Leah’s eyelids fluttered. Looking at the receptionist’s eager expression, she nodded in
agreement. “It’s indeed beautiful.”
“Unfortunately, the designer didn’t want to reveal their identity. Everyone only knows that
such a work exists, but no one knows who the designer is. I heard many people talking
about it. Too bad, if only our company had such a talented designer.” The young woman
chirped.
Leah pursed her lips and nodded silently. The young woman did not take note of it and
thought that she was an introvert. After chatting for a while more, Leah stopped talking.
In the lobby, Leah sat on the sofa, waiting patiently for Christopher. After a short while, the
receptionist suddenly raised her head and exclaimed, “Mr. Xavier is here!”
When Leah raised her head upon hearing her words, she saw the elevator door open. A tall
and skinny man in a white suit came out of the elevator. As soon as he exited the elevator,
his eyes scanned around the lobby and finally focused on Leah.
Christopher walked toward Leah and nodded his head as he shook her hand. “Nice to meet
you, Ms. White. I’m Christopher Xavier.”
“Nice to meet you too, I’m Sarah White,” Leah greeted him with a smile.
Christopher then went on to apologize. “I’m sorry, I was delayed for some time because of
something else. Can I offer you a drink as an apology?”
Leah paused. She could tell that Christopher wanted to have a private chat with her in the
café. She nodded. “Okay.”
The two then went to a café and found a quiet spot. Christopher ordered two cups of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcoffee. After taking her seat, Leah took out the design she had already prepared from the
bag and placed it in front of Christopher.
Christopher did not waste any time on the formalities. He picked up the design and
scanned it twice. His eyes were instantly filled with joy.
“This design is great! Ms. White, did you really design this by yourself?” Christopher
looked at her in admiration.
The woman in front of him looked like she was only in her early twenties. How could
someone so young create such a great design?
The design was sketched with a pencil. Yet, in both design and general aspects, it was
mysterious and eye-catching.
Leah chuckled at his compliment. After a while, she asked, “So am I good enough to
collaborate with you?”
“The design is perfect,” Christopher said while carefully stashing the design away. “It will
be my honor to work with a genius such as you, Ms. White.”
Leah smiled. The two of them had reached an agreement.
“By the way, Ms. White, do you know the reason I delayed today’s appointment?”
Christopher blinked cunningly.
Leah shook her head. “I’m not sure.”
“I got a call this morning from Mr. Crawford from Malarnor,” Christopher sipped his coffee
and smiled. As expected, Leah’s expression changed.
Ryan Crawford was a name that was no stranger to the people in the industry. He was a
well-known jewelry investor rumored to only invest in jewelry that suited his tastes,
regardless of the designer’s reputation. Many jewelry designers who were new to the
jewelry design firm were trying to win his favor. If they managed to gain his recognition,
their status in the industry would be secure.
Of course, Ryan was very wealthy too. If he had his eyes on a designer, he would spare no
expense to help them bring their designs to life.
“When I was studying in Malarnor, I gained Mr. Ryan’s recognition and received help from
him. However, I was immature at that time that I gave up pursuing jewelry design. I’ve
maintained a good relationship with Mr. Crawford,” Christopher explained to her with a
smile.
Leah nodded, holding the coffee cup in her hands, her palms were slightly sweaty. If only I
can also get Mr. Crawford’s recognition…
“Mr. Xavier, I…” Leah gathered her courage to ask.
Christopher interrupted her with a smile. “This Saturday, at 10 am, Mr. Ryan will arrive at
Linkville Airport. I’ll pick you up.”
Upon hearing his words, Leah was surprised. She thanked Christopher.
“You don’t have to thank me. Thank yourself for your capabilities,” Christopher said with a
smile. “After all, you seized the opportunity yourself.”
Coming out of the café, Christopher and Leah parted ways. Leah walked to the side of the
road and wanted to raise her hand to stop a taxi. When she turned around, she noticed
that she was opposite Linkville’s best hospital. When Leah came to her senses, she was
already standing in front of it. She looked at the people going in and out and sighed.
Forget it, let’s just visit Han for a bit. After all, I stabbed him. I should at least make sure
that Han is all right.
Leah walked into the hospital. She ran into Jane, who was also on her way to visit Han.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe followed Jane to the VIP ward on the 15th floor. She waited outside the ward for a
while. At noon, Jane finally left.
It was already lunchtime, and there were fewer people in the hospital. Leah reached the
door of the ward where Han stayed. There was a transparent glass window on the door of
the ward, through which Leah could see Han inside. He was sitting on the hospital bed
wearing a blue and white patient’s uniform staring blankly at the window. He looked pale
and weak.
Leah breathed a sigh of relief. She was relieved to see that he had woken up. She shifted
her body and decided to leave. However, at this time, Han retracted his gaze, turned his
head, and looked at Leah from the door window. Their gazes met for three seconds.
Leah, after realizing it, subconsciously trembled. She turned her body and wanted to run
away.
“Stop right there!”A man’s voice resounded, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps.
Leah, without having the chance to flee, was grabbed her arms from behind by Han.
“Han, let me go,” Leah struggled.
Although there were not many people in the corridor, Han’s presence was too strong that
the nurses around turned around their heads to look at him. Han frowned slightly. Without
saying anything, he pulled Leah into his ward. Leah’s strength was nothing compared to
his. She could not release herself from his grasp and followed him along into the ward. She
closed the door behind her.
In the ward, Han stared at her impassively. “What are you doing here?”
Leah stared back at him. “Just to see you.”
“To see if I’m dead?” Han’s lips curved into a mocking smile as he sneered. “You should be
disappointed that I’m still alive.”
