Chapter 742 New Project


    J held her breath anxiously as she waited for the call to be picked up, but she was met with a


    cold robotic voice that told her that this number didn''t exist.


    It seemed that whoever was after her was well-prepared. Obviously, the person who had sent her


    the text didn''t want to be traced, so they had the number they used erased right after sending the


    message.


    Although she wasn''t techie, J knew it wouldn''t be difficult to do such a thing. Now, she was


    more certain that it wasn''t Charis''s ghost.


    Whoever was behind this just wanted to use Charis as a decoy to scare J. But what did they


    want? Why were they doing this to her?


    J racked her brains, trying to recall whether she had wronged any other person who had been


    around Charis...


    Who could it be?


    "Hello? Earth to J! You forgot to turn off the water!" Suddenly, Elizabeth came out of nowhere


    and tapped J''s shoulder from behind.


    Only then did J snap out of her trance. She quickly turned off the tap.


    "What''s wrong? Are you okay?" Elizabeth could see that J''s mind was still elsewhere.


    She couldn''t help but frown in concern. "What''s going on, J? You seem a little out of it these


    days. Is it because of Dalores?"


    J looked at Elizabeth, only to see the worry written all over her friend''s face.


    She smiled reassuringly. "You''re overthinking things. She''s not bullying me. And now, I have my


    bodyguard with me. From now on, I''m sure she''ll think twice before making trouble for me."


    Elizabeth burst intoughter. She had also heard about what had happened that morning.


    Suddenly, a thought urred to her. She looked at J in confusion and asked, "Why''d you


    suddenly bring a bodyguard here?"


    While J exined, the two of them walked out of the bathroom together. "Didn''t you hear about


    what happenedst night? The billboard on the roof of this building fell down out of the blue."


    "Everyone said it was an ident. You know that our building is old." Elizabeth didn''t find it strange.


    Elizabeth didn''t know the whole story, which was a good thing in J''s eyes. That meant that she


    wasn''t in danger. So J didn''t exin everything in detail and imed that the bodyguards were


    hired by Brandon.


    When she returned to her station, she found arge bouquet of fresh red roses wrapped in ck


    wrapping paper on Elizabeth''s desk.


    "Oh, my God! They''re beautiful! This must be from Jorge, right?" J asked curiously.


    Truth be told, she didn''t like Jorge for Elizabeth and had hoped that Elizabeth would dump him. In


    her eyes, Elizabeth was an outstanding woman who deserved a better man.


    Jorge had already proven himself to be a domestic abuser and a drug addict, which of course made


    J worry about her friend.


    Elizabeth''s cheeks turned as red as the roses on her desk. She lowered her head shyly and


    pinched a rose petal with her fingers, leaving a slight mark on the petal. "Jorge has been so good to


    metely. It makes me feel like we''ve gone back to the past. I think he has really changed."


    J smiled and said nothing more. She didn''t want to spoil Elizabeth''s good mood, but she


    couldn''t shake off the bad feeling she had about Jorge.


    "Good morning,dies! We have a new design project. Mr. Wesley asked me to give you these


    materials." Tasha came over and briefed them on their new project. She told J, "In the


    afternoon, the client wille to the studio to pick a young designer to design the dresses they


    need. Everyone can participate in thepetition."


    Looking at the materials handed to her by Tasha, J instantly knew that it was for a dress. She


    used to do runway fashion, so she seldom epted such kind of couture project.

    She attached great importance to it, especially since it was her first project after returning to W


    Marks.


    She opened the document and found that the client''sst name was Harding.


    "Harding? Which Harding family is this?" She didn''t know much about the big families in Barnes, but


    she knew about the Harding family in Seacisco. Could they be rted?


    "It must be the Harding family from Seacisco.


    They also have a stronghold here in Barnes, which is now run by Garrett."
