Chapter 141 Chapter 141: He Admitted It
Tim couldn’t help chuckling when hearing her question and said, “Well, you can exchange back into them if you like. As long as you can do your job well, you can do whatever you want.”
When Estelle came out of the VIP room, she heard Tim muttering behind her, “I’ve never seen such an ugly woman.”
Bob, who was standing outside, also heard this.
He comforted Estelle, “Miss Hudson, Mr. Roberts is always like this. Don’t take what he said to heart.”
Estelle said with a smile, “It’s okay. Normally, a talented designer like him has a strange character.”
“Yes, yes,” Bob nodded quickly.
“Bob, just now, Mr. Roberts said that we will meet a client this afternoon. Could you tell me something about this client? I want to know more about the client so that I can design the jewelry that meets his requirements.”
Bob nodded and said, “The client is a world-famous costume designer, Katrina. She ordered ten sets of customized jewelry. She will hold a new product launch event soon and hopes that the jewelry can be well-matched with the clothes designed by her.”
“Ten sets of jewelry? Oh, my God. Our clients are all far richer than I thought,” Estelle said in surprise.
Bob laughed and said, “Haha. You never know how many rich people there are in the world. Compared to Mrs. Roberts, who ordered five hundred jewelry sets, Katrina is just a small client. I remember that you are short of money, right? Come on, Estelle. The more deals you close, the more commission you will get.”
Estelle nodded.
She did lack money. In addition to supporting her family, she also wanted to return the money she owed Mr. Mysterious.
Mr. Mysterious paid the medical fees for her mother, bought her expensive diamond rings, rented the apartment for her, and bought all the children needed, such as toys and milk powder.
She knew that Mysterious didn’t need her to return the money, but she still thought she should do that. After all, she couldn’t take what he had done for her for granted.
“Okay, Bob. I’ll try my best,” she said with a smile.
Bob smiled with satisfaction and encouraged her, “Come on! I believe you!”
At lunch break, Estelle called Rebecca.
“You want to buy clothes? No problem. I’ll go with you. I like going shopping best. You haven’t bought new clothes for a long time and do need to buy some. Please wait for me at your company. I’ll pick you up now!” Rebecca said happily.
After about a quarter, she arrived at Only Love Jewelry and waited for Estelle downstairs.
When Estelle came out of the office building, Rebecca didn’t recognize her at first glance.
The next moment, Estelle came over and knocked on the window of her car.
It was not until then that Rebecca recognized her. “You are... Estelle?”
Seeing her reaction, Estelle chuckled and asked, “You can’t even recognize me?”
Rebecca then immediately opened the car door for her.
After Estelle gracefully sat in the passenger’s seat and fastened the seat belt, Rebecca said helplessly, “Estelle, even if Tim doesn’t like beautiful women, you don’t have to dress up like this. Now you look like the...” Rebecca wanted to say something but bit her tongue.
“What do I look like?” Estelle asked, not taking what Rebecca had said to her heart.
Rebecca leaned over and said, “Don’t be angry with me if I say that.”
“I won’t be angry with you. Feel free to say whatever you want.”
Rebecca took a deep breath and said, “You look like the domestic helper of our family.”
“Really?” Estelle looked at herself in the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but frown.
In the morning, she especially changed into the old clothes she had bought in college before she went out.
And at this moment, she was wearing a white T-shirt with yellowed sleeves, a pair of old jeans, a pair of canvas shoes whose heels were worn down, and her black-framed glasses. And her hair was casually tied up.
‘I indeed look like a domestic helper now.’ she thought speechlessly.
“Mr. Roberts doesn’t like beautiful women, so I dressed up like this to make myself look ugly,” Estelle said with a helpless smile. “Honestly, I’ve never seen a boss with such a strange taste like him.”
“Me, either. Tim is a freak with a bad temper and a sharp tongue. No one can discipline him in his family except for Justin,” Rebecca said.
Speaking of Justin, Estelle said softly, “Rebecca, I saw Justin today.”
“You saw him in your company? Generally speaking, he should be busy at work during the day. Did he go there to see you? Today is the first day you got back to work after you were discharged from the hospital, and he might be worried about you very much. He made an excuse for going there, but he actually went there to see you. He still didn’t admit that he is Mr. Mysterious, right?” Rebecca said.
“He admitted.”
“What? He admitted it?” Rebecca asked in surprise before Estelle could finish her words.
“He admitted that he is not Mr. Mysterious,” Estelle sighed and pouted.
Rebecca was stunned. “He’s not Mr. Mysterious? How could it be?”
Compared to her, Estelle was rather calm. She softly said, “I have long sensed something wrong with him before. Sometimes, what he said to me was different from what Mr. Mysterious had said. Although he would explain to me when I doubted him, and Mr. Mysterious was also trying to make me think he was Justin, I could still feel that they differed in many aspects. Besides, Mr. Mysterious likes to wear cologne, but Justin doesn’t.”
Hearing this, Rebecca scratched her head in confusion and said, “But since Mr. Mysterious is not Justin, then who could he be?”
Estelle shook her head, leaned against the backrest of the seat, and said helplessly, “I don’t know.”
“Don’t be upset. I will ask my father about it when I go back home. He is quite familiar with the other businessmen of Hadale. There are not many people as rich and powerful as Mr. Mysterious in Hadale. It should be easy to find out his identity.”
“Thanks, Rebecca. But I’ve decided not to probe into his identity anymore. Justin said that Mr. Mysterious couldn’t let me know who he was because he had his own difficulties. Since Mr. Mysterious doesn’t want me to know his identity now, I should understand him and respect his decision,” Estelle said.
“But do you want to spend the rest of your life with an unidentified man?” Rebecca asked.
Estelle smiled and said calmly, “I’ve thought about it. It’s not bad for us to be together like this. It will be better if he can be with me for the rest of my life. If he can’t, I will just take him as a passerby in my life and won’t be too sad or despairing when he leaves me. I’ve experienced the despair of being abandoned once because of Cristofer and don’t want to experience it a second time. It’s good to keep some privacy and secrets in our relationship so that I won’t be blinded by love and be hurt again.”
