Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 1247 Stella Doyle
Raeleigh was later taken to Jepherson's office to be penalized. She stood there the whole morning and had been mulling about in her own thoughts. Jepherson was busy with his own business affairs.
In fact, Raeleigh had always known that what the engineer had said was true. She realized that the construction team was very experienced. Although she didn't major in interior designing for cars, she was no less capable than the engineer, in theory.
But why hadn't she refuted him? She wanted to appear modest to her superior in the company.
But all that got messed up by Jepherson.
No one would dare to teach her anything then.
After standing there for the entire morning, Raeleigh had almost gone numb. Jepherson was finally finished with his work and looked up at her. "That lesson was quite a matter of fact. Do you understand what it means?"
"I do."
"So, even though you knew, you still listened to him?"
"I just feel that he had no ill intent. I will have to work with him in the future, and it wouldn't be good to offend him."
"Hmph! So, you were thinking long-term." Yet, it was fine to offend him?
His face looked gloomy. He stood up and walked to the side of the room. He poured a glass of water for Raeleigh and said, "You are the chief designer of the Harvey Group. There is no need for you to learn anything from them. If you want to learn something, then I can teach you."
Raeleigh looked at him. "But he's an engineer?"
"Do you need to see my engineering certificate?"
Raeleigh shook her head with a sad look.
"Let's head back."
He turned around and looked at his watch. Raeleigh had just walked to the door when he stopped her. "Have lunch with me."
This was an order. Raeleigh couldn't refuse.
After saying yes, Raeleigh walked out of the office and went back to her own office.
The day before, because of her, some people were let go. That morning, there was a lot of gossip in the company. Right then, since Jepherson had offended the engineer, would she be able to do anything else in the future?
Back at the door of her office, Raeleigh didn't notice when a woman passed by.
Raeleigh stopped and looked at her. The woman looked at her with contempt and turned away.
According to their employee tag, she was a designer as well, but she hadn't noticed her before.
There was no one else around her, so she didn't ask about it.
After heading back to her office for some brief reflection, she accompanied Jepherson to lunch that afternoon. She later learnt that her name was Stella. She was a designer who was forced to join the Harvey Group.
Raeleigh felt a sharp sting whenever she thought about Stella.
How could she say it?
When she introduced herself, she looked at everyone with a warm smile. It was her especially dignified, elegant posture and appearance which made countless people feel refreshed.
She had graduated from overseas. Her family was related to the Harvey Family. It was known that her grandmother and Paige were good friends.
She came to the Harvey Group for an internship, but she worked hard and was very sincere. As soon as she joined the company, she was admired and loved by many people. Everyone talked about how good she was.
But Raeleigh remembered that when she was at the entrance of the company, she had hit her with force and had then quickly left.
Raeleigh didn't hear it at first, but later on, she learnt that she was a part of Stella's department and they shared a floor.
"There are several designers in our company. When Miss Doyle signed up, she filled in two names as her instructors. One was the vice president, and the other was Lamarre. Was Lamarre thinking about recruiting another student? The vice president must have something to do with this."
Someone suggested that. Raeleigh looked at Lamarre, who was drinking tea. He was the only person in the conference room who received such treatment.
"If Lamarre doesn't have time, then I can wait." Stella smiled brilliantly and replied politely.
Raeleigh felt like Stella had an appeal that attracted a lot of people. A smile could move people.
The people in the conference room began to whisper to each other. Someone asked, "All our supervisors have been leading other people. We have two. Is Lamarre..."
"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving." Lamarre went to the door and left.
Raeleigh looked embarrassed, while everyone looked at her.
She couldn't stay any longer. She stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go and look for Mr. Lee."
She left as well. Everyone in the conference room looked at Jepherson. Paige called right after.
"Even if you keep up this act, I'm already going to die as it is. Don't you think it's gone on long enough? Your parents will be back the day after tomorrow, and I don't expect them to come home. Isn't two months enough?"
Paige was clearly referring to Stella. Jepherson knew exactly what she had in mind for Stella.
They had met and played together when they were children. Stella's temperament was still good.
"I know." Jepherson hung up the phone, considered this for a moment, stood up, and said, "I personally taught Miss Doyle about design, but... not as a mentor, but only as a guide. If you need anything, then come to me. As long as I have time, I will help you. Welcome to our company. I hope we can do good work together."
After Jepherson said that, he left. Stella smiled. She didn't get up, and the group of people around her were eager to talk to her.
It wasn't until night time when Raeleigh learnt that Jepherson had taken Stella with him. The whole company was talking about it. They also said that Stella had been sent by her grandmother, so she was treated much better than most.
Instructors were masters, but guidance was a different thing altogether. Stella might marry into the Harvey Family.
Raeleigh stood outside the company, while people nearby kept talking about it. She didn't think too much about it. She was looking forward to the new term.
"You see, there is a tiger eyeing you." Lamarre stood aside and said nothing else.
"Come, let's go home." Lamarre's car was in front of her. Raeleigh shook her head and said, "No, my brother is picking me up."
"Then, make a phone call and I'll take you home."
Before Raeleigh could make the call, Stella and Jepherson walked out of the company. As soon as she came out, she looked around for someone. When she saw Raeleigh, she walked towards her immediately.
"This is Stella, the granddaughter of my grandmother's friend. We spent a lot of time together when we were little. You two have met before, Raeleigh." Jepherson introduced her casually, but she didn't respond. Stella smiled and stretched out her hand towards Raeleigh. "I heard Jepherson talk about you. I remembered that we met at the door of your office this morning. We accidentally bumped into each other. Nice to meet you. I am Stella. Please show me the ways of this company."
Raeleigh thought about it for a while and gave her hand to Stella. "Nice to meet you."
Stella withdrew her hand and looked back at Jepherson. "Jepherson, I'll wait for you in the car."
"Okay," he replied. Stella had already turned away and went to his car. Raeleigh watched her go as she left. She got the feeling that Stella wasn't such a simple person.
Stella had taken the initiative to explain that they met that morning and had bumped into each other.
Raeleigh clearly remembered that Stella had deliberately hit her and looked back at her with contempt. But she said that they had hit each other by accident. It meant that she wasn't deliberately distorting the facts.
But just by looking at her, Jepherson believed her.
