Stuck On You novel Chapter 76

In the days after Jarred's visit, Chason hadn't returned to the villa of the Jiang family. It was not because he didn't want to, he just didn't know how to face Claire for a moment.

It was not his fault, but the person who killed the child was his grandfather. What should he say? If Claire knew all this, how could she not hate his grandfather?

However, Claire seldom went back to the villa recently. It was not because of anything else. There were a lot of things in the company. Besides, she was a newcomer. Whether it was professional or experienced, it was not easy for her.

What made her even more helpless was that the director wanted to give the leading role of this design plan to one of her and Linda, so he asked them to submit the preliminary design plan of the orphanage.

Claire looked at the E-mail helplessly. Linda was not only an elite who came back from abroad after studying, but also a backbone of the Flower Wheel Company. In any way, she couldn't compare with Linda.

Of course, the fact that Claire, who had just entered the Flower Wheel Company, was in charge of the design campaign with Linda, left many people with some doubts in their minds. Of course, everyone wanted to see whether Claire, who just came here from nowhere, was capable or not.

However, Linda was not convinced. She was a famous designer in this field. How can Claire, as a newcomer with no work, compete with her?

Linda had always been arrogant and took the lead in the Flower Wheel Company's Design Department. Now, Claire came.

Katy had never liked such an arrogant person like Linda. When the director gave the notice, she took the opportunity to laugh at her. "Linda, there's a competitor this time. You must be careful not to be stolen the limelight."

"What are you talking about? Is Linda going to lose to a new comer?" Wendy, who was beside Linda, spoke for her.

Linda didn't take the newcomer seriously at first. Although Claire was the person in charge of this project after she came in, the Flower Wheel Company's Design Department has hired many employees through backdoor for several years. These people who were not capable enough could not threaten her at all. In addition, Linda was not a girl from an ordinary family. Her family was also famous in the design field of S City. She was not afraid of Claire in terms of background.

However, at this moment, the director actually let Claire, the new comer, compete with her, which made her feel bad and a little surprised. When she passed by Claire's desk, she paused specially and said, "let's wait and see."

Claire shook her head helplessly. Since she was a child, she had been the least eye-catching one in both school and work. This was also good. She rarely made enemies. However, since she had entered the Flower Wheel Company, she didn't know if her career had been developing all the way. The Flower Wheel Company attached great importance to her. Normally, she had some confidence in herself. But this time was different. She was very clear about the importance of this plan. It was related to the construction of an orphanage. She really didn't dare to act rashly.

She was depressed for a moment, and her eyes were attracted by the diary on the table. This was her diary when she was in high school. For so many years, she always took it with her wherever she went.

In fact, she seldom wrote down the diary. After seven or eight years, the paper had become a little yellow, but she still hadn't finished it yet.

She turned a few pages randomly. Basically, it recorded the events in her life, including joy and sadness. For example, she was admitted to S University in College Entrance Examination, her first relationship, her graduation ceremony...

All these past things reminded her of the old self who had dreams. 'You can't give up, Claire. Even if you lose, this is a chance!'

Yes, it was her dream to be a designer and draw for many years. Perhaps her persistence and pursuit moved fate. Therefore, the Flower Wheel Company was a gift from fate. She had to cheer up and face this matter seriously.

After making this decision, Claire decided to stay in the company to work overtime tonight. The good thing was that the perks of the Flower Wheel Company are good, even more welcoming than the Jiang Group in some places. There was a sofa bed in each office, so she decided not to go back to the Jiang family's villa in the evening and stayed here to design the plan.

Claire was so busy that she hadn't come back to the Jiang family's villa for a week. After listening to the butler's report, Chason frowned slightly. This woman was really heartless. She hadn't come back for a week.

Chason looked at the calendar. It seemed that even if the two of them could avoid meeting each other, they would still meet at this day. Perhaps there was something that the two of them should face.

In the advanced meeting room of the Flower Wheel Company.

