Chapter 1257


    Clyde seemed to be unaware of J’s displeasure.


    shing his usual gentle smile, he attempted once again to give J the flowers.


    “Please take the flowers, Miss White. If you have any ideas about promoting your studio, we can sit


    down and discuss it,”


    Clyde offered like a gentleman.


    J was almostughing from irritation.


    Although Clyde imed he only came to visit, the promotion was the only thing that came out of his


    mouth.


    Since he came in, she had told him countless times that she wasn’t interested in that kind of publicity.


    Was it that hard to understand? With a step back, she pushed away the flowers Clyde had ced in


    her face.


    “Mr. Lambert, please go and take your journalist friends with you. Today is a busy day and I’m afraid I


    had no time to entertain you,” J said bluntly.


    Still, Clyde seemed to miss the meaning of her words.


    He shrugged her refusal off and continued to persuade J in a serious tone.


    “Miss White, are you sure you want to pursue your design for that old woman? You’ve already


    designed clothes for an old woman before. It’ll lose its novelty once you do it again. You won’t profit


    much from this project.” J didn’t even have the chance to reply.


    He gave her a small smile and continued, “Don’t worry, I will let the reporters know that you refused the


    old woman’s order to raise the threshold of your design.” A cold expression settled on J’s face.


    Now she could tell that Clyde was essentially a very arrogant and rude person who, deep down,


    despised the unpretentious elderly woman.


    A person like Clyde was not someone she could go along with.


    But Clyde had helped her once and she couldn’t discount that.


    So, J reeled her anger in and politely said, “Mr. Lambert, there’s no need for you to worry about my


    business. Please leave as soon as possible.”


    Clyde stared at J’s somewhat angry expression with interest.


    For some reason, he felt even more drawn to her.


    J was indeed different from the averagedy from a prestigious family.


    Not only did she voice out her opinions, but she was also so adorable when she was angry.


    J felt very ufortable under Clyde’s suggestive gaze.


    She frowned, just about topletely lose her temper and drive him away when the studio suddenly


    turned dark.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    All the lights went out.


    The entire studio was plunged into darkness.


    A flurry of steps sounded, then Lexi’s panicked voice came.


    “Boss, bad news! The power is out! We need to call a repairman to fix it.”


    Before J could react, Lexi turned to Clyde with an apologetic look and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lambert,


    and to everyone. The power in the studio suddenly went out. We won’t be able to ept any interviews


    or publicity today. Please go back first.” Clyde didn’t budge, however.


    He still attempted to stay.


    “Never mind the lights, we can go outside to continue the interview. Now…”


    A cracking sound brought Clyde to an abrupt stop.


    In the dim light, Lexi shook her coffee mug apologetically.


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Lambert, the studio is too dark and I couldn’t see. I identally spilled coffee on your


    face. You’ll forgive me, right?” Clyde was left standing in the same spot, covered in coffee.


    Thick liquid dripped from his hair and face and Lexi knew full well how sticky it would be.


    Most of all, it was extremely embarrassing.


    He had every reason to believe that this little brat had done it deliberately! The embarrassed look on


    Clyde’s face made J burst intoughter.


    The anger she was tightly holding down dissipated.


    She swallowed to suppress herughter.


    “Mr. Lambert, I suggest your return home and change your clothes.” Clenching his fist, Clyde did his


    best to hold back his anger but it was a struggle.


    Fortunately, he managed to resist the urge to explode at J’s assistant right there and then. He had


    to maintain a good impression in front of J. He couldn’t let his emotions take over! “Alright then.”


    Taking a deep, calming breath, Clyde forced a smile.


    “I’ll be on my way now. But I’ll be back to chat with you again some other day, Miss White.” He wanted


    toe back again? What a joke! J cursed silently.


    Clyde casually put the flowers on a table before leaving with the big group of reporters.


    In the dim light, J nced at the table where the flowers were and felt her annoyance return.


    “Mr. Lambert, wait!” She called after him. Hopeful, Clyde turned around with excitement.


    Did J change her mind and want him to stay? J didn’t beat around the bush.


    She threw the flowers directly back to Clyde, the corners of her lips lifting a little.


    “You should take the flowers back with you. I don’t need them.”Rejection hit Clyde like a truck.


    He hold the flowers in his hands and finally recognized that he didn’t have a chance. J wasn’t only


    refusing the flowers he gave her, she was also refusing him. No matter how thick-skinned Clyde was, at


    that moment his face turned lividpletely.


    He had never been so humiliated in his life! Between gritted teeth, he uttered an abrupt “Goodbye” and


    rushed out of the studio, taking the journalists with him. Relief shot up J’s body as she watched


    Clyde flee. It was oddly refreshing to see.
