Chapter 18
As soon as her sarcastic words left her mouth, Olivia Brooks froze, her pupils contracting slightly, as if she’d been intensely irritated.
Emma Johnson was satisfied with her reaction. Just as she pressed the elevator button, Olivia whispered, “Ethan……”
Emma’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt the sight of a needle in her back, a chill rising from the soles of her feet, as if a cold wind was blowing down her entire back. She didn’t dare to turn back, and pressed the elevator button in a hurry, as if this could speed up the elevator’s rise.
“Emma.
The low, magnetic voice came, with a hint of somberness. Even though he called her name, she had to turn around. Just then, the elevator finally arrived with a ding!
Emma’s face showed a touch of joy, quickly stepped into the elevator, reached out and frantically pressed the elevator button, but kept an elegant smile on her face: “Mr. Carter, I still have a lot of work to deal with, excuse me.”
As her words fell, the elevator door slowly closed.
Olivia looked at Ethan Carter’s gloomy face, her heart was apprehensive, she didn’t know how much he had just heard, after trying to calm down, she carefully walked over to him and grabbed his hand, seeing that he didn’t break away, she was relieved, and then she said, “Ethan, these five years have passed, Emma has changed a lot, I almost can’t recognize her.
She said, while observing Ethan’s expression, sensing that he did not seem to react, and then continued, “She probably met a lot of men in foreign countries, surprisingly said this kind of words.”
“Stop it.”
Ethan slightly frowned, his eyes vaguely showed a color of impatience.
Olivia shut her mouth immediately, Ethan never liked people talking behind his back,
Three Years to Love
Olivia shut her mouth immediately, Ethan never liked people talking behind his back, even if it was her. The moment he turned around, his eyes swept over the closed elevator doors, his eyes narrowed dangerously, she was the woman he didn’t want? Obviously, he had underestimated her decisiveness.
On the other hand, Emma stepped out of the elevator, patting her chest with palpitating heart, it was good that the elevator arrived, otherwise she really didn’t know how to face this kind of scene. What could be more embarrassing than being caught in the act of badmouthing someone?
She breathed a sigh of relief and went back to her office, where her desk was satisfyingly tidy, so it seemed that the warning had had some effect.
As soon as she sat down, Director Zhang entered, looking around the room, his eyes finally resting on Emma and Rachel Smith, “Everyone, stop what you’re doing, there’s an announcement to make.”
Everyone raised their heads, their eyes focused on her.
“Emma has taken over the interior design of the property that the company is developing, and Rachel will be her assistant for the next few days, jointly responsible for this project.”
As soon as Director Zhang’s words fell, someone immediately questioned with dissatisfaction, “On what grounds? This project has been on our radar for a month, why should such an important job be given to a new designer?”
Director Zhang’s face was serious, and did not show excess emotion: “This matter is Mr. Carter arrangements, if there is any problem, you can feedback with me, I will truthfully reported to Mr. Carter.”
Along with her words, the crowd suddenly closed their mouths, not daring to say anything else, but look at Emma’s eyes have become more hostile.
Emma understood that in their minds, she must have relied on her improper relationship with Ethan Carter to get this project. Even if she tried to explain, everyone would only think it was an excuse. At this point, only through strength could they really shut up!
