HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 82: Vomiting Blood

The next moment, the meeting room fell into silence. Those who satirised Estelle all shut their mouths, and everyone looked at her with amazement in their eyes. Estelle, who was exhausted, was proud when seeing their reaction. She turned to Tim and said gently, “Mr. Roberts, let me introduce my design now. First of all, I changed the turquoise to obsidian. Black can make people look mature and stable, and it’s suitable for elderly people.” “At the same time, obsidian goes with everything and is popular among young people. Second, the style of the previous design of this necklace was too old-fashioned, so I used the tassels to connect the obsidian and the chain. Now the whole necklace looks chicer. And this brooch...” In the following minutes, she introduced her design in detail, including what modifications she had made to the previous design, why she did that and why the modification matched the requirements of customers more. The people in the meeting room all listened to her with rapt attention. And after Estelle finished her demonstration, they held their breath and looked at Tim simultaneously, waiting for his final decision. Tim took a deep breath and said calmly, “You can go to the personnel department to sign the contract.” “What?” Estelle was confused. Bob said with his face full of joy. “Congratulations, Miss Hudson. You’re an employee in our company now!” “Really?” Tim continued, “Your monthly salary is forty thousand dollars. Besides, you’ll get twenty percent for every design that you take over. Is there any problem?” Hearing this, Estelle was overjoyed and immediately said, “No problem!” “Hurry up to go through the relevant formalities. Our clients will come in the afternoon. Get ready for it. If the deal can be closed, you can get a commission of eighty thousand dollars.” Estelle was almost open-mouthed when hearing such a good offer. When she searched for information about Only Love Jewelry on the Internet before, she saw a post

saying that Only Love Jewelry was not short of money but talent. And if a designer is capable enough, they would be well-paid. But only a few people could get a high salary. “Thank you, Mr. Roberts!” Estelle said, very thrilled. “Don’t mention it. Besides, it’s still a big problem that you don’t know how to use the design software. Learn how to use it in three days, or you will be fired. Got it?” “Got it!” “The meeting is over,” Tim said briefly and strode out of the meeting room. After he left, all the others rushed to his seat and looked at Estelle’s design drawing on the table. “What do you think of it?” “It’s awesome.” “Oh, my God! She’s so amazing. My professor used to draw design sketches too, but he couldn’t draw precisely.” While the others were talking, Bob patted Estelle’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Miss Hudson, let’s go to the personnel department. I’ll take you to go through the formalities.” “Okay. Thank you,” Estelle nodded. “Miss Hudson, you are really...” Before Bob finished his words, Estelle suddenly felt uncomfortable in her chest, and her throat constricted. “Cough! Cough!” The next moment, she vomited blood, and the white floor was stained red. “Miss Hudson!” Bob exclaimed in panic. “It’s okay,” Estelle said and slowly stood up straight with a pale face. “Don’t worry.” Bob looked at her worriedly, “Are you sick? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?” “No, thanks. I’ve brought medicine with me. I’ll be fine after taking it.” “Are you sure?” “Yes,” Estelle said as she took out the painkillers from her bag. Then she poured one pill out of the bottle and swallowed it directly. Then she found that there was only one pill left in the bottle. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

After a few minutes, the pain in her chest was alleviated a little, and she felt better. “I’m sorry, Bob. I dirtied the floor. I’ll clean it right now,” Estelle said apologetically. “No, no, no. You don’t need to do that. You are a designer now, and your hands are very precious. I’ll let the cleaner clean the floor later. Miss Hudson, are you really all right? You don’t look well.” Estelle said, “I’m alright. I’m used to it. Don’t worry, Bob. I promise I won’t delay my work.” “... All right.” After Estelle went through the formalities in the personnel department, Bob took her to her office cubicle. “Estelle, this is your cubicle. You’ll work here from now on. Come on. You are the best!” Estelle smiled and said, “Thank you.” “You’re welcome. We are colleagues. If you need any help, just let me know. And... you’ll also be responsible for Mr. Hans’ order. So please pay more attention to it. After all, Mr. Hans is our big client. It will be a pity if we lose him.” Hearing this, Estelle thought it necessary to clarify her relationship with Cristofer. “Bob, I broke up with Mr. Hans a long time ago. And as you know, he is about to get married to his fiancee. I’m nothing to him now. Therefore, whether we can close the deal with him is not up to me,” she said. Bob said regretfully, “All right. Well, I always feel that his fiancee looks a little familiar.” “Have you met her before?” “I can’t remember. Maybe I’ve seen her somewhere before. After all, we work in the design industry, and it’s normal that we often meet people in the upper class. It’s very likely that we met before.” Estelle nodded without saying anything. “Estelle, you may have a rest first. Drink some warm water,” Bob said gently. “Okay,” Estelle said with a smile. After Bob left, she sighed with mixed feelings. She didn’t expect that her first workday in Only Love Jewelry would start with vomiting blood and suffering a relapse. She was very happy to get the job, but her relapse ruined her good mood. Since she had lung surgery, she has never vomited blood until today.

She guessed that her vomiting blood was because the cancer cells might have invaded other parts of her body. Her heart sank when she thought about it. **** In the afternoon, Bob came to her and said happily, “Miss Hudson, the clients are very satisfied with the jewellery that you designed. They want to see you now. Come with me.” Hearing this, Estelle stood up and followed him to the VIP reception room. Then she saw the mother and daughter that Bob had mentioned. The mother looked in her early fifties, and the daughter must be about her age. “Mrs. Green, Miss Green, this is the designer, Estelle. Estelle, this is Mrs. Green and Miss Green,” Bob introduced Estelle and the clients to each other. “Hi, Mrs. Green and Miss Green. I’m Estelle. Nice to meet you.” Estelle greeted the mother and daughter with a smile.
