Chapter 111
Violet’s hand froze in mid-air.
Nelson looked at Violet in surprise. “Miss Webb, are you looking for Mr. Hersey?”
Violet felt somewhat uneasy and lowered her hand. She nodded. “Yes, I’ve come to see Mr. Hersey for
some documents.”
Nelson nodded and left the office.
Violet entered the office, but Patrick did not lift his head. He continued to study some documents. He
had indeed told Skyler to let Violet come and get the information for the Azure Ocean Heart Jewelry
Design Competition when she had the time. However, he had just said those hurtful words to Violet last
night, so he had not expected her to actually
come
Noticing that Patrick was treating her as if she were invisible, and reminded Violet of the events from
last night. She self-deprecatingly tugged at her lips. Indeed, she had thought too highly of herself
before, naively thinking that after spending so much time together, there might be some feelings
between them. But in Patrick’s eyes, she was nothing more than someone he casually helped when he
was in a good mood, and she had taken it too seriously.
Since Patrick remained silent, Violet took the initiative, without being servile. “Mr. Hersey, I’ve come to
request the relevant materials for the Azure Ocean Heart Jewelry Design Competition.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPatrick’s face remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil. He looked at Violet, did not respond to her
words, and instead said, “Congratulations o winning first place in The Dawn Jewelry Design
Competition again.”
Violet’s expression remained blank. “Thank you. However, the victory in The Dawn Jewelry Design
Competition is mainly thanks to Mr. Hersey.” Their conversation was polite and formal, and it was
incredibly awkward.

Chapter 11
Patrick was helpless. He knew that even if he apologized now, Violet might not listen. After all, he had
uttered hurtful words last night.
A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes as he handed over the materials nearby. “These are the
relevant materials for the Azure Ocean Heart Jewelry Design Competition. I have already had Nelson
print them out for you. Take a look. You still have more than half a month to prepare for it.”
Violet nodded and maintained a polite yet distant demeanor. “I will.”
With the materials in hand, Violet turned to leave.
Just at that moment, Patrick stood up from his office chair. “Violet!”
She turned around, her expression cold. “Mr. Hersey, is there anything else?”
Patrick looked at her, cleared his throat, and said, “For the competition this time, do you want me or
Skyler to accompany you? I’m more familiar with the situation there, and Skyler…” He said this to
provide an opportunity for reconciliation between the two.
However, before Patrick could finish his sentence, Violet could not control. herself and interrupted him.
She was clearly influenced by the words from last night, and she rejected him coldly. “Mr. Hersey,
there’s no need to trouble you. Mr. Brown already said he would go with me.
Patrick had not expected that one day he would be the one being given a cold shoulder. But ultimately,
it was his hurtful words from last night that led to this situation. Although he had an unpleasant
expression, he said in a firm tone, “Violet, I drank last night, and I’m sorry.”
Violet maintained her tense expression. “Mr. Hersey, there’s no need apologize. People tend to speak
their minds when they’re drunk. I understand your feelings. You don’t need to worry. I won’t be so
presumptuous in the future.” Having said that, Violet turned and left the office, even considerately
closing the door for Patrick. Patrick’s handsome face turned ashen, and a storm brewed within him.

Violet wasn’t the type to wallow in self-pity. While Patrick’s attitude had indeed hurt her, she did not
have the right to ask him for help. She needed to find a solution on her own.

During lunchtime, Megan’s usually cool and composed face showed a rare moment of indecision. “I’ve
noticed that since I joined Foreverie Jewelry, I still haven’t been able to see Skyler. He’s usually in his
office whenever I visit the design department. Violet, what do you think? Should I come and apply for
an assistant position in this department?”
Violet, still racking her brains for a solution, suddenly looked up when she
heard her. “Huh?”
Megan immediately noticed that something was amiss with Violet. “What’s going on with you? You’ve
been absent-minded all noon today!”
Violet pursed her lips and was about to speak.
However, Megan interrupted her directly. “Tell the truth. Whenever you. have that gloomy expression
and purse your lips like this, it means you’re about to make something up!”
Violet sighed in resignation. Megan knew her too well. Either she did not say anything, or Megan would
see right through her lies.
She thought about it and decided to tell the truth. After a moment of contemplation, Violet decided to be
honest. Megan’s brow furrowed deeply as she asked, “So, what’s your plan, then?”
Violet glanced at her and whispered, “I don’t even need to think about Patrick for help anymore.
There’s no way he’ll let Veronica into Foreveri Jewelry. But if this whole plan falls through, my dad will
burn the letter my mom wrote me. So, I’m thinking of taking the letter before the deadline, and then he
won’t have any leverage over me.”
