Chapter 110
Jocelyn stiffened as her face paled.
She looked at Skyler in disbelief. She felt extremely awkward. She did not expect Skyler to blurt out such words.
She knew that Skyler was unhappy that she had insisted on refusing to let him punish Giada in the afternoon. He must have thought that she was a joke. However, even so, he could just have told her that he did not want to help her. Why must he humiliate her like that?
Jocelyn gritted her teeth as her eyes turned red-rimmed. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Her pride would not allow her to lower herself to beg for Skyler’s help.
She took in a deep breath and tried her best not to lose her composure. “Right, Mr. Moore. You’re right. There isn’t any relationship between us. I was way too full of myself. There’s no reason for you to help me out, Mr. Moore. I was being rash. Let me apologize. In the future, I won’t cross the line anymore. I’m sorry!”
After speaking, Jocelyn walked upstairs hurriedly. Skyler was stunned. He did not know what he had just said.
He felt slightly regretful after noticing the awkward expression on Jocelyn’s face. When Jocelyn walked past him, he reached out to grab her arm without even thinking it through
Jocelyn raised the pitch of her voice. She said in an awkward and enraged tone, “Mr. Moore, let go of me!”
Whitie started meowing loudly. It usually let out soft sounds, but it sounded rather fierce right now.
It grabbed the cuff of Skyler’s pants and scratched him with all its might.
Skyler let go of her instinctively. He shouted, “Jocelyn!”
Jocelyn turned around to look at him. “Mr. Moore, I know my own place now. Please stop reminding me!”
Skyler’s expression stiffened. Jocelyn had already walked upstairs swiftly.
After Jocelyn left, Whitie ran toward a corner of the house.
Skyler shut his eyes and stood on the spot. There was a hint of distress on the usual cold expression plastered across his face. He had drunk too much just now… He really did not mean anything that he had said just now! He was simply in a bad mood! However, would Jocelyn listen to him if he tried to explain things now? Skyler shook his head in annoyance and drank a cup of cold water.
After taking a shower, he unwrapped a mint and sat on the mat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He started regretting everything that he had told Jocelyn downstairs just now.
He was angry at Jocelyn for the decision that she had made at Jubilee Club today.
However, he knew just how determined Jocelyn was. She had rejected his offer to help her out when she was going against Howard and Lily back then.
Given how she had taken the initiative to ask him for help, she must have encountered real trouble this time around.
However, Jocelyn would never ask him for help ever again after everything that he had told her just now.
The next day, Skyler asked Yale to investigate if Jocelyn had encountered any problems lately as soon as he arrived in the office.
The news about Jocelyn winning the grand prize in the Dawnlight Jewelry Competition spread out in the design department. Everyone congratulated Jocelyn whereas Fiona was the only one with an unpleasant expression on her face. She did not expect Jocelyn’s design draft to survive even after she spent so much effort convincing Giada and setting things up for her. Besides, Giada had stopped coming to work ever since yesterday. She finally found out that she had been fired today!
Fiona watched as everyone surrounded Jocelyn and congratulated her. She felt infuriated as she gritted her teeth in jealousy. She comforted herself and told herself that she could not hurry. She would definitely be able to find an opportunity to ruin Jocelyn’s reputation and kick her out of the design department.
She would only be able to become the best designer by kicking Jocelyn out of the design department. Davis would definitely start paying attention to her.
Just then, Davis called Jocelyn into his office. Fiona fixed a sharp gaze upon her. It was as if she were shooting lasers through Jocelyn through her gaze.
Jocelyn felt rather uncomfortable. She suddenly turned around, and Fiona looked away at once.
Although Jocelyn had won the only grand prize in the competition, she could not bring herself to feel any joy.
Michael had sent her a text to urge her on early in the morning today. He even sent her a photo of the first two lines of the letter.
Jocelyn got more confirmation that her mother had written that letter to her. She felt rather Panicked. She did not pay attention when Davis talked to her. Davis wanted her to participate in the Greene City’s Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition. She would have to take a business trip over there as the competition required the contestants to complete their designs in person. Jocelyn nodded. There seemed to be a lot on her mind. Davis could not help but frown. “Jocelyn, are you alright?”
Jocelyn came to her senses and shook her head at once. “I’m fine!”
Davis glanced at her and said, “Look for President Moore after you’re done. The information about the upcoming competition is with him. He asked you to get the documents from him when you’re free!” Jocelyn was stunned. There was an awkward expression on her face. “Can you help me out?” After everything that Skyler had told her yesterday, she was afraid that she would feel worse if she saw him right now.
Davis read her mind at once. “You don’t want to see President Moore?”
Jocelyn had a rather unnatural expression on her face. She came up with a random excuse.” President Moore is way too strict. I’d feel anxious if I have to meet him face-to-face!”
Davis nodded and said, “You’re right. Although President Moore is only one year older than me, I was rather afraid of him when I first started working with him. However, you don’t need to be overly anxious. President Moore appreciates talent. He won’t make things difficult for you as long as you’re truly skilled!”
“Besides, you can’t always avoid President Moore if you’re working in Prosperity Jewelry! Furthermore, President Moore has once accompanied our company’s contestant over to the competition venue of the Ocean Heart Jewelry Competition. He understands the situation over there more. You should find out more about the competition from him!” Davis said earnestly as he looked at Jocelyn.
Jocelyn knew that she had to head over to Skyler’s office after hearing what he said. Jocelyn pondered upon it for some time before heading to the highest floor. She was just about to knock on the door when the door opened from the inside.
