Chapter 8 Daniel Was Heartbreaking
Amber's face changed. She wanted to order a set of jewelry and selected this jewelry design company. But she didn't expect to see Freya as the chief designer of that company when she was flipping through the magazine.
Therefore, Amber immediately chose Freya to design the jewelry. Amber had been expecting Freya to be really pissed off when Freya saw her life was glorious. However, after a few days of picturing this in her head, what Amber saw was Freya's indifferent expression.
How could Amber be content to see this?
"Freya, don't you want to talk to me about the old times? How have you been doing lately?"
"Mrs. Dawson, if you are curious about my private life, you'd better leave! If you want me to work for you, please put forward your request."
Freya hated Amber so much that she was so desperate to deport her straight back to hell. But for the sake of her son, Freya could live with everything that was intolerable to her nature.
Amber sized her up with critical eyes. Freya looked rosey-cheeked with her glowing complexion. She was dressed nicely in a grey suit that fitted her perfectly, looking smart, capable, and experienced. What upset Amber even more was that Freya was the chief designer. But how could it be possible?
Freya was indeed talented at painting, but was just an amateur. However, four years apart, against Amber's expectations, Freya became so brilliant.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. Freya in her expectation should be down and out, incompetent and had better live at the bottom of the heap.
When Freya refused to talk about the past, Amber had to stand up and said, "You have three days to turn in a draft that I am satisfied with. If you can't do that, don't blame me for complaining to your boss about your incompetence, though you're my acquaintance. I'll see how long you can still be the chief designer." With that, Amber walked towards the door with an arrogant face. When she was about to reach the door, she turned around, raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and said, "Freya, this is my turf. It's not that easy for you to get through this."
Outside the conference room, a pair of large, black, jewel-toned eyes stared through the window at what was happening inside. Anger blazed out of his eyes. Damn, this woman dared to threaten and bully his mommy.
Freya squeezed her hands into fists because Amber's threat set her off. But Freya would not let her win.
She remained calm and fearless.
There was a disapproving look on Amber's face when she saw that Freya was neither worried nor terrified. "Freya, Edgar and I are very happy. I warn you not to appear before Edgar. The sight of you disgusts him."
Freya's lips curved upward into a mocking smile. She turned around and said, "I don't have time for this."
