At that moment, Hattie Robson and Taylor Carline came over. When Hattie Robson saw Lina Sweeney, she began mocking her. “Lina Sweeney, I think you can start packing up your belongings and look for a new job. Oh dear, but this year’s economy is not too good. Should I get my father to contact other design institutes to see if anyone will hire you?”

Lina Sweeney frowned. She heard that Hattie Robson’s father was a professor in one of the design faculty, thus he knew quite a few design institutes.

When Hattie Robson said that, Lina Sweeney understood that Hattie Robson intended to cut off Lina Sweeney’s progression in this field.

How despicable!

Lina Sweeney rolled her eyes and was not afraid of those threats. She was not going to starve even if she did not work in this line.

‘Some people think that they rule the world!’

“I don’t need that. If you have so much free time, you should spend more time watching over your boyfriend. However,

I think both of you are a match made for each other. Unfortunately, I’m not the least bit interested. My boyfriend is way better than this Taylor Carline here!”

Hattie Robson felt that Lina Sweeney was merely making a pointless struggle. “Boyfriend? What boyfriend do you have! If you had a boyfriend, you wouldn’t be seducing Ziyu! Am I right, Ziyu?”

Taylor Carline immediately nodded cowardly.

Lina Sweeney was annoyed by Taylor Carline’s attitude. He was so despicable when he tried to hara** her back then yet. was acting like a coward now, What a sissy.

At that moment, Lina Sweeney felt that Hadwin Stephenson’s image in her heart became so much greater. He was too awesome a comparison against this Taylor Carline!

Lina Sweeney wanted to hurl more insults at them when suddenly her vision was attracted to something further behind Hattie Robson at the entrance of the office. She saw her boss walking into the office, but that was not the problem. The problem was the person next to him… was Hadwin. Stephenson?!

Lina Sweeney blinked her eyes and looked carefully. Okay, her eyes were not playing tricks on her. It was really Hadwin. Stephenson.

Hadwin Stephenson saw her as well but did not greet her. He merely shot her a smile and continued his conversation with.

her boss.

From Lina Sweeney’s point of view, her boss was being very respectful and humble toward Hadwin Stephenson when they conversed. They were talking as they walked, and her boss got his secretary to brew some tea to serve in his office room.

Lina Sweeney thought about it and understood why. After all, their design firm was not famous in Emerald City. Their main. company was slightly better in which it managed to squeeze itself into the rankings. As for their firm, it was merely a stepping stone to get into a better company.

Hadwin Stephenson was the current boss of Stephenson Group, thus it was understandable for her boss to be extra respectful. After all, if they could get a collaboration with Stephenson Group, the company would hit the jackpot.

‘But why… What is Hadwin Stephenson’s purpose for coming here?!

‘Our small design firm can’t possibly be under his consideration?’

After a while, Hadwin Stephenson followed her boss into his office room. Hattie Robson looked disdainfully at Linal Sweeney. “What are you looking at? Do you know who that is? That’s the chairman of Stephenson Group. A person like you doesn’t have the qualifications to even stand next to him.”

Lina Sweeney looked at Hattie Robson in disbelief. She did not expect Hattie Robson to know who Hadwin Stephenson was.

Hattie Robson was secretly devising a plan. Their boss and her father had a good relationship, and that was why she led a good life in the company.

Earlier before their boss went out, he happened to see Hattie

Robson and reminded her to be at her best as the chairman. of Stephenson Group was visiting. He did not know the purpose of the visit but was going to find an opportunity to introduce her to him and give her a chance to show her talent.

Such opportunities were hard to come by. As such, when she heard about it, she immediately went online to search for more information regarding the chairman of Stephenson Group. She did not expect that the actual person looked much younger than the photos she found on the net.

After looking at Hadwin Stephenson who had come in earlier and now looking at Taylor Carline, she suddenly found her boyfriend less appealing.

After some time, the secretary came to inform everyone to gather at the main meeting room as there was an important announcement.

In just a few short minutes, 40 to 50 people were gathered inside the meeting room. Due to the limited seats available inside the room, those lower-ranking staff had to carry their chairs into the room and sit nearer to the wall.

Lina Sweeney was one of those who needed to bring her own.

seat.

Lina Sweeney found a corner to sit down, and the others periodically filled in as well. What was surprising was that even the cleaning lady was told to attend the meeting as well.

‘What’s so important that every single worker is called in?’

Lina Sweeney was puzzled. Once the meeting room was filled, her boss and Hadwin Stephenson entered the meeting room.

Usually, the boss would be the only person sitting at the main seat, but today, Hadwin Stephenson was also seated at the front.

Everyone could see how important Hadwin Stephenson was.

Lina Sweeney sneaked a glance at Hadwin Stephenson. ‘Hmm, he looks good in a suit. He looks rather handsome! He is indeed very good-looking! No wonder I was so rash to do such a thing to him when I got drunk back then.

‘On that note, he does have a good physique. Although he’s a little on the skinny side, he’s muscularly firm…’ Lina Sweeney recalled the time she saw Hadwin Stephenson in his full naked glory as she looked at him…

Her complexion immediately flushed red, and she quickly looked down. She was telling herself to stop thinking of such nonsense.

Hadwin Stephenson caught sight of Lina Sweeney who was at a corner with her head lowered. He was unsure of what was going through her mind.

Looking at her figure, Hadwin Stephenson’s lips inadvertently curved into a small smile.

The boss said to Hadwin Stephenson, “Mr. Stephenson, we can begin.”

“Okay.”

Thus, the boss started the meeting. He began by introducing

Hadwin Stephenson, then he introduced some of the past projects done by the firm.

He did not forget to mention Hattie Robson as well. “This is our youngest designer. Don’t think that her age is too young as her father is a famous designer in the industry. She has won an international award as well. Some of her designs are very creative. Later if you have the time, Chairman Stephenson, you can have a look at her designs as well.”

Hattie Robson quickly stood up and put her best foot forward. “Nice to meet you, Chairman Stephenson. I’m Hattie Robson. This is our first meeting. I hope you’ll teach me a thing or two in the future.”

“Oh, I know you,” Hadwin Stephenson lazily replied.

Hattie Robson was pleasantly surprised. ‘What’s going on? Did he say that he knows me? Has he seen my past designs and was captivated by them?’

Hattie Robson’s heart began to leap erratically.

Lina Sweeney, who was hiding at a corner, finally looked up and stared at Hadwin Stephenson. She inexplicably felt a bad premonition as if… something was going to happen.

Hadwin Stephenson’s subsequent words made Lina

Sweeney’s body stiffen as her premonition came to fruition.

“My girlfriend mentioned you to me once,” Hadwin Stephenson said.

“Girlfriend?” Hattie Robson was taken aback as a sense of disappointment rose within her heart. She did not expect that the man already had a girlfriend. It was as if she lost a chance, even though she already had a boyfriend.

However, she was then curious about who his girlfriend was.

Was it someone she knew?

“I heard that you and my girlfriend got into a fight till both of you ended up in the police station and that it was over your boyfriend. By the way, who is your boyfriend? I want to see what he looks like because it seems yesterday’s scuffle happened due to you presuming that my girlfriend’s interested in your boyfriend?”

When Hadwin Stephenson said that, everyone’s gaze landed on Hattie Robson, Taylor Carline… and Lina Sweeney who was hiding at a corner.
