pter 22 Reeses expression turned cold as she simcated the recording and screen recording functions on her phone When Reese walked into Clarks office , he didnt mince words and got right to the point about what he wanted from her , something that Reese had already predicted , after being in the same scenario for two years , Reese , 1 heard you drafted a brand new design that is even better than the one you gave Alexa yesterday ! Reese nodded . Yes , I thought of another great design , so I sketched it down casually , She said nonchalantly . Then give this new design to Aleza , You dont need this one anyway ! Clark didnt even bother to hide his vile intentions and spoke to Reese in a commanding manner , Reese suppressed her anger and discomfort inside her . How come she never realized that Clark was such a despicable person right from the start ? Instead of agreeing to his wishes as usual , she flatly refused . This design is for me ! Besides , 1 already gave her a design yesterday , havent 12 That one wasnt as good as this one today . Do you think I dont know ? Besides , what do you need it for ? Is this design as important to you as it is to Alexa ? If she impresses the judges at the Century Jewelry Competition tomorrow , she might have a chance to participate in the World Jewelry Competition . As for you , have you produced any work in the past two years ? Who even knows who you are in this industry ? Clarks face darkened as he continues to speak . Reeses face also turned unpleasant . I havent produced any work because all my design drafts from the past two years were taken by you for Alexa ! Clark , how can you say such things ? Anyway , I had already set my foot down . I wont give her this design ! Clark immediately figured that maybe going for a hard approach wont do any good ; so , he tried again , but he softened his tone this time . Reese , I know youve always been the most softhearted . Alexa is the gold signboard of our Trifleming Jewelry now . Even if you dont consider her , you should consider me . Were getting married in the future , and Trifleming Jewelry will belong to both of us ! He added with a softer tone , Besides , youve given all your design drafts to her in the past two years . Its useless to say these things now . Alexa will participate in the Century Jewelry Competition hosted by Strakovski Jewelry tomorrow , and its really important to her . Weve reached this point ; its better to give her a push . If she steps onto the world stage and benefits from it , it will still be good for our Trifleming Jewelry ! But Reese was unusually stubborn this time . I still havent changed my mind . I wont give her this 4.1 % Chapter 22 design ! I want to keep this for myself ! She declared . Clarks face grew more and more unpleasant , and in the end , he surrendered . Fine , fine , fine ! If you dont want to give it , then forget it ! He waved impatiently . With an unsightly expression , Reese huffed as she turned around to leave the office . As she left the office , she saved the recording and screen recording , sneering slightly . Before leaving work , Reese put todays original design draft in her bag and stored a backup in a place where the design drafts are usually kept . Then , she took out a miniature pinhole camera from her pocket and discreetly placed it on the flower vase on the table . Not long after she finished all this , Alexa came over and approached her . Reese , did you have an argument with Clark ? She whispered . Reeses eyes flickered . Why do you ask ? Alexa looked helpless . I knew it ! You had an argument with him ! He said that he wants to take you out for a meal , but he asked me to act as the messenger for the both of you ! She said . Of course , he would approach you ! Reese sarcastically thought . Is that so ? She replied calmly . Alexa nodded . Yes ! He also said that the three of us should have a meal together . I could really tell from his tone that you have really quarreled ! After being repeatedly bombarded by Alexa , Reese feigned defeat and satisfied the desires of these two despicable people to have a meal with her . And with that , they went to a well known Western restaurant in Switzerland with them . They sat by the window , with Alexa and Clark sitting opposite each other , while Reese sat next to Clark . After ordering their food , Clark and Alexa chatted as usual , and Reese sat quietly and listened , as usual . Not far away from the scene , Lukas entered the restaurant with his assistant . At a glance , the assistant saw the people sitting by the window , but he wasnt sure what he saw . He did a double take , and his expression suddenly became a bit awkward . Strakovski , isnt that Miss Roberts? He asked , leading his hand towards his eye view . Lukas glanced over where his assistant is pointing and focused his gaze under the table , where Clark and Alexas legs were entangled . A mocking smile crept up Lukass lips as he took big , confident strides toward their table . 4.2 % Chapter 23 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
