Chapter 1310


    Misunderstood By Her...


    Stepping out of the restroom, Mandy reached for her makeup when a familiar figure near the


    washbasin caught her eye.


    Draco stood there, his icy gaze filled with disdain.


    Mandy''s heart raced instinctively as she felt Draco''s icy, disdainful gaze.


    Had Draco overheard her conversation with Vivi?


    "Draco..." she said hesitantly.

    He pursed his lips, looked away, and strode off.


    Flustered by his departure, Mandy rushed after him and grasped his hand, attempting to exin,


    "Draco, it''s not what you think. Please, hear me out."


    Draco gently freed his hand from her grasp, his frosty smile and t tone revealing his indifference.


    "Miss Hamilton, there''s no need to justify yourself to me."


    His cold demeanor left Mandy feeling humiliated.


    Was she a terrible person in his eyes?


    Did he believe she''d hurt J, prompting his frosty behavior?


    Draco shot her another icy nce and continued walking.


    Unable to bear the frigid atmosphere, Mandy blocked his path, her eyes welling up. "Do you really


    see me as despicable and shameless?" she choked out.


    The anguish of being misunderstood by her prince charming emboldened Mandy.


    She longed to rify that she wasn''t a shallow,


    malicious person.


    Even if she truly detested J, she''dpete honorably through her designs, not with


    underhanded tactics.


    Momentarily entranced by her resolve, Draco soon regained hisposure, regarded Mandy


    calmly, and replied tly, "You''ve misunderstood, Miss Hamilton. Your character is none of my


    concern."


    Tears brimming, Mandy''s voice quivered. "What do you mean it''s not your concern? Am I that


    insignificant to you, Draco?"


    Unmoved by her distress, Draco remained poised, his tone polite but distant. "Miss Hamilton, we


    have no real connection. At most, we''re merely peers in the design industry."


    His words shattered Mandy''s heart, the pain so suffocating that she struggled to breathe.


    Biting her lip, Mandy''s eyes reddened. Her tears threatened to spill.


    Knowing Draco already harbored a strong dislike for her, she didn''t want to prolong the scene by


    crying in front of the man she admired.


    Yet, she couldn''t bring herself to walk away either.


    She didn''t want Draco to misunderstand her, despite her disheveled state.


    And so, they stood in a silent standoff near the restroom door, neither one yielding.


    Atst, Draco''s heart softened, and he sighed. "Miss Hamilton, how long do you n to stand here


    blocking my path?"


    Feeling wronged, Mandy red at him. "I just want to tell you that I''m not the despicable and


    ipetent person you think I am. I aim to beat J, but only by relying on my own abilities!


    You''ll see. I''ll prove it to you!"


    Without waiting for his response, she spun around and dashed off.


    Draco watched her flustered retreat, his feelings inscrutable.


    Mandy found a secluded corner and lingered there, her heart gradually calming.


    Taking deep breaths, she reyed her bold deration, embarrassment threatening to engulf her.


    "Am I an idiot?" she muttered, stomping her foot. "I''ve ruined any chance I had with Draco!"
