Skylerâs handsome face suddenly looked a little off-colored. His voice was stiff, âI was just asking, donât overthink it.â Jocelynâs voice was lukewarm, âOkay, I didnât. President Moore, what else can I do for you?â
Skyler almost vomited blood, he had never felt so aggrieved before. Why did he feel like he was in a hurry to talk to her?
He said bluntly as if he did not care, âNo, but Jim said he wanted to get together tonight. He hopes that I can ask you over and it depends on you if you want to go or not.â Jocelyn frowned. âWill it involve alcohol again?â
Skylèrâs expression was unpredictable. âWhat do you mean again?â Jocelynâs tone sounded more helpless, âPresident Moore, you were drunk last night, did you forget everything?â Skyler instantly thought of what happened last night and his voice suddenly sounded a little uncomfortable. âI drank too much last night and I blacked out.â
Jocelyn was even more helpless. She knew that this person must have forgotten, otherwise, he would not be able to talk to herself so casually today.
She said, âPresident Moore, you drank too much last night and youâre going drinking again tonight? I told my friends that weâll have dinner together, so I really donât have time at night. If you want to go, drink less.â
Skylerâs expression looked stiff. âWhich friend? Do I know them?â
Skyler was asking this question again and Jocelyn figured it would not be easy to con him again. So, she could only tell the truth, âIâm going with Director Lang and Lexie.â
Only then did Skyler remember that these three graduated from Mauve University together.
His eyes flashed, âOkay, I got it.â
After Skyler finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Jocelyn frowned and did not think much of it.
Coincidentally, Davis came back, and Jocelyn went to him.
âDirector Lang, can we terminate Danâs contract?â Jocelyn did not say anything about last night. Instead, she told Davis about Danâs attitude.
Davis frowned. âIf this contract is terminated, we will lose a lot unless they voluntarily terminate it.â
Jocelyn was a little helpless and hesitated. âHe didnât come to customize jewelry at all! Heâ¦â
Davis frowned when he saw Jocelyn like this. âJocelyn, is there something you didnât tell me?â
Jocelyn looked at Davisâ face. If she did not tell the truth, Davis probably would not understand how horrible Danâs attitude was.
She pursed her lips and said, âDan tricked me into going to a bar last night, saying that he wants me to customize some jewelry just to target President Moore and avenge himself, and⦠If my friend didnât save me last night, something bad might have happened to me. So, I donât want to continue to perform the contract.â Jocelyn said it lightly, but Davisâ face turned unpleasant. âDid he purposely make things hard for you last night?â He was a man, so when Jocelyn said that, he could basically imagine what happened.
He knew what methods Dan wanted to use against Jocelyn. If Jocelyn was not lucky, she would not be able to sit here unharmed today.
Jocelyn was now Prosperityâs hottest designer, so Dan wanted to hurt Jocelyn to slap Skyler in â the face.
He was so extremely despicable!
Davisâ face darkened.
Jocelyn was a little helpless. âDirector Lang, I know youâre worried about me, but Iâm fine, so donât be angry. Iâll be careful about this kind of contract in the future.â
Davis nodded. Then, he thought about it and said, âYou just fell into his trap accidentally last night. In fact, this contract has a lot of restrictions on the second party and Dan is not that stupid. He knows he wonât deceive you with the same excuse again unless he really wants to continue to customize the jewelry, otherwise, he will take the initiative to cancel the contract. Donât worry, this matter is not difficult to solve.â
Jocelyn nodded and pursed her lips. âI thought of this too, but I want to deal with this as soon as possible, and⦠I donât want President Moore to know about this.â
Davisâ eyes flashed. âIn this case, itâs not too late, letâs go to Dan now and solve this matter.â
Jocelyn breathed a sigh of relief. She had actually calmed down and analyzed the stakes of the matter Her analysis was the same as Davisâ. She was confident that she was able to persuade Dan to terminate the contract, but what happened last night traumatized her and she did not want to face Dan alone.
Fifty percent of people in Mauve City today knew that Dan was beaten up, found by sanitation workers early in the morning, and sent to Claude Hospital.
Davis and Jocelyn rushed to the hospital.
Inside Danâs ward, Dan saw that Yvonne was longing to stand against the wall and be as far away from him as possible.
He scoffed and took out his phone to play a recording.
Her conversation with Dan came out of the phone clearly.
âSay, Skyler is so heartless, and he doesnât care about anyone. Itâs so hard for me to crush his awe-
inspiring authority.â
âMr. Lester, youâre wrong. Iâm indeed not interested in Skyler, but thereâs a jewelry designer in Prosperity who Skyler cares about a lot.â
