Chapter 23
The girl was dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt. After catching her breath, she spoke up, “I‘m sorry, I‘m sorry, something came up while I was on the way here. That‘s why I was late! I‘m really sorry!” Everyone fixed their gazes on her. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Someone spoke up first. “Are you Jocelyn White?” The person asked with a heavy tone of
distaste.
“You‘re late on your first day of work. How admirable!” “Also, why are you dressing like this? Do you think that this is a university?” “Tsk tsk tsk… Is this the legendary jewelry genius that everyone‘s been talking about? Hah!”
The people gathered by the side spoke in sarcastic tones. The girl was stunned. After some time, she came to her senses and waved her hands. “No, I’m the new designer assistant, Yvie Claud!” Fiona stiffened after hearing Yvie’s words. She cast a hesitant glance at Jocelyn, who was sitting by the side. Her voice was full of shock and uncertainty. “Isn’t she the designer assistant?“. Everyone in the design department knew that Jocelyn White and the designer assistant were the only new employees at work today! Yvie was slightly dazed. She did not really understand what Fiona was talking about. Jocelyn raised her head slowly after hearing what Fiona said.
She stood up elegantly and looked around at everyone.
She then showed them a smile that did not reach her eyes. She spoke at an even pace, “Nice to meet you, I‘m Jocelyn White, the garbage that managed to receive special treatment and the
person that isn’t worthy of carrying Josie Sonnet’s shoes for her!”
The looks on everyone’s faces were really sights to behold! They did not expect to have badmouthed her thoroughly right before her. Although they wanted to butter up Fiona, they would only say such things when Jocelyn White was not here. After all, President Moore had recruited Jocelyn.
If Jocelyn was standing right in front of them, they would not have dared to badmouth her so recklessly!
Jocelyn did not seem to care about everyone’s reactions. She continued speaking calmly, “I know that Josie Sonnet is an extremely outstanding designer. I don‘t dare to compare myself to her either. I simply view her as my senior and my role model! As for the plagiarism incident, you‘re right. You can‘t believe everything they say online. I‘ll show everyone who the true plagiarizer was through my own abilities!”
After speaking, Jocelyn sat down. It was as if everything that had happened just now did not
happen at all.
The atmosphere grew awkward and stilted.
All the designers and assistants standing around her seemed to have gone mute. They lowered their heads and pretended to continue working. Fiona was the first to badmouth Jocelyn. Just then, she felt flames of rage surging within her. S he fixed a heavy stare upon Jocelyn‘s back. “Since you‘re Jocelyn White, why didn‘t you say so when you arrived here just now ?” Although Jocelyn was pretty, she was acting much more humble than they expected her to be. Fiona did not even think of associating her with the designer that was famous online right now.
Jocelyn turned around and raised her eyes to cast a glance at her. “May I know if you ever gave me the chance to speak?”
Fiona stiffened. She thought about her domineering attitude from just now. She felt even more furious!
She knew that Jocelyn White would be starting work today. She also knew that Skyler Moore had recruite d her personally to take Josie‘s place. She was already angry at her over this.
Furthermore, she had mistaken Jocelyn as a designer assistant when she arrived today. Meanwhile, the newly-hired designer assistant would be working under Jocelyn. She was venting her rage at Jocelyn through her previous behavior. She did not even ask about her name! Her face stung and heated up when she recalled all of this. Jocelyn had won this first round by retreating to advance. She had outright embarrassed her in front of everyone in the design department.
Fiona could not bear her rage. She stomped her foot in anger and stood up. She then stormed outside.
Nobody dared to say anything after Fiona left in a fit of rage. They finally realized that Jocelyn White was not someone to take lightly although she seemed quiet and reserved. Yvie walked in front of Jocelyn cautiously and said, “Nice… nice to meet you. I‘m Yvie Claud, your assistant!”
Jocelyn glanced at her and nodded lightly. “Yes!”
Yvie felt even more uneasy right now. Was she asking her to go away? She looked at Jocelyn timidly and asked, “Big Sis, did I do something wrong just now?” 1
Jocelyn looked at the pitiful girl. She could not help but think about herself from two years ago. She smirked playfully and asked, “How old are you?”
Yvie pursed her lips and said, “I‘m twenty years old!”
Jocelyn chuckled lightly and said, “I‘m twenty years old as well!”
“Ah!” Yvie did not understand what she meant. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Jocelyn‘s gaze sparkled as she teased her. “Perhaps you‘re older than me!”
