Bethan took a deep breath and entered her own office. Not long after, Samson, Zayne, and Arianna came in. They pushed her door open at the same time.
“Ms. Bethan, what is going on?”
Samson furrowed his brows. “It’s less than two days until the competition, yet they replaced you with Fiona. What the hell is Brettley Morrison thinking?”
Zayne was calm as usual.
“I think Mr. Morrison wants to give the honors of the leader to Ms. Blake. After all, Ms. Bethan is leaving soon. He needs to make his girlfriend famous so that after Ms. Bethan leaves, the Morrison Group would still have a famous designer.”
“However, Fiona has nothing to do with these designs! How could they be so shameless! “
“Softer, those people outside are all Fiona’s b*tches now. It’ll be bad if they overheard us…”
Looking at them being indignant for her, Bethan could not help but smile.
She grabbed a handful of candy and chocolate and placed them on her desk.
“Have some.”
The three of them stopped bickering. Arianna looked at Bethan, stunned.
“Ms. Bethan, y-you…offering us candy? There is nothing worth being happy about…”
“But, there are.”
Bethan smiled and told the three of them about Nigel and Nellie’s recent condition. Then, she chuckled lightly.
“Samson, Zayne, I forbid you all to quit from the team, because you have put in hard work in this work too. If all of you quit, then everything would be Fiona’s.”
Zayne and Samson, who had been going on and on about quitting, finally quieted down.
After a while, they sighed dejectedly. “We will work hard on the competition.” “Hmm.”
Bethan smiled and cheered them on.
“I will be there live to see you receive your prizes in tomorrow’s competition. You can do it.”
When the three of them left, Bethan organized her desk while munching on candy.
She had been too busy for the past half a month, her desk was messier than the bin.
She had not finished clearing up when her office door was pushed open once again.
This time, it was Fiona entering arrogantly.
“Ms, Bethan, I thought you would not come to work today, “
Fiona entered and said arrogantly while sitting in the chair in front of Bethan.
Her face was filled with aloofness and smugness.
“I was still thinking if you were to not come, I was about to get your assistant to call you to make a trip here. There are a lot of questions I need to ask you regarding the design.”
Then, Fiona laughed extremely arrogantly.
“Bethan, I never thought that you would have a stronger character than I imagined. You would actually come to work.”
Bethan smiled and swept a glance at Fiona’s smug face. “Of course. If I don’t have a strong character, I would have long dragged you and Brettley into the gates of Hell.”
Fiona was stunned for a while, then she laughed. “Would you be willing to?”
Fiona said while reaching out to touch the photo on Bethan’s desk.
It was a photo of Bethan with Nigel, Neil, and Nellie. She gently swiped her fingers across Neil’s face.
“No matter what, Brettley is the father of your three children, you won’t be willing to do it.”
Bethan furrowed her brows, got up, and snatched the photo back. “Put it down! “
Fiona was not worthy of touching her photo.
After being treated roughly by Bethan, Fiona did not get angry, on the contrary, she laughed even more arrogantly.
“Why so petty? Do you think I ‘m envious that you gave birth to three children for Brettley? I am indeed envious, but…”
Fiona turned to look at Bethan.
“I can do it too. Sooner or later, I am going to have three children with Brettley too. No. Four. I want to have one more than you.”
Seeing how arrogant Fiona looked, Bethan could not help but laugh.
She understood that Fiona intended to show off, but the way she showed off was too childish.
Bethan lifted her gaze and smiled at Fiona.
“I think you can have a few more children. At least ten, like a sow.”
Fiona’s eyes instantly widened upon Bethan’s words.
She never would have thought that Bethan still had the mood to mock her!
After all, in Fiona’s eyes, Bethan was the poor person whose half-a-month-long hard work had been snatched away. She should be dejected and despondent.
Bethan should be depressed and disappointed by her provocations and mocks.
However, at that moment, Bethan was not at all.
Fiona narrowed her eyes fiercely. Did Bethan truly not care or was she pretending in front of her?
Fiona thought for a while before laughing a little. “For Brettley, I would be willing to be a sow too.”
Then, she changed into a more comfortable position in her chair and leaned back. She looked at Bethan condescendingly.
“After all, Brettley made such a huge effort for me.”
Fiona picked up the pen on the table, lowering her eyes while playing with it. She said calmly, “I’m sure you don’t know about it right, Bethan? About the international competition tomorrow…
“Brettley prepared this especially for me.”
Bethan instantly raised her eyebrows upon Fiona’s words.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
The Morrison Group was just a participant in the competition. President Calvin from abroad was the organizer.
How could Brettley specially prepare the competition for Fiona?”
“Whether I’m spewing nonsense or not, all you need to do is just look into it.”
Fiona said calmly, “Tell me, why is this competition taking place in Banyan
City this time?”
“Banyan City is not where President Calvin the organizer stays, it is also not where the committee is from. Also, Banyan City has never organized such a competition, they have no experience in this at all, so why did they choose to have it here?”
Bethan furrowed her brows hard upon Fiona’s question.
All this while, she had been busy preparing design sketches according to the topic and demands of the competition. She never ever thought of that question.
However, when Fiona brought it up at that moment, she could not help but suspect it too.
Yes.
No matter what, Banyan City should not be the organizers’ first choice.
“It’s because of me.”
Looking at the confusion in Bethan’s eyes, Fiona laughed even more smugly.
“Brettley wanted me to take part in the competition, yet he does not want me to be too far away from him. So, he deliberately contacted President Calvin and invested in another company of his. He got President Calvin to go against everyone’s opinion to hold the competition at Banyan City.”
Then, Fiona looked at Bethan and smirked. “Say, don’t you think Brettley is so thoughtful?
