I was not diffident. Although I was very confident in my own design, I couldn't be compared with an international master.
Just as I was quietly thinking about how to design with my own inspiration, I felt that I was watched by a pair of cold and angry eyes.
I turned my head reflexively, but there was nobody behind me. I looked at the box behind me with confusion, and I felt creepy.
Was it my illusion? I clearly felt that someone was looking at me.
I looked back again and tried to figure out who it was.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Sinwu put down the red wine in his hand. Looking at the strange look on my face, he couldn't help but ask me.
I came to sense and pursed my lips. I shook my head and said, "No, nothing. It's just my illusion."
Just as I was about to eat my food, a low and hoarse voice sounded behind us.
"Mr. Sylvie, I didn't expect that you came to Beijing in advance. Why didn't you tell me?"
Was this William's voice?
I clenched the spoon in my hand.
I pursed my lips and looked back. As expected, I saw William in a black suit.
I hadn't seen him for a long time. When I saw him, my heart was full of hatred.
If it weren't for him, Edward wouldn't have died, and my child wouldn't have died either. It was all William's fault.
But I knew that I didn't have the ability to fight against him. He was getting more and more powerful in Beijing. If I fight against him, it would be like throwing an egg against a stone.
"Do you come here to eat? What a coincidence." Sinwu got up and shook hands with William in an unusually elegant and gentle manner.
William chuckled. He glanced at Sinwu and then turned to look at me.
"Ashley, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you say hello to me?"
William's attitude was naturally intimate, as if the hatred between us did not exist. I used to think that Betty was very good at pretending.
After seeing William that day, I found that he pretended much better than Betty did.
"How dare I?" I looked at William with sarcasm and said with a poker face.
"You're still angry with me."
William smiled and sat beside me.
Looking at William's natural behavior, I felt a little angry.
I held back the anger in my heart and looked at him coldly. "Don't be so nervous. Mr. Sylvie is the chairman of the French company, if you do something bad, you will let him down. Because he is a stickler for perfection."
Seeing that I was about to say something, William suddenly got close to me and warned me in a low voice.
Hearing what he said, my body froze.
Sylvie? The organizer of this design competition? And also the chairman of the French company?
I didn't expect that the man I met by accident was the chairman of the big French company.
Just as I was in shock, Sinwu said apologetically, "Sorry, Ashley, I didn't mean to hide my identity."
"No, I'm not angry. I'm just flattered." I looked at Sinwu and said in a dull voice.
The chairman of the French company had chatted with me in the library for such a long time? I didn't realize that Sinwu was noble and extraordinary. I was so stupid.
"Do you know Ashley?"
William looked at Sinwu and me with a thoughtful look, and he was thinking about something.
Looking at the expression on his face, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
My face darkened. I looked at William's face coldly and said sarcastically, "What do you want to ask me?"
"Ashley, you don't need to be so hostile to me." William looked at me with an extremely spoiled gaze, as if he was tolerant of my waywardness.
Looking at him, I felt so disgusted.
I felt a chill all over my body and gave him a cold look. When I was about to speak, Sinwu looked at me and William curiously.
"Your relationship is very subtle. Are you lovers?"
"No."
