Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 84

All Jean's colleagues were extremely busy, but she was the only one with nothing to do.

She had no appetite for lunch at all. So she asked Maranda to bring her a sandwich. It was not until the afternoon that Sonny came back to the office.

When Jean saw Sonny, she buried her head among the document folders. She didn't dare to meet his gaze.

She was able to avoid being seen but her couldn't escape being called.

"Jean, come to my office." Sonny went into his office after calling her out. His tone was very serious.

Jean raised her head and took a deep breath. She finally plucked up the courage to follow Sonny into his office.

Just when Sonny sat down, Jean knocked on the door and entered the office. On the side of the room stood John.

She clenched her teeth, walked up to Sonny and said timidly and guiltily, "Master..."

"I heard that you were sick yesterday. Are you feeling better now?" Sonny stood at his desk and tidied up the scattered documents.

"Er... It's just a fever. I feel much better today." She pressed her lips sightly and took a glance at John.

John stood there solemnly at this time, expressionless.

"Send this document to the Qi Group." Sonny picked up one document from the desk and handed it to John. John took it over and left the office without saying anything.

When Jean heard Sonny mentioned the Qi Group, she felt uneasy for she had messed up the task given to her. She was afraid that Sonny would be disappointed at her. The thought of Zed upset her too. She decided to admit her mistake.

"Master, sorry, I..."

"Since you are much better now, come to a dinner party with me tonight." He ignored her apology directly. However, there was no sign of anger in his seemingly serious face.

'He did not get angry? His tone sounded normal too, ' Jean thought to herself. Only then did she feel a little relieved. Breathing out gently, she then asked, "A dinner party?"

"Just a simple dinner with some of my friends whom I often cooperate with, and also several famous masters in the photography circle. They were all very curious when they heard that I had an apprentice. We agree to have a dinner together tonight, so they asked me to bring you along."

A simple as that!

Jean's anxiety melted away immediately when she heard what Sonny had said. However, seconds later, she hesitated and said, "But I don't have any achievements yet. Are a greenhorn like me qualified to dine with your friends?"

She was afraid of disgracing her master and becoming a laughing stock for being a beginner.

Sonny put some of the photos that had already been edited well into the drawer, and then walked up to Jean, holding his cup. His gentle face became serious again. "Jean, you should have a clear understanding of yourself. You have to know that although you are very talented in photographing, you are too timid and always afraid of many things. I don't like this about you. I want you to be confident. Don't hesitate to do whatever I ask of you in the future."

"Ok." Jean nodded gently.

Sonny went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water, and walked slowly to the window. He took a sip of the water before saying, "I know that you have been worried about the photos these days. Since I am back now, you won't be responsible for the follow-up work with the Qi Group."

"What are we going to do with Qi Group's request for a re-shoot?" Jean asked with guilt.

"You don't have to ask more about this matter."

"Well... Okay."

In the evening, Jean attended the dinner party with Sonny.

She was a little nervous on the way to the hotel. Sonny noticed her nervousness and told a few jokes to ease her. Although the jokes weren't funny at all, she was really grateful and she did relax a little.

At the dinner party, things did not go as Jean had imagined. She just showed up and was praised by Sonny's friends who were all famous seniors. They talked to Sonny about things related to their work but Jean just sat aside and drank a few glasses of wine.

She drank a lot recently. Maybe her immunity increased with her alcohol consumption. After several glasses, she didn't feel dizzy at all. It was quite amazing.

She went out to the bathroom midway. When she came back, she saw Eva.

Eva wore a pink Chanel suit which was very popular this year. With white stilettos on her feet, she headed towards Jean. Next to her, there was a gorgeously dressed woman with heavy makeup. The two chatted happily.

Jean recognized the woman next to Eva. Not long ago, when Zed Qi brought her to a party, it was also the same woman that stood beside Eva.

Birds of a feather flocks together. They were both mean people.

Jean quickly turned around to avoid meeting them. She planned to sneak back to the bathroom before being seen.

Her idea sprouted too late. Eva looked up and saw Jean. Surprise was evidently on her face.

"Hey, isn't that our elegant Miss Wen? What are you doing here?" Eva walked slowly toward her with a big yet fake smile.

Jean did not speak. She had learned her lesson last time and made up her mind not to make friends with people like Eva. She knew clearly that Eva's kindness was just a scheme. All Eva wanted was to regain Zed's love with the help of Jean.

But this kind of woman could suddenly change her attitude and turn on the person she used to be nice to. Jean was not her rival when coming to play tricks. It was better for Jean to be away from Eva.

Seeing that Jean was going to leave, Eva reached out her hand and stopped her. Sue, who stood by her, also raised her head high to show her arrogance and stared at Jean disdainfully.

"What do you want?" Jean frowned. Was it possible that Eva wanted to embarrass her here just like the last time?

She came here to attend a dinner party with Sonny and his friends. She shouldn't cause any trouble.

"I don't want to do anything. Can't I just greet my old friend?" Eva raised her head high. Wearing exquisite makeup, her face was full of sarcastic expression.

"Old friend?" Jean paused and asked questionably, "When did I become an old friend with you?"

"Have you forgotten? We were still friends when you tricked me. You used me to improve your relationship with Zed. But luckily, Zed had came to know what kind of person you are and chosen to stand on my side." She said triumphantly, a big smile creeping onto her bright red lips.

Jean did not understand Eva's last sentence. She was already absent for some time from her table. She wasn't in the mood to question Eva further. She took a deep breath and smiled at her, "Sorry, I have to go now. Let's chat another time."

"Want to leave?" Sue, who was on the other side, walked to Jean to stop her from leaving. She raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly, "You must apologize to our Eva first."

Apologize? Jean could not believe what she just heard. She gnawed her teeth. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to avoid trouble, she wouldn't have stood being treated like this.

If she could leave safe and sound with just an apology, it did not matter at all.

"I'm sorry." Jean said coolly.

Seeing that Jean had bowed down to them so easily, both of the two women stunned.

"Can I leave now?"

"You think a mere apology would solve everything?" Sue continued. It was obvious that they did not want Jean to leave so easily.

Eva folded her arms to her chest and looked at Jean proudly. The mocking smile on her red lips looked rather threatening and ugly.

Jean was very angry, but she could not show her anger or argue with them. She tried to hold back her emotions and smiled before saying, "Well, what else do I need to do?"

"Kneel down!"

"Kneel down?" Jean's eyes widened. She said angrily, "I did what you've asked me to do. Why do I need to kneel down? I'm not letting you have it your way!"

"Who is..."

"Zed!" Eva looked up and waved to show her location. The arrogant expression on her face immediately changed. Sue also closed her mouth. Shocked to hear his name being called, Jean turned around.

Zed walked by Jean. He was dressed in a whole black suit as usual.

When their eyes meet, Zed just gave Jean a glance as if she were a stranger to him.

"Zed! I have been waiting for you for a long time." Eva walked to Zed and held his hand. She leaned on Zed intimately as if they were a couple.
