Chapter 33
Mo Nianchen, You’re Doing It On Purpose!
On the other side of the room, Jian Dan’s hands were still shaking as she poured coffee out of the teapot. Why did she say something like that? The competition itself was an embarrassment to her no matter how it would turn out. She did not expect Willis to not interfere. What surprised her even more was that Li Shengxia actually took upon the challenge. That placed her in an awkward position!
Nonetheless, she had no choice but to act cool about the situation!
Ha, how could she allow herself to be around a woman that betrayed her own body for personal gains?
Would that rookie stand a chance? Hahaha, dream on! She was the top-grade designer that had defeated countless experts!
In spite of that, doubt overtook her in the next second…
She had, after all, gained her fame with just one creation back in the days…
No!
Li Shengxia would never make it! She joined the company through personal connections, she was not capable at all! She would never triumph! Impossible!
The woman was completely unaware that the coffee had overflowed and burned her hand.
In actuality, Li Shengxia was not any better in comparison. Having suffered from anxiety all day, she appeared in a trance by the time she left work.
Mo Nianchen parked his car in the VIP car park slightly further from the company because of their agreement to not publicize their relationship. She had to walk a small distance every day to get to his car.
Simultaneously, the man was leaning against the door of the luxury car, both his hands in the pockets. He appeared as if he were waiting for her.
He opened the door for her once she approached.
She put on a sullen look since she entered the car.
“Did something upset you?” In fact, he already learned about the incident that happened at work today, but he wished to hear it from herself.
Designing had always been a childhood dream of hers. He knew she would not give up on it easily now that he had given her the chance. However, he would not meddle in her work affairs, as she had wished.
This time, he gave her the option to decide.
However, she only shook her head and simply replied, “Nope.”
His fingers clasped around the steering wheel suddenly. “Are you sure?” he said in a cold manner. His right palm was lightly bandaged but the trace of blood was still visible.
She tensed up as she sensed the gleam of cold light flashing across the rearview mirror. “Yup,” she replied with a quick nod.
Perhaps the man would decide to meddle in the affair if he learned about the incident. However, that would only result in either her or Jian Dan being immediately dismissed from the design department.
Li Shengxia did not want to be looked down upon by Jian Dan, thinking she was only a low woman who gained special favors at work because of men. She wished to prove her worth and to show that she did not take the opportunity to work at the design department lightly!
She treated this job with the utmost seriousness! She was truly appreciative of the opportunity to learn in the design department.
Being able to showcase her creation to an audience was something she had always dreamed of. Although this happened by chance, she promised she would present her best.
There was a chance that she would have to quit the designing world completely after a month. Therefore, she had to treasure this fleeting opportunity. She had to showcase her talent and dream.
“I’ll be relentless in my efforts to assist you in every way. Of course, you have to please me as a prerequisite.”
“It’s alright, I can solve my own problems.”
The man’s face fell instantly.
He was confused. Why did she not seize the golden chance that he dangled in front of her face? Surely she had to know that it would take one second for him to eradicate Jian Dan entirely from the fashion industry?!
Did she make up her mind not to ask for his favor? D*mn it. Why did this frustrate him so much?
Did she wish to be self-dependent? Well, he would wait and see!
The man suddenly swerved the steering wheel at the thought of this. He never requested for a driver when he came out with the woman.
It suddenly occurred to her that something was wrong. “This is not the way home. Where are you bringing me?” she asked, confused.
“It’s too early for home so we’re going to have some fun,” he said coldly.
“…” Why did he sound so strange? Did she somehow offend him again?
Before she could solve the mystery, he threw a set of clothes in her direction, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. “Get changed!”
“Now?” She stared at his back in disbelief. Right here?
She rather believed she had misheard the man.
His reply came out cold and indifferent. “Do you need my help with getting changed?”
At the speed of the lightning, she threw the formal attire over her head!
“Mo Nianchen, you’re doing this on purpose!” she complained as she lowered the hem of the dress.
