Chapter 105
Jocelyn was stunned. A complicated glint flashed across her eyes as she instinctively retorted, “I don’t know him!”
Skyler felt that Jocelyn’s reaction was rather odd. “You said that a little too quickly!”
Jocelyn calmed down a little and said, “I just heard about him back in university. After all, he was very popular back then!”
Skyler’s gaze flashed. “Is that so?”
Jocelyn remained silent.
She could not bring herself to admit that she liked Walter, and she had been humiliated by his fiancée once!
Everything was in the past. That had nothing to do with her anymore! This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Jocelyn remained silent for a while and placed the original draft in her hands on Skyler’s office desk. “President Moore, this is the original design draft that I wanted to submit to the Dawnlight Jewelry Competition. I’ve completed it!”
Skyler took the draft and glanced at it. “It’s not bad!”
Jocelyn thought about Millie. Suddenly, she did not feel like getting revenge on her.
She asked Skyler, “Millie… didn’t get arrested, right?”
Skyler frowned and asked, “Do you feel bad for her?”
Jocelyn looked at his expression. She knew that he had misunderstood her.
She shook her head and said, “I’m not such a martyr. I won’t feel bad for her when she has schemed against me. However, it won’t be of any help if we get rid of Millie without finding the mastermind behind everything.”
Skyler’s gaze flashed “Millie has been fired. Her life has nothing to do with me. Meanwhile, as for the person behind all of this, you insist on believing in Abel. In that case, I’ll continue investigating to present you with convincing results!”
Jocelyn spoke genuinely, “Thank you, President Moore!”
Skyler hufted lightly and said, “You don’t need to thank me. Just keep your distance from Abel Caini
Jocelyn pursed her lips and ined to explain things. However, when she recalled everything that had happened in the afternoon, she did not know how to talk about it at all
After that, she thought about how Michael had threatened to destroy her mother’s letter She wanted to tell Skyler about it
After all, Michael wanted Lily to join Prosperity Jewelry She could not hide this from Skyler.
However, she had just opened her mouth when Skyler frowned impatiently and asked, “Why are you still standing here? Are you waiting for me to get up and walk you out?”
Jocelyn’s chest tightened. She wanted to speak up, but she stopped herself from saying anything. Finally, she glanced at Skyler and said, “President Moore, I’m going!”
After Jocelyn left, Skyler stared at his office door and unwrapped a mint. He popped the mint in his mouth as an annoyed expression flashed across his eyes.
He sensed that he was always in a bad mood when he faced Jocelyn. This was not a good sign.
He had to control himself!
Jocelyn could also sense that Skyler seemed to dislike her. In the next few days, she would try her best to minimize the number of times she interacted with him alone.
In the morning, she woke up early and left the house. After work in the evening, she had dinner before returning to Villa No. 1. She would head into her room and stay inside after returning home.
Skyler purposely kept his distance from her as well. Both of them lived together, but they did not see each other for several consecutive days.
Michael called her to ask her about the progress of things today.
“Jocelyn, have you told President Moore about Lily joining Prosperity Jewelry?” Michael was impatient from waiting. The tone of his voice was tinged with anger.
Jocelyn frowned and said, “I need to find a suitable opportunity to tell him about this. It’s still not time right now!”
Michael was instantly outraged. “What do you mean by the right timing? Jocelyn, stop playing tricks in front of me. Did you think that you’d be able to get the letter from me if you delay things? Let me tell you this. I won’t give in even if Skyler comes to take it from me himself. If you want to get the letter, you can only do as I say!”
I can
Jocelyn was beyond angered as well. “Father, can you think logically? I’m not so shameless to the extent that I’ll arrange for my half-sister to enter Prosperity Jewelry after joining the company myself!”
Michael sneered and said, “Stop saying such nonsense. Be logical. Aren’t you and Skyler married? I don’t believe that he won’t approve of such a small thing for your sake!”
Jocelyn shut her eyes and said, “Our relationship isn’t how you think it is!”
Michael thought about Lily’s current situation. He raised the pitch of his voice. “I don’t care how your relationship is! I just want Lily to join Prosperity Jewelry. I’ll give you a week. One week! I’ll burn the letter if you don’t manage to do it!”
Michael hung up on the call after speaking,
Jocelyn stared at her phone. Her mood sank. She did not expect Michael to be in such a hurry. Why was he suddenly in such a rush?
Jocelyn had a dark expression on her face as she returned to the design department angrily.
However, Fiona blocked her way when she was about to return to her desk.
She walked left, and Fiona walked left as well.
She walked right, and Fiona raised her chin in a challenging manner as she walked right as well.
Jocelyn was already in a terrible mood. She glared at Fiona with an unpleasant look on her face. She shouted, “Go away!”
Fiona’s expression changed slightly. “What can you do if I don’t make way for you?”
Jocelyn had a dark expression on her face. “Obedient dogs don’t block others’ ways. Haven’t you heard of this saying before?”
Fiona’s expression darkened as she gritted her teeth and said, “Jocelyn White, why are you being so full of yourself? You won’t be able to get any awards this time around! Let me tell you this. If you keep behaving so haughtily, you might meet your end soon!”
Fiona turned around and left after speaking.
Jocelyn’s gaze flashed after hearing what she said. She grabbed Fiona’s arm and fixed a sharp glare upon her. “How did you know that I won’t be able to get any awards this time around?”
