Chapter 39 ept the Challenge
"Gone?"
Janina was stunned for a long while. It was not until she saw the grief and despair in Joye’s eyes that
she suddenly realized something.
"Joye, don''t cry. I''m here."
She squatted down and pulled Joye into her arms. How could Joye’s parents and Quill be gone? They
were such amazing people…
……
After crying for the entire night, Joye''s eyes were painfully swollen the next day. Meanwhile, Janina’s
eyes looked even worse. Not only were her eyes swollen, but there were also huge dark circles under
her eyes. Despite that, they still could not hide the murderous intent in her eyes.
"What a b*stard! I can’t believe that Shawn is actually that kind of person!"
Thest time Janina saw Shawn was at his and Joye’s wedding. Janina originally thought that the
wedding was the beginning of a happy life between the couple. She never would have expected that
Shawn was nothing but scum.
Joye sshed a handful of cold water onto her face. Afterst night''s venting, she had be much
calmer. She wiped her face clean, then covered her swollen eyes with makeup and forced a smile at
Janina.
"Let''s not talk about him anymore. What are you nning to do now? You’re now a new star in the
design industry and a famous online celebrity. Do you intend to create your own brand and realize your
childhood dream now that you’re back home?" Joye asked.
"I initially thought so, but I’ve changed my mind now. I’m joining Leonard Group!"
Janina spoke with certainty and patted her swollen eyes hard. She had cried the whole night and it had
ruined her perfect appearance. She had to use her unique massage method to recover her looks.
Joye was stunned. "Join Leonard Group? Janina, I thought you hated following rules and working for
others."
Janina had always been an independent person since she was a child, and she loved freedom.
Besides, she had told Joye that she would never take up a nine-to-five job in her life.
"Working in Leonard Group’s different. Thepany’s boss is my best friend. Who dares to do
anything to me? That’s it. It''s settled."
Joye did not say anything more upon noticing Janina’s determined attitude. Instead, her smile grew
wider when she realized Janina chose to work in Leonard Group because of her.
Janina and Joye looked more energetic after putting on their makeup. After the two got in the car, Joye
turned to look at Janina, who was sitting in the front passenger seat and fastening her seat belt. There
was a hint of distress between Janina’s eyebrows. "Janina, you still... Forget it, let''s go."
Joye stopped herself mid-sentence, not wanting to ruin the mood.
Leonard Group was only a few minutes drive away from Joye’s apartment, so they arrived at the
At that moment, the pain in Janina''s eyes had disappearedpletely. She looked up at the tall office
building and said with a huge smile, "I’ll be working here from now on! Boss, please be kind to me."
Joye patted her on the shoulder with a smile and said jokingly, "Do your best. I have faith in you."
"Good morning, President Leonard."
When the staff saw Janina and Joyeing in, they greeted them respectfully and looked at Janina
curiously. "Who’s the beauty standing next to the president? Why does she look so familiar?"
"Yeah, you’re right. I feel like I''ve seen her before."
Janina overheard the staff’s whispers, and she stuck her chest out proudly. "In another two years, I’ll
be the most popr online celebrity in the world. At that time, people all over the world will know
me."
Joye could not help but burst into a giggle. "Yes, yes. I’m counting on you to promote Leonard Group’s
future products. Come on, let me take you upstairs to have a look."
The two of them entered the elevator. Joye pressed the button on the 18th floor and said, "I''ll exin
first. Recently, I''ve hired two famous designers for the design department, Damian and Tiffany. These
two are very difficult to deal with, so good luck."
"You’re exaggerating, right? So that means I’ll have to prepare for a battle."
Janina rubbed her hands as if she was going to fight. Joye held back herughter. It was good to have
Janina back by her side. She was a source of happiness during Joye’s darkest days.
"Miss. Leonard, would you mind introducing the youngdy beside you?"
Tiffany stepped out of the office, and the moment she saw Janina, she looked her up and down. Then,
her red lips quirked as if approving of Janina’s taste in fashion.
"Wow, I finally got to meet my idol! Nice to meet you, Miss Tiffany. You look stunning! My name’s
Janina Hill. I''m new here, and I’ll be working in the design department. You may call me Janina."
Joye was speechless at the spontaneous bootlicking…
Joye stared at Janina as thetterplimented Tiffany non-stop. Sheughed inside, “So this is what
she meant by preparing for a battle?”
"Janina! You''re such a sweet talker. I can tell that you''re Miss. Leonard''s friend. Don''t worry, I''ll take
good care of you. If anything happens in the future, I''ll cover for you."
Tiffany loved it when people praised her beauty, so she could not stop beaming after hearing Janina’s
office for.
"I need to go to the workshop and prepare a sample. Janina, let''s talk when I get back."
"No problem."
After Tiffany left with a satisfied smile on her face, Joye red at Janina and said, "I was caught off
guard by your ttery. It might work on Tiffany, but it won’t work on Damian."
"Don''t worry. I’m a beauty with brains. Everything will be settled in minutes."
Janina puffed out her chest seductively. Joye could not stand her demeanor, so she walked back to the
elevator. "Alright then, you keep up your good work. Good luck. Oh! By the way, I''ll wait for you on the
top floor for lunch."
"You''re not staying?"
Janina wore a pitiful expression on her face as Joye left. Then, she nced at the design room’s ss
door and walked inside.
At that moment Damian was drawing a blueprint, he was so focused that he did not notice Janina
Holding the pen midair, his eyebrows knitted into a dissatisfied frown above his sses.
"You won’t be able to show off your unique style by drawing these perfectly smooth lines."
Damian whipped his head around upon hearing Janina’s remark. Apart from the look of surprise in his
eyes, there was also a hint of excitement in his gaze.
"Do you also think that I can make use of some aggressive lines?"
"Of course! Just like human beings, if everything appears smooth and perfect without some corners
and edges, they would seem nd. Am I right?"
shing her a rare smile, Damian quickly nodded and said, "That''s what I meant. Some people always
think that they’re smart, but more often than not, they’re the most stupid ones. In the end, they lost their
true selves."

Janina picked up the pen from the table with a smile and drew an unusual trajectory in the ce where
Damian was stuck. Then, she said with a smile, "Mr. Lee, I’m a new staff member, Janina Hill. I’m
looking forward to exchanging different thoughts and opinions with you in the future."
It was a pity that such a good performancecked an audience.
……
Joye took the elevator to the president''s office. Shortly after, Linda knocked on the door and came in.
"President Leonard, I heard that there’s a new designer in the design department?"
"Yes, she’s my best friend. Please get someone to go through the formalities."
"You arranged for your best friend to work in the design department in Damian and Tiffany’s team…
Don’t you think this is too harsh?"
Linda reminded Joye. Ever since Damian and Tiffany came to Leonard Group, the staff in the design
department had beenining about the two of them every day.
Joye smiled without a hint of worry on her face. "Don''t worry, my best friend’s a... sociable person, and
she''s a beauty with brains."
She giggled as she remembered that Janina had won Tiffany’s favor with just onepliment. Damian
would not be a problem to her.
"That’s great. This is the financial approval card sent by the bank this morning. The money will be
transferred to us in the afternoon."
