Chapter 35
Nina took heavy steps toward the bedroom, constantly thinking about what happened that night. She threw herself down on the soft cotton bed, tossed and turned for a while but couldn’t sleep. The image of Ethan waiting for her in front of her house made her heart skip a beat. During the two people’s meeting, it seemed like Ethan didn’t say a word like he had no intention of communicating with Nina. Even worse, she could fall asleep in his car, but Ethan didn’t seem to feel uncomfortable.
Nina frowned, she must find out why he came here today, otherwise, she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep all night.
But, just a few seconds later, the scene of a happy family of three walking hand in hand into a restaurant appeared in Nina’s mind. Like a smart switch in her brain going off, Nina was stunned for a moment. Just a few days ago, Ethan took Rose and David out to eat, but today he ran to her place.
“Damned!” Nina silently cursed in her heart. She was so angry that she wanted to fume, her legs struggled, kicking the cotton blanket to the ground.
She definitely won’t make the same mistakes a second time. No matter what Ethan’s purpose for coming here today is… he definitely won’t get what he wants, she loudly declared, “Ethan! you failed.”
She opened her eyes, looked up at the ceiling, grabbed a pillow with one hand, and placed it on her chest, trying to do the mental work for herself, thinking to herself, “This is just the beginning.”
Yes, that’s it..
The next day. Nina went to Wilson Group to work as usual. She wanted to speed up this collaboration so she could return to the Ricci brand’s headquarters to work. Having to work for the same company as Ethan every day makes Nina nervous and scared. She wants to end it as soon as possible.
Everyone in the office knows how much of a workaholic Nina is, but today she made them panic. The amount of work has doubled, but the completion time must be as fast as possible. One Nina’s work can be equal to a group of people combined Y can feel that her mood today is not very good.
The specific manifestations were that when we met in the meeting room, we felt cold, when we met in the tea room, we still felt cold. Even when we met Nina in the bathroom, she felt like she was doing some kind of scientific mission, very concentrated, and ignored everything around you.
During the weekly meeting in the afternoon, all the fashion departments of the Wilson Group participated. The assistant director announced that the general director would be on a business trip for a while, so the cooperation with the brand was temporary. Ricci Brand will be in charge of the deputy director,
Nina has never met this deputy director, but she knows that the deputy director rarely comes to the company because this person only holds a large number of shares in Wilson Group, considered a major shareholder,, does not participate in management or decisions about the corporation’s affairs due to her age and is a woman. Perhaps shortly the deputy director will also step back to let the younger generation take charge and inherit her efforts.
“Miss Nina Riccit The deputy director is inconvenient to come to the company, so ifthere is anything you want to discuss you can go through me. I will notify the deputy director.” The assistant leaned over and looked down, at the last chair in the row, Nina was intently looking at her design.
Nina heard her name, reflexively raised her face, faced her assistant, and nodded slightly, “Okay.”
The deputy director is very knowledgeable about fashion, and she likes Ms. Nina Ricci’s collections. We hope that this collaboration will bring great buzz in the fashion industry, this also the reason The deputy director wants to take charge of this job instead of the general director. The assistant’s eyes lit up as he repeated the deputy director’s words.
A round of enthusiastic applause rang out in the room. Regardless of whether it was sincere or fake, all their admiring eyes

were directed at Nina, making her a bit embarrassed.
“Thank you for the deputy director’s concern, I will not disappoint her and everyone!
But her smile wasn’t really happy either.
“Okay, let’s end the meeting, everyone goes back to your work positions.”
It’s unusual, that in such a busy working day, except for close colleagues, no one has time to care about Nina’s feelings.
Only Sofia is the closest assistant and like a friend who always observes and guesses Nina’s mood.
Sofia sat at her desk, she was coloring the new designs to have the most harmonious colors possible, that was her job. Sofia vaguely heard the sound of a collision. Nina making coffee deliberately poked the bottom of the cup with a spoon, creating an unpleasant echo.
He was still mumbling in his mouth, his tone was not very good, but there was not a single sentence in his voice that did not include the word “Ethan“.
It must be said that Sofia was stunned.
This general manager, Wilson, was able to anger Nina so much. Before Sofia knew Nina, she was always a calm person and rarely showed her emotions.
Sofia frowned slightly.
Ethan is the big boss, of course, she doesn’t dare to speak up, but as a friend Sofia is determined not to let Nina be bullied
Did Ethan do anything excessive?
Some people don’t know if their nerves are not sharp or if they deliberately want to be at the front of the gun.
In the afternoon, Sofia came next to Nina’s desk and was about to say something when a young–looking girl came over, 1ing very confident and arrogant. Besides her, there are also a few subordinates
“Nina Ricci! How is your day going?
“I feel like you’re unhappy.”
“Being praised and cared for by the deputy director, must be fun, right?”
“Let’s go have a meal together tonight.”
Sofia knew that she was the head of the fashion design department of the Wilson–Lynne Group. It was said that she was very talented. The fashion department had just been established at the group, but she was immediately appointed as the head of the department. proves very capable. But since the group cooperated with the Ricci brand, everyone’s attention was on Nina, Lynne was just a small supporting part behind the scenes, making her somewhat jealous. To be more precise, they were like two rooms competing with each other. Lynne suddenly came by today, so there was nothing close to them
Lynne’s voice was neither loud nor soft, even Sofia could hear it clearly, but Nina still typed on the computer without responding, as if she didn’t hear
Lynne’s expression was not very good, she continued, “I heard that you and photographer Jake are dating, a person who is both favorable at work and lucky in love should be happy.
Nina continued to ignore Lynne, not talking to her at all, Sofia stood next to her and laughed softly. Seeing Lynne’s talkative yet beautiful appearance, Sofia felt funny for some reason
Over here. Lynne couldn’t be patient anymore, so she used her index finger to tap Nina’s desk hard.

“Miss Nina Ricci! I’m talking to you.”
Nina suddenly regained consciousness, raised her head, her eyes suddenly opened wide, and looked at Lynne in bewilderment.
Then Sofia saw Nina lift her hair and take off the two wireless headphones from her ears.
“Are you talking to me?” Nina’s toneB

quite polite, ‘T’m wearing noise–canceling headphones, the frequency is quite loud, and I’m quite absorbed, I can’t hear you,
Lynne’s face was unsightly but she still had a forced smile, more precisely fake, “Nothing, I just care about you a little, san that you were in a bad mood today, wanted to ask if there was any problem.”, maybe Jake took good care of you.”
Hearing that, Nina’s face changed immediately, as fast as the weather. Nina glanced at Lynne up and down, not knowing why she mentioned Jake, but she also didn’t have time here to chat with Lynne. Nina coldly said, “What does it have to do with you?”
The momentum of this sentence was so strong that more or less all the surrounding colleagues heard it, and the atmosphere suddenly bei
Lynne’s face darkened, not knowing what to say next.
Nina didn’t pay attention to her. After putting her headphones back on her ears, she focused on looking at the collection photos.
The atmosphere around Lynne became calmer, her face changed from blue to white.
Nina continued to focus on her work. Lynne was angry and had no place to vent so she could only wave her hands and quickly leave.
The onlooker closest to the scene, Sofia, no longer noticed Lynna’s expression as she left.
Seeing that Nina was so busy, Sofia didn’t bother her friend anymore and left directly, returning to her messy pile of
documents.
