The meeting room was on the seventh floor.

The only way there was to take the elevator.

As Bryan, who originally looked a little tensed saw them, he could only pretend to be relaxed.

He straightened up, tidied up his suit, and calmly said, "This work belongs to Reed Defiant. We are fully prepared."

"Really? Let's wait and see."

Mrs. Bailey glanced at me with her eyes full of contempt.

The elevator came just in time.

The four of us went up together.

On the seventh floor, people were already seated in the conference room. I looked around and found most of them unfamiliar however, a few of them were familiar.

One was the manager of Haick Designer and the other was Evangel.

It was understandable that the manager of Haick Design was here and Evangel being Dave's assistant, I couldn't figure out why he was here.

The meeting would begin at 9 a.m. and it was only 8:30 a.m.

Trish and I sat on the side respectively.

Bryan kept asking me in a whisper, "Do you have confidence or not? Are you sur

    When he walked in, all the executives, especially Bailey, rushed to the front to greet him.Dave came in and asked about the general situation.Everyone started to scold me heatedly since they ascertained I was the one who had plagiarised Trish's work.According to them, I, who was shameless, disgraced Mitaka Group and that I was the loser among the designers, and so on.Their words sounded harsh. They used all the words they could think of and assumed appropriate to scold me.Dave listened on. Although he didn't look at me, he deeply furrowed his eyebrows. His face was terribly cold and his black eyes were filled with deep unhappiness.The group of executives next to him were all shrewd. Seeing Dave in a bad mood, they said a few more words and waited for him to pass his judgement.Dave finally looked at me and said, "Tell me. Whose work is it?""I'm the one who made it. That's my work."Dave should be more clear about it. At that time, he and I lived together and he had watched me

    Hannah and Trish who were standing at the door watched me hang up the phone.I then said, "Ms. Bailey, Ms. Smith, please wait a moment."Trish said, "Reed Defiant, our time is precious."She had already accepted I could no longer find any other evidence. When she spoke, she was full of vigor."Just for a moment. My friend got new evidence."As soon as I finished my words, Trish's face became a little pale. She looked at me and said unhappily, "Don't waste everyone's time.""Since you've all come here and most of your time have been wasted, why would you wanna leave before the end?" I looked at the people around me. "I think everyone else also wants to know who the design really belongs to."I didn't know what Haick was going to do but I had absolute trust in him.I knew Trish was already feeling guilty when she said, "We don't have so much time to watch you make a scene.""Sit down. Let's see what she got."Trish was unwilling to stay but Hannah wasn't afraid. She pulled Trish back to

    Dave glanced at everyone present coldly.With his hands in his pockets, he said word by word, "If what happened here today is spread out, I won't track down the source but I guarantee that all of you can't hang around in this industry again."After he said that, he walked over to me and said, "Let's go."I was in an extremely complicated mood and I wasn't in any mood to say anything to Dave."Thank you, Mr. Mitaka." That was all I said before taking my stuffs and walking out the conference room.I could hear the sound of Dave's heel hitting the floor as he walked behind me at a faster pace.I quickened my pace and arrived at the front of the elevator in no time. The elevator was on the last floor and it would take a couple of minutes for it to get to my floor. Thinking about Dave catching up to me if I waited, I could only helplessly take the stairs.As soon as I stepped down, Dave caught up with me and hugged me with his one hand.I was so angry that I struggled and pushed him away.

    After Lita was helped up by Dave, she looked at me and immediately explained to Dave, "I'm sorry. I can't even stand properly."I thought she was about to say it wasn't me who had pushed her down.I couldn't fathom what she was on about.Dave patted the dirt off her body and shook his head, "Why are you here? Didn't the doctor say you're not allowed to go around?""I... I just don't recall what you look like when you are at work so I came to see you. I didn't expect to meet Reed."Lita stood next to Dave. She was shorter, which made her look like a tender and delicate woman. As they stood together, it was a beautiful scene.Why am I still standing here?I turned around to leave just then I heard Lita's voice behind me, "Reed, let's have lunch together."Hehe.I turned to look at them. Dave, who had been staring at Lita, finally looked at me but the way he looked at me was different from that he looked at Lita.He wasn't distressed when he looked at me.It makes sense. After all, I am

    "Haick." Before he could say something more, I interrupted him, "Haick, do you think that the relationship between me and Dave just started from the moment I married him on behalf of Lita?""Isn't that so?" Haick was stunned.I shook my head gently, calmed myself down, and said slowly, "No, I love Dave. I have been in love with him for many years. The first time I met him, I was ten years old..."I sat next to Haick and told Haick everything about my first encounter with Dave as well as my persistence over those years.Besides Kim, only Haick knew about this.Haick sat there and listened on.He let go of my hand and lowered his head then I heard a self deprecating sneer."I came to you too late."“...I'm sorry, he hurt me so many times and I tried getting him off my mind and heart but I couldn't."If I could, I hoped strongly that the person I loved was Haick. In that case, at least, I wouldn't have to work so hard.Haick listened to me and nodded. "I know.""I'm sorry."Originally, I

