Chapter 44
Chapter 44 Yvie was slightly worried when she saw Jocelyn freezing in place. “Jocelyn, are you alright?!”
Just then, the man looked over after hearing Yvie’s voice.
When his gaze met Jocelyn’s eyes and landed on her familiar face, he was stunned as well.
Jocelyn shot up from her seat at once. Her chest heaved heavily as she called out in a tentative voice, “Director Lang?” Davis smiled in exasperation. A bitter smile formed on his lips. “Jocelyn!” He had previously gone on a business trip, so he did not know about Jocelyn coming over to Prosperity Jewelry at all. He was filled with complicated emotions when he saw her in the design department of Prosperity Jewelry.
After hiding for three years, he finally got spotted by someone he knew.
There were plenty of questions in Jocelyn’s heart as she looked at Davis, who was standing before her. However, she did not know what to say. Why did he change his last name to Lang? Why did he cut off contact with everyone for the past three years?
Did he know that Lexie had never stopped looking for him?
Davis looked at the change of expressions on Jocelyn’s face and immediately sensed her curiosity. He said, “Jocelyn White, come to my office!”
Everyone in the design department saw them calling each other’s names. They did not understand the odd atmosphere between them. What was going on?!
“Why are Director Lang and Jocelyn White acting so weirdly toward each other? Do they know each other?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“I don’t think so! Jocelyn White doesn’t know Director Lang’s name. She didn’t show any reaction when she heard his name yesterday!”
“True, it didn’t seem like she had heard the name of someone she knew given her expression back then. Perhaps Director Lang wants to test her out since she got recruited into the design department without being interviewed by him!”
Jocelyn walked into Davis’s office together with him. She looked at the man sitting behind the desk and called out courteously, “Senior!” Davis glanced at her and smiled. “Junior!”
He paused and added, “Sit anywhere. Ask me anything…you want to ask!”
After all, he would have to work with Jocelyn in the future. He would not be able to hide the truth from her.
Jocelyn nodded and looked at him. “Senior, aren’t you called Chance? Why is your name now Davis? It’s no wonder Lexie and I could never find you in the past three years!”
Davis was rather shocked. He laughed in amusement and said, “My family decided to change my name. However…why were you guys looking for me?”
Jocelyn cast a complicated stare at Davis. She recalled Lexie’s upset and devastated expression yesterday. She then said in exasperation, “Did you forget that you once saved Lexie’s life? Of course, she would panic when the person that she would like to express her gratitude to suddenly disappeared!”
Davis did not know that Lexie liked him. Jocelyn did not dare to tell him the truth either.
The moment Davis heard Lexie’s name; a subtle grin flashed across his eyes. “She looks like she has a cold personality. I thought that she wouldn’t mind such things. My apologies!” Jocelyn did not know what
to say. “You should tell her this. She was really worried about you the past three years. However, why did you suddenly lose contact with us after graduating from university back then?”
Davis was stunned. He remained momentarily silent and said, “Back then, something
opened at home. I went overseas. I only returned to the country two years ago!”
Jocelyn could tell that Davis did not want to mention his disappearance in the past three years. She pursed her lips and said, “Regardless of everything, it’s great that I finally get to see you, senior!”
Davis laughed and said, “Previously, I heard that a designer that President Moore recruited would be joining the design department. I was wondering who it was. Jocelyn, I have my bets on you. Your design talent is the best among everyone that I’ve ever met!”
Jocelyn laughed and teased him, “I don’t believe you! Josie is much more capable than I am!”
Davis was stunned. He shook his head slightly and spoke to her with a serious expression on his face. “Her achievements as a designer might be a lot higher than yours, but her talent cannot compare to yours!”
Jocelyn was slightly shocked. She laughed and shook her head immediately. “You can say such things in front of me, but please don’t say these words outside. Otherwise, Fiona will probably die of jealousy!”
Davis laughed and said, “I know. She has always idolized Josie. However, you’re not any worse off than her either. As long as you work hard, you’ll definitely go further than Josie!”
Jocelyn wanted to tease him. However, she could not bring herself to say anything when she noticed the serious expression on Davis’s face. Just then, someone knocked on the door. “Director Lang, Miss White, President Moore asked you and all the designers from the design department to go up for a meeting right now!”
Davis stood up and said, “Let’s go ahead and attend the meeting!”
Before Jocelyn could Lexie about the good news, she had to head to the conference room on the highest floor for a meeting with Davis.
The moment Skyler walked into the conference room; he had his mind on the meeting’s agenda. If he ensured that Jocelyn got to participate in the Century Jewelry Competition, would she think that he cared for her?
However, he saw Jocelyn and Davis together as soon as he entered the room.
Their heads were lowered as they chatted and laughed together. They seemed to be extremely close, Skyler did not know what they were chatting about, but Jocelyn laughed so brightly that there seemed to be stars in her eyes.
