Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 299

Chapter 299

I thought President Smith had agreed to let our company take over this project. If that was the case,

why did he let Jolene enter the bidding? Did he know Eric was going to let someone else bid on this

project at the same time? Wait, wouldn’t Eric buy our company? Have the talks gone south? What was

Eric thinking? Why did he let Jolene in on the bidding when he knew I had beef?

with her?

Anger rose within me and I wanted to see Eric, but first I needed to call President Smith for

confirmation.

The call went through quickly. “Anything. Lilian?”

“Mr. Smith, do you know about Eric letting other companies bid on the project?” I got straight to the

point.

“He just called me about it.” President Smith sighed.

“But you said he promised to give this project to our company.”

“Yes, but it was only a verbal agreement, not a written one. For some reason, he withdrew his word

today.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“He can’t just break his promise like that.”

“The business world is always changing. That’s why you sign contracts.” President Smith sighed.

“Did he tell you why?”

“Some of them.” He paused. “But there’s no use talking about it now. Just do

your

best.”

“Just tell me why.” I was worried.

“All he said is that he is interested in another designer’s design.”

Wait, is he saying that Jolene is better than me? Ooh, now he’s done it.

President Smith reassured me: “Lilian, I know you are a talented designer, so calm down. If you want to

convince him, do it through your work.”

I continued to pant after hanging up. This was the first time anyone had looked at me that way. Eric, I

would love to see what Jolene has designed for you. Do you think she’s better than me? Not likely.

Huffing and puffing, I’ve waited patiently inside my office since Eric summoned me today. After waiting

a while, I heard the clatter of high heels outside, followed by Jolene’s sweet voice. “Thank you,

Ms. Armstrong. Goodbye.”

A little while later, the click of high heels sounded again as Jenny opened the door. “You can see

President Walker now, Lily.” Nodding, I got up and went to his office.

Eric was looking at the screen when I walked in and only looked up when I greeted him.

“Have a seat.7

“Thank you, Mr. Walker.” I sat up, all polite and proper, but at the same time I inwardly cursed him.

“I called you here for design matters.” He looked into my eyes, and I looked back at him, not the least

bit nervous. “There is no innovation. I thought I made it clear at the time, but is that what you did? A

little tweak? Honestly, I’m disappointed.”

I had already thought of all the things he would say while I was waiting, so when he told me that, I

wasn’t angry. “I will fix this.”

“That’s not the problem. The problem is in the idea. Something is missing from your project.”

“What is it?”

“How should I put this? Her design looks like a gorgeous woman who is wearing a dress that doesn’t

suit her. It seems… weird.”

You are weird. “idiot. It’s not so easy to piss me off, I cursed silently, but I was calm on the outside. “Go

on, Mr. Walker, I’m listening”

Realizing my subservience. Eric couldn’t hold back any longer. “I saw all your previous

projects. They’re all great, so why is this one so bad? You are angry? Or angry, perhaps? Your

husband has turned his back on you so I can understand if you are affected”
