Chapter 30


    “Miss Foster, kindly bear in mind that the Hart Group is not a wet market where you can secure a deal


    by haggling. Director Hart has already mentioned that the draft from Chase Group is rather crude. The


    Hart Group has doubts about Miss Stark’s attitude in seriously treating the design. If this continues, the


    coboration between the Hart and Chase Groups will end at this stage.” Leo did not hold back when


    he made the announcement in front of the two staff members from the Hay Group. I was utterly


    humiliated in front of Sasha and her designer! Furthermore, I did not get to meet Director Hart at all


    today!


    Elsie had been venting her frustration at Myra throughout their return journey to thepany. Watching


    her lose her temper, Myra could no longer endure it no matter how good-natured she was. “I do not


    know what I have done to have hurt thepany,” she stated coldly.


    “How dare you fight back! Do you know what the Hart Groupmented about you? They said that


    you are irresponsible because you don’t even know how to edit the design draft and that it looks too


    crude! Myra, you are a piece of work. How dare you fool me with a subpar draft? Are you trying tond


    me into trouble because you aren’t happy that I am your superior now?! Will you gain any benefit if the


    Chase Group loses the Sunny Bay Project?! You seem to be close with the person in charge from the


    Hay Group; you can’t be—”


    “Miss Foster!” Myra raised her voice to interrupt Elsie. I think I finally have an idea of what’s happening


    now—the quality of the design draft from the Chase Group is not satisfactory. Hence, the Hart Group is


    unhappy about it. How could she use that as an excuse to me everything on me?


    Myra was shaking with fury at this point. “Miss Foster, we are both designers. How could you not be


    able to tell that something is wrong if I were to hand you a design draft of subpar quality? Why would I


    dig my own grave?”


    “Who knows? You could have switched the design draft in the process! Besides, the Hart Group


    specifically mentioned that you have provoked them, which is why they are finding fault with the Chase


    Group!”


    Nobody knew how it happened, but it seemed that the Design Department Director learned about their


    fight when both of them were at each other’s throats. It happened that he was chatting with Sean at the


    time, so they both came over to the Design Department.


    Initially, Elsie was afraid of Sean when she saw him due to what transpired between them two days


    ago. Well, I am right this time, though. Besides, he demoted Myra to be my assistant. Isn’t that his way


    of caving in first? Hence, she ran to him, but she did not have the courage to reach out to him.


    Instead, sheined, as though she had been wronged, “Director Chase, you transferred Myra


    over as my subordinate, so I was kind enough to nurture her. However, she has embarrassed me in


    front of the Hart Group and they now have a bad impression of the Chase Group. For the Sunny Bay


    Project this time, the Hart Group has specifically singled her out as being irresponsible. They imed


    that her design draft is crude and they even threatened to end their coboration with the Chase


    Group!” She blurted everything in one go while shoving the me onto Myra. She acted as if she had


    long forgotten the identity of the person who idly loafed around while refusing to participate in the


    beginning.


    Myra smiled bitterly because she knew that she should not harbor any hope for justice. Nevertheless,


    she was filled with anticipation anyway. She looked up at Sean, whom she had not seen for some time,


    before she exined with a hoarse and gravelly voice, “I drew the design draft with seriousness, so I


    do not have any idea how it progressed to this stage. However—”


    “Apologize to Miss Foster.” Sean interrupted her before she couldplete her sentence.


    A stunned Myra looked at the handsome but cold man standing in front of her. “D-Director C-Chase,


    this matter—”


    “Miss Stark, you have been working in thepany for two years now. Aren’t you familiar with the


    rules?” Sean nced at Myra and his icy gaze sent shivers down her spine. “You have to apologize


    first since you’ve made a mistake. On the other hand, since your mistake has affected ourpany’s


    project progress, thepany has no choice but to consider the options of either firing you or sending


    you an attorney’s letter, Miss Stark. We might have to involve the solicitors to handle this matter.”


    Involving the solicitors to handle this matter, he says? I have never been so humiliated before in my life!