"The design plan of the orphanage is in full charge of our Design Department, and this time, the main person in charge will be chosen from the employees of the Design Department - Linda and Claire. The design plan of the two will be the preliminary draft of the orphanage's design. Now, the director of the Flower Wheel Company's Design Department and our company's partner, the president of the Jiang Group, will decide who will be the person in charge. " The secretary of the Design Department started the meeting, and everyone applauded. The meeting seemed to be in high spirits because of the arrival of Chason. Especially for the female workers of the Flower Wheel Company, it was such an exciting thing to meet Chason in person.

Only Claire, the moment she walked into the conference room just now and saw Chason, who was sitting in his seat, thought she had an illusion. Why was he here? Wasn't she in the Flower Wheel Company? Did she have an illusion?

"Claire, sit next to Linda." It wasn't until the director called out to Claire that she took her eyes off of Chason.

After making sure that she wasn't hallucinating, she sat back in her seat in shock and saw that the man didn't look at her. She calmed down a little and suddenly understood something. It turned out that Chason was the partner of this project, so he was most likely the one who helped her enter the Flower Wheel Company this time. This man said that he wouldn't let her find a job, but he arranged a job that she longed for.

She felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. Why did he help her again? Why did he pour cold water on her every time he gave her hope and made her believe that he was the one who was wholeheartedly good to her.

And this time, he personally buried all her beautiful expectations for their marriage life. Claire thought that she could numb herself and forget what had happened in the past if she was immersed in her work and dream for such a long time. Including the life that was once in her, but was now gone forever.

Claire was distraught and didn't hear much about the report of the next meeting. It was not until the secretary said that she would choose one of her and Linda's design plans that she suddenly realized.

Claire's design plan and Linda's design plan were neatly placed in the middle of the table, on which there was the painstaking efforts of Claire who had stayed up all night. But at this moment, Claire hoped that her design would not be put on the table. If Chason still wanted to help her, she was unwilling to accept such help.

To be fair, the two of them didn't write their names on the plan.

Claire looked at the first plan picked up by the director. Obviously, it was not hers. A confident smile appeared on Linda's face. She had long heard about Chason and didn't expect that her company would be lucky enough to cooperate with the Jiang Group. And today, unexpectedly, Chason came to judge their plan in person, which meant that as long as her plan passed, she would have the chance to stay alone with him.

Others in the company admired Chason, but Linda knew Chason well. Her family was also a member of the rich and powerful circle in S City. This excellent and powerful man had long been the object of her admiration. If she could be connected with him, it would be helpful to her whole family in the future.

As soon as the plan of Linda was shown in front of everyone, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. "It's wonderful. The overall design is elegant and stylish. It's definitely a first-class design plan." The director's eyes were full of praise, and everyone followed suit. They turned to Chason and asked, "Mr. Chason, what do you think?"

Of course, his opinion was absolutely very important. After thinking for a moment, Chason nodded and said, "not bad."

Linda was overjoyed that she had been personally recognized by him! She glanced at Claire complacently, showing a trace of disdain at the corners of her mouth. Did Claire still want to compete with her?

In fact, Claire didn't hold much hope from the beginning. After all, she hadn't received any systematic art design education. Compared with the capable and experienced Linda, she was really not confident. But she still wanted to have a try. Even if she didn't end up getting picked, she didn't care.

"Let's see the second plan." When the director opened Claire's design plan, his eyes lit up, "it's so unique!"

With only one glance, the corner of Chason's mouth twitched. It must be Claire's.

It had to be said that the limited editions of the books given by Chason must have made a great contribution to her design plan.

A trace of surprise flashed through Linda's eyes, but after she saw the reaction of Chason, she was relieved.

Everyone looked at Claire's design, which was a little different from the one in the beginning. Some people liked Claire's design very much, but some people had a negative attitude. The crowd began to discuss. The director coughed and said, "let's leave the final decision to Mr. Chason.

Chason glanced at the design drawing, and then glanced at both of them. At last, he looked at Claire and asked, "tell me, why did you design this?"

Claire was taken aback. She knew that she would face this man sooner or later.

She thought for a while and finally spoke out the design concept of the orphanage bit by bit.

But this feeling was like when she had done something wrong in primary school and was questioned by her family.