    "Miss Defiant, although Mr. Grimm was on the verge of death when he was sent here, his last words were to you.""What do you mean by saying his lasts words were to me? Since he was on the evrge of dying, why didn't you save him? Why??"Since he wasn't dead when he was brought here, why was he dead now?"He knew you'll surely come." The doctor looked at me and paused, "He said he loved you and if there is a next life, he will meet you early."I looked at the doctor and couldn't say a word as tears flowed down the corner of my eyes.My heart hurt so much."Come with me."The doctor waved at me.I raised my feet and followed him to the underground sector of the hospital.It was chilling here than it was above.The doctor then led me to the door of the morgue, opened the door, and waved to me.I walked over and looked inside.The hospital here was small and there was only one bed inside.A person was lying on it and his height seemed to be a little shorter than Haick's. Haick was taller

    At this moment, I opened my eyes.At a glance, I knew I was in the hospital.Everything that had happened just now was a dream.A nurse came in, "You are up.""What... what's wrong with me?"I thought about it carefully. I chased after the doctor and asked him to check on Haick. Later, I was injected with a shot...The nurse explained, "You were too hyped. We gave you a sedative."I looked at her in a daze and thought of Haick, "Where is Haick? How is he?""His parents are already here. They are preparing to take his body back. If you go out now, you'll probably see him one last time."They are going to take his body away...Without any deliberation, I put on my shoes and ran out.It was probably because of the sedative that I was still a little dizzy. When running, I kept bumping into others but I couldn't care.When I arrived at the door, I saw a big van parked outside with about seven or eight people standing next to it.I recognized Haick's parents at a glance.They also saw me.W

    "Mr. Bryan, the person who proved the work is mine is dead and it's all because of me. I killed him."Tears fell from the corner of my eyes as I mentioned this."He is dead?" Bryan seemed to be stunned over the phone, "Why... What happened?""Yes, so I don't want to participate in the finals."After that, I hung up.When Kim heard I was on the phone, she came out to ask, "What's the matter?"I said flatly, "I'm fine but I'm not going to take part in the finals."Hearing this, Kim was stunned for a second and then came over. She patted my face and said, "Sis, are you crazy? To prove that you didn't copy anyone else's work so you could enter the final, it was Haick who cleared your name with his life. He is dead and you decide to give it up now? Should his death be in vain?""I..."I, who had been in a mess for so many days, felt somewhat sobered upon hearing Kim's words.Yes, Haick used his life to prove my innocence. How can I give up the finals?I quickly picked up my cell phone. W

    At the mention of Teresa, Finn's attitude was different from Katy's. He seemed to have no idea about Teresa's heartlessness.He looked at me and said, "Reed, it was my fault. I shouldn't have flirted with Jessica because I was married. But, but I really couldn't control myself. During that ime, I really loved her, even now I..."Finn didn't go on, but his face was full of regret.I narrowed my eyes and looked at him. Then I sneered, Mr. Finn, do you have a dead brain? Or do you have a bad memory? A few months ago, you dropped a card and said you wanted to draw a line to keep your distant from us. Don't you remember?""You cheated my mother's feelings and took her to the City. She was a healthy person before, but she was driven crazy by your wife, who is a vixen. The Newman family didn't accept her, and I grew up in a family that didn't love me. How can you be so shameless to call me daughter?"Originally, my mood was very calm.

    Pigs might fly. Katy came to meet me!When I saw her, I didn't think much and turned to leave. Katy saw me and rushed out, "Alina, I'm here for you."Her voice was loud, and several colleagues looked over. However, I had no intention of entering the meeting room. Standing at the door, I looked at her with a little vigilance and sked, "Mrs. Katy, I don't think I have anything to do with you. What can I do for you?"Looking at my attitude, Katy was not angry at all. She said with a smile, "Come in. I have something to tell you.""Let's talk about it here. After all, we haven't gotten on well before. What if you hit yourself and blame it on me?" I said.There was CCTV in the conference room but I said so on purpose.In fact, I am not afraid that Katy will hit me. I am afraid that I can't help hitting her.Hearing this, Katy was a little embarrassed."No, no, come in, I'll only talk with you." She seemed to be afraid that I wouldn't go in, so she added, "Do I have to beg you."Beg me?

