Chapter 71 Go out for a meal
Can Victoria really handle this herself?
Brandon was a bit surprised, looking at the news online, he secretly gritted his teeth, good, well done.
She's quite capable, knowing to go to Louis' wife for help.
Everyone knows that Louis is afraid of his wife, if it hadn't been for the situation getting out of hand, he probably wouldn't have bothered to help.
And Victoria even successfully convinced his wife to help.
She's got some skills.
After finishing everything, Victoria arrived at the company. She knew that under pressure, Huan Yu had resumed their bidding. Holly and President Gray could no longer use this matter to threaten her.
President Gray saw her return and couldn't help but look embarrassed. "I saw the news online... well, Engineer Griffin did a good job. When I said those things to you before, it was to stimulate your ability to handle things. Look, you've done well now."
Holly snorted and walked out directly.
Victoria bit her lip and looked at President Gray. "It's okay. I hope everyone learns a lesson from this and doesn't just look at the surface of things."
President Gray didn't know what to say, after all, they were guilty.
Yesenia was a bit surprised. "Victoria, you went to find President Jenkins yourself, that's amazing... but our company didn't do anything except acknowledge it. It's really outrageous that they're still using your design."
"Let it go." Victoria sat down silently.
"If it were me, I would say I won't let them use my design, hmph."
"The contract says that I'm an employee and they can use my designs without any problems. It's okay. I'll quit after this month. If it weren't for not getting paid for this long, I wouldn't have bothered. I really want to quit now," Victoria said angrily.
"Yesenia sighed and looked at her. "Okay, but with your abilities, you can shine anywhere. There's no need to stay in this small company." Victoria was also angry. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have any money now...
She could have earned tens of thousands of dollars in a month.
Meanwhile, Erica was surprised to see how things had turned out. Louis was fired? And he helped Victoria?
Louis wasn't that kind-hearted. Erica's heart moved slightly. Could it be the black-clothed man who helped her that day had helped her again?
How could she be so lucky?
Erica clenched her fists in anger.
"Victoria, you can't always be this lucky," she thought.
On her way home, Victoria received a call from Heidi.
"Victoria, I just heard about what happened. Why didn't you tell me? It's such a big deal," Heidi complained.
"It's not a big deal, and it's already been resolved," Victoria explained briefly.
Heidi was delighted and said, "Victoria is really amazing. It's all my fault for being too busy helping Felix review for the postgraduate entrance examination. I didn't notice these things. I'm guilty. I must treat you to a meal this time. Will you come?"
Victoria sighed, "Forget it, you're just a love-struck fool."
"Yes, I'm guilty and I must treat you. You must come."
"..."
Victoria had just arrived home to change her clothes when she saw Brandon walking out from behind.
"Hey, you're back."
"Yeah."
"Let's go out for a meal." Brandon leaned against the door, as if he wasn't looking at her.
Victoria was stunned. Was he actually asking her out for a meal?
But…
She said with a troubled expression, "I'm sorry, I've already made plans to eat with Heidi. Do you have no one to eat with?"
Victoria asked, tilting her head in confusion.
Otherwise, why would Brandon ask her out for a meal?
Brandon's eyes darkened.
"Of course not. I just wanted to see you and asked casually. Since you have plans, I'll go by myself."
After speaking, he walked away without looking back.
Victoria stood there, watching him leave.
She thought to herself, "That's right. He has so many people around him. If he wants to eat, there are plenty of people who would accompany him."
She changed her clothes and left.
Upon hearing the sound of someone leaving, Duncan's face grew even darker. Elijah walked over and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to take Miss out for dinner? I thought you wanted to surprise her after everything that's happened." Brandon pursed his lips and replied, "Can't I change my mind about having dinner with her?"
Elijah was confused and asked the butler, "Didn't Miss say she was going out to eat with a friend?"
Realizing what had happened, Elijah understood why his employer's face was so grim. It seemed that Miss had rejected his invitation.
Later, Elijah returned to the study and suggested, "I heard that Miss went to Hayes Family's private kitchen. The food there is quite good. Would you like me to make a reservation for you?"
Brandon coldly replied, "Get out."
After Victoria left the house,she met up with Heidi and her boyfriend, Felix. The couple were dressed in matching outfits and were being affectionate with each other. Victoria regretted agreeing to meet up with them.
"Are you here to make me a third wheel?" Victoria complained.
Heidi giggled and replied, "Of course not. Felix just happened to be free, so I brought him along."
The fair and delicate man smiled and raised his hand to her. "Hello, I've heard Heidi mention you every day. It's good to finally meet you. Today, I must treat you to this meal."
Heidi quickly said, "No, that won't do. I said I would treat you."
"That won't do. It's my first time meeting your friend, so I must treat her," Felix insisted.
Heidi looked at Victoria and could only remain silent.
Felix said, "By the way, Heidi said you also know how to paint." "I studied architecture design, and art was one of my basic courses. My artistic skills may not be as good," Victoria replied.
"I see. It's similar to what I want to do. I'm planning to take the graduate exam for architecture design. It's a more lucrative field, and I want to provide a good life for Heidi in the future." The two smiled at each other, looking very sweet.
Victoria thought to herself that maybe she had misunderstood Felix before. He seemed to be treating Heidi well in front of her.
They continued eating for a while until they heard the door being pushed open, and someone exclaimed, "Look, there's a handsome guy!"
Victoria and Heidi both looked up and saw Brandon walking in with Grayson.
Why were they here?
Heidi immediately looked at Victoria, but Victoria had no idea what was going on.
Grayson looked over and said, "Miss Griffin, you're also eating here. What a coincidence."
Victoria glanced at Brandon, who had only glanced at her once before looking away. "Yeah, I'm meeting some friends here for dinner. This is my best friend, Heidi, and her boyfriend, Felix."
Grayson glanced at the two of them. "Brandon... isn't she the designer you know? Why don't you join us for dinner?"
