Joanna's face was void of color after being berated like this. How could she have forgotten? Zayn had always been a man of his word. When it's about his work, it was always a big no that he could not tolerate anyone questioning his authority or decisions. She had just made a big mistake now by breaking his rules just to make things difficult for Bethany. Zayn simply ignored Joanna and went ahead to introduce the investors to Bethany, “These are the partners of our clothing line and investors of the Oceania project. I brought them here to finally meet you. Their assessment is also required for you to fully become the chief designer of the Oceania project”. ‘Are they really that important?’ Bethany was a little taken aback but she quickly calmed down. Then , she put on a warm smile and greeted them graciously, “Hello ,I'm Bethany Quest, the candidate designer for the ocean project. I would really appreciate your guidance ” Even though she was seated, the tone of her voice a
The next day,Bethany was lost in thought, thinking about how Ella was doing, when, at that very moment, she heard a loud knock on the door of the main office.“Is Miss Bethany here?"Hearing someone call out her name, Bethany quickly came out of her daze and stood up from her workstation. “I'm here"Gael held up his glasses and said in a warm voice, “The high-level meeting has begun, and Mr. Meyer asked me to take you there.” "Alright"Bethany quickly packed up her things with all due seriousness, then she took hold of her briefcase as she walked toward him with her computer in hand.Bethany pretended to stagger as she walked.Looking at her at this moment, it felt as if she was going to fall if care was not taken.Gael was disheartened by this, but in the end, he didn't want to see her fall right when he was around, so he decided to offer her his help.“Let me help you out with the computer,” he said."Thanks for your help.” Bethany didn't notice anything wrong with his attitude, so
Could Joanna not have done it? As she was lost in a daze, thinking about this, Zayn nodded his head slightly and answered, “Go ahead.”“Okay, thank you, Mr. Meyer." Bethany immediately suppressed her suspicion and left the conference room.After she left, Zayn narrowed his eyes and looked at Joanna. “Tell me, do you do this?”Joanna had an incredulous expression on her face as she spoke. "Zayn, do you suspect me as well?”“It's not that I'm suspecting you. I'm only asking because you have targeted her in the past,” Zayn said in a cold, emotionless tone.Joanna clobbered her feet against the floor lightly at his trust; she looked seemingly angry as well. “I admit that I have targeted her before, but it wasn't me who did this. If it was me, why didn't I stop her from going to the surveillance room?”Upon hearing what she said, Zayn lowered his head and was lost in thought for a few seconds.Joanna knew that he was a little swayed by her words. A sinister smile soon broke out on her thin
"Yes.” Bethany hesitated before replying. “That's why I need your help with this, Jenna." Bethany looked at her cute face through the screen. However, as she looked at her, her eyes became more complicated at this point. She had the intention of involving the little girl, but she is the only one who can find out who was responsible for everything within a short time. "Alright, I'll find the person who bullied you, Miss Burnett. I won't let them get away with this." Jenna clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she spoke with a look of determination in her eyes. Hearing this, Bethany blew her a flying kiss. Jenna simply looked at her with a solemn gaze. Just as silence ensued between them, Erica walked into the room carrying a glass of milk and snacks. “Jenna, here are your snacks. Have a bite,” Erica said as she walked into the room. Jenna looked in her direction without saying a word. She stared back at the phone. Then, she kept the phone on the bed and went to the closet to
The two fell into the elevator together, and the elevator door closed at the same time.With a thud, the elevator wobbled vigorously. Bethany fell to the ground of the elevator, and Zayn fell onto her.Both of them looked into each other's eyes, and they were immediately stunned for a while.Bethany looked dumbly at the man in front of her; her mind was clouded with confusion.Zayn was also surprised by the current situation they are in. He lowered his head to look at her red face and her slightly parted lips. His eyes slowly darkened at this.Soon after, Zayn came back to his senses and quickly moved away as he tried to get up from on top of Bethany.After standing up, he settled himself before saying in a deep voice, “I'm sorry. I was rude to you just now."“It's... it's okay." Bethany also heaved herself up from the floor.Then she replied to him in a weak, low voice and didn't dare to look at him.She could feel that her heartbeat was pounding particularly fast at this point, and h
"What are you saying?" Joanna acted as though she could not comprehend a thing. Bethany squinted her brown eyes, "You know fully well what I am saying. It may look like Ella did this but you are the mastermind. You told her to do so”. The day before when Zayn finished inspecting the design department and was about to leave, Joanna cough towards her direction. At that time, Bethany was confused by Joanna's action, but it all fell into place when she saw the surveillance records, it was Joanna motioning for Ella to head out. Joanna probably instructed Ella to mess with her design at this moment. " You are saying I told her to so that? Have you got any proof?” Joanna crossed her arm and laughed as though she had just heard the funniest joke ever. Bethany fixed her air and said calmly, "I don't have any proof, that is why when you threw a glance at Ella, I didn't expose you Joanna was too good at concealing herself; she didn't leave a trace that she was involved. Things could turn a
When she woke up the next morning, she found herself in Zayn's embrace and felt unsettled. She quickly Composed herself and eased herself out of his embrace trying not to wake him up in the process otherwise she would have a hard time explaining the situation."Hoof.." She exclaimed in relief and picked up her shoes and left.Zayn woke up soon after she left. He was still feeling drowsy and realized that he was covered in a pink-colored blanket. He picked up the blanket and went to the bathroom to wash up. By the time he was out of the bathroom, his phone had been vibrating non-stop on the coffee table.Zayn dried his hair as he answered the call, "What's up?"Mr. Meyer, you were right. It was Bent who wanted old Mr. Meyer's burial ground." Gael reported.Zay narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's his objective?“According to the person I sent to survey the land, there may be crystal ores beneath the burial ground.”"Crystal ores? Zayn paused for a moment and then scoffed, "So that's t