    Bryan had been treated for a week.The fever had also subsided, and his vitals had also stabilized.These days, it's Janice who delivered food to me and Bryan.Today, Janice sent food again. There were vegetables, ribs, fish soup, and rice.Bryan's appetite recovered well, and he ate a big bowl of food in a short time.After the meal, I found that the weather outside was good, so I wanted to check with the doctor to see if I could take Bryan out for a walk.The doctor checked Bryan and agreed.Janice went to the backyard of the hospital with me.There was a small garden in the backyard, surrounded by many benches. Other patients were sitting on benches, basking in the sun."Miss Jetson."When I was walking with Bryan, someone called me from behind.I looked back and saw that it was Eunice."Miss Eunice?"I was a little surprised, so I quickly let Janice take care of Bryan and walked over to Eunice.Eunice wore a cloth hat. I could see at a glance that there seemed to be no hair under

    Desmond's face turned pale. "No, that was before I met you, I really haven't messed with anyone since I met you, I swear...""Really? I've seen several of them. Next time, if you want to deceive me, make drafts first."Kim's face was full of mockery.I could see Desmond was sweating. Не showed a pleasing smile on his face, put his palms together and winked at me.I knew that he was asking me to help.I tugged at Kim's arm and said, "Alright, a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold. Forgive him for the mistakes he made before.""That's right! They are previous mistakes!" Hearing my words, Desmond immediately cast a grateful look at me.He also put on an expression of gratitude.Kim couldn't stand it. She looked at Desmond and said, "I forgive you because my Reed said to. If you dare to do it again, I'll break your leg!""Which one?""Both!""I don't dare, I won't!"They left joking.I watched them get into the elevator. I felt half of my worries had been put to rest.The othe

    I looked at Oogway and didn't know how to answer for a while.He turned to look at the ward and said, "I'm no longer young. I can distinguish what I am obsessed with."Although he didn't look at me, I could tell from his expression that he was serious.Which made me sure that what he had clung to was really not like what I thought.I also followed his gaze and looked into the ward.In the ward, Bryan was looking at us.When he found that I was looking at him, he forced a smile and waved at me.I waved back.When I thought of Bryan being fine soon, my heart, which had been hanging, gradually relieved.Oogway must have seen our interaction, so he let out a chuckle.When I turned my head to look at him, he happened to look at me as well.He leaned forward slightly and asked seriously, "Do you know why Dave agreed to marry the Defiant Family?"I was a little confused by him for mentioning this.Oogway saw through my doubts and continued, "Because I found Lita and told her about what happe

    Oogway looked at me, and his eyes were cold.For the sake of Bryan, I couldn't care so much. I took the man's arm and said in a friendly tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't go to the bar again. Please forgive me."Oogway looked at me saying nothing.I didn't know what he meant.I stared at him quietly and didn't know what to do next.What else does he want me to do?My mind wandered, but I was already fully prepared for anything that could happen.After a while, Oogway put the ring in his pocket, stood up and said, "Let's go.""OK!"I thought he had forgiven me, so I hurried to follow him.We sat in his car together.The smell of alcohol lingered in his car.I was a little embarrassed but I didn't say anything.Oogway started the car and drove out of the community.The car drove for a while before I noticed that it didn't seem to be heading toward the City Hall, so I got nervous again and looked at Oogway, "Where are we going?""To pick up Bryan."He kept his eyes on the road as

    Oogway picked me up and carried me into the car. I looked at him as he started the engine. I grabbed his arm and said, "I don't want to go home.""You don't?" He raised his eyebrows slightly."If I go back like this, they will be worried. Please help me... Call Kelvin and tell him I'll not go home today."I was so drunk. They will be worried about me if I went back. After all, I would not drink for no reason.Oogway nodded. I sat in the passenger seat and listened to him call Kelvin.When he hung up, he handed me the phone and started the car, "Is it okay to go to our home?"Our home?Oh, I know where it is.I nodded.I was going to be his wife anyway. That place was going to be our home in the future.I wouldn't be able to escape the reality.After a while, I fell asleep dazedly. However, maybe it was because I was in Oogway' car, I didn't sleep too deep.Not knowing how long had passed, I felt the car had stopped and he carried me.It was pitch black in front of me. I opened my e

    In the evening, even the most prosperous place in the City was quiet. Around the high office buildings, there were only a few lights that were still on.I drove to the gate of Mitaka Group.I got out of the car and went to the entrance.The entrance had been closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard came over and said, "It's closed."I looked up at the large building, except for the security room lights being on, the whole building was all dark.It seemed that Towering High was very kind to the employees, and there was not even a person working overtime.I didn't know what I wanted to do here. I hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.Back in the car, I continued driving.Finally, I found a lively place.On both sides of the road, rows of luxury cars were parked. At the entrance, the young men and women dressed in various kinds of clothes were chatting at the door, and some people were vomiting in the tree pits.Liquor.I wanted to drink.Perhaps if I was drunk, I would

    Oogway put his arm around my waist and said to Teresa, "Miss Teresa, you are also a famous lady in this City. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Alina. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing for?"He made Teresa's face turn pale in a few words.She stared at Oogway and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says? Tell you what, Oogway, she and Dave love each other no matter where they are!""Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"Oogway asked her.Teresa looked at Oogway and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"Hearing what Teresa said, Oogway's face was still calm.He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table, looked at Teresa and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"Teresa suddenly became speech
