Chapter 5 The Hellish Embarrassing Situation
The people who had been chatting animatedly just now immediately fell silent when they saw Chloe Redford. It was so quiet in the office that one could hear a pin drop.
“Why are you here?”
As soon as the words came out, Scarlett Darcy realized she had said the wrong thing.
She didn’t dare to say another word, because she didn’t know how much of what they said Chloe Redford had heard.
The others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

This kind of hellish embarrassing situation was really cringe–worthy, enough to make one feel like digging out a three–bedroom and one–living–room apartment with their toes!
The expression on Scarlett Darcy’s face changed again and again, and she couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart.
She was even a bit excited. She had long been looking forward to Chloe Redford finding out about her relationship with Jasper Ellis!
It was better to be discovered now. Anyway, she had had enough of the days of hiding and concealing!
“Since you’ve heard it all, I..”
“Heard what?”

Chloe Redford suddenly took off the earphones from her ears and walked up to Scarlett Darcy.
The words that were on the tip of Scarlett Darcy’s tongue were swallowed back down.
“You… were you wearing earphones all the time just now? Didn’t you hear what we were saying?”
“Yeah. What were you guys chatting about just now? You weren’t speaking ill of me, were you?”
Chloe Redford’s gaze fell on those people. Some of them pretended to be busy, while others lowered their heads, not daring to meet Chloe Redford’s eyes.
Scarlett Darcy quickly reacted and put on a smile, linking her arm through Chloe

Over time, people in the company thought that Scarlett Darcy was capable. Many even thought that Chloe Redford only kept Scarlett Darcy as an assistant because she was jealous of Scarlett Darcy’s talent.
Since Scarlett Darcy wanted everyone to see her ability, then she would give her this opportunity.
“Chloe, I…”
Scarlett Darcy didn’t expect that Chloe Redford would suddenly ask her about work, and it was in front of so many people. Most importantly, she hadn’t done it at all.
“What’s the matter? Is there a problem? I asked you to prepare it last month. Haven’t you finished it yet?”

Scarlett Darcy still wanted to fob it off as she had done before and said with a smile,
“How could that be? It’s not a difficult job. I’ve already finished it. It’s just that you suddenly mentioned it, and I didn’t react in time. I’ll send it to you later.”
Chloe Redford could see through her thoughts, but this time she wouldn’t give her another chance.
“Alright then. We’ll have a meeting in the office in ten minutes. Scarlett, get prepared and present it directly at the meeting later.”
“What? I…”
Before Scarlett Darcy could finish her words, Chloe Redford had already returned to the office.

“Scarlett, come on! The ‘Lady Stoneheart‘ has finally given you a chance to show ability. If you do well this time, she definitely won’t have a reason to keep you as an assistant!”
“Yeah! The design department welcomes you!”
Scarlett Darcy listened to the flattery from the people around her and felt extremely annoyed. She had nothing prepared. How was she going to present it later?
Even though she was reluctant, at this moment, she could only bite the bullet and go to find Chloe Redford.
It was better than losing face in front of so many people in the company.
After making up her mind, Scarlett Darcy

“It doesn’t matter. You’ve been by my side for so long, and it’s just about collecting materials and presenting a report. You should have confidence in yourself.”
Chloe Redford’s voice wasn’t soft, and basically everyone in the company heard it and looked over.
At this time, Scarlett Darcy couldn’t say anything more. After all, she also knew that what Chloe Redford asked her to do wasn’t really difficult.
Forget it. Fortunately, Jasper Ellis would be coming to the company soon, and he would definitely be able to cover it up for her.
Thinking of this, Scarlett Darcy wasn’t anxious anymore.

“Good morning, Mr. Ellis!”
“Good morning!”
When Scarlett Darcy heard Jasper Ellis’s voice, her heart skipped a beat. But because Chloe Redford was still there, she couldn’t show it too obviously.
She took a step forward, wanting to tell Jasper Ellis what had happened just now, but Jasper Ellis directly ignored her and walked towards Chloe Redford.
“Chloe, why did you come to the company without waiting for me to pick you up?”
As he spoke, he put his arm around Chloe Redford’s waist and was about to kiss her.
The approach of Jasper Ellis was as

disgusting to Chloe Redford as a toad climbing onto her foot.
She dodged slightly, and Jasper Ellis missed.
Not wanting Jasper Ellis to notice anything, Chloe Redford could only pretend to be shy.
“Everyone in the company is still here. Aren’t you embarrassed!”
Scarlett Darcy’s eyes were already red, but she could only grit her teeth and say with a smile,
“Mr. Ellis is so good to you!”
Facing Scarlett Darcy’s resentful gaze, Jasper Ellis coughed uncomfortably and said,
“Chloe, let me introduce you!

He motioned with his hand to the person behind him. “This is Eric, the art director of the French company Zibra. He’s here to inspect our company today. If there’s a chance in the future, our products can be sold in Zibra’s shopping malls.”
Jasper Ellis’s voice couldn’t hide his excitement. After all, being able to be sold in Zibra was a privilege that only big–name jewelry brands could have.
No wonder Jasper Ellis was willing to fawn over Chloe Redford in front of Scarlett Darcy today.
“Loey! Nice to meet you again!”
Eric reached out his hand in a gentlemanly manner and took the initiative to greet Chloe Redford.

“Eric, long time no see!”
“You two know each other?”
Jasper Ellis was a bit surprised.
“Loey is the only girl who has ever broken my heart. Of course I remember her”
“Eric, you still like to joke so much. Eric invited me to work in France before, but I didn’t go because of some reasons.”
As for what those reasons were, Jasper Ellis guessed it was because of himself.
The man’s vanity was satisfied, and he couldn’t help feeling proud. He put his arm around Chloe Redford and said with a smile to Eric,

“That’s really a coincidence. Chloe is myny fiancée. We hope you’ll do us the honor of of coming to our wedding and having a glass of of wedding wine with us.”
“Of course! Congratulations to you two. I’ve long heard that Loey has a very excellent fiancé and she’s willing to stay in the United States and refuse better job offers. So, the lucky guy is you!”
“Yeah! Chloe is my lucky goddess!”
Jasper Ellis put his arm around Chloe Redford, his eyes full of love.
Scarlett Darcy beside them was so jealous that she almost gritted her molars. Since Jasper Ellis came in, he hadn’t even given her a single glance. Now he was being so intimate with Chloe Redford in front of her!

“Everyone,, let’s not stand here anymore. Let’s
go to the office!”
Everyone followed and went to the conference room. Chloe Redford first introduced the main design concepts of VERILUXE and the products designed before. Eric was very satisfied.
“Loey, you really never disappoint! However, our company will launch a theme of diamond elements in the next quarter. I wonder if you have any ideas about the jewelry design in this aspect.”
“Of course!”
Chloe Redford smiled and looked at Scarlett Darcy.
“Scarlett has been sorting out these materials since a month ago. Scarlett, come
