Alex Baker? That went to say that he was the one behind Mo Zilian's ploy? And to think that she actually trusted him! Never mind. They were not close friends to begin with. Why did she think she could trust him? He was only business minded. Now that she thought about it, it was no wonder his condition was that if she failed she would have to work for him for a year.
No wonder when she signed the contract, he was reluctant to give her a copy.
No wonder she always felt like someone was watching her closely. How could she not think about it before? He was the only other who wasn't a designer but frequented to the design department. She hadn't thought too much about it and assumed that since he was the talent scout it was just natural for him to check on the people he recruited.
Now that she won, would he go back on his words?
'It's a good thing I insisted on keeping the copy of the contract' she thought. But what if the cunning fox did something even crazier?
Wan Jia's face was extremely pale when she walked out. She even forgot about Yun Xuan. She really wanted to sleep.
"Wanwan!" Lu Aotian called out. He had searched everywhere for her as her phone was off. He even thought that she had gone out to celebrate with friends before he dismissed the thought. If she wanted to go out with friends, she would most probably inform him even using a friend's phone so that Little Jia doesn't worry about her. Finally he had found her. Waiting at the exit was the best option after all.
When she saw Lu Aotian, she rushed up to him and wordlessly hugged him. Her legs became weak as soon she was in his embrace.
Just as she was about to collapse, Lu Aotian lifted her in his arms. It was as if the two had combined reflexes.
Lu Aotian frowned at the girl's dejected look. "What happened?"
"Oh, I've been bullied! You must get justice for me." For some reason, she felt it was completely normal for her to rant to Lu Aotian. She held onto his neck looking very pitiful.
Her wronged expression compeled Lu Aotian to employ his universal fighting skills to protect her. "Who bullied you?" He asked looking like he was going to massacre them in a second.
She snuggled deeper into his embrace and whined "Alex Baker tricked me! That moron. He wanted to make me lose. He came up with that weird plan to sabotage me and make me remain in his company." Her tone was completely like that of a spoilt wife complaining to her husband after being bullied.
Alex Baker tricked her.... Seemed like he needed to send out more 'friendly greetings' tonight.
Lu Aotian put her carefully into the passenger seat before turning around and getting into the driver's seat. The wife had asked him to get justice for her, and justice she would get.
The sleepy girl in the passenger seat soon started drifting off to sleep. Lu Aotian drove slowly so as not to wake her up and stole glances at her several times. One of his top hobbies was watching her sleep. She looked just too beautiful. Especially whenever she rubbed her big beautiful eyes as sleep crept in and her eyelashes drooped slowly, and whenever those long lashes fluttered slightly as she woke up, one could just die and come back to life from watching her.
At Southside Villas, Lu Aotian carefully took the girl in his arms and walked into the house. He laughed as he passed by the living room and saw a ridiculously cute Little Jia rubbing her very sleepy eyes but still refusing to sleep.
He had left this tiny thing in bed. How did she appear in the living room? Since Little Jia wanted her father to accompany her to watch Wan Jia, he had to change his plans and not go to the venue. It was quite regretful as he wanted to watch her up close as she recieved her award. However, he could not bring Little Jia to such a place so he could only suck it up and watch the livestream with his daughter. It was a good thing that his capable wife brought him a good surprise by personally appearing in her design. She looked so gorgeous that he wished he could pull her off the stage and hide her away from the drooling eyes of the other men. They were staring at her too much! Could they please look elsewhere? Hey! That was his waist to hold. Not for them to drool over. He had almost hacked into the system to cut off the livestream then he remembered that there were hundreds of men in the venue and stopping the livestream wouldn't stop them from admiring her. His lungs were exploding! He really wanted to stop the whole event altogether.
When they requested to have Wan Jia do the closing, Lu Aotian wanted so badly to close down the Golden Designer Awards and make them disappear for good.
Yet he had to hold back. He knew that she cared about this award so much and would be sad if it didn't exist anymore.
