She sucked in a breath of cold air and quickly stood up straight. “No, I'll
go right away!” Just after taking two steps, she was met with Sam's
astonished gaze again. Gale was also stunned. Why was Sam here! It
turned out that the client Shawn wanted to see was him! “This is the
mouse I'm talking about,” Shawn said lightly. Mr. Carson laughed. Gale
smiled politely, “Sorry for disturbing you, I will be on my way.” She
walked past Sam without another glance as if they had never known
each other. Sam looked unsure and was hesitant to speak. Shawn
suddenly stopped her, “Wait.” She turned around and said, “Yes, Mr.
Wood?" Shawn asked, “Gale, if I remember correctly, your major in
college was jewelry design.” Jewelry design... At that time, Gale was
the jewel of the Warm family. She was carefree. She would only need
to have pursued love and dreams, so she simply chose a major that
she liked. The design she drew in school had won awards frequently
and was well received by the industry. Now what? She was just a speck
of dust, and trying to live. “Yes.” Gale nodded after a while. “However, I
didn't graduate.” There was still a year left in her course, but Shawn
appeared, took her away, and placed her in a mental hospital. Since
then, life has changed dramatically. As soon as she finished speaking,
the office door was pushed open from the outside. A man with an
extremely romantic temperament, peach blossom eyes, and a smirk on
the corner of his mouth walked in. He was Joe Winter, the vice
president of the Wood Group and Shawn's most trusted friend, who
had a super strong work ethic. Joe raised his eyebrows, “Bro, you
transferred me back from the European branch to set up a jewelry
brand for me to take over?” “Well. The film and television department is
also under your control.” Joe almost jumped up in shock. “You want to
enter the entertainment industry?” Shawn replied calmly, “Can't you
handle it? Or are you not capable enough to manage the two
departments well?” “You're trying to exhaust me. The donkeys in the
production team don't work that hard! “Wage increase.” “I'm not short of
that money. I can understand jewelry brands. However, the
entertainment industry is a different story, so complex and messy...
why do you want to touch it?” Shawn took a deep sip of coffee and
answered, “For a woman.” “Yo! It's for your newly married little wife!”
Gale was speechless. Joe continued to gossip, “Bro, can you handle it?
You're such a player!” Shawn kicked him unceremoniously. “Where's
the stuff?” “Here.” Joe took out a stack of design manuscripts, and
Shawn directly handed it to Gale. “This is the drawing of Fantastic
Jewels. Take a look and spot the faults.” “This...” Shawn raised her
chin slightly and said, “Speak truthfully, I want to hear the truth.” Sam
also looked at her. “Okay.” Gale pointed to the draft and started, “The
overall design level of Fantastic Jewels has declined in the past three
years. The reason why it is still loved by consumers is because of its
brand.” “First of all, the brand does not have a clear standing. Does
Fantastic Jewels want to do well in the high-end market, or is it aimed
at ordinary consumer groups?” “Secondly, the styles are outdated and
boring, so we should recruit more fresh and younger design talents.”
Gale was talking incessantly, her brows were beaming, and she was
full of confidence. Shawn crossed his arms and looked at her. At this
moment, she looked extraordinarily attractive. She was no longer very
humble, and her eyes were full of light. “That's all I can think of right
now,” Gale said. Shawn nodded with satisfaction. “Yes, it pointed out
the current situation of Fantastic Jewels. This is the same as what he
thought before. Gale seemed to... surprise him again. Sam's face was
a little ugly, but he still said, “Well, criticism pushes for progress.
President Wood, the matter of cooperation...” “I'll think about it again.”
“Alright.” Before Sam left, he took a long look at Gale. There were too
many emotions. However, Gale lowered her head to avoid his sight.
However, Joe looked at her with interest. “Where did President Wood
find an extraordinary talent like you?" Shawn answered, “She is my
newlywed mistress.” “It turned out to be Mrs. Wood! Hello, I'm Joe.” Joe
smiled like a spring breeze. “Sure enough, only a good woman like you
can reel him in!” “Hello, Mr. Joe.” “Just in time, Shawn's jewelry brand is
about to be established, and I am the one managing it. I am short of
designers. Do you want to give it a try?” Her eyes lit up as she asked,
“Is it okay?” Joe said, “Of course, you are absolutely competent!”
Although he seemed to be a fool, he had never been sloppy in his work
and had already thought of a plan ahead of time. Joe was confident
that it was only a matter of time before he could build the brand and
surpass Fantastic Jewels! Gale looked at Shawn, and he agreed in a
heartbeat. “I will lend her to you. Promise me you will return her to me.”
Shawn glanced at Joe. Joe laughed and replied, “There's no need to be
so tiresome! She's still in the Wood family, but it's just on a different
floor. You can take the elevator if you want to see her!” Shawn kicked
him again, and he jumped up to dodge. “Let's go, Mrs. Wood. I'm
already looking forward to your design draft!” “Mr. Winter, just call me
Gale.” “Okay, Okay!” Joe patted her on the shoulder and said, “From
now on, you will be my capable soldier!” Shawn narrowed his eyes
slightly and said, “Hand.” Joe immediately took it away. Since Gale is
an excellent jewelry designer, Shawn will allow her to work for him.
There is more to it than just torture and humiliation. After all, there was
a practice called “asset-based thinking’. Anyway, no matter how high or
far she ran, she could never escape his clenches! After Joe left, Shawn
leaned on the sofa, took out a cigarette and played with it. “Tell me,
what's your relationship with Sam?” he asked directly. Gale was taken
aback. Did he manage to see through them? It was obvious that she
had no interaction with Sam! “I don't like listening to lies.” Shawn
emphasized, “Answer!” Under his domineering aura, Gale explained,
“He is my former fiance.” His eyes narrowed, and he asked, “Fiance?”
“But we broke up our engagement two years ago. He went abroad to
study, and I... entered a mental hospital. We didn’t meet again until
today.” “If it wasn’t for me, would you have been married long ago?”
Gale smiled bitterly and answered, “It should be. Unfortunately, there
are so many paths in life.” Shawn suddenly approached her and
shouted vaguely, “Gale.” She tensed up. “You must hate me very much.
Hate me for ruining your life, and want to kill me with your own hands.
Even if I die, you want to dig out the body and whip it hard...right?”
Shawn yelled She lowered her gaze and answered, “Shawn, we are all
pitiful.” His smile grew wider as he said, “Me, pitiful?” “You have lost
your most beloved father, and I have lost a happy family. In fact, we are
all pawns tricked by fate.” “This is what you deserve! It's your father
who ruined everything!” Gale could not refute it because there was no
evidence. Shawn moved away. He lit a cigarette and said coldly, “Go
away.” Gale turned around and left. Amidst the cigarette smoke,
Shawn's expression was unreadable. He glanced at the stack of
paintings and shouted loudly, “Fiona!” “Yes, Mr. Wood.” “Do a
background check on Sam and give me the results by tonight.” “Yes!”
Gale was waiting for the elevator when her phone rang. “Hello, who is
it?” “Are you Gale?” “Yes.” The other party said, “I'm a prison staff. Your
father had an accident. Come over immediately.” Gale's brain went into
a frenzy! She stumbled to the stairs immediately. There was no time to
wait for the elevator! Mom has already fallen into Shawn's hands... Dad
must be safe! He simply must!
