Being thrown hard on the floor, the director gritted his teeth and stood up, intending to curse loudly, but when he saw that the person raising his fist was the deputy general director of Global Group, his mouth immediately stiffened.
Before he could regain consciousness, Lyle punched him in the face and stomach, causing him so much pain that he lay flat on the floor and groaned.
“Mr. Lyle, what did I do to you that you hit me?”
“If you offend her, it means you're offending me.”
“Why? What authority do you have?”
“Because she is an artist of Global Group and I am her manager, okay?”
After finishing speaking, Lyle turned to Rosalind, picked up the coat and put it on her, then carried her out of the room.
Luckily he was near this place just now. If he had been a little late, he wouldn't know what would have happened.
Alisa made an excuse that she needed to go to the hospital to check her ankle and left, asking Lyle to take Rosalind home.
The close friends around them could all feel his affection for Rosalind.
During the whole journey, no one said a word to anyone. It was not until the car stopped in front of Rosalind's house that Lyle slowly spoke.
“Tomorrow morning, come to my office to sign the contract. Under the management of Global Group, you will quickly return to your peak.”
“Lyle…”
“Sorry for not telling you earlier, I was planning to let you rest for a while longer. First, you and Dylan will appear at events, I will allocate resources later.”
“Is this your decision?”
“Both of us. We are both businessmen, so we do whatever can make a profit.”
Rosalind nodded slightly and opened the car door to get out. She stood silently on the porch watching the car disappear.
During this time, Lyle often spent time visiting and caring for her, making her think he had other intentions.
However, today she understood. It turns out he did it all just because he believed she would make money for the corporation.
The two girls who were once entangled in a love affair with Dylan are now lost in the whirlwind of making a living, and they are very similar. While Rosalind has just found someone to rely on, Nancy is still busy looking for projects.
This afternoon, after receiving permission to have dinner together from Harry, who is also the project director of Nova Group, Nancy and Jolie eagerly applied makeup and changed clothes early.
This corporation is very famous in the construction world, so the two girls tried their best to approach Harry. Nancy got Harry's contact number from Ricky. She also didn't expect that she was just calling to try her luck, but he answered in just seven notes.
When the clock struck six o'clock in the afternoon, the two girls got in the car and headed to the meeting place.
Different from Nancy's imagination of the young master of a tycoon family, Harry in real life looked quite friendly and sociable, even a bit childish. The assistant next to him stood out with his buck teeth.
As soon as the assistant met Jolie, he talked a lot and even offered to get to know each other better. Harry was also enthusiastic about matchmaking for them.
The two women could only look at each other and smile. No one knew that Jolie was a flower with an owner, she still carried the label of a cheerful single lady to make it easier to be diplomatic.
“Nancy, even if I don't work for the company anymore, I don't plan to sell sweet soup.” Jolie tilted her head and said softly, just loud enough for Nancy to hear.
“Even if you sell sweet soup, you still have a coconut scraper.” Nancy replied in a low voice.
The assistant looked at the two girls who were smiling the whole time and thought that Jolie had accepted him.
After the meal, he excitedly invited everyone to the nightclub to have fun. Harry, who likes bustling places, immediately agreed.
Of course, the two girls had to agree to go with him because he was the one who assigned the work. Now, if he told them to climb mountains or wade through streams, they would have to try to follow him, unless they didn't want to receive the work from him anymore.
Under the flashing multicolored lights and loud sounds, the four people swayed to the music.
Nancy didn't want this, but since she was here, she had to dance because everyone was dancing and it would be weird if she stood still.
Nancy was swaying when she suddenly saw the waitress bring a bottle of wine and place it on the table. She was stunned and looked at the girl without blinking. When the girl turned away, Nancy quickly reached out to pull her back.
“Donna, you work here, huh?”
“Sister.”
The two girls recognized each other and were so happy that they almost cried. There were so many things they wanted to ask and talk about, but it was difficult in this space.
When Harry saw Nancy meeting someone she knew, he immediately leaned towards her, asked her to introduce him, and invited Donna to have a glass of wine with him.
