Chapter 8 Daniel Was Heartbreaking
Amber's face changed. She wanted to order a set of jewelry and selected this jewelry design company. But she didn't expect to see Freya as the chief designer of that company when she was flipping through the magazine.
Therefore, Amber immediately chose Freya to design the jewelry. Amber had been expecting Freya to be really pissed off when Freya saw her life was glorious. However, after a few days of picturing this in her head, what Amber saw was Freya's indifferent expression.
How could Amber be content to see this?
"Freya, don't you want to talk to me about the old times? How have you been doing lately?"
"Mrs. Dawson, if you are curious about my private life, you'd better leave! If you want me to work for you, please put forward your request."
Freya hated Amber so much that she was so desperate to deport her straight back to hell. But for the sake of her son, Freya could live with everything that was intolerable to her nature.
Amber sized her up with critical eyes. Freya looked rosey-cheeked with her glowing complexion. She was dressed nicely in a grey suit that fitted her perfectly, looking smart, capable, and experienced. What upset Amber even more was that Freya was the chief designer. But how could it be possible?
Freya was indeed talented at painting, but was just an amateur. However, four years apart, against Amber's expectations, Freya became so brilliant.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. Freya in her expectation should be down and out, incompetent and had better live at the bottom of the heap.
When Freya refused to talk about the past, Amber had to stand up and said, "You have three days to turn in a draft that I am satisfied with. If you can't do that, don't blame me for complaining to your boss about your incompetence, though you're my acquaintance. I'll see how long you can still be the chief designer." With that, Amber walked towards the door with an arrogant face. When she was about to reach the door, she turned around, raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and said, "Freya, this is my turf. It's not that easy for you to get through this."
Outside the conference room, a pair of large, black, jewel-toned eyes stared through the window at what was happening inside. Anger blazed out of his eyes. Damn, this woman dared to threaten and bully his mommy.
Freya squeezed her hands into fists because Amber's threat set her off. But Freya would not let her win. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
She remained calm and fearless.
There was a disapproving look on Amber's face when she saw that Freya was neither worried nor terrified. "Freya, Edgar and I are very happy. I warn you not to appear before Edgar. The sight of you disgusts him."
Freya's lips curved upward into a mocking smile. She turned around and said, "I don't have time for this."
It seemed a little strange to Amber when Freya was not annoyed by what she said. Did Freya suffer from amnesia? Didn't she remember what happened four years ago?
Otherwise, she should have been furious when Amber provoked her like that!
"Mrs. Dawson, you can go." With that, Freya pulled the door open and walked out of the door.
Freya was not sprinting for her office but the restroom.
She felt the emotions coiling within her body and her eyes began to tear up. She hated to face her son like that, so she had to gather herself together before going out.
However, Freya didn't know that Daniel was behind her looking at her with a distressed look on his face. His small hands clenched into fists. He thought his mommy must be crying in anger!
Amber was respectfully sent away by several assistants.
Freya came from the direction of the bathroom and suddenly saw Daniel standing in the corridor. She was startled, but still smiled at him right away. "Daniel, what are you doing here? I told you to stay with Shannon."
Daniel looked at Freya with big black eyes. Staring at her eyes that were red, he reached out and hugged her. "Mommy..."
"What's up?"
Daniel shook his head. He felt frustrated because he was too young to protect her mommy from the bad guys. He thought if only his daddy were here.
"Mommy, if daddy were here, you wouldn't have to work so hard."
Freya was taken aback why Daniel suddenly got this idea in his head.
"Mommy loves this job! I don't find it hard," Freya said, smiling.
But Daniel heard all those conversations just now. He was angry and bitter because the woman who was dressed in her fancy finery bullied his mommy.
"But, but if only we got Daddy here to protect you."
