I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 49

Chapter 49 President Pearson Asked if You Have Finished Working It turned out that the rich guy had been married a long time ago. Daphne didn’t know the rich guy was married at first. It was until his wife came out and slandered Daphne that she discovered that he had long been married. Thinking Daphne was the one who seduced her husband, the rich guy’s wife condemned her on the Internet by posting many intimate pictures of the two of them going out for dinner, hugging, and kissing.

The woman kept getting on Daphne’s tail. She adamantly wanted to force her out of the entertainment industry. Hence, besides posting intimate pictures of Daphne and the rich guy, she even hired paid posters and accounts to slander and make malicious remarks toward Daphne. And because of this incident, Daphne kept a low profile for a long time. Finally, Daphne replied, ‘Sadness is inevitable, but I believe she’s more reluctant to be kept in the dark than feeling sad.’ Drifting back from her thoughts, Leanna read Daphne’s reply and texted back. ‘Got it. I’ll find a suitable time to tell her.

‘ Putting down her phone, Leanna went into the bathroom. She splashed her face with some cold water and patted her cheeks, trying to wake herself up a little. No, I can’t be decadent like this anymore. I need to complete the design drawing in three days! Keeping that in mind, Leanna then got down to her design task. She thought it would take her to the very last second to complete the design drawing, but in reality, it only took her two and a half days to complete the sketch for the design. Then, she immediately sent it to Justin, thinking she should leave another half a day for her to make some amendments.

Unexpectedly, Justin promptly responded to her after she sent the sketch. ‘This is fine. Well done! I’ll have someone take it for processing.’ Leanna replied to him, ‘Sure. I’ll send you the drawing of the

completed design.’ After she sent the picture over, Justin sent another message two minutes later. ‘Will you agree to come if I wish to invite you to my mother’s birthday party?’ As Leanna looked at that line of text, she was stunned. Before she could even react and reply, Justin sent another message again.

‘What I have in mind is that my mother would be happier if the designer of this piece of jewelry can come and explain the meaning of the jewelry to her in person. But I also won’t force you as I understand your concerns.’ Upon seeing that, Leanna replied, ‘I won’t be going to the birthday party. Do with Mrs. Pearson happy birthday.’ The next day, Leanna headed to the Lux Magazine to find Harvey to report to work. As soon as she arrived at the magazine, she was pulled aside by Zoe. “Nana, can you spare me some time tonight?” “Yeah. What’s wrong?” “Well, it’s Anthony. It’s been a while since he returned to Highside, so he wants to throw a party and invite some friends to a get-together.

He had always wanted to organize one, but he couldn’t because he was busy with work. Since it’s rare for him to have some free time, he wants to throw one now that he’s free. So I was thinking that we can go together if you’re free tonight.” As Zoe spoke, she muttered again, “I don’t know most of the friends he invited this time. I’ll feel better if you go.” Looking at Zoe’s upset state, Leanna found it hard to reject her. Since she also wanted to take tonight’s opportunity to talk things out with her, she eventually decided to attend the party. Therefore, Leanna nodded lightly after a while.

“Sure! I’ll go with you.” At once, the smile on Zoe’s face returned. Giving Leanna a big hug, she said, “That’s great! Okay, hurry up and go to Mr. Mancini. I have a photo shooting task today, so I’ll get going first.” When Leanna arrived at Harvey’s office, she saw a woman sitting in the office with Harvey. Upon seeing Leanna enter, Harvey said to her, “McK, you came just in time. Here, let me introduce you to

Lux Magazine’s newly signed designer, Queenie Wojzicki.” Without waiting for Harvey to continue with the introduction, Queenie stood up. Smiling, she reached out her hand to Leanna. “Pleased to meet you, McK. I’ve heard so much about you.” Leanna knew who this woman in front of her was, considering Queenie was the runner-up in The Emerging Designer Competition three years ago and also the person who later took her place to study in Aeras. Politely reaching out her hand, Leanna said, “Pleased to meet you too.

” After they greeted each other, Harvey said, “McK, you’ll continue to be in charge of the ‘First Love’ jewelry series, as well as the privately customized jewelry. Queenie, you will be in charge of the new series—” “Mr. Mancini.” Halfway through speaking, Queenie interrupted Harvey. “I have a proposal.” Feeling surprised, Harvey paused for a moment before he continued, “Tell me.” “I, too, wish to get involved with business regarding privately customized jewelry.”As Queenie spoke, she smiled at Leanna. “Don’t get me wrong, McK. I’m not intending to rob you of your business. It’s just that the personal jewelry customization requests that I had accepted while I was abroad were all private high- end orders. I should know the styles that rich women and ladies like better.” “Uh—” Then, Queenie added again, “By then, we can each produce a design drawing, and whose design that gets selected will take the order.” Being a good sport, Leanna simply put on a faint smile on her face.