    There is just a small issue with the project, but Sean is using this as an excuse to punish me without


    taking into ount our rtionship as husband and wife! Furthermore, even if the blueprint is crude,


    the only possible issue is that Ick certain abilities. He can’t possibly expect me to bear the


    responsibility alone!


    “Why should I apologize to her?” Myra suddenly burst out inughter, but her facial features were


    contorted into an ugly grimace. “If Miss Foster hadn’t sent me away when we went to the Hart Group


    for the meeting today, the Hart Group would have reprimanded me even if that was their intention. In


    that case, she would not have felt embarrassed. As for the crude quality of the design draft… If Miss


    Foster had helped out with the design draft, do you think that the Chase Group would have been


    ridiculed based on her capabilities?”


    She was clearly mocking Elsie with her sarcasm, causing thetter’s expression to drastically change.


    “Myra, how dare you use me! You are at fault now. How dare you me others! I am disgusted by


    such a cruel and vindictive woman such as yourself!”


    “Did you call me cruel and vindictive?” Myra started trembling in anger. I have neverpeted with


    anyone in thepany, nor have I tried fighting for anything. However, this woman, who has snatched


    my husband away, is ying the victim while using me of being cruel and vindictive.


    She lifted her hand to massage her temples and her expression instantly turned cold. ”Miss Foster,


    may I know who drew the design draft? When we went to the Hart Group for the meeting earlier, you


    stopped me from joining. You said that I would embarrass the Chase Group with my status in the


    “I…” Elsie’s pupils constricted in shock when she heard that, but she stubbornly straightened her back.


    “Do you think people here would believe you, especially since you are making no sense?!”


    “I am making no sense, did you say? In that case, should I assume that whatever you’ve just told


    Director Chase, was purely nonsense, Miss Foster?!” Myra red at Elsie. Myra’s anger had stopped


    her from being bullied further. “Why don’t wepare the data of the design drafts? Nothing is more


    convincing than the truth—”


    “Enough!” An angry voice boomed loudly and it interrupted her speech.


    An impatient Sean icily gazed at her. Myra felt herself shudder and her heart instantly sank.


    “Miss Stark, since you are the one who made a mistake first, you will be deducted three months’ worth


    of sry. Furthermore, since your negligence has cost the Chase Group our coboration project with


    the Hart Group, the Chase Group will—”


    “Who says that I have cost us the coboration project with the Hart Group?” Myra clenched her fists


    tightly when she saw Elsie gloating. Her palms were mmy, but that was nothingpared to the


    heartache she felt. She looked at Sean and her heart started to fall apart in despair. After that night, he


    doesn’t even bother to treat me courteously in public. He does not want to divorce me, but he wouldn’t


    give me the chance to exin myself…


    “Earlier, Miss Foster merely imed that if this were to continue, the Chase Group would not be able to


    work with the Hart Group. It means that there is still hope of the twopanies working together.” Myra


    endured the excruciating pain in her chest while holding her tears back. She gazed directly into Sean’s


    eyes while trying her best to maintain herst shred of dignity. “Since it’s my fault, I will secure the


    project!”

    “Miss Foster, it is easier said than done. Why should we trust you in securing the coboration with the


    Hart Group?” Myra was about to leave, but Elsie stopped her.


    Myra turned and her eyes were bloodshot by that point. She stared at Elsie unblinkingly. “Since I


    secured the coboration in the beginning, it has nothing to do with you even if I were to lose it in the


    end, Elsie!”


    “How dare you!” Elsie’s face flushed with anger, but Myra had already turned to leave the ce without


    another backward nce. This is how I feel each time I leave Sean. I always leave while feeling the


    hurt that he has inflicted upon my whole body, but he has never tried to stop me. I always leave


    alone…


    Elsie, who was behind Myra, stomped her feet in anger. “Director Chase, you saw it yourself! Myra is


    just too arrogant!”


    Well, Sean has reprimanded Myra severely in front of me this time. This is such a sweet and happy


    feeling. Elsie assumed that she had now reconciled with Sean, but she missed her mark when she


    reached out to tug at his sleeve.
