Looking at her dewy eyes, Franklin cast his eyes down andapproached, "Honey, I can buy LX for you. What do you think?"

Sylvia snorted, "If I want it, I can get it easily."

With those words, she strode toward her coworkers.

Franklin frowned slightly, wondering what she meant precisely andwhether she implied many men would buy it for her to gain her favor.Sylvia went to Shiloh, who was chatting with their coworkers whileholding a glass of wine. None of them had expected Franklin to be themajor investor.

Seeing Sylvia come over, Shiloh asked, "Boss, are you SylviaAndrews?"

"Ms. X, Sylvia Andrews is an online celebrity. We've been workingtogether for such a long time. None of us has seen your face before.""X, can we take a look, please?"

“Let us see your face."

"X, what's your relationship with Mr. Maskelyne? He seems to careabout you a lot."

Several coworkers started to jest.

Amused, Sylvia shook her head. Before replying to them, a woman saidin jealousy, "Mrs. Maskelyne is at home. Someone must have donesomething dirty to get promoted."

"What do you mean, Luz?" Shiloh said sullenly.

"No implications. Just the literal meaning.” Luz Craig chuckled indisdain, "Or why did someone scold her in her presence? Would theyhave cursed her if she hadn't done anything shameful?"

Luz was on good terms with Reina, whose career and life had beenruined.

Since Reina had been kicked out of LX Fashion Company, the designdirector's position was vacant. Luz had thought she had thecompetence to become the new design director. However, Designer Xhad just won a prize and became the biggest obstacle for her to bepromoted.

Therefore, she detested Sylvia, thinking Sylvia was too triumphant justbecause of that prize.

Earlier, she witnessed two women curse Sylvia, so she believed Sylviamust have done something disgusting.

Besides, Sylvia hit on Franklin, the most handsome, influential man.Luz might have hidden her disgust toward Sylvia well earlier. Afterseeing how uniquely Franklin treated Sylvia, she could hardly controlher jealousy and hatred.

They both were designers, but Designer X seemed to be extremelylucky. She hadn't only won a prize but also attracted the mostoutstanding man's attention.

Shiloh wanted to retort to her, but Sylvia tugged her arm to stop her.“Let's go over there."

"X, why did you stop me? I was about to curse her." Shiloh angrilyfollowed Sylvia to a quiet balcony.

Sylvia beamed at her. "It's not worth getting even with that kind ofwoman. Let her enjoy the short victory of winning a verbal fight."

She peered out the window to enjoy the night view.

Besides, her initial goal of becoming an LX designer was to...

Forget it. She brought herself out of her scattered thoughts.

"X, if there's a new design director in our department, it must be you,"Shiloh flattered her.

Sylvia shook her head. “I'm not interested."

Although talking to Mike, Franklin paid attention to Sylvia, checking onher occasionally.

Seeing Luz insult Sylvia, he furrowed his brows slightly and wasangered by how bold Luz was to humiliate Sylvia.

Luz noticed his glance, feeling joyful. She wondered if Franklin had acrush on her. However, she ignored his disgusted and cold gaze,straightening her dress.

Then she picked up a glass of wine from a waiters tray, swingingtoward Franklin.

She thought Franklin had shown a sign to her, so she must act smartly.Luz felt complacent.

Standing next to Franklin and Mike, she couldn't repress her thumpingheart when facing Franklin at such a short distance.

With a closer look, she found him more handsome and elegant. Hisevery movement indicated he was a nobleman with elegance.

Gazing at him obsessively and thinking he took the initiative to hit onher, Luz raised her goblet and said coquettishly, "Mr. Maskelyne, let'shave a drink."

Franklin darted at her from the corner of his eye and said to Mike, "I likeyour ideas, Mr. Alexander. That's impressive."

Luz tightened her grip on the goblet, her smile frozen. A trace ofembarrassment flashed through her face.

Things were different than she had imagined as Franklin ignored her.He was staring at her earlier, wasn't he?

In a panic, Luz tried hard to keep her smile and added, "Mr. Maskelyne,you've become the major shareholder of LX. I look forward to workingwith you in the future.”

"Working with me? Do you think you deserve it?" Franklin chuckledironically. Holding his goblet, he clinked it with Mike.

Mike left sensibly, leaving the private space for Franklin and Luz.

Luz paled, glaring at the handsome man in disbelief. “I... I beg yourpardon. You just..."

"Who are you?" Franklin wondered what the stupid woman wanted tosay, his eyes filled with impatience.

"You stared at me just now. Don't you like me?" Luz looked at him,feeling heartbroken. She thought she looked pitiful while sheddingtears, and Franklin would want to protect her and dote on her.

Franklin understood what she referred to, finally. "I see what youmean."

He looked at Luz up and down. The woman couldn't compare to Sylviain terms of body shape, appearance, character, and talent. He wassurprised such an ordinary scum had been so bold to provoke Sylvia.Noticing his gaze, Luz had a ray of hope again and thought Franklinhad recalled he stared at her earlier.

She twisted her body, acting cute while clinging to him. "Mr. Maskelyne,take it easy. You'll have a great night with me. I'm better than DesignerX."

Franklin flinched. Luz was off guard, almost falling to the ground.Standing in embarrassment and disappointment, she was shocked as itwas out of her expectation again.

"Kick her out! Let LX fire her!" Franklin ordered icily. Jasper rushed toLuz with several bodyguards in black.

After capturing Luz, they dragged her toward the entrance. Luz wasbaffled. "No... Please, Mr. Maskelyne. Why are you doing this? Mr.Maskelyne..."

Franklin sternly strode toward Sylvia, who was chatting and laughingwith Mike.

He felt hurt as Sylvia didn't notice how hard he tried to clean theobstacles for her. Instead, she was chatting with another man.

"Mr. Alexander, you invited me to work with you on one design project?Are you serious?" Sylvia asked, her jaws going slack, her eyes filledwith surprise.

Mike wore a loving smile and didn't look as stern as on the stage. Hewas like an easygoing elder. "Yes, I am. Ms. X, I like your talents verymuch.”

Sylvia nodded at him with a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Alexander. I'll try mybest to do it well.”

"After I finish my current work, I'll go to H Rovirsa in person. Then wecan work on the design project.” Mike looked forward to the scene. "HRovirsa is a beautiful country.”

"You are welcomed to visit my country at any time." Sylvia reached outher hand to shake hands with him.

Before Mike took her hand, a large hand gripped it.
