Chapter 371 Why Not Stay For Dinner?
After Violet bounced outta the Hall Group building, she flagged down a cab and zoomed straight to the villa address Amelia had given her.
About 20 minutes later, the taxi pulled up at the villa.
Violet hopped out and started hunting for Amelia's spot according to the address. Once she found it, she rang the doorbell like her life depended on it.
Soon enough, a maid opened the door. Before Violet could even say a word, the maid warmly invited her in, "You must be Ms. DeVere from JK, right?"
"Yep, that's me." Violet followed her inside.
As soon as she stepped in, a massive Germen Shepherd came outta nowhere and lunged at her. Freaked out, Violet was about to dodge when a strong arm wrapped around her from behind. She spun around in a panic.
It was that creep Aiden!
Violet immediately tried to shove him away, disgusted. Aiden, like he was expecting it, didn't get mad at all. Instead, he smirked, "Ms. DeVere, did I scare you?"
How could she not be scared? Violet just didn't wanna admit it.
'Who the heck lets their German Shepherd roam free without a leash?' she cursed in her head.
"No worries, thanks, Mr. White." On the outside, Violet had to play nice with Aiden.
She was just faking it.
Aiden's sharp eyes roamed over Violet's fair face, liking her more and more. No wonder Brady was into her too; she was fresh, fair, and beautiful.
Aiden stared at Violet like he wanted to own her in every way possible.
Violet hated being looked at like a piece of meat. She quickly took a couple of steps back to keep some distance and said, "Mr. White, is Ms. Garcia here?"
She knew Amelia and Aiden were together. So she cut to the chase. Otherwise, if she wasted time here, who knew what Aiden might try?
Aiden, having touched Violet's lower back, seemed reluctant to let go. He rubbed his fingers together and said, "She's waiting for you in the living room. Let's go." With that, he started leading the way.
Violet calmed her nerves from being creeped out by Aiden and reluctantly followed him.
Finally, they reached the living room, and there was Amelia, sitting all elegant in a fancy dress.
Seeing her, Violet felt a wave of relief. She quickly walked over and handed her the design draft. "Ms. Garcia, here's the new design draft. Hope you like it?"
Amelia actually harbored some serious hostility and jealousy towards Violet, but with Aiden around, she couldn't show it. She pretended to be all gentle as she took the draft and looked it over.
Violet continued, "Ms. Garcia, you need to decide today. If you're still not happy with my work, I hope you can let JK know so we can assign another designer. Otherwise, the dress won't be ready in time."
"I get it." Amelia replied with a fake, unfriendly smile.
Amelia actually had no beef with Violet's design. She was just jealous 'cause Aiden was into Violet. Out of spite, she'd been making things tough for Violet. But she figured it was enough now. Otherwise, like Violet said, the dress wouldn't be ready in time. Then she'd have nothing to wear to the event.
"Let's go with this design." Amelia finished checking the draft and tossed it back to Violet, saying, "Ms. DeVere, make sure it's done by the end of the month, or you'll be in trouble."
Violet replied, "Got it, Ms. Garcia. Don't worry." She took the draft and stuffed it in her bag, saying, "Ms. Garcia, if there's nothing else, I'll head out."
With that, Violet intended to leave immediately, but Aiden stepped in front of her, blocking her way with a teasing smile, "Ms. DeVere, why not stay for dinner?"
Suppressing her disgust, Violet took a step back and said, "Mr. White, I don't wanna intrude."
"Ms. DeVere, it's fine. Ms. Garcia has something to attend to later, and I was just worried about having no one to dine with," Aiden said in a seductive tone.
Amelia's face instantly turned sour upon hearing this.
'Aiden, that jerk, I knew he is into Violet.'
