Chapter 38: Why should I help you?
Elda was momentarily a little diffident, she didn’t want to participate in the bet even though she had started it.
So her gaze went to the others in the workroom, but everyone who came into contact with her gaze moved away, not wanting to get involved at all.
Elda had no way to back out and felt nothing but anger building up inside her.
Weren’t they all usually unhappy with Victoria? How come at this point, all of them were afraid to respond to the battle?
Of course she didn’t dare to admit it, that she was angry and that she was mad at herself. Knowing she couldn’t compete with Victoria, so why was she stupid enough to be the outlier?
Her hand hanging to one side slowly clenched as her nails embedded themselves in her palm.
“That’s not fair at all, Nick must have told you a long time ago what style he likes now that he favors you! And we know nothing about it, how can we compare to you?”
She made excuses for herself, and even if she did lose this time, it would be because Victoria had the upper hand to begin with. Victoria won dishonorably.
But Victoria just looked up faintly, “Why make so many excuses when you can just give up if you don’t want to compete.” From start to finish, her tone was light, and in contrast to Elda’s irritation and thousand excuses, Victoria was too calm.
Elda was speechless and only felt humiliated.
That bitch, why must she embarrass her so much!
What kind of vision did Nick have? How could he have liked her design?
Elda’s heart was full of malice, but her mouth wasn’t so tough. She really didn’t want to give up, and if she didn’t get involved, how would she be able to work in the studio in the future?
Maybe if she could meet Nick with Victoria, Nick would see her looks, her body, and like her?
Her gaze suddenly changed again, “Match is fine, but you have to take me with you to see Nick.”
Victoria frowned, why was she taking her?
Elda picked up again, “You’ll have plenty of chances to meet up with him afterward, won’t you? Just think of it as bringing a colleague to observe, I won’t bother you, or else? Are you afraid that Nick will come to me after he gets to know about my design ideas?”
Elda’s body heated up a little as she said the last three words.
She thought that Nick’s looks, body, temperament, whatever it was, was captivating the opposite sex. Why would she be employed in a tiny studio, if she could really be liked by him?
Her cheeks were flushed, and it didn’t take much for Victoria to see what she was thinking.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Victoria thought it was funny. After waiting for that girl for so many years, how could he easily have anything to do with other girls?
After three years of marriage to him, she hadn’t even seen him once, so why would a woman like Elda think that if Nick even looked at her, he’d be hooked?
She didn’t want to make such a verbal argument, her brow furrowed, “We’re rivals, so why should I help you?”
Elda couldn’t get a word out of her mouth at that statement, only her chest vibrated.
This bitch!
Her chest heaved with anger as she stared at Victoria with resentment.
And Victoria took the materials from her workstation, said goodbye to Wesley, and left.
She was only a part-time worker and didn’t have to work in the office.
As she watched her leave so dashingly, Elda only felt the resentment in her heart grow heavier.
She had to steal this one from Victoria! There was always another way to meet Nick.
Off to the side, Wesley raised his hand and rubbed his brow, “Elda, Nick’s already married. It’s just not being reported in the media.”
He was trying to imply that don’t do something extra and bring the whole studio into disrepute.
“How can it be?” Almost by reflex, Elda retorted.
Wesley’s tone was undeniable, “From his cousin himself.”
But he omitted Gabriel’s comment about Nick being in a messy divorce, otherwise Elda would continue to do something stupid.
After a brief moment of shock, Elda calmed down, with a glint in her eye.
Getting married without much news showed that the woman’s family was not of high status or something else, otherwise the media would have reported it.
She hadn’t thought she’d get a chance to meet Nick, but now she could try to start with Nick’s wife.