Because the music was too loud, Harry couldn't hear the girl's name clearly, so he leaned his head and ear close to Donna and asked again.
From a distance, Daniel saw this scene and immediately became angry, thinking that the man was molesting his woman, so he rushed forward, raised his fist, and punched hard.
Poor Harry's assistant, Daniel's punch came at the same time Harry bent down to pick up the phone and he was grinning at Jolie, so he took the full punch for his boss.
He screamed in horror, the pain made him unable to see anything, his mouth was full of blood, and several permanent teeth were missing.
Daniel was no better, his hand hit the assistant's teeth, and blood spurted, he didn't know how to relieve the pain, just shook it back and forth, hissing.
After picking up the phone, Harry looked up and saw that the scene was in ruins. He and Daniel quickly recognized each other and called each other's names at the same time.
After listening to Harry's explanation and Nancy's testimony, Daniel softened his voice and apologized. Harry looked over at his assistant and sighed.
“Don't cry anymore, tomorrow I'll give you money to fix your entire set of teeth.”
The assistant was also very dissatisfied with his teeth but did not have the budget to restore them because he had only been accepted into this position by Harry for more than a month.
Now, in misfortune, he was lucky, his boss would pay for the entire cost of fixing his teeth, so he was overjoyed, immediately stopped crying, and did not complain anymore.
After paying the bill, Nancy hurriedly saved Donna's phone number and left with everyone.
After Harry's car left, Daniel told Nancy to talk to him for a while. Jolie understood what he meant and got into the car to wait.
“Daniel, are you and Donna in a cold war?”
“Cousin, our story is long, I will tell you when I have the chance. And you, what happened to you? The president of Global Group sent his staff to find me to ask about your whereabouts. Are you avoiding him?”
“Daniel, please don't tell him. Don't tell him I work at Lucky Company.”
“I won't say anything, but this city is so small, if you keep going to this restaurant or that nightclub, you'll definitely meet him.”
Nancy bowed her head and did not reply. It was not that she had not thought about what he said, it was just that she did not know what to do.
She only wanted to help her best friend a little so that things would be better, then she would leave, go to a faraway place, and continue her life.
“If you have any difficulties, just call me, I sincerely consider you as my sister. Or, let me introduce you to some projects. After all, you are a girl, running around like that...”
“Yes, I will call you when needed, thank you, cousin.”
“My lover pours wine, my cousin drinks wine. Why am I so miserable?”
Daniel smiled lightly, patted Nancy's shoulder to encourage her, then turned back and waited for Donna to finish her shift.
Now, other than shamelessly following her to ask for forgiveness, he had no other choice.
When the clock struck two in the morning, Donna left the nightclub. She took a taxi with a few female waitresses.
As soon as she reached the alley, she saw Daniel's car coming, she quickly rushed into the house.
He also hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran after her, grabbed the door tightly, begging her to let him talk for a few minutes, but she firmly refused, removed his hand, and pushed him out.
His wound from earlier was bleeding again. He grimaced and stood up, complaining.
“I got hurt because of you, don't you feel sorry for me?”
“You did it yourself, don't blame anyone. Go away, I forgive you, okay? From now on, don't appear in front of me again.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the door slammed shut. Daniel sat down on the porch in frustration.
On the winter night, he felt that he was worse than the little match girl, at least she had a box of matches to keep warm, but he didn't even have a single match. Fortunately, the snow stopped falling today.
While feeling sorry for himself, the door suddenly opened, and he quickly stood up. Through the dim light of the desk lamp, he saw her face cold as ice.
“Why haven't you left yet? I already said I forgive you, what other reason do you have? Why do you have to suffer like this?”
“I love you, Donna…”
“Go home. If you want to say anything, come see me at work tomorrow.”
Daniel thought he had misheard, but he was afraid that Donna would change her mind, so he quickly turned away.
She sighed and looked after him, but when he just turned his head, she immediately closed the door. Hot tears rolled down her cheeks. There was a wall between them and she could hardly close her eyes to overcome it.
Just now, her friend who worked at the editorial office called her, informing her that she could go to work the day after tomorrow without having to go through an interview. The reason is very simple: she used to be an employee of Global Group.
