    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 rk.


    “Cedrick, Miss rk ising 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.


    It 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.


    L spent two days in the police station because of Cedrick’s sexual harassment charges, and she was


    eventually released because of Edwin’s influence.


    L 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 finalpetition, and she had to personally be at the


    office to watch.


    When Catelyn came out after her submission, she bumped into L at the door. Catelyn almost thought


    she bumped into a ghost because that was how pale L looked.


    L, on the other hand, did not look too pleased to meet Catelyn. “Looks like you are ready with your


    draft for the finals?” she snidelymented.


    “Didn’t you see it?” Catelyn suddenly remembered that L slept with Cedrick and felt very iffy about it.


    Still, why did she look so disoriented? L’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 wasmitted to attending the interview and, therefore, was all dressed up for it.


    The two were such a contrast to each other. L had to me 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.”


    She 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. L must have not


    aplished what she wanted to be this mad. Did that mean she failed to sleep with Cedrick? Catelyn


    suddenly perked up as this as she evenughed 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.” L was triggered at this and was


    about to start a fight. s, 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 toe. Let’s see who’ll be smiling till the end.


    The other staff at the office witnessed how L and Catelyn were whispering secrets with each other.


    Catelyn could only imagine what L 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 L could get away with what


    she did every time.
