Chapter 45 I Can Protect You

Book:CEO's Substitute Bride Published:2024-5-1

The office was quiet for a long time.
I just heard Daniell Cook say, “If you really think so, I respect your decision, but…”He paused and continued, “If one day you can’t pretend anymore, you can believe I can really survive from Sean Jessop and protect my company and you. You have to remember to come back.”
His words made me feel extremely guilty.
I couldn’t remember how I left that office that day.
But as soon as I got back to the villa, I changed all my clothes and put on my cheap skirt.
This was the real me.
The next month passed in a blur.
I couldn’t even find a goal to live on.
Daniell Cook called me occasionally and if I didn’t answer, he sent me a message.
I didn’t return either.
One day, I got a call from Angie.
When I answered the phone, she gave me a violent scolding.
Only then did I know that something had happened to Universe Design Co. LTD.
I resigned from Universe Design Co. LTD as Sean Jessop said. I stayed at home and had nothing to do every day.
But he was not satisfied. He harassed Universe Design Co. Ltd.
Some people maliciously spread the scandal of Universe Design Co. LTD on the internet, resulting in the loss of many customers of Universe Design Co. LTD.
Now Universe Design Co. LTD was close to bankruptcy.
I didn’t believe it.
But Angie let me go to Universe Design Co. LTD to have a look!
I went there and when I saw a room full of designers sitting in the office, I knew Angie was telling the truth.
Everyone looked at me unfriendly.
Someone passed by and a cup of coffee was spilled on me. After that, she apologized to me in an odd tone.”It was Mrs. Jessop. I didn’t see you.”
I didn’t blame them.
Daniell Cook wasn’t there and I went to Angie and asked, “What evidence is there to prove that Sean Jessop did these things, not the malicious competition of its peers?”
Angie looked at me and sneered.”Daniell Cook has all the evidence. He doesn’t want to confront Sean Jessop. He’s afraid that Sean Jessop will hurt you because you are Mrs. Jessop!”
Later, she drove me to a cafe.
I saw Daniell Cook talking respectfully to clients. He was not at all as confident as he used to be.
My hands were so tight.
I hated it!
I had done everything Sean Jessop told me to do but he still did it to Daniell Cook!
After that day, I returned to Universe Design Co. Ltd.
I didn’t know how much I can help Daniell Cook but I wanted to help him as much as I can.
I suggested that they go to the street to hand out leaflets but nobody moved so I went by myself.
I handed out leaflets from dawn to dark and did not rest on weekends.
Eventually, the company received some design of the apartment scatteredly. Everyone felt good and they all went to help.
The company had finally improved.
About a month later, the company received the design of an independent clothing studio again. The customer was generous and we couldn’t neglect him.
Finally, the job was given to Angie.
Angie asked me to be her assistant and I’d be happy to say yes.
When we first went to that studio, I understood why the client was so generous.
This studio was located in the center of the city. If it was a restaurant, a shop or even a coffee shop, it would surely make a lot of money but it was a clothing studio.
I could only say that with money you could do whatever you wanted.
It was a man named Luke who came to pay and communicate with us.
However, when we arrived at the studio, Luke suddenly said that he helped his boss contact us, and later his boss would come to us personally to talk about specific plans and ideas.
