Chapter 883 Unpleasant Rumors


    Everyone stared at J, waiting for her to tell the truth.


    J stood still, stunned. Her eyes narrowed as she looked over at Dalores. There was a


    triumphant expression on Dalores1 face.


    It was an undeniable truth that J had been involved in the Draco situation, but Jorge,


    Elizabeth''s ex-boyfriend, had been involved too. If J told the truth, it would only raise more


    questions. .


    "There was an ident on the way to the airport," she said finally, "It wasn''t a big deal. Don''t think


    about it too much. Besides, the rumors aren''t true. Don''t believe them." J tried to exin as


    briefly and as vaguely as she could.


    However, Dalores wasn''t so easily satisfied. "Your exnation is far too perfunctory," she said


    suspiciously. "You haven''t said anything we didn''t already know. Since Mr. Wesley doesn''t want to


    exin, it''s down to you to exin on his behalf. There''s been rumors swirling around about you


    too, you know. But, being your colleagues, we didn''t dare mention them," she added.


    J stared at Dalores with cold, expressionless eyes. "Don''t spread rumors," she said firmly


    Dalores'' smile vanished, and she shrugged. "I don''t spread rumors," she said sulkily. "I just heard


    that the flight was suspended for no reason, and that it was the Larson Group who prevented the


    ne from taking off. You have no idea how nasty some of these rumors are. Someone said that it


    was Brandon who tried to kill Draco, because he was jealous of how close Draco was to you.


    Someone else said that you deliberately harmed Draco in order to go to Iridescent Show alone..."


    Dalores suddenly gasped and covered her mouth dramatically. "Oh, please don''t be angry, J.


    Did I say something I shouldn''t have?"


    J smiled serenely. "I knew you hadn''t turned over a new leaf," she said in a soft voice. "You still


    love to nder others..."


    Dalores looked pleased with herself. When all was said and done, she had still won back Draco''s


    trust. She no longer had to worry about being driven away by J.


    J scowled.


    Just then, Draco walked out of the office and interrupted them.


    "Tasha, pass these materials out to everyone, please," he said. "I''ve done some screening, and all


    of our current orders have been delegated to the most suitable designer," Draco exined. "There


    are many orders, so we''re about to be very busy for some time. Thank you in advance for your hard


    work."


    Tasha put down her cake and took hold of the document. Almost everyone had been delegated an


    order, including a small one for herself.


    "Mr. Wesley, these orders..." she began. Tasha was more thankful than she could say.

    "Don''t worry," said Draco kindly. "You''ve been working with W Marks for a while. I''ve seen your


    design, and I think it is in line with the order I arranged for you." With a rxed expression on his


    face, Draco looked quite gentle.


    Tasha nodded. She distributed the document to every designer. After getting her copy, J


    opened it and read it carefully. Hers was the only order that required a high-grade customized


    dress, and the quoted price was the highest by far.


    "Mr. Wesley, this seems beyond my capability," she said, full of doubt. It was the first time J had


    been delegated such an important order.


    "You went to Iridescent Show and achieved great sess on behalf of W Marks," Draco replied.


    "You deserve this order." Draco smiled faintly. Perhaps due to his recovery, or to overuse, his voice


    was a little weak.


    J nodded obediently. "I will do my best," she said. Still holding the document, J smiled at


    Draco and said, "Mr. Wesley, it''s time for you to go back and get some rest."


    She couldn''t help but notice that Draco was looking a lot more haggard than he''d looked earlier.


    "Wait a minute!" interrupted Dalores. "Mr. Wesley, why haven''t I been delegated an order?" Looking


    around, Dalores had noticed that everyone had a project to work on but her.


    She was confused. Over the past few days, Draco''s attitude towards her had changed, indicating


    that perhaps he was willing to give her another chance.


    So why hadn''t she received a project now? It seemed incredibly unfair.


    Draco looked at Dalores with disappointment in his eyes. Without further exnation, he


    announced that he was going home. "I''m quite tired from today''s dealings," he said.


    Upon leaving, he left instructions for the personnel. "The studio''s arrangements for Dalores haven''t


    changed," he said. "After her current project isplete, she needn''te back again."
