Chapter 99 Don't care
"Victoria," he suddenly grabbed her arm, "I was wrong. I can treat the child as my own. We can put the past behind us and start over. Can we?"
Treat the child as his own? This man is really stubborn. Once he has made up his mind, he won't change it. But Victoria also knows that this is his nature and there's nothing she can do about it. She shook her head and pushed him away. "Do you think it's possible? Diana is carrying your child in her belly. Everyone probably knows what happened between you two in the old house for hours. And...forgive me, I can't just pretend that nothing happened, especially after what you and I have already...already..."
Victoria looked at him. "Can you imagine, the things you did with me, Diana is also doing with you. It makes me sick."
Brandon's face turned pale instantly. "If you care about the child in her belly, I can have it aborted right away."
Victoria looked up in surprise. "Can you just easily erase a life like that?"
She thought of his determination to get rid of her child, and now he's using the same method on Diana. Who knows if he will use it on her again in the future. She looked at him with disappointment and ran away.
Brandon could feel her sudden change of emotions, but he didn't understand why she was so upset.
Watching Brandon come back empty-handed, Grayson seemed to have expected it and said, "Did you get scolded again?"
"She said she cared that I touched Diana. I can understand that and I apologized. I've never apologized to anyone before,but I can apologize to her. She said she cared about the child in Diana's belly, and I said I could have it aborted. But she got even angrier. I don't understand why."
Grayson shook his head. "You really don't understand women's hearts. Women's hearts are like needles in the sea. I only know half of it, let alone you. You're so ruthless, of course she cares. She must be thinking that if one day you don't like her anymore, you'll be just as ruthless to her."
"She's definitely different," Grayson smiled. "What makes her different?" Brandon suddenly choked. Yes, what makes her different? When did she become different in his mind? Victoria arrived at the company quickly, and because her complexion was poor, Yesenia thought she was sick. "What's wrong? If you're not feeling well, go home." "I'm fine." Victoria sat there expressionless,opened her computer, and Quiana walked in. "Victoria, where are the drawings you need to submit? There's been no progress. Do I have to personally ask you for them?" "Here, they're already done." Victoria handed over the drawings. Quiana was surprised that she had finished them so quickly. Originally, the company had requested a week, but Victoria managed to finish them in three days? Quiana was at a loss for words. She had come to cause trouble, but now she didn't know how to continue. "Let me take a look. Did you just draw something hastily and call it a day? The company won't accept garbage. And what's wrong with your complexion?" She looked down and couldn't see any problems with the drawings. Her expression changed, and she continued, "We're all going to lunch together at noon. It's my treat, and everyone's invited."
The people in the office all looked up when they heard, "Miss Qin is so kind."
"We'll definitely go." With free food, everyone was sure to go.
Quiana was polite to others, "Everyone, please come early."
But when she looked at Victoria, her expression wasn't as good.
Naturally, she was intentionally trying to build good relationships with her colleagues so that they could all gang up on Victoria. After all, looking at Victoria's ungracious behavior, her relationships with her colleagues weren't too good. Everyone disliked this kind of arrogant woman who liked to stand out.
Victoria didn't want to go eat at first, but her colleagues looked at her with some strange looks, "Engineer Griffin, you should be more sociable. Everyone is going, are you the only one not going?"
Victoria had no choice but to nod and follow along.
After all, she had just independently faced the project from the universe. Although her position was still a staff member, it was considered a promotion in disguise. She couldn't appear too arrogant at this time.
When they arrived, Victoria was the last one to arrive.
Quiana immediately smiled and said, "Victoria is late, she should be punished."
"I can't drink," Victoria said.
"I didn't ask you to drink," Quiana said. "How about... standing punishment? You have to stand and eat."
"Yesenia frowned, "You're going too far. It's just being late, not like when we were in school. Do we have to be punished for being late?"
But Quiana said, "Oh, we're just joking. Can't you take a joke? What's wrong with standing punishment? Do you think it's not good to eat while standing? You can't drink, and we won't let you drink. You can't be punished by standing either. Come sit here, you can be the host. I can't afford to invite you The colleagues who were sitting with her had just heard Quiana bragging about how amazing her family was, and seeing Victoria standing there, they thought she was being arrogant.
"Engineer Griffin, even though you are the pillar of our company now, you still need to give us some face," one of them said. "Are you afraid that standing for too long will affect your performance and you won't be able to draw tomorrow? After all, Engineer Griffin is now the most talented designer in our company," another added.
Quiana snorted, "There are plenty of designers like you in the world. I don't know where your arrogance comes from."
"Hey, Miss Qin, our small company is different. There must be everything in the world, but if the world wants us, why would we come here?" another colleague chimed in.
Their intention was to mock Victoria, saying that if she was really that talented, why didn't she go to the world?
As expected, they still didn't like her very much, Quiana knew.
Victoria looked at Quiana and said, "You may be in the world, but why don't you design and make us do it instead?"
Quiana looked at her angrily, "What do you mean? I admit that my ability is not good, but neither are you. Why are you so arrogant?"
"Hey, Miss Qin, you're wrong. Your ability is good. You can enter the world, which is better than most of us," another colleague said. "Yes, the ability to be born into a good family is also a skill. You must have spent a lot of money to get in," Victoria sneered. Quiana stood up and said, "Yes, being born into a good family is also a skill. The fact that I can invite you to dinner today shows my ability. If you're jealous, just say it."
The people around them also looked down on Victoria.
Their eyes seemed to say that she was obviously jealous.
Victoria smiled. Why did these people have to come and bother her at this moment?
Just then, someone walked in from outside.
"Miss Griffin, welcome! We have prepared a deluxe room for you in our hotel and are ready to serve you at any time."
