Chapter 279
Charles stretched his neck to peek and noticed that Cedrick wanted to send a message but did not. It
then dawned on him.
It made sense why he was in such a bad mood; he must have quarreled with Miss Clark.
“Cedrick, Miss Clark is coming for an interview this afternoon at four. Would you like me to pass on a
message to the human resource department for you to interview her personally?”
Cedrick looked displeased. “Office time for personal matters? Do you still want your bonus for this
month?”
Charles felt like he had been wronged.
Catelyn finished her design draft and was about to send it to Chandier Jewelry personally. Of course, she
still felt the jitters when she handed in her draft.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was because she was a little bold with her design this time to not have done something mainstream.
However, to win the contest, she had to take some risks. She had done all that she could, and the rest
was up to fate.
Lola spent two days in the police station because of Cedrick’s sexual harassment charges, and she was
eventually released because of Edwin’s influence.
Lola happened to experience soft torture while she was locked up, too. However, she had always been
spoiled as the rich daughter of the Atherton family and had never lived in a slum like Catelyn did, so her
tolerance for stress was not as good.
She looked like a hot mess when she was finally released. Her eye sockets were sunken, and her
eyeballs were bloodshot. She looked exhausted and pitiful.
However, today was the submission date for the final competition, and she had to personally be at the
office to watch.
When Catelyn came out after her submission, she bumped into Lola at the door. Catelyn almost thought
she bumped into a ghost because that was how pale Lola looked.
Lola, on the other hand, did not look too pleased to meet Catelyn. “Looks like you are ready with your
draft for the finals?” she snidely commented.
“Didn’t you see it?” Catelyn suddenly remembered that Lola slept with Cedrick and felt very iffy about it.
Still, why did she look so disoriented? Lola’s face was so pale like a dried tree trunk in the winter, so
much so that she had to rely on her makeup to look a little more human.

Catelyn was committed to attending the interview and, therefore, was all dressed up for it.
The two were such a contrast to each other. Lola had to blame Catelyn for her locked-up experience.
“You must’ve done something. You annoyed Cedrick that night, and that was why he lost interest in me
that night. I wasn’t satisfied, so don’t you dare dream of getting the first prize! You’ll regret this, Catelyn.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe should not have met Cedrick that night. She should have chosen a better time! On the other hand,
Catelyn was confused. She annoyed Cedrick? Soon, she understood why. Lola must have not
accomplished what she wanted to be this mad. Did that mean she failed to sleep with Cedrick? Catelyn
suddenly perked up as this as she even laughed lightly. “I’m so sorry that your wish wasn’t fulfilled, and
I’m sorry to have troubled you to volunteer yourself to sleep with him.” Lola was triggered at this and was
about to start a fight. Alas, they were in the office, so she held her urges in.
Not only did she hold it in, but her lips were even curving upward. She bent forward and whispered into
Catelyn’s ears, “We have more to come. Let’s see who’ll be smiling till the end.
The other staff at the office witnessed how Lola and Catelyn were whispering secrets with each other.
Catelyn could only imagine what Lola would do to her now that she offended her. There was no way
around it, too, apart from facing it head-on. Plus, she did not believe that Lola could get away with what
she did every time.
