Chapter 811 This Pitiful Appearance Makes Arthur Very Disgusted
"The guy who came here for coffee earlier is just a friend. I know my place and wouldn't do anything inappropriate," Diana said, her eyes downcast, looking meek and nervous.
If he didn't know she was involved with his uncle's group, he might have felt sorry for her and wouldn't have treated her so coldly.
But she was against him, so he couldn't show her any kindness.
"You don't need to explain. I don't care," Arthur replied.
"I know, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried you'll tell Kade's dad," Diana said, not expecting to pique his interest. She just wanted to protect herself, her friends, and her family at the orphanage.
Arthur let out a cold laugh, his dark eyes fixed on her obedient face, which was so different from the resolute expression she had when she refused his invitation to join his side. He found it ironic.
She was pretending.
Thinking of this, Arthur felt a surge of anger. He reached out and grabbed Diana's chin, forcing her to look up at him. "When you want my help, why don't you think about how you rejected me before?" he said coldly.
Diana's chin hurt from his grip, her eyes reddened, but she still managed to apologize, "Arthur, I'm sorry."
Sorry?
Arthur didn't want to hear it. He released her chin, pressed the elevator button, and walked in as soon as the doors opened.
Diana stood at the elevator entrance, her eyes red and full of grievance as she looked at him.
Her pitiful appearance made Arthur feel disgusted.
But despite his disgust, he couldn't help but look at her.
It was like some kind of magic.
What a nightmare.
Meanwhile, the collaboration between JK and Darian was approaching. To ensure everything went smoothly, Violet made a special trip to JK's office the day before signing the contract.
As soon as she arrived, the female designers at the company excitedly gathered around her, greeting her warmly.
They had seen Brady share a family photo on Twitter.
In the photo, Violet had given birth to three adorable kids, yet her figure remained slim and trim.
The girls at the company were envious.
They hadn't had children and still didn't have a figure as good as Violet's.
So when she arrived, they immediately pulled her aside, asking for her secrets to maintaining her figure.
"Violet, how did you lose weight after having kids? I'm so jealous of your figure."
"Violet, did you hire a personal trainer?"
"Violet, share your tips with us. We're envious."
Everyone was talking at once, eagerly asking her for her post-pregnancy weight loss secrets. Violet felt dizzy from their questions. She hadn't hired a personal trainer; she just had a nanny who prepared non-fattening meals for her.
Everything else was her recovery.
"There's no secret. It's just—" Violet was about to explain that she lost weight by eating a balanced diet after giving birth when Max hurried over and interrupted, "Violet, perfect timing. Are we all set with the contract?"
"I came here today just for that," Violet quickly replied, getting back to the main topic.
"Great, come to my office, and we'll discuss it in detail," Max said, then turned to the female designers surrounding them. "Don't you all have work to do? Chatting around like this, be careful or you'll lose your year-end bonus!"
After Max's warning, the designers quickly dispersed and returned to their desks.
They didn't dare risk losing their year-end bonus.
