Chapter 1755
“Cedric was looking for you earlier!” Edwina remarked.
Snapping out of her daze, Emily responded, “I got it!”
She glanced at the designs made for the James Building on the table. Moments
later, she picked them up and made her way to Cedric’s office.
Upon entering Cedric’s office, she found him looking up at her, silent.
Emily slowly approached and gently said, “This is the internal design I made for
the first floor of the James Building. Have a look, and if everything is alright, I’ll
continue with the second draft.”
Enter title…
Cedric got stunned, a look of delight spreading across his face, “So you’ve
thought it through? You’re not resigning anymore?”
Emily’s cheeks flushed slightly, her smile a mixture of relief and relaxation. She
nodded slowly, “I won’t resign. I want to stay here and I take back what I said
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtearlier.”
“That’s more like it!” Cedric replied with a warm smile, “Keep up the qood work.
You’ll surely outshine me one day!”
Emily, her eyes bright and two faint dimples playing on her cheeks, said, “I’ll do
my best!”
After leaving Cedric’s office, Emily called Wilson, informing him of her decision
to stay at the firm and not join his team.
Although disappointed, Wilson responded graciously, “Regardless, I respect
your decision. Even if we’re not work partners, we’re still friends. Let’s keep in
touch.”
“Sure!”
Emily felt a sense of relief after the call, as if a weight had been lifted off her
shoulders.
Estelle always said never to give up, even in dire situations. Emily wasn’t in one;
maybe she could hang in there a bit longer!
However, her moment of peace was short-lived. On her way home, she
received a call from Noreen, “Emily, it’s been a week, Have you prepared the 10
grand?”
Emily replied, “I’ll get my paycheck in two weeks. I can give you 5 thousand
then!”
“That won’t do. I need it right away, can’t wait for two weeks!” Noreen responded
hastily.
“You’ll have to wait either way. We agreed on three years, and it’s not been
three years yet!” Emily, tired of arguing with Noreen, hung up.
Noreen called again. Emily refused to pick up.
The James Group Late in the afternoon, just before signing off, Gavin took
some documents to Charlie for signature.
While waiting for Charlie to sign, Gavin started, “This afternoon, Cedric from
Paragon Pixel Design called me. It’s about Emily”
““Okay;’ Charlie, who didn’t look up but gripped the pen tighter, “What did he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsay?”
Sensing Charlie’s feigned calmness, Gavin decided to play along, “It was about
that designer she recommended.”
Charlie’s face hardened halfway through Gavin’s sentence. Was she still
planning to resign and recommended another designer to him?
Gavin continued, “She felt it wasn’t a goad fit, so she decided not to resign. She
plans to stay and complete the design for our building.”
Charlie paused, quickly signed the documents and threw them back to Gavin.
His thin lips moved, “Get out!”
Grinning cheekily, Gavin picked up the documents, let out a meaningful sigh
and said, “Emily is stubborn. You’re indeed impressive. You managed to change
Emily’s mind!”
With that, he stepped out of the office, ready to call it a day.
Charlie returned to the documents he was reviewing earlier, while his thoughts
were wandering, a gentle warmth spreading across his features, his lips curling
into a smile unconsciously
