Chapter 6 Are You Afraid of Your Lover's Jealousy
Doris's eyes immediately turned red, and she shook her head. "I didn't mean to, Dr. Kalmien. I'm sorry."
After speaking, she took a step back and bowed apologetically to Josephine.
She didn't get up.
Stuart was immediately angry. "Josephine, what are you doing? Is there a problem with Doris calling you like that?"
"I'm not friends with her, and I don't want to be called by my nickname." Josephine smirked sarcastically. "You can continue."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Stuart went after her.
His collar was grabbed.
He turned around, and Doris looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Stuart."
"Wait for me here."
Stuart left this sentence and hurriedly chased after her.
Doris's hand fell empty, and she slowly clenched her fist.
She gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and told herself not to be anxious.
Stuart caught up and grabbed Josephine's arm. "Why are you angry?"
"Me? Angry?" Josephine was about to laugh in anger. "Do I have the right to be angry?"
Stuart suddenly asked her, "Were you intentional yesterday?"
Josephine was puzzled. "What?"
"You let Doris see the marks on you." Stuart's voice was cold. "Don't play such tricks in the future."
Josephine took a deep breath, her eyes red with anger. "Then please Mr. Haustia not to touch me in the future!"
Faced with her clear and bright eyes, Stuart had to avoid this topic. "What do you want from me?"
"Nothing."
"Josephine!" Stuart pulled her into his arms, his hands imprisoning her waist. "My patience is limited!"
All his patience had been given to another woman.
Then what did her three years of effort mean?
She was like a joke.
Josephine suddenly laughed.
She laughed so much that she was about to cry.
"Stuart, are you not afraid that your lover will be jealous?"
Stuart realized that he was holding her tightly. They were intimately close.
And they were in the company, surrounded by people.
He let her go. His expression was not as gentle as when he was with Doris just now.
"What's the matter that made you run into the company at noon?"
Josephine had just decided not to say anything. The atmosphere made it impossible for her to say the words of begging him.
But perhaps, the warmth of Stuart's embrace just now gave her some courage.
She spoke, "My dad wants to take over one of your projects."
Stuart's expression was indifferent. "Do you care about this kind of thing?"
"My dad called me and asked me to tell you."
Stuart said directly, "This project involves core technology of new energy. Your family's company is not up to this level yet."
His voice was cold, his attitude was tough. His expression was serious, and he looked very domineering.
Josephine regretted.
What was she still expecting?
She smiled, "Okay, I see."
After speaking, she turned to leave.
Stuart suddenly reached out and grabbed her. "Is that all?"
Josephine looked puzzled. "Otherwise?"
"Is this your attitude when you ask for help?"
Josephine asked, "So, is there still room for maneuver in this matter?"
"Originally, no." Stuart said, "But there is something, if you handle it, this project, it is not impossible for your family company to participate."
"What is it?"
Stuart let go of her before saying, "You let Claudia help."
'Claudia?'
'The matter of that dress?'
Josephine smiled, "Mr. Haustia, Claudia won't make clothes for your mistress?"
"Now you are asking me for help." Stuart's face was gloomy. "Watch your attitude!"
"If Claudia agrees to make clothes for her, you have to give the project to my dad, even if his company's technology is not mature enough?"
Stuart said, "I will coordinate."
Josephine didn't ask again, just bowed her head. "Okay."
When she took the elevator down, she happened to meet Stuart's assistant, Ronald Collins.
Ronald was holding a famous cake box.
Seeing Josephine, he instinctively hid the box behind him.
This cake was soft and delicious, sweet but not greasy. The boss of this cake was willful, and the cake was limited every day.
Josephine would also buy a box when she wanted to eat.
"Mr. Collins, you're lucky today," Josephine said with a smile. "Did you wait in line for a long time?"
Ronald had no choice but to take out the things. "Mrs. Haustia, I'm just helping out."
Helping out?
The only person who could give orders to Ronald in this company was Stuart.
Stuart never ate sweets. This cake must be for Doris.
Josephine left the Haustia Group and went straight to Claudia's house. She relaxed only when she took off her shoes and sank into the sofa.
Claudia turned out to be a rich girl who had never suffered.
Later, Claudia's family went bankrupt, and she lost her status. Fortunately, she had a few friends to help her, and now she was slowly making a name for herself in the fashion design world.
Despite the ups and downs of life, Claudia still had a naive innocence.
"Josie, what's wrong?"
She handed Josephine a cup of coffee. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Shall we go out or order in?"
Josephine shook her head. "Claudia, I have something that need your help."
"What is it?"
Claudia looked at her and suddenly remembered.
"You mean the thing about Stuart making clothes for his mistress?"
Josephine nodded gently.
"Josie," Claudia was angry. Her chubby cheeks puffed up. "Stuart is so bad. Can't you stop liking him?"
Josephine ruffled her hair. "Claudia, you don't understand."
"I don't. But if love is like this, then I'd rather not love anyone in my life."
Josephine smiled. "Not all love is so painful. Claudia, I'm fine. You can make clothes for that Doris."
"I won't make them for her!" Claudia huffed angrily. "Your clothes are unique. Why should I make clothes for her?"
Josephine shook her arm. "That's because you want to make something better for me. I've worn this dress, so it's okay to give it to her."
"Yeah!" Claudia's eyes lit up. "I can make something better for you! But..."
She looked at Josephine seriously and ordered angrily, "Can you stop wearing those clothes that don't suit you in the future?"
Josephine paused for a few seconds, then nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you on what to wear in the future."
Claudia was happy. "Great! I've designed a lot of styles that suit you. Let me show you!"
Josephine measured Claudia according to Doris's size and made her a set of evening gowns.
Soon, two days later, Josephine received a call from Todd. The project had been taken care of.
Stuart had indeed kept his promise and acted quickly.
Josephine, however, felt ironic.
The Kalmien family was able to get this project because of Doris.
It was ironic.
Josephine had just hung up Todd's call when her phone rang again.
This time it was Claudia on the line.
As soon as Josephine answered the phone, she heard Claudia giggling.
"What's making you so happy?" she asked.
Claudia laughed, "Doris wore that dress, the same one as yours. Guess what happened?"