“Sure.” Seeing that Leanna had already agreed, Harvey didn’t say anything more. “In that case, we’ll do things that way. I’ll contact you two if there’s anything related to work.” Little did Queenie know, Harvey didn’t tell her that all the clients who signed up for the privately customized jewelry orders with Lux Magazine now were because of Leanna. After leaving the office, Queenie called out Leanna’s name and stopped her when she was about to leave. “We’ll be colleagues as well as competitors in the future. I won’t be merciful toward you.” Halting her tracks, Leanna turned around and looked at the other woman. “I won’t either.” “In that case, we’ll compete based on our own abilities then.” After

leaving Lux Magazine, Leanna went to the studio where Zoe was shooting and waited for her. During the photo shooting interval, Zoe came over to gossip with Leanna.

“Hey, I just heard that Lux Magazine seems to have signed a new designer. It’s said that she came back from Aeras and had participated in several fashion shows. She’s quite well-known in the industry, but she’s very arrogant. It’s best not to provoke someone like her and avoid confrontation with her when you see her in the future, because someone like her will only annoy the sh*t out of you.” To Zoe’s surprise, Leanna replied to her by saying, “We already met.” “Huh?! When?” “We met in Mr. Mancini’s office.” Upon hearing that, Zoe had a complicated expression on her face. Just as she was about to ask what happened in Harvey’s office, the staff in the studio asked her to go over and continue with the photoshoot, as the celebrity had finished changing their outfit and came out.

And thus, Zoe whispered to Leanna, “The photoshoot will end in a while. Wait for me.” Leanna nodded in response. “Sure, go and do your work first.” Not long after, Leanna received a message on her phone. It was a message from Jonathan. ‘Miss McKinney, President Pearson asked if you have finished with work?’ Reading the message, Leanna became speechless as she grumbled to herself, Did this b*stard install surveillance on me?! He can’t seem to enjoy seeing me resting. All he knows is hounding me every day! Burning with rage from her thoughts, Leanna typed out all the words hard and replied. ‘No! Tell him I’m busy and not free for his bullsh*t at the moment!’ Shortly after, Jonathan texted back, ‘President Pearson asked how busy you are.’ Gritting her teeth, Leanna replied, ‘I’m so busy that I didn’t eat for two days. In fact, I’m so busy that I didn’t even wash my hair for a week!

‘ A while later, she received another reply from Jonathan. ‘President Pearson said you work rather hard, so… good luck!’ When Leanna saw the reply sent by Jonathan, she put down her phone hard. Then, she took a deep breath to calm herself down. Will I be in a 10 million debt if it wasn’t him who framed me?! Yet he still dares to wish me luck?! To hell with his good luck! … After Zoe finished her work in the studio, both she and Leanna headed their way toward the venue of Anthony’s get-together party. That night, Anthony had reserved a private room inside a high-end restaurant, where only the rich would come and enjoy their meal. By the time Zoe and Leanna arrived at the restaurant, most of the people were already present. Meanwhile, Anthony was wandering inside the private room. When he saw their figures, he immediately came over to greet them. “Zoe, you ladies are finally here.

” As he spoke, he looked at Leanna. Then, he apologized to her by saying, “I’m sorry about the incident that took place last time. I’ve always wanted to treat you to a dinner, but I was too preoccupied with work—” Halfway through the conversation, a woman came over and said to Leanna, “So this is your girlfriend, Anthony? She looks so pretty.” Anthony’s expression became a little embarrassed. “No. This is my girlfriend,” said Anthony while pointing at Zoe, who was next to him. “Well, I’ve always heard you say that your girlfriend is very pretty, so I thought this one’s your girlfriend.” As the woman spoke, she stuck her tongue out, acting cute.

Then, she said to Leanna again, “I’m so sorry.” In the meantime, the expression on Leanna’s face remained unchanged. Upon hearing the woman’s apology, she said calmly, “It’s okay, Miss Boulogne.” With that, Jeanette smiled and said, “Let’s not be strangers. I’m Anthony’s colleague, so you can just call me by my name—”
