No matter how many times Alice called Carson, he did not pick up. She was extremely worried! "Robbie!" Alice realized how she would not be able to go in anymore, so she looked at Robbie and said, "Tell me, Carson did not come to the office yesterday. Does it have anything to do with Violet?"Robbie was stunned on the inside, but he remained the helpless smile on the outside.Carson had no intention of announcing the matter with Everly, so Robbie did not dare to say anything.At that thought, Robbie intentionally pretended to be confused. He asked, "Violet? What does it have to do with her? Aren't you working on 'The Angel'?"Alice was slightly relaxed when she saw Robbie's reaction, but she still said, "Didn't you know that Violet didn't come to work yesterday? She's not here today too!""Sigh, Miss Davidson. I'm only a lowly secretary. It's not my duty to care if Violet comes to work or not." Robbie's acting was very convincing. "Also, you said that she's not here today, but Mi
Everly has locked herself in her room for three whole days.She had not talked to anyone. She merely curled up in a ball on the bed. She emptied her head of all thoughts as if that way she could temporarily forget everything.For the past three days, it was only Annie who sent in daily necessities in complete silence.It was until—Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Her phone vibrated manically. Everly ignored it, but it kept buzzing non-stop.In the end, she reached out, picked her phone up, and answered it."Violet speaking," Violet said in a rather hoarse voice because she had not talked for a long time."I know you're Violet." The woman on the other end of the call replied, "What? Are you not planning to come to work? You didn't even apply for a leave. Violet, are you just disrespecting the Baxter Group?"Everly did not answer immediately, and she merely pursed her lips."What? Why are you silent?" Tracey snickered. She thought back about what Alice instructed. She said, "Violet, don't f
At the Baxter Group.Alice looked at Tracey next to her."Miss Davidson, don't worry. I've done it according to your instructions. I threatened her by using Carson and Baxter Group. She had no choice but to turn up!" Tracey immediately reported."Hmm." Alice nodded in satisfaction before saying, "What about the others?""Don't worry. I've already contacted the related departments. All of them are waiting for your orders!" Tracey said with a smile."That's good!" Alice held her cup of coffee in her hands and looked downstairs. She immediately said to Tracey, "She's here! Go! Quick!""Sure!"…Ding! The moment the doors of the elevator opened, Everly led Annie and headed toward her office. Before she could reach her office, someone blocked them in their path."Violet!" A familiar voice rang through. Everly looked over. It was Alice.At that moment, Alice was standing by the side, smiling, and waving at her. She said, "I haven't seen you in a long time! It has been three days
Everly looked at Alice, then she looked at Tracey. Then, she laughed before looking at Alice once again."You want me to kneel?" Everly's tone was filled with sarcasm."Yes! I'm a generous person!" Alice had a condescending look.Everly smiled and nodded. Yes, how generous indeed! Everly was too lazy to be bothered with Alice's arrogance. She reached her hand out and shoved Alice to the side before walking directly into her office.Alice was smug because she initially thought that Violet would submit to her. She did not expect to be shoved, so she could not react in time. She almost fell to the ground. She immediately caught hold of herself and angrily went after Everly.Slam!Before she could enter Everly's office, Annie shut the door, almost ruining her nose."You!" Alice was furious. She could not fail just like that, yet she had no other choice. Thus, she looked at Tracey. Tracey immediately understood Alice and came over to knock on the door."Violet, come out! Do yo
Alice was instantly stunned, and her jaw dropped. Her mouth was gaping open so wide it could fit an egg!Everly had already headed in. Alice instantly wanted to follow along, but Robbie stopped her."Miss Davidson, please wait for her outside," Robbie said with a smile.Alice's eyes widened. She looked at Robbie in disbelief."What do you mean? Why can she enter, but I can't?""Miss Davidson, Mr. Baxter doesn't allow you in. I won't dare to let you in on my own volition. You'll put me in trouble," Robbie said perfunctorily. "But…" Alice looked at Everly entering. She was furious. "Then, why could she!""This, I don't know," Robbie said with a smile."Ah!" Alice looked at the door to the president's office shutting. She was extremely furious.…In the president's office.Everly closed the door, and then she turned around. She looked at Carson, who was sitting behind the desk looking at her. Her hands clenched tighter around the stack of drawings."You're here." Carson looke
Everly did not know how she should reply at that moment. She only pursued her lips tightly, turned her head to the side to avoid his gaze."Everly," Carson called her name out as usual.Everly was prepared that Carson would not hand over Oliver to her. She did not immediately reply. She placed the stack of drawings on the table and changed the topic."Since you're not planning to give me Oliver, then we won't talk about it for now. Let's talk about the collaboration.Carson furrowed his brows tightly, but Everly pretended not to notice. She had thought about two plans on the way there that day. The first was to ask for Oliver directly, but the possibility of him agreeing was not high. The second plan was, then she would start from the collaboration. As long as she was still in Baxter Group and had no movement limitations, then her previous plan could still continue."These are the drawings I did for the past few days because I was deliberately picked on by Alice. As for what is
There was a time when she longed to see that sort of emotion reserved only for her within his eyes. However, she was never given what she wanted, not even a little bit. It got to the point she gave up hope and almost died during that winter.It was like a feeling of someone waiting eagerly in the rain with an umbrella for a certain someone to come. No matter how long she waited, he never came, and so she was left in the storm until she was soaking wet and freezing.Perhaps that person came in the end, but a heart that had been frozen would never grow warm again.Everything that happened before felt like yesterday to her, and her heart was twitching in pain once again. She shoved him aside and trotted towards the door.Everly grabbed onto the doorknob until her fingers were turning white from the pressure and said, "Please control yourself, Mister Baxter. Enough with your hypocritical words, I would only feel… disgusted!"With that, she opened the door and left without giving him a
Everly darted out of the office and bumped into Alice, who had been waiting for her."Stay right there, Violet!" Alice blocked her way instantly and asked, "What have you been doing in there with Carson? Tell me!""Get out of my way!" Everly said. She was in no mood for Alice's nonsense."No way! You must tell me, or I'm not letting you go!" Alice insisted rudely, "I came prepared this time, don't even think about pushing me away!"Everly was beginning to get a headache from Alice's yelling and scrawled. "Annie, keep her away from me.""Yes!" Annie came over immediately.Alice was also shouting out to Tracey, but Annie was too strong for her. Everly took the opportunity to hurry inside the elevator and pressed the floor button.She closed her eyes at the weightless feeling as the elevator went up the floors.It was not important that Carson found out about her true identity; neither was his attitude towards her. All she needed to know and aim for was to obtain Oliver's custody
