Her Precious Baby

Chapter 285

“I don't like to restrict the creativity of my designs. I'll hand in the drafts on time, but I hope you won't interfere with the designing process.”

Angeline's expression darkened, and she could not help but hesitate.

From an outsider's perspective, she admired an independent designer like Joel.

However, she was the leader of Forrester Group. She must put the benefits of the group above everything else.

Joel noticed that Angeline felt troubled. He took out a thick portfolio and handed it to her. “This is my portfolio. You can review it first.”

Angeline flashed him a heartfelt smile.

She opened the portfolio and flipped through the pages to see many colorfill and floral designs. She got more surprised as she flipped through each page.

Joel had chosen to stay at such a secluded yet beautiful place to distance himself from the concept of expensive spending in the city, yet liis designs had a certain uniqueness.

Angeline skimmed through the portfolio and could not help but be filled with admiration.

“All right. Welcome to Forrester Group, Mr. Quinn.”

She held out a hand to Joel.

In her heart, a voice reminded her that Joel was indeed the designer that she wanted and he could bring her profits through liis designs.

“Mm.”

Joel's expression was as dull as ever as he shook Angeline's hand.

At that moment, Evander lugged a suitcase and strode toward them from the airport entrance.

He wore sunglasses that covered half of liis face, but they could not conceal liis charming aura.

He attracted the attention of many surrounding women. They whispered among themselves. No one knew what they were discussing.

Angeline was surprised to see that, but frustration soon filled her.

This isn't fair. Some people only need to appear to attract everyone’s attention!

Wlien she saw that he was walking toward her, she asked. “Evander? Are you on this flight too?”

“Yes.” Evander's tone was indifferent as he looked at her. A hint of anger could be seen in his eyes.

Angeline subconsciously lowered her head as she felt guilty.

She had been swamped after her discharge from the hospital. She did not notify Evander before making her own decision.

However, she did not think that what she did was wrong. With my relationship with Evander now, I don't think I need to report everything to him, right?

Angeline's eyes dimmed.

“Mr. Golding, what a coincidence. Let's board the plane before the gate closes.”

Evander turned to look at Joel, and they locked eyes for a moment. Dangerous intent flashed past liis eyes.

“Mr. Quinn, you changed your mind so soon?” Evander asked in a deep voice. His tone was cold and laced with sarcasm.

Joel's grip on liis plane ticket tightened as he noticed the agitation in Evander's eyes.

“Ms. Sorelie is so sincere. How could I refuse her kindness?”

“I hope you're only going there for work.” Evander's words had different meanings. “Mr. Quinn, I believe you're a smart man.”

Joel could feel the threat behind his words. His lips slightly curved upward, and he smirked.

He tightened his grip on liis suitcase and turned to walk into the boarding hall alone.

Angeline looked at liis retreating figure, and her eyes were filled with worry. She elbowed Evander before saying, “Hey, what did you talk about with Joel at the hospital? Why did he suddenly hit you?”

Evander looked at her and answered placidly, “Why should I tell you?”

He took Angeline's suitcase from her and brushed past her.

Angeline stood rooted to her spot. Her face turned ashen at liis words.

What a petty man. Is it because I didn't tell him that I was discharged? Now he's just taking revenge by doing the same. Whatever.

I don't care if he doesn't want to tell me. It's not like I really want to know.

The flight took more than twelve hours before Angeline and the others arrived in Hallsbay.

It was already eight o'clock at night when they arrived, and there weren't many people at the airport. At first glance. Angeline noticed Nancy holding hands with Sebastian, who had a banner in his other hand.

The banner was written in Ustranasion: Welcome home, Mr. Quinn!

Joel's expression softened, but liis tone was still harsh. “She's the same as she was when we were in school. How childish.”

Angeline chuckled. “It seems that you know her quite well. She's very excited to welcome you. She told me she would be here when we were boarding.”

Joel kept quiet and only raised his eyebrow. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

Nancy brought Sebastian over to welcome them. She reached out and pulled Joel into her warm embrace.

“Joel, welcome back. I was wondering if you had become a caveman.”

Joel wrapped his arms around her and answered without hesitation. “Nancy, if you were better at talking, you would've already gotten yourself a boyfriend.”

“You...” Nancy felt hurt and punched liis chest. “Jerk.” However, she forgave him after rolling her eyes at him. She smiled as she said, “Let's not stand here anymore. I made a reservation at a restaurant. Let's go there.”

“Wait.” Angeline stopped them. She then turned to look at the hatch of the plane.

Evander. who had gotten off the plane with them, looked more lonely. Only Sylas was there to welcome him.

“Mi\ Golding.”

Sylas hurried forward and respectfrilly took Evander's suitcase from him.

“Mm,” Evander answered. His expression was cold as usual. “How's the company?”

“On the surface, everything is going well. However, Hubert has started to take action against the company. I heard he fired several employees and hired a few of his men to become spies.”

Evander's expression turned as black as thunder. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Let's go back to the company and have a meeting.”

Although Angeline was standing beside Joel, she was observing Evander's situation. Wlien she noticed that he was hurrying to leave, she could not help but call out to him, “Evander. how about Floretta...”

Upon hearing that. Evander stopped and turned to look at Sebastian, who was eagerly staring at him but did not dare to approach him. He replied in a low voice, “I'll let Francesca know. You guys can go visit Floretta.”

With that, he left the airport with no time to waste.

Sebastian's eyes sparkled in excitement as he jumped up and down when he heard the news.

Angeline breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to hug him as she comforted him gently.
