. She held her face in shock and shouted, “Lexie, you b*tch! How dare you scratch my face!” She looked at her own reflection in the mirror. There were a few bloody scratches on her face. She glared at Lexie like she wished to gobble her up alive. Lexie stood up straight. Her breath was uneven, and she was just about to say something. Yuni felt the blood on her face. Suddenly, she grabbed a vase by the side and threw it toward Lexie.Lexie did not manage to avoid the vase. The vase hit the top of her abdomen. The moment the vase hit her, her abdomen hurt so much that she felt like dying. She clutched her abdomen with all her might. Her face was pale as she glared at Yuni.Yuni cast a murderous gaze at Lexie. Renee did not expect things to progress to such an exte
Yuni was beyond furious, but Renee was holding her back. Her finger trembled as she pointed at Mimi. She shouted at Renee at once, “Let go of me!” Renee frowned and said, “She’s provoking you on purpose! Don’t fall for her tricks!” Mimi had an innocent expression as she continued making Yuni angry. “Yuni Shaw, don’t get angry! You know that I’m cold, and I’m not good with words. If I made you angry by any means, please be more understanding! Don’t get too p*ssed off!” After speaking, she turned around to help Lexie up. She then walked out. “Are you alright, Lexie?” Lexie still did not know who Mimi was. She simply shook her head with a pained expression on her face. As soon as they left the washroom, they ran into Jocelyn, who was rushing over in a hurry. Jim and Davis were following behind her. Jocelyn had called Davis over after receiving Mimi’s text. Jim had come to look for Lexie. When he heard that Lexie was being bullied in the washroom, he came over toget
Davis had a look of exasperation on his face. “Lexie, since when have you become like that? Do you know how important a woman’s face is? If Yuni disfigured your face today, what would you do?”Lexie widened her eyes at Davis. A desperate and suffocated expression filled her cold face. “You chose to believe in her instead of me?” It was evident that Davis did not trust her. Davis frowned and looked at Lexie. “This is not a matter of who I believe in. She’s injured! Don’t you think that you’ve gone overboard?”Besides, her injury was extremely obvious. Lexie fixed a deadly glare at Davis. She then noticed a delighted and mocking smile flash across Yuni’s face. She resisted the urge to cry. A pained and awkward look appeared in her eyes. Her heart felt barren and empty. Davis did not love her. She could convince herself that love was blind. It was not his fault that he did not love her! He was with Yuni now. She could convince herself that they were meant for each other
