Chapter 40: Envy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing Rui Ya, Clair could not help but have a headache. He did not know what kind of attitude he should use to deal with Rui Ya.

“Say something!” Rui Ya looked at Clair and asked in silence, like a wife interrogating her husband.

“I just went on a business trip with Amelia. What are you talking about?”

“Something must have happened between the two of you. Otherwise, you’ve only been away for two days. The moment you come back, you were promoted. You…” Rui Ya suddenly thought of something.

“Are you Amelia’s sugar baby?”

Rui Ya’s words were so shocking that Clair almost fell off his chair.

“What are you talking about?”

“Otherwise, why would she promote you the moment you come back? Also, don’t ever doubt a woman’s intuition! The way she looks at you has changed!”

Clair’s expression became a little unnatural as he thought of the intimate contact he had with Amelia in the past two days.

“I knew it. Something must have happened between you guys!”RuiYa sharply caught the change in Clair’s expression.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I have to start working.” Clair stopped looking at Rui Ya.

Rui Ya frowned and was about to say something, but she thought about it and did not continue to ask. Instead, she left Clair’s office.

‘You’re mine. No one can take you away! Amelia is no good!’ Before she left, Rui Ya’s thoughts reached Clair’s mind.

“What kind of sin am I committing?!” Clair muttered as he watched Rui Ya leave.

‘Why couldn’t I resist having sex with Rui Ya?’ Clair thought of the madness he had with Rui Ya that night and regretted it.

It was fun at the time, but he got himself into trouble afterward. Clair turned to look at Amelia, who was working, with mixed feelings.

“Forget it. Let’s just take it one step at a time.” Clair also started to work.

However, at this moment, in a corner of the company, a woman was staring at Clair’s office with an indignant expression.

“Why? I worked hard for three years to become the Lead Designer. While he’s only been in the company for more than three months and he’s already the Chief Designer.”

“Miss CEO, you’re too biased! You can’t see us hard-working employees. Why does a newcomer like him get such preferential treatment? It’s just because he’s handsome!”

‘That must be the case. He must be the CEO’s mistress!’ Sindy thought unwillingly.

Sindy was the Lead Designer of Dawn Design Company. She had been working for the company for three years and was very diligent. Although she did not have any outstanding achievements, her professional skills and experience as a designer were still very good. If nothing unexpected happened, she would become the Chief Designer of the company in another year.

This should have been something to be happy about. It was not bad to be able to become a Chief Designer from an ordinary designer in four years, but Clair’s appearance made Sindy feel upset.

When Clair became the Lead Designer, she was one of the people who objected to it. Of course, this also included Clair’s promotion to the Chief Designer. She was definitely one of the people who was the most unhappy!

The main thing was that the gap between her and Clair was too big! She had worked hard for three years to get to the position of Lead Designer. Clair had only been here for a short time, but he was already the Chief Designer, and he was firmly above her.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt!

“I won’t let you get what you want!”

Two days later, when Clair was confirming the details of the construction with Anna, Sindy pushed open the office door and walked in.

Looking at Sindy’s unfamiliar face, Clair was puzzled.

“What’s the matter?”

“My name is Sindy, and I’m a Lead Designer in the company. I have a question for you,” Sindy pretended to ask for instructions.

Clair felt embarrassed, but his expression changed the next moment because Sindy’s voice rang in his mind.

‘You’re quite handsome. No wonder the CEO is supporting you!’

‘He looks quite sunny, but in the end, he willingly becomes the CEO’s lover. Hmph!’

Clair frowned and confirmed that the two consecutive voices were what the girl named Sindy was thinking.

‘When did I provoke her? Also, when did I become a lover?’ Clair suddenly remembered that two days ago, Rui Ya said that he was being kept by Amelia.

Rui Ya could not be talking nonsense, right?!

Clair’s expression turned slightly cold as he prepared to wait and see.

“Is there anything I can help with?”

“Can I treat you to a meal after work today? I have a lot of questions about design that I would like to ask you in person.” Sindy lowered her stance.

‘Since you’re willing to be the CEO’s lover, you must be a lecherous person. When the time comes, I’ll set you up and catch you with something that can be used against you to chase you out of the company!’

Clair did not understand. What kind of hatred was this? He looked deeply at Sindy again to make sure that he was not familiar with this girl. However, this made him even more confused. When did he offend this girl?

Seeing Clair’s silence, Sindy continued, “Please, I really want to learn from you.”

‘Like I would believe you!’ Clair narrowed his eyes at Sindy. After a moment, he decided to calm himself down.

“The main thing is that I still have some work to do. Let me think about it. I’ll give you an answer after work, okay?”

“Alright,” Sindy said. “Remember to give me an answer.”

After that, Sindy left the office.

After Sindy left, Clair began to think, but he still could not figure out the whole story.

However, after thinking for a while, Clair thought of a way to solve this problem.

Clair came to Rui Ya’s office.

Rui Ya, who was working, was surprised to see Clair suddenly appear in her office.

“Why are you here?”

“I need your help with something,” Clair went straight to the point.
