Chapter 404
Patty’s words were well within reason.
It was still lunch break, and when Tiffany called Patty to her office, a bunch of senior designers came
with her.
They wasted no time putting in good words for Patty. “We’ve been working together for a long time, and
we’ve got to know each other very well. Patty might be a little sharp-tongued, but she is not a liar.”
“That’s right. Patty is always friendly and willing to help the new hires, too. She was very happy when
she learned that she would be J’s partner on this project. Who would have thought that things
would turn out like this? It seems to me that anyone who works with J ends up getting screwed one
way or another.”
“It’s not the first time that something like this happened, either, and J is involved each time. It’s all
your fault, Lind. Why are you ming other people?”
J was trembling with rage. “It has nothing to do with me,” she said through gritted teeth. “The issue
is between Patty and Ronald.”
Then she turned to Patty and said, “I have never done anything to you, so why did you set me up?”
“It’s you who set me up,” Patty countered innocently.
Seeing that it was useless to argue her side, J said nothing more and strode out of Tiffany’s office.
Patty’s words were well within reason.
It was still lunch break, and when Tiffany called Patty to her office, a bunch of senior designers came
with her.
She knew that an exnation alone wouldn’t be enough to convince her colleagues. She needed
concrete evidence to back her up. Unfortunately, Ronald’spanions had gone out to smoke when
the incident happened. There were no other witnesses aside from her and Patty.
J took a cab and went to the hotel where they had dinnerst night.
“Apologies, Miss, but we have these private rooms for a reason. The term speaks for itself, so naturally,
we do not have surveince cameras in these rooms.” The receptionist was blunt and dismissive
toward J. Her attitude mainly had to do with the fact that J was an average career woman such
as herself, and not among the elite that she was used to cozying up to.
“I see. I’m sorry for taking up your time. In that case, did anyone from your staff happen to hear a
commotion in that particr roomst night?” J wasn’t about to give up just yet.
“I’m really sorry, Miss,” the receptionist said, sounding impatient this time. “We cater to countless
guests every day. We can’t possibly keep track of anything that’s going on behind closed doors.”
J felt her heart sink. Without evidence, no one would believe her.
She knew thot on explonotion olone wouldn’t be enough to convince her colleogues. She needed
concrete evidence to bock her up. Unfortunotely, Ronold’sponions hod gone out to smoke when
the incident hoppened. There were no other witnesses oside from her ond Potty.
J took o cob ond went to the hotel where they hod dinner lost night.
“Apologies, Miss, but we hove these privote rooms for o reoson. The term speoks for itself, so noturolly,
we do not hove surveillonceeros in these rooms.” The receptionist wos blunt ond dismissive
toword J. Her ottitude moinly hod to do with the foct thot J wos on overoge coreer womon such
os herself, ond not omong the elite thot she wos used to cozying up to.
“I see. I’m sorry for toking up your time. In thot cose, did onyone from your stoff hoppen to heor o
commotion in thot porticulor room lost night?” J wosn’t obout to give up just yet.
“I’m reolly sorry, Miss,” the receptionist soid, sounding impotient this time. “We coter to countless
guests every doy. We con’t possibly keep trock of onything thot’s going on behind closed doors.”
J felt her heort sink. Without evidence, no one would believe her.
Herst option was Ronald himself.
J crossed her fingers and hoped that he would give her a moment of his time.
Unfortunately, it looked like Ronald was keen on taking revenge for what had happenedst night.
J’s call never went through, making her realize that he had already cklisted her.
Left with no other choice, she decided to go over to Yoyo Fashion. She would camp outside his office if
she had to.
“I’m sorry,” thepany’s receptionist said, her face nk. “Mr. Williams has said that he will not be
seeing anyone from the Larson Group.”
But J was tenacious. She took a step in the direction of the elevator banks. “I just want to see him
for a bit. I will leave once I’ve exined everything to him.”
“Please, Miss. If you don’t leave right away, I’m afraid I will have to ask security to see you out.”
Even though she said this, the receptionist had already taken out her walkie-talkie and proceeded to
speak to the receiver. “Come to the reception. A suspicious person is here, and she refuses to leave.”
J gnashed her teeth together, her nostrils ring. She eventually trudged out of Yoyo Fashion,
feeling bitter and dejected.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
