The Austin family villa, Amelia Bright drove back, originally to back the car into the garage as usual, but found a white car across the door, directly blocking the garage door.
The driver, Lao Cai, was trimming the flowers in the yard, and Amelia Bright asked in passing.
“Uncle Cai, whose car is this? Is there a guest in the house?”
“Oh, it’s a friend of the lady’s car.”
The old Cai stood up and wiped his hands, “I guess it will leave soon, Madam, you give me the keys, I will park it in the garage for you later.”
“Then thank you, Uncle Cai.”
“You’re welcome, ma’am.”
Amelia Bright carried her bag to the house, not interested in what kind of friends Erlina Lee had come to see, she didn’t come from a good background, and the proper celebrities didn’t see her, they were just paying face to face, or asking her to do something.
“Mom.”
“Amelia is back,” Erlina Lee smiled kindly and introduced her to the woman on the sofa, “This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Amelia, and this is my cousin from my mother’s family, you should call her cousin.”
The woman said she was Erlina Lee’s cousin, but she looked much older than Erlina Lee, with a lot of folds on her face, inverted triangular eyes, a look of shrewdness, and very fancy clothes.
Amelia Bright called out to the person with a lot of respect.
“Hello, cousin.”
“Hey, this daughter-in-law of yours is good-looking and decent, no wonder your eldest son with that nature can like it.”
“That’s right, I picked her,” Erlina Lee proudly glanced at Amelia Bright, “By the way, Amelia, your cousin’s daughter is also working in the Austin Group, you have to take care of Chambers. ”
“Really? That’s right. What department does my cousin work in?”
“Advertising. She’s studying advertising design.”
At that, Amelia Bright’s heart tightened, and after a second’s pause, she smiled slightly, “Our design department doesn’t have too many dealings with the advertising department, but if there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll definitely help.
“Good, good,” the woman’s face was happy, praised, “really good at talking, at a glance this child is a lady out of the house, has the temperament.”
“Mom, you and cousin aunt chat first, I’ll go cut some fruit for you.”
In front of the guests to show a little understanding, is also to give Erlina Lee face, others praise two is worth ten times the effectiveness of her own good performance in front of Erlina Lee.
When she cut a fruit for five minutes and sent it over, Amelia Bright felt that Erlina Lee’s face was not as good as before, and seemed to have some anger.
She didn’t know why, but she found an excuse to slip back into her room before she was affected.
The bedroom door on the second floor was open a crack, and I could faintly hear the voices of two people talking downstairs.
“I didn’t believe it when Ai told me, after all, my cousin’s husband is such a decent person, and you’ve had a good relationship all these years, how could there be such a thing?”
“Nothing impossible, all these years if not for my tight watch, my position has long been replaced by those shameless vixens …”
“If I say ah, beautiful, you just turn a blind eye to forget, after all, your three children are so big, that little vixen again capable of what kind of trouble, why not leave some face to cousin husband, private to find that vixen to talk about it.”
“Turning a blind eye?” Erlina Lee slapped the table in anger, “Why? These little vixens just see that I never show up around Steven, so when I die, I still have to make a big mess this time …”
“…”
It was dark by the time Farren Austin returned, the troops had been rather busy lately and he rarely came back for dinner.
Amelia Bright had just finished her shower and was sitting in front of the computer. Through the door, she heard the maid talking to Farren Austin downstairs, and it didn’t take long for Farren Austin to enter the room.
“Back.” She greeted without looking back, fumbling a plum into her mouth.
“Hmm.”
The sound of a wheelchair scraping across the floor came from behind her.
“Did someone come by the house today?”
“Hmm? How do you know?” Amelia Bright touched a plum back and blinked, “The detective.”
The cousin aunt who had appeared out of nowhere had left before dinner.
“The cousin aunt was here.”
At that, Farren Austin gave an inaudible frown and stopped asking.
Amelia Bright, however, came to her senses and leaned over the back of her chair to ask, “Hey? I don’t know what she said to Mom after her cousin arrived, but then I heard her cursing downstairs, making the two new maids cry, and not eating dinner with us, so what happened?”
“If you want to know so badly, you can ask Mom.”
“Would I dare? The gun would be blasting at me.”
Farren Austin folded his arms and rested them casually on his knees as he looked at Amelia Bright and said.
“But I don’t look at you like you don’t know anything either.”
Amelia Bright was slightly stunned, and immediately vainly avoided his sullen gaze.
This man is really scary, obviously is usually the army and home two lines, but gives people a not go out but know the world’s affairs, as if everything is in his control.
And the most frightening thing is that she even felt recently as if Farren Austin knew she was not Amelia Bright.
The following day
The following day, the Austin Group building, coco’s designer Simon finally arrived, Steven Austin personally received, Amelia Bright and two teams of designers accompanying, enough to see the sincerity of the Austin Group to cooperate.
Simon is black, grew up in France, aged around fifty, well maintained body, talking and acting very gentlemanly and polite, seems to be very satisfied with everything, but only Amelia Bright knows that Simon is the most difficult one among the three designers of coco.
The French translator who accompanied Simon translated after Simon finished speaking, saying
“I’ve heard that the Austin Group is one of the leading jewelry brands in China, and I’ve heard a lot about it, but I did some homework before I came here.
Steven Austin laughed loudly.
“If we weren’t serious about jewelry, there wouldn’t be a place for the Austin Group in Hounslow today, although the Austin Group is now involved in other industries, but that doesn’t affect the fact that jewelry is still our most important brand. ”
After the translation, Simon nodded with seeming satisfaction and turned to ask
“Which one is your main designer?”
“This one, the director of our jewelry design department.” Steven Austin introduced with great pride.
“She is the runner-up of our current Hounslow jewelry design competition and the main designer of our spring/summer collection, the highest selling pieces in the Austin jewelry store are her works.”
Simon sized up Amelia Bright and with a smile on his face said something to the interpreter on the side.
No one in the room could understand it, but Amelia Bright smiled directly, and without waiting for the interpreter to speak, she asked in fluent French.
“Does Mr. Simon think I’m too young?”
All the people were stunned and looked at her in amazement.
