Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 1291 - Bab 1300

James glanced at him. “Too? Does that mean your girlfriend’s also a jewelry designer, President Conrad?”Calvin smiled. “Yes, she is.”“Well, wouldn’t you consider this meeting as fate bringing us together? If we could work together, it’d be the cherry on top,” James said.“That’s still up for discussion.” Calvin wasn’t so easily swayed.“Naturally,” James said.At this moment, Calvin’s phone pinged. It was a message from someone at Fernandez Public Relations, saying there would be an emergency meeting to deal with a picketing issue.He frowned and quietly told Neil about this. “I have to be there.”Neil knew pickets and strikes weren’t to be trifled with, so he said, “Go on.”“Sorry, President Addaway, but I have to attend an emergency meeting,” Calvin said.After that, he left.“Was President Conrad in such a hurry to leave because he wanted to see his girlfriend?” James said teasingly.“You jest, President Addaway. Calvin’s not the type to do something like that,” Neil sa

Ashlyn thought it over and decided to keep the truth to herself. “No! It has nothing to do with me.”“Does he know who you are?”“I don’t think so. I didn’t say anything about that to him.”Neil figured that just because she didn’t say anything didn’t mean Francis didn’t. Of course, there was also a chance nobody said anything.However, there was one thing he was sure about—James knew who Ashlyn was, and he was obviously interested in her. He didn’t want Neil and Calvin to think he was trying to steal her, so he pretended not to know she was a member of the Lawrence family and also Calvin’s girlfriend. He knew he would be detested for chasing after someone else’s girlfriend. All he did was “accidentally” let slip that there was something between him and Ashlyn, so that they’d know they were acquainted.James was great at playing these games!“Is he in Genovia?” Ashlyn asked.“Yeah. He came to negotiate a business deal with us.”“Don’t agree to work with him! He’s a total scumba

Ashlyn flipped through her books and the information she had gathered on Madam Addaway while waiting for James to contact her. She couldn’t help feeling anxious; she would have to keep amending the designs if he wasn’t happy with them, and there had been cases of designers working on the same case for six months to a year. In fact, there were even cases of clients eventually pulling out of the deal because they weren’t happy with the designs. If she hadn’t accepted the job, she couldn’t care less about it. But now that she was in charge, she had to give it her best.At around 11:30 p.m., James sent her several photos of different accessories.James: [These are photos of my mother’s rings for you to see the style she normally goes for. You need to design something with a story so that the piece has some soul. My mother didn’t have any children before the age of forty, and only gave birth to three daughters after adopting me. She’s sacrificed a lot for her family; she may not be highly

The car stopped before Ashlyn. When she saw Calvin get out of the car, she immediately threw her arms around him and smiled sweetly. “I missed you so much!”She had so many things to tell him, and didn’t notice there was someone else in the car.“What’s wrong?” Calvin asked.“I just really, really missed you,” Ashlyn said. “Everything’s fine now that you’re here.”“Go ahead and drop President Addaway off at Francis’ office,” Calvin said to the chauffeur.When Ashlyn heard Calvin say “President Addaway”, she glanced at the car. Only then did she notice James sitting in the car, looking out the window, though not at her. She immediately frowned. “What are you doing with him?”Calvin smiled. “What has he done to you to make you look so angry?”“Let’s not talk about him.” She dragged him away.James glanced at the rearview mirror as the car drove off and watched the young couple cling to each other. He read Ashlyn’s lips and knew that she was telling Calvin she missed him. Aside fr

“Do you think I came all the way here to have you design these pieces for fun? Who do you think you are, brushing me off with this rubbish?” James sounded stern. “Madam Addaway is the symbol of the hardships the Addaway family had to endure before attaining the wealth and status it has now. What are you trying to play at, designing a four-leaf clover on the ring? What does it represent? I selected you to design these pieces because I trusted you, but all you’ve done is throw a tantrum. This is a professional setting!”Ashlyn gritted her teeth and broke out in a cold sweat.“I’m sorry!” she said in a small voice.She had to admit he was right. As a jewelry designer, she hadn’t done her homework and had thrown something together to brush him off because she was pissed at him for taking her ring away.“This is the Addaway Family’s history. Take it and read it!” James handed her a booklet.Ashlyn looked at it and accepted it. She knew families like his with long histories had plenty o
